TONIGHT I AM OFFERING FOR THE 1ST TIME MY 1963 & 1/2 FORD GALAXIE FAST BACK 2 DOOR HARDTOP. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A LIL OVER 1 YEAR. I WAS FIXING IT UP FOR MY SON, WHO JUST GOT HIS LISCENSE. AS TIME WHEN ON I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GIVE HIM THIS CAR. AS A PARENT I THINK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WITH THIS KIND OF POWER & HIM BEING A NEW DRIVER AT 16 YEARS OLD THIS HAS MADE MY DECISION FOR HIM NOT TO HAVE THIS AUTOMOBILE. THIS CAR RUNS & WILL YARD DRIVE. THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR. THIS FORD HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD & IN STORAGE SINCE JULY 8TH OF 1981. I DO HAVE THE TITLE FOR THIS CAR BUT IT WAS FILLED OUT ON THIS DATE & IN SOME TIME THE WINDSHEILD HAD CRACKED. IT WAS PUT AWAY IN THE GARAGE AND NEVER FIXED. AND THE CAR WAS NEVER REGISTERED. THE MILEAGE READS 47,506. IT HAS NO MILEAGE ON THE TITLE THEREFORE I CANNOT VERIFY IF THIS IS THE TRUE MILEAGE OR NOT. I HAVE PUT A CARTER 4 BARREL CARBURETOR ON THIS, IT IS A 4 BARREL CARBURETOR WITH ELECTRIC CHOKE. THE ELECTRIC CHOKE IS NOT HOOKED UP. THE CAR CAME WITH A FACTORY AUTOLITE CARBURETOR 4 BAL WHICH COULD NOT BE REBUILT THIS IS WHY I WENT WITH THE CARTER. OTHER THAN THE CARBURETOR EVERYTHING ON THIS AUTOMOBILE IS FACTORY STOCK MATCHING #'S. THE CAR WAS ORDERED 3 SPEED MANUAL SHIFT 3 ON THE TREE, IT WAS ALSO ORDER WITH FACTORY POWER STEERING. AND FACTORY OVERDRIVE. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH. I HAVE REMOVED THE BRAKE SHOES & SPRINGS AS THEY WERE FROZE FROM ALL THESE YEARS SITTING.

THE SPARK PLUG WIRES WERE OLD & BRITTLE SO I REPLACED THEM WITH SOME OLD ONES I HAD. BEFORE I HAD ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS OLD GIRL RUNNING AGAIN, I FILLED EVERY CYLINDER WITH MARVIN'S MYSTERY OIL & LET IT SOAK. THE OIL IS STILL IN THE MOTOR TO THIS DAY. THE 390 MOTOR RUNS GOOD, NO ROD RAPS OR LIFTER NOISE. IT HAS 1 STICKY EXAUST VALVE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE RIGHT BANK. I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE & HAVE THE VALVE COME DOWN & HIT THE PISTON, I HAVE THE PUSH ROD FOR IT.

Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
2020 Ford Explorer safer than old model; crash test ratings short of Top Safety Pick
Mon, Dec 16 2019The 2020 Ford Explorer three-row crossover has improved on the outgoing model in many ways. According to the IIHS, it has also improved in a number of safety categories, but not enough to earn a Top Safety Pick award. The culprit is not the headlight performance for once. The Explorer's headlights were given an "Acceptable" rating, which would be sufficient for Top Safety Pick, if not Top Safety Pick +. Where the Ford falls short is in the front small overlap driver-side crash test, in which it got the second highest "Acceptable" rating. The IIHS requires a "Good" rating in this category, whereas an "Acceptable" rating on the passenger side would be, well, acceptable for Top Safety Pick. According to IIHS, Ford will be reviewing the results to figure out what the issue is, and it will likely make revisions to future Explorers to improve the result. Other than the one test, the Explorer performed admirably. It received a "Good" rating in all other crash categories except the passenger-side small overlap that was not tested. Both its standard and optional forward collision prevention systems had the highest "Superior" ratings, with the standard one preventing a collision with a car at speeds of up to 25 mph, and the optional one avoiding a collision at 12 mph, and "nearly" preventing one at 25 mph. Headlights are rated as "Acceptable" and so is access to child seat LATCH anchors. Also worth noting is that the Explorer's crash test ratings apply to its luxurious twin the 2020 Lincoln Aviator, meaning it also doesn't get a Top Safety Pick rating. The forward collision system performed the same as in the Ford, and the only difference between the two was in headlight performance. The Lincoln's standard headlights, included on the base, Reserve and Grand Touring trims, have the second-lowest "Marginal" rating, but the optional headlights for those trims, and the standard ones on the Black Label trim, received the "Good" rating. Among three-row Explorer competitors, the Honda Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe XL, Kia Telluride, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander all have a Top Safety Pick. The Hyundai Palisade, Mazda CX-9, Subaru Ascent, and the slightly smaller Kia Sorento and Volkswagen Tiguan all have a Top Safety Pick +. As for Lincoln Aviator competitors, the Cadillac XT6, Infiniti QX60, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 get a Top Safety Pick. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and two-row-only BMW X5 get the Top Safety Pick + rating. Related Video: Â Â Â
Deep discounts — $12K, $13K, $16K — are fueling a pickup price war
Mon, Jun 4 2018Heavy discounts of up to $16,000 per vehicle are fueling a "truck war" among full-size pickups sold in the United States by the Detroit Three, a Reuters analysis shows. Strong U.S. sales this year of the highly profitable big trucks have helped offset lagging passenger car sales. But it is not clear how much of the truck demand is linked directly to ample factory incentives and dealer discounts, or how far sales might decline without those subsidies. A Reuters survey of Ford, General Motors Co's Chevrolet and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles's Ram truck dealers across the United States indicates stores are offering deep discounts the country's bestselling full-size pickup trucks. "The walls are not crashing down on full-size trucks," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of global vehicle forecasting at AutoForecast Solutions in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania. Detroit-based automakers want to keep cranking out their high-margin trucks, he added, and "giving up a little of the profit is the cheapest way to do it." Stores are offering discounts of up to $12,000 on the 2018 Ford F-150, which remains the best-selling vehicle in the country, recording more than 80,000 sales in May. Discounts run up to $13,000 on the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado and as high as $16,000 on the Ram 1500. Average transaction prices for full-size pick-ups range from around $42,000 to $45,000, industry analysts and automakers say. All three companies are spending furiously - GM and Fiat Chrysler to help sell off carryover 2018 trucks to prepare for redesigned 2019 models, and Ford to sustain its long-held sales crown. A supplier fire that temporarily shut down production of the F-150 last month "changed the game," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive in Troy, Michigan said. The supply halt nudged Ford's crosstown rivals "to ratchet up incentives on the current models to go after weakness at Ford," he said. Deals advertised on the companies' official websites range from rebates and low-interest loans to ultra-cheap lease rates, but they are not telling the whole story. Ford, for instance, advertises a $2,000 rebate and a $500 financing credit on sales of certain F-150 models. But James Collins Ford in Louisville, Kentucky, is offering discounts of up to $12,215 on the 2018 F-150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4. The price cuts are even steeper at a number of GM and Fiat Chrysler dealers. Quirk Chevrolet is selling the 2018 Silverado 1500 Double Cab at $13,000 off sticker.
