I have decided to sell my 1961 FORD Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. It's a very nice Car with ZERO RUST anywhere.

The Floors are Flawless and have been protected with por-15, I just installed Thermo-tec Sound/Heat Insulation covering the complete floor. Also has Brand New carpet. The Rest of the interior is very good as you can see in the pics, Not Perfect but Very, Very Good. Keeping with the interior, It has a new glove Box, Homemade Center console to house gauges and the new radio (so the dash has not been cut for a newer radio), There is just a delete plate where the original would go. Has a full set of Stewart Warner Gauges, The Oil Pres, Amp, Vac all work. The Water Temp, Fuel Pres are not hooked up. The Auto Meter Tach just Stopped working and I haven't looked into it yet. Turn Signals,Tail,Head Lights, High Beams, Interior Lights, Gauge Lights All work. The heater is all there, water hooked up, doesn't leak but the wires are not hooked up and haven't fixed it yet. The front seatbelts are RACEQUIP 3" Lap belts, NO rear seatbelts. All the window roll up and down perfect and trim, weatherstrip, doors seals are great, doors just beautifully. Top goes up and down like it should and is in great condition.

The engine is a just rebuilt 390 with a 428 Crank making it a 410ci. There is maybe 300-350 miles on it. It has a mild cam, New Holley 4160 Carb, Pertronix coil and Ignition upgrade, New Wires, Plugs, Etc. Cast Iron Headers, Original adjustable rockers but now has hydraulic lifters, New Flywheel and New Ram Clutch. 2-10" Electric Pusher fans on thermo switch. New Starter, This engine is not even broke in yet and runs great.

The Transmission is a Borg T-10 4 speed that was just rebuilt and works like it should. I Do NOT have the Flywheel Cover and dust shield for the trans. Also has a brand new driveshaft from Carolina Driveline.

As you can see from the pics, The body is in great condition but is NOT perfect. There are some issues that need to be fixed. The driver Door looks like a Jack hit it (happened before I got the car) It's a spot about 4" long and you can see it in the pic. There are 2 spots about the size of a dime where the paint got chipped near the rear of the car/drivers side. The last area is pass side rear where it looks like someone leaned against it, kinda hard to see though. The Chrome is in great Condition, Only one piece of trim is damaged slightly and thats the pass rear quarter(2 small dings). The hood has a metal hood scoop that was there when I bought it, Nicely done and it's growing on me I have to say. The trunk is very solid, no rust but again, the previous owner put a fuel cell on the car and cut a hole in the trunk floor(about 6"x6") to refuel, Has been working with no issues though. Grille is great. Again, This Body is extremely solid, no Rust.

The wheels are new American Racing Daytona's 18" Rear, 17" Front, Tires have about 300-350 miles on them.

Front End has been completely rebuilt using MOOG ball joints, A-arm bushings, New Shocks, Poly Sway bar End Links, New Drag Link, Etc, Very Tight.

Take a look at the Pics, Please ask any questions you may have... It's not a perfect car but you can't get much cooler than this one. I start all my auctions @ $1.00 so all can get in on the action.

Also may be into trades, Trades +, 30's thru the 60's cars, Cobra Kits, 911, Let me know.

Thank you and good Luck

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
