Up for auction is an original 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD hard top. The car has a very good running 390 4BBL equipped with A/C and power steering. The car runs and drives excellent, the engine has had a recent tune up, carburetor rebuilt, original Cruise-O-Matic transmission rebuilt, and the exhaust shortened to exit just behind the rear wheels on each side rather that straight out of the rear as seen in a couple of the pictures. The car was dyno tuned after all of this work was performed, the 390 produced 349.7 ftlb of torque and 229.7 Hp @ 4050 RPM (see dyno sheet in photos). Front and rear shocks, belts and hoses have all been replaced within the past year. The undercarriage of this car is very solid, there is surface rust in areas that the paint has worn thin and chipped off but nothing that will require any major work. The trunk has surface rust as well, very solid. The rear quarter panels should be replaced, the rust is through in one area of the drivers side but the main structure of the wheel well is fully intact. Some of the chrome trim has pits but is straight and complete. The interior is original with the exception of the carpet, it is a high quality replacement. There is one seam that is split on the driver side top of the seat back, the original color has faded on the tops of the seats as well. The steering wheel has a couple of cracks, and the part of the dash above the gauges has warped and cracked it does look good with a dash mat over it though. This car is stored indoors and driven in good weather, it always starts runs well and draws a crowd wherever it goes, it is a lot of fun to drive. We have enjoyed taking it to many local shows and rod runs, it is ready to be driven wherever it needs to go with confidence. We will require a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of the auction closing, the balance due upon pickup or prior to. The car needs to be picked up here locally within seven days of auction close unless other arrangements are made. We can help with loading the car, or provide a ride from the airport.

Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene

Tue, 13 May 2014

Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.

FL man fatally shot after urging driver not to do donuts in a Mustang

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

Bradley Holt (pictured), the older half-brother of University of South Florida freshman quarterback Quinton Flowers, was killed in a random act of violence last week.
The 24-year-old Holt was throwing a football around with local kids in Allapattah, a neighborhood in Miami, when a yellow Mustang showed up and started doing donuts in the street. Holt, worried about kids playing in front his apartment complex, walked over to the driver and asked him why he was "driving so crazy with so many kids out here?"
The driver left. Holt's sister said the driver came back "about 15 to 20 minutes later" and fired two shots at Holt. One of them hit Holt in the back of the head, killing him.

Ford continues autonomous tech development

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Some of the autonomous-driving features that Ford offers in Europe will come to the United States as soon as next year. The Blue Oval will add the pre-collision assist and pedestrian detection technologies that it has already installed on the Mondeo sedan in Europe. Those features, part of what Ford calls the "second of three phases" in driverless technology, will be brought stateside in a yet-to-be disclosed model, while most of Ford's US vehicle line will have the features by 2019. It has been testing an automated Fusion for more than a year. Ford is looking to build upon the autonomous-vehicle technology that it already has on models such as the Fusion, Taurus, F-150, Edge, and Explorer. Those amenities include active-park assist, lane-departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring. Ford said early last year that it was working with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford University to develop algorithms for use in driverless cars. The effort is part of Ford's so-called "Blueprint for Mobility" geared toward autonomous driving features that are being developed over the next decade. FORD COLLABORATES WITH SILICON VALLEY INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM ON AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES, 3D PRINTING, WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY Autonomous vehicle technology is another step closer to production at Ford – moving from a research effort to an advanced engineering project Ford announces it is working with Silicon Valley-based 3D-printing firm Carbon3D to quickly produce high-quality automotive-grade parts Ford kicks off wearable technology development with MyFordÂ® Mobile app extension Â– coming soon to smartwatches including Android Wear Â– providing customers the ability to check vehicle driving range, battery charge and more for their plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle quickly from their wrists Autonomous vehicle technology is another step closer to production at Ford, moving from a research effort to an advanced engineering program, the company announced today. Ford has appointed a director of autonomous vehicle development Â– 29-year Ford veteran Randy Visintainer Â– and created a global team to work on the advanced program. Ford Research and Innovation Center Palo Alto is working on the global Ford team to deliver the Ford Smart Mobility plan, which aims to take the company to the next level in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience and big data.
