One owner, all original, 1962 Ford Galaxie with only 96,000 actual miles. Equipped with a 292 Y-Block V8 and 3-speed manual transmission with column shift, padded dash, deluxe two-tone white interior. Was driven daily by a woman until 2004 when she quit driving. Regular maintenance and repairs were always done on time and immediately by the same local repair shop in town for the entire life of the vehicle. The car had been sitting until last year when I acquired it. I have buffed and polished the original paint (two-tone burgandy and white top) and it looks really nice for a weathered but clean 'PATINA' look with the two-toned paint faded away but shiny. Throw a coat of wax on it regularly and preserve it for another 20 years. Original hub caps are included although not shown in the pictures. I have ran the engine with an electric transfer pump and a gas can, and it runs like a watch-clean, quiet and smooth as silk. I have overhauled the carburetor and reinstalled it, but have not replaced the fuel filters or the rubber hoses. Therefore I have not ran it on its own fuel tank. It wouldn't hurt to clean the tank first. This car is equipped with a factory optional auxiliary canister fuel filter, so there are two filters. I have also replaced the brake master cylinder, and removed the weathered and worn carpet. I have new fuel filters and new front wheel cylinders that should be installed. The original headliner, door trim panels, sail panels, quarter trim panels, and trunk mat is all intact and in very good condition so I have not removed it. The car will need front seat upholstery, carpet, and the dash pad is cracked. It will need a new ignition lock cylinder or switch but I have correct keys for the car. The right front floor pan is rusted through but easily replaceable and only $67, the driver front floor pan is somewhat rusted but not through the metal. The battery tray is rusted as well. The car will also need a battery. The tires are not road worthy and the left front only holds air for a few days and the right rear only for a few hours. I had hopes of getting the drivetrain all in good working order and driving it, but I am moving and do not have time to fix it and I already have too many vehicles that will be going into indoor storage.

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.
