1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. 23,450 miles - Excellent condition all original and un-restored.  A classic muscle car.  1969 was the last year the Galaxie convertible was manufactured.  Only 6,910 were produced, and few survive.  I am the third owner and can provide the ownership history.  I bought the car 2 years ago when it had 17,500 miles on it. There is no rust. This car has always been stored indoors in climate controlled storage.  Owners have always been way over 40+ years of age.
Original numbers matching V-8 390 ci engine with automatic transmission. Does not consume or leak any oil
The electric top looks and operates perfectly like it was new. It is hard to believe it is 45 years old.  The removable cover has a small tear
Factory air conditioning is functional but is not charged up.  The heater and blowers work fine
The interior is all original and looks immaculate. People do not believe it is original.
Radio and all interior and exterior lights and signals work.  Cigarette lighter and clock do not have power, but I have not done troubleshooting
I replaced the wheel seals and the rear pinion gear seals due to evidence of leakage and a set of deteriorated control arm bushings
The body is rust free.  There is a golf ball size dent on the top of the right front fender from where I dropped a ladder on it.  Other than that the body is dent free.
The paint has a few scuffs and dings here and there. The chrome is all good except a blemish over the right exhaust pipe.   
If the car was repainted and the rear bumper re-chromed, this car would win local shows.
The car starts and runs smooth and quiet, and drives smooth and steady as you would expect a car with this low mileage.   
This is a rare example of a classic 60s era big block convertible in original unrusted condition.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
