I am selling my 1967 Galaxie convertible! I hate to let it go, especially after sparing no expense to fix every little thing. Now I have other irons in the fire, and will sell the car. I think it's my life story: Hunt it, buy it for myself, insist everything is fixed to perfection, then let it go for what I have in it for someone else to enjoy! Oh, well. This is truely a ground floor opportunity to get a clean muscle convertible before they go thru the roof in price as classics do.  You've got convertible, style, and muscle. Hard to get all that in any classic for under 20k. And it's red with white convertible top. I get compliments everwhere I go, as you can imagine. This car is all original, older restoration. It has been repainted beautifully sometime in the past. I took pics, but they don't do it enough justice. It runs perfectly. The original 390 engine has just had all the seals replaced (see pic of receipt) because it had a few minor drips. Over $400 later, it is now bone dry with new fluids. (oil and radiator fluids) Same with the transmission. I had a trusted reputable transmission shop that I have done business with for years, go through the transmission. It had a small drip; but to change out ALL the seals, the transmission had to be removed and gone through. Seals, torque converter, bushings, adjust bands, you name it. $800 later (and they gave me a break) the original cast iron transmission is bone dry with all new filters and fluid. Purrrfect. It is a drip free car. It runs perfectly, and the transmission and drive train are functioning perfectly. I pay attention to detail. All the bulbs in the dash work, as do all the gauges. (original, of course) The little blue light comes on on the dash when you start it up, and it's not up to operating temp yet. Now, lets talk about front end and brakes. Perfect. Tight front end, a treat to drive. You can take your hands off the wheel, no corrections needed. No shimmy, no shake. You can brake to a stop with hands off wheel, and it does not pull. Let's put it this way. If you come here and drive this car, you will know it's tight. Drive it over railroad tracks, no rattle! I've had hi dollar classics that sound like a bucket of rocks when you go over bumps. This is one sweet tight car. The mileage is ACTUAL 86000 miles. It states "actual miles" on my Kansas title. Kansas is a title inspection state... Body: Very clean driver. No rust in panels, trunk, or body mounts. Go over entire car with magnet! This isn't my first rodeo, and I know what to look for when I buy in the first place. Now, if I could only hang onto something before wanting to sell to get something else......The convertible top motor was sluggish and slow when I got it, and after fixing leak, hydraulics and all, it works perfectly with the touch of a button. Rises quickly and vigorously! I have turned all the little problems into a turn key car. Now, am I saying it's a 30k frame off restro and #1 garage queen? NO. Just a very clean dependable driver with a few (very few) minor dings, that is a treat to see, drive, and watch go up in value. If you can hang onto it! Interior is nice original, no cracked dash. (dashes usually crack on these) This car has had good care. I still have the original owners warranty plate. (see pic) I could go on and on, but feel free to email any and all questions. Email me your number and I will call you to answer more questions. I have it priced near what I have in it, so there is some room, but very little. You must make own arrangements to come here and take delivery, or hire shipping co.  Don't bid if you are not ready to buy with CLEARED funds.  I require $1000 down by Paypal upon completion of deal, and the rest can be paid when you pick up the car. Don't wait. What will this nostalgic red muscle convertible with stacked headlights be worth in 5 years??  Happy times!

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms

Tue, 25 Jun 2013

The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.

Ford reveals EcoBoost-powered Riley prototype for Daytona 24

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

It's not the first time Ford has participated in the Daytona Prototype class as an engine supplier, but in revealing this new EcoBoost V6-powered Riley Technologies prototype for the new United SportsCar Championship, Ford is making a statement: "We want to show Ford EcoBoost's capabilities as an engine that provides both performance and fuel economy, on and off the track," says Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing.
In addition to supplying the 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, Ford had its production designer Garen Nicoghosian give the racecar brand-inspired design cues with support from Ford Racing chief aerodynamicist Bernie Marcus.
The car is scheduled to compete at next year's Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 25-26, but before that, Michael Shank Racing is working with Ford at another goal. Driving his Ford Thunderbird, NASCAR champion Bill Elliott set the track's top speed record at 210.364 miles per hour during a qualifying run for the Daytona 500 - way back in 1987 -- and Ford thinks it's about time for that record to fall. What better time the introduction of this new Ford-powered Daytona Prototype? Michael Shank Racing plans to use the twin-turbo V6-powered racer to beat Elliott's record, and it expects to begin prepping for the top-speed run on October 9.
