You are bidding on a 1962 ford galaxie 500 2 door hardtop. Originally a white on red car with a 352 and cruisomatic. Car was built in Los Angeles, CA. From what I've been told from the previous owner, it now has a later 390 ford big block with a cruisomatic trans. Motor runs great and trans shifts good. Chrome headers, 2 1/2" exhaust with flowmasters. Interior is very nice. The car needs minor body work and paint, the floors are solid. The only signs of notable rust are in a lip under the front roof and in two lower parts of the passenger rear wheel well and front driver's door, also under the chrome on the deck lid. No major rust issues. Looks like the roof has been repaired in places, but seems very solid to me. The front end will need to be looked at. The car drives straight, but there is a clunk when turning (possibly control arm bushings and a rag joint). The heater is not hooked up, but the fan works great. All electrical in very good shape. Not much to get this thing sturdy for the road. The car needs attention from someone who has time to finish it. I have some of the chrome trim off of the car right now and in total I have 98 percent of all the chrome for it that will go with the car. The car has new brakes and axle seals. I also have a new fuel pump for the car. Any questions, please feel free to contact me . 949 six zero 7- eight 6 seven 0. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Winning bidder is fully responsible for payment and shipping arrangements. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of the final bid date. A cleared cashier's check or cash is my only acceptance of payment from the winning bidder. Good luck and happy bidding!

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car
Thu, 02 Jan 2014You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]
Thu, 29 May 2014Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.
