Thank you for your interest and welcome to my auction for this very rare 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible! 1961 Was a very distinct year for the Sunliner as it showcased the new signature round Ford taillights and last year of the mini-fins. In fact, these cars are so sought after Hagerty values a condition 1, 1961 Ford Sunliner Convertible the at nearly $70K!! Now, this is not a condition 1 car, however, it makes an excellent candidate for a full restoration project for those looking to put the time and money the car deserves and still see a return on investment if needed. And for those who want a weekend cruiser for your local car shows or simply drop the top on beautiful days...well this is a perfect candidate as well. This particular car has little things that make it quite unique and add to it's collectible value. It is so hard to find a 53 year old car with it's original keys! It has the original owners manual! It's also a 'X' Code Sunliner, meaning it came with a 352ci V8 from factory (I'm told this may not be the original motor). Included in the sale are original Ford Galaxie/Sunliner advertisements and brochures (see photos). As per the VIN, this is a factory black exterior with red vinyl interior and white top. The car was also came factory with the Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The Sunliner was the high-end model for the Galaxie line up and featured many upgrades such as: Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top, A/C, and radio. All but a/c and radio are working on this car. As mentioned this car is a daily driver. The complete drivetrain including the motor, automatic transmission and rear end are in perfect working order. The interior shows very well, but does have wear and tear, such as the carpet, driver door panel and random interior finishes. The car does have a brand new top (no leaks). The exterior also shows well, but the car does need a paint job. It has fading in several spots. The car is not 100% rust free. Some rust is found on lower door panels and in the top of the trunk where it meets the convertible top (see photos). It's not rust that has eaten all the way through. It's still repairable. However, to my knowledge there is no chrome trims or moldings missing on the car (great news for those looking to restore). Several different parts, trims, moldings etc. are included in the sale (see photos). All main exterior lights are in working order, Wipers work, speedometer and odometer work. I have included as many photos possible to assist in our description. However, if you require additional photos and/or have any questions please feel free to contact me, Gaston via message or call/text (786) 486-7746.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road
Sat, 12 Apr 2014If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost to hit 45 mpg for $16,445*
Mon, 28 Oct 2013When Ford first announced its plan to put the 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the 2014 Fiesta, it promised hybrid-like fuel economy without a hybrid-like premium. We're still waiting for official specs on this engine, but thanks to the EPA's fueleconomy.gov website and Ford's retail site, we now know what customers can expect in terms of both fuel economy and price.
All along, Ford has said that it expects the 1.0-liter EcoBoost to get more than 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and now the EPA backs this up with official ratings of 32 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These numbers are an increase of two mpg city and four mpg hwy compared to the current fuel-sipping Fiesta (the 1.6 SFE), and it also beats other three-cylinder cars for highway mileage like the 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage (44 mpg highway) and 2014 Smart Fortwo (38 mpg highway); the Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost is lower than both three-pot rivals, though, in city fuel economy with the Mitsubishi getting 37 mpg city and the Smart rated at 34 mpg city. This model handily beats high-volume small cars like the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Chevy Spark in both city and highway numbers.
As for pricing, the 1.0-liter EcoBoost is offered on both the sedan and hatchback as a $995 option called the SE Manual EcoBoost package, which is aptly named since it's only offered on SE trim-level Fiestas equipped with a manual transmission. Along with the engine, the package also comes with 15-inch steel wheels, regenerative brakes and a decklid spoiler on the sedan. This means the four-door Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost will start at $16,445*, or $17,045* for the hatchback (*not including $795 for destination).
2015 Ford Mustang to make world debut on Dec. 5 [w/video]
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Between a bevvy of spy shots, speculative renders and insidery images from the halls of Car and Driver, we've got a pretty decent idea of what the 2015 Ford Mustang might look like. Still, we're excited to see the real deal as soon as possible.
Turns out that Ford has told us just when that first official look might come, too, although it has chosen somewhat of a backdoor fashion for dropping the news.
The video below popped up on the Ford Mustang YouTube channel this morning, promoting a social media effort called #MustangInspires on. The video and hashtag ask fans of the pony car to share pictures of the car - or "photographic stories of inspiration" - on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. But the truly interesting part of the video description is that which mentions taking "the cover off the all-new Mustang" on December 5. Consider our calendars marked.
