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!

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.

GM also sheds parts from its pickups to boost payload ratings

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

The row between Ford and Ram over who boasts the best-in-class tow rating for heavy duty pickups has revealed a number of things. Chief among them is a report that Ford removes items like the spare tire, jack, radio and center console from its vehicles in a bid to lower its base curb weight and therefore keep the truck's gross vehicle weight rating down.
For those that need a refresher, GVWR is the vehicle's curb weight plus its maximum payload. A lower GVWR allows Ford to station its F-450 among the so-called Class III pickups, despite the fact that internally, it has the makings of a more brutish Class IV truck.
Ford explains away these deletions, saying a customer could order their vehicle in such a manner. It has also come to light that Ford is not the only automaker to engage in such practices.
