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. Seems to be 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, or less, 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 frame on 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; indicating 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 see and drive this car, you will buy this car. 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...They check. 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 seeing is believing. 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 under what I have in it, so there is very little room to negotiate. 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! ADDED NOTE: It still has the orig radio in it, which is unplugged. I have a Sony stereo system with 4 speakers, bracket, and remote, that I was going to put in it. I never got around to it, but that Sony stereo set is included.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According 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. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.
Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
