This is a 1961 Ford Galaxie 4 door in good condition for what she is. We started working on her just over a year ago, but have not had the time to really devote. Started on the body work on the drivers side doors and have a new drivers front fender as the original one somehow got smashed up (I say somehow because this car is a TANK). Will need new tires and a new tranny, motor is fine. We have bled the breaks a couple times and it seems that is something that will need to be done every once in a while unless you change those out, which was in my original plan for her. Will need new ignition switch as well - right now, we basically hot wire it to get her started, but when she's going, she sounds mean. Seats will need to be re-upholstered, but the back seat is in decent condition if you wanted to wait on that.

As for extras, here is what I have invested for her so far: full moon hubcaps, fender skirts, purple flake steering wheel, new carb (not sure if the hubby kept on or took back off, but I know we have it somewhere still), new drivers side front fender.

I removed most of the chrome from the outside of her because I wanted a cleaner look. The only body chrome line left is the one going down her fins - however, they are not in pristine condition, so I was constantly on the lookout for new ones of those also. The drivers outside handle - whoever had it before me apparently decided putting a screw right through the chrome was a brilliant idea, so while I still have it, it's not currently on the car.

This is my baby, but times are rough and I just don't have the time or money to resurrect Medusa to her glory...so my loss is your gain. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I have the title signed over from the previous owner, but never transferred it into my name. But it is a CLEAR title.

**This is a local pickup ONLY - I will not deliver or ship this car. I do not own a trailer and I will forewarn you that she is a BOAT so you will need a pretty big trailer for her to fit on**

10/27 - Realized I did not outright mention that the trunk lock has been shaved and I DO still have the gas cover plate. In the picture of the rear, you can see the gas cover does not have the chrome plate on it, but I still have that in my possession

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US.

A cool boost to turbocharger performance

Fri, Jul 17 2015

Since the advent of the forced-induction engine, we have been looking for ways to get every drop of performance we can. There are many approaches to getting additional power using better intercooling, water injection, or even adding nitrous oxide. One take on a short instant burst of power is being researched by Mahle and involves providing supercooled air to an engine, which allows it to burn a leaner fuel mixture and produce more power. The supercooling idea is not new and was examined by Ford in 1993 on the Mustang Mach III concept car, then brought up again in 2003 with the SVT F-150 Lightning concept. Ford called its system the SuperCooler; it was designed to work with any turbocharged or supercharged engine equipped with a water-to-air intercooler. The system on the Lightning concept used a small tank of antifreeze that was hooked up to the truck air conditioning compressor. The air conditioning compressor cooled the antifreeze down to about 30 degrees. The other side of the tank was hooked up to the air-to-water intercooler, which usually had a temperature over 100 degrees. Once the antifreeze was circulated from the tank into the intercooler, it would lower the intercooler temperature and provide for a cooler, denser air charge into the engine; the result was around 50 extra horsepower for a burst of about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on the size of the tank. The system for the Lightning was to be offered as a $750 option and would have been targeted towards drag racers and the like, as it could be used for a run down the drag strip and then re-cooled by the time the truck was back in line. The system was fairly non-intrusive – it only weighed about 25 pounds and did not require a new compressor or intercooler. But as with many concepts, it was ultimately scrapped. The technology was always stuck in the back of my mind, but with larger and more powerful engines being produced it could not find its place. With the advent of new fuel economy standards, we have seen small-displacement turbocharged engines pop up and they seem like the perfect candidate for this type of technology. Ford's EcoBoost 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, as used in the Fiesta and Focus, is one such candidate for this technology. It would add a negligent amount of weight but could provide a boost of 10 to 20 horsepower when needed, like merging onto the highway or catching up to traffic.
