For Sale . . . . Gorgeous, running project car (or make take it as is for your daily driver!) 1968 Ford XL (Galaxie 500 XL) rare 2 door fastback. The 1968 Ford XL (Galaxie 500 was dropped from the series name in 1967, but still a Galaxie) is the first year with concealed headlights (they work perfectly), the upgraded base V8 (302 cc; 4.9 L), and shoulder belts in the front. This vehicle also has the front disc brakes.
Car is in very good condition. The interior is clean. There is one patched 4 inch cut on the OEM replica headliner that is near the trim so it isn't very visible. Everything else is original. Leather seats are in great condition (one small tear on passenger seat, approximately 1 inch long). As seen in pictures, front windshield has a crack in it, but it has been there for years. There are, of course, some small dents, but these are on the bumpers (as seen in pics). The body is very straight. Has original motor and transmission. Engine runs fine and tranny shifts fine, car has never left me stranded. Also, it has passed emissions here in Tucson every year that I've had it. I actually had it registered with historic vehicle insurance this year, so it is now emissions exempt, so I did not have to run it through emissions this year. All of the trim is present (except for the chrome trim on the lower rear quarter panel on the passenger side), although the trim is more in daily driver shape than show quality. The first owner replaced the hood and driver side quarter panel in the 90s. The original paint was dark brown, but the car is currently painted brown. It will need a new paint job as the AZ sun has been working it's magic (see pics). Has AC, but the compressor needs to be replaced, otherwise should work fine. Vaccuum lines have all recently been replaced so headlights, windshield washers, etc work. Only defrost vent is not getting air. The front and rear window seals will need to be replaced as they are leaking slightly, but door window seals have been replaced. Car has all parts of the original jack except for the bumper hook. That will need to be found on salvage/ebay. This is a wonderful car that gets a ton of compliments whenever it is on the road. It would be an incredible project car. |

2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
Amazon looking to bring Kindle to your next car?
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Maybe so. The online retailer and digital media monolith recently announced the Amazon Cloud Player, an application for Ford Sync that allows users to stream media from their Amazon Cloud account directly to a Ford vehicle. This foray into automotive technology got the minds at Gigaom.com thinking about what could be next for Amazon. As Kevin Fitchard writes, the logical step is to make audio versions of your Kindle library selections available in your car. As he points out, Amazon has already laid the groundwork for such a move.
Amazon pulled the sheets back on Whispersync for Voice last year. The tech pairs ebooks with an Audible book for a small extra fee, allowing users to either read along with a narrator or switch between audio and text versions on command. Fitchard says it wouldn't be some great leap to apply the same principles to a car, where voice recognition software would allow users to pause or select chapters without ever taking their eyes off of the road.
It all sounds just fine to us, but Amazon hasn't said a thing about such a move. Still, we wouldn't be surprised to see the company come down this road in the near future just the same.
How did Ford keep the GT a secret before Detroit?
Mon, Feb 2 2015True secrecy is a rarity in the automotive industry. Sure, companies try to keep their future projects under wraps all of the time, but usually a spy shot or blurry development photo leaks out. The complete lack of any hard details before its unveiling likely helped make the Ford GT one of the biggest stars of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Not only was it the favorite of Autoblog's editors, but the supercar scored a prestigious EyesOn Design Award, too. Rumors about the vehicle had circulated for weeks before the show, but no one really knew much about the GT until it rolled onto the stage for Ford's press conference in Joe Louis Arena. Amazingly, the Blue Oval kept things mostly a secret during the car's 14- month gestation period prior to its debut. According to Automotive News, the GT project began in late 2013 by a skunk works team, including six designers, that guided the supercar along from birth until the unveiling. Ford kept things clandestine by locking the vehicle in a basement storage room, and only the group members got a key to the lock. Much of the development was also done at night to further keep the secret, but occasionally the prototype was hauled outside on weekends to check it out in natural light. Because of the speed in getting the development done and for even more stealth, the designers didn't get input from the Blue Oval's other styling teams around the world. But that was somewhat of a double-edged sword. "You don't actually get to bounce opinions off people," Ford design boss Moray Callum said to Automotive News. "We were on tenterhooks ourselves until the first people saw it." Even now, there are still mysteries surrounding the GT. There's still no official word on the supercar's power; just that it's over 600 horsepower. There are also the persistent rumors going back months that the Blue Oval plans to take the GT racing to celebrate the 50th anniversary of automaker's Le Mans victory. Although, maybe this time the secrecy wasn't so good because we might have got a glimpse of the racer, recently. Related Video:
