Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Galaxie. This car originally came equipped with a 351 Windsor small block and FMX transmission, but a 429 from a 1970 Thunderbird was professionally rebuilt, mated with a C6 transmission, and put into the car. The entire drive train has less than 2000 miles on it after rebuild. The Torq Thrust wheels also have fresh tires on them with the same amount of mileage as the drive train. The cars power steering was made to work with the new setup and handles moving this classic car easily. Upgrades to the engine include, Mallory Ignition, Milodon Oil Pan, New Alternator Brackets, Edelbrock Valve Covers, and Edelbrock Carburetor. The C6 shifts very solidly and responds well to the big blocks torque and power. The engine turns over quickly, idles well, and sounds great through the era-correct glass pack dual exhaust mufflers. The front disc brakes do a good job of stopping this big car, and the suspension, albeit tired, is extremely comfortable to ride in; like a cruise ship on the ocean. The Trunk, containing a working spare, is solid with no rust through, as well as the body panels. There are a few imperfections and nicks in the paint. The chrome of the vehicle is in similar shape, great from a few feet away but showing its age up close, as cars of this era, without restoration, have a tendency to do. The interior would benefit from a good cleaning, but with excepection to a 2 inch tear in the back seat, the upholstery and carpet have held up well. The dash has a pad on it due to a crack underneath and the rear view and passenger side mirrors are included but not on the vehicle. Also included is a brand new convertible top. The current top operates correctly, opening and closing well, but bears the age of the vehicle and would benefit from being replaced with the new, proviced material. The water pump would also benefit from a new gasket against the block. Not major or expensive work, but a good idea for cruising on hot summer days. I have had this car for almost eight years and hate parting with it, but a new baby means she will have to sit outside in the cold if I don't part with it now and I hate to see that happen to such a great car. There were less than 8000 of these beauties made, and arguably less than half still exist. With a little love this car would make a great daily driver. It always turns heads and draws smiles when I take it to the beach here. As with all car sales this Galaxie 500 is sold as is and the winning bidder assumes responsibility for pick up or shipping. I will happily work with the winning bidder to get this vehicle to them after the sale. This car should be towed to its destination as it does not have valid tags.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore

Thu, Jan 11 2024

The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery.Â A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.

Would you pay $17 a month to give your older Ford connectivity?

Fri, Mar 30 2018

When it was first introduced in 2007, there was nothing like the original Ford Sync system, since it allowed car owners to connect and use a portable device better than anything that came before it. And because it was a brought-in/tethered and software-based system, Sync leveraged a device's connectivity and was easily updated. It took competitors awhile to catch up: Toyota Entune wasn't available until 2011, and Chevy MyLink didn't roll out until 2012. But now Ford is the one playing catchup since it stuck with the brought-in strategy while most other automakers were quicker to add connectivity via an embedded cellular modem. Ford initially installed 2G/3G modems in its small fleet of electric and plug-in electric vehicles starting in 2012 so that owners could keep tabs on charging. Embedded connectivity came to Lincoln in 2014, and Ford began adding onboard 4G LTE via Sync Connect to select cars starting with the Escape in 2015. To get more cars connected more quickly, last week the automaker rolled out its FordPass SmartLink solution that plugs into the OBD port of 2010 to 2017 model year vehicles. This lets owners retroactively get onboard Wi-Fi, set up a "geo-fence" to keep tabs on a car's location, receive vehicle health reports and allows remote engine starting and door locking/unlocking using a smartphone app, among other features. But to connect older Ford vehicles will cost owners $16.99 a month for two years, not including installation. Ford throws in 1 GB of data or a 30-day trial, whichever comes first, after which owners have to add the vehicle to their Verizon shared data plan, which supplies connectivity for SmartLink, or establish a new account. (Disclosure: Autoblog is owned by Verizon.) By comparison, GM's 4G LTE data plans start at $10 a month for 200 MB and goes up to $30 for 3 GB, and owners can also add a car to an AT&T shared-data plan. But OnStar doesn't have a separate monthly subscription for the embedded modem or an installation charge, and standard features via the RemoteLink Mobile App are free for the first five years of ownership. FCA's Uconnect Access service also uses an embedded modem to provide similar telematics features for $20 per month following a free one-year trial, while a la carte in-car Wi-Fi is offered for $10 per day, $20 per week or $35 per month.
