Here is a good project for someone looking for a convertible. Its a 1968 Galaxy XL Convertible that will need total restoration. I took it on trade and have no time to do the car. It can be used to restore or parts. Its very complete but not totally. As u can see in the pics, it has its share of rust. Frame has rusted areas that will need attention or replaced. the body is fairly decent with past bodywork done to it. I do have the front bumper but it will need a better one. The quarters have been patched, the doors are very decent but will need a little work but usable, the fenders are nice and will also need very minor work. Has very rare hide away headlights that im told work perfect when the car is running. The deck lid has been redone but the previous owner when they started the restoration. The hood is very nice. Most of the trim is on the car. All the glass is there and good. Windshield has a couple stone chips but no cracks. It has the XL interior with the exception of the front seats that have been replaced. The interior will also need to be restored and does include the original center console that is in surprisingly good shape. looks like the shifter handle is wrong. I have not tried to start it, but was told that it starts, moves, and stops but has a miss in the motor. I did how ever put a battery in it and many things powered up and worked, including the headlights, taillights, blinkers, radio (aftermarket), and of course the power top which went down and back up smoothly with no problem. It will need a new top installed. The brake pedal is firm and appears to have good brakes as i was told. Its a 390 2V with an automatic transmission that appears to be original and all there. Surprisingly also, the floors and trunk floor are in very nice shape and dont appear to need replaced. The tires hold air but sorry i dont have the hubcaps. That being said, keep in mind that i would like to sell it as a project and have listed it as such. Im located in Michigan in the "thumb" region and would be happy to help with transporting within a reasonable distance. I ma including my number to be able to best answer all question personally rather than trying to describe things thru email. I am listing it with NO RESERVE so u have a chance to win it very cheap. Thanks for looking at my car and happy bidding. 989-670-2700 call or text.

Jay Leno's Garage goes eco with Ricardo HyBoost

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

"Now before you turn away, this is not another boring hybrid car thing..." Despite the slightly defensive introduction from Jay, the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage is actually pretty fascinating. The Ricardo HyBoost is a 2009 Ford Focus that has had a 1.1-liter engine swapped in for the stock 2.0-liter four. That might not get you performance enthusiasts out there fired up, until, that is, you hear that the 1.1L is also fed by both a turbocharger and an electrically driven supercharger for an instant-on "torque-fill" effect. Sounds about right, considering that Ricardo engineering is part of the genius behind the McLaren P1.
Perhaps most exciting of all, the Ricardo folks say that the package should run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,100. A sort of performance-hybrid that makes sense for the frugal driver and the enthusiast one, then. There's a lot more to the HyBoost, all of which can be seen in the video below.

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
