67 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Hot Rat Street Rod

Up for sale is my daily driven dream car. I am sacrificing it to go back to real estate school so I can better support my family. It's ok I will get another one.

I have personally watched people at car shows get out of their car and walk past numerous pristine show cars to see this wagon. As the feelings of nostalgia overwhelm them they open their mouth and say "When I was a kid we had one like this." My dad carried his surf board on the roof of something like this. I will gladly pass this torch on to the winner of this auction. This car is the epitome of cool. When I go to get gas it takes 45 minutes because of the people wanting to talk about it. Or take pictures. If you do not like attention do not bid on this car!

This car has the ever faithful Challenger 289. This one is equipped with a 2 barrel carb for good gas mileage and BBK shorty headers with true dual exhaust, Thrush mufflers, and chrome tips for the get up and go. It sounds like a chorus of angels chanting an old Metallica song. You should see the looks on peoples faces when I pass them in the fast lane on the interstate. This is a well maintained DAILY driven hot rod. You can literally purchase this car and drive it back and forth to work everyday, immediately after you get it. Some listings say "drive anywhere" this car is driven everywhere! Though it has been in some shows (and won awards) this is not a show car. You may call it a rat rod or street rod. It's just plain bad. It has some small dings and patina paint, about 4 colors of red, and the chrome is good but not perfect. The white on the roof is kinda thin in spots. This car makes no apologies. The surf and skate stickers, and the board on top, really draw a crowd.

I am the second (technically third) owner of this car. The original owners bought the car in Lasater Missouri and owned it till they passed away in the early nineties. It was eventually purchased in an estate sale by Miami Classic Motors and I purchased it through ebay and had it shipped to me for Christmas. At one point it sat in storage for 25 years. Hence the low miles. I have service records documenting the mileage.

I added the headers and exhaust. Professionally installed by a local speed shop. It has a rebuilt carb, new cap and rotor, condenser, points, plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, 160 degree failsafe thermostat, fuel pump, brake lines, battery tray, wheel cylinders, headlight switch, dimmer switch, all lights, seat cover, middle seat belts, cup holder and a bunch of air fresheners. I have worked out most all the bugs. The engine is freshly painted Ford Blue and the valve covers and air cleaner are freshly painted Thunderbird Gold. The original seat cover was in bad shape so I installed the seat cover like new upholstery by disassembling the seat and contact gluing the covers on and reassembling. I have worked in several custom shops and all work is professionally done. It could use new carpet if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not. Also the rear door doesn't latch properly and the window switch doesn't work. The window motor works fine though.

This car has factory air conditioning and it might work. I removed the belt when I got the car and haven't really needed air so I didn't put it back on. The wood was added to the car sometime in it's life. Country Sedans didn't come with woodgrain. The only mod I wanted to do but did not get around to is to cut one ring out of the front coil springs. I'll leave that to the next owner. Just please keep the hubcaps and don't put some new style ugly wheels on it. The tires were brand new when I got the car and are still in good shape. The windows are all in perfect shape and the cars shows no signs of being in any accidents.

As far as any problems: Like any old car will, the engine does leak a little oil and burn a little. It needs new header gaskets because the ones BBK sends with their headers are no good. Also it doesn't stop very well. I drive it everyday anyways and I just stop early and often. I think just a new brake master cylinder would do the trick.

CAR IS LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME, FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.

Buy with confidence you will not be disappointed with this car. This car is ready to go cruising.

Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown

Fri, 10 Jan 2014

You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

Ford Focus EV's slow sales trigger massive incentives

Fri, 25 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports Ford is having real trouble moving its new Focus Electric. As a result, the automaker is offering substantial incentives in an attempt to lure in more buyers. How substantial? Try $10,750 off of a three-year lease. What's more, the EV can now be had for $37,995 ($2,000 less than its original base price) on top of an additional $2,000 cash discount to buy the EV outright - or you can opt for 1.9-percent financing if you work through Ford Motor Credit. None of which factors in various potential government incentives. Last year, Ford managed to sell a paltry 685 of the 1,627 Focus EV hatchbacks it built.
Ford isn't alone in trying to woo more buyers to its EV effort. Nissan cut the price of its Leaf by a whopping 18 percent for 2013, now down to $28,800 and built in the USA. The move followed the automaker's substantial incentives in 2012.
If you want a Focus Electric, you can now apparently get your hands on one for as little as $285 per month with $930 due at signing for a 36-month lease with 10,500 miles per year.
