 You are looking at a 1966 Ford Galaxie convertible that I am listing for a friend. He purchased the car earlier this summer thinking it would make a great driver for his wife - but alas she does not like the car. (she
does like it - but feels it is way too big for her to drive). So - as things have turned out he has decided to sell the car. In looking the car over it is solid with a newer paint job apparent. The black interior is in good
overall condition with no rips or tears. The carpeting is in great condition and the convertible top is newer as well. The top motors work great to put it up/down. Note that the rear glass is REAL glass NOT plastic
like most of the replacement tops use. There is an underdash stereo that my buddy has never used which is hooked up to speakers in the trunk with a booster as well. Note that the original push button factory radio
is still in place in the dash (so the dash was not chopped up to install an aftermarket radio in it) Wear items - such as pedal pads etc look to be original to the car and are not excessively worn, indicating a high mileage
car. The odometer shows 4286 but I would believe that the  odometer has turned over at least once (see mileage  in the listing header - no way knowing for sure what it really is). All the glass is in good condition.
The body is solid as stated and all the gaps are straight. The doors hang straight with no sag and the bottoms are good. Rockers, fender and 1/4 bottoms look good. Chrome still is shiny and not all pitted and all the
aluminum trim is in good condition including the grille. Note that the headlight trim and tail light chrome would need to be re-chromed for show, but they are great as they are for a really nice driver. Tires are newer
15 inch radials with nice wheel covers. The trunk appears as it should - with nice original carpet and spare tire cover. Running gear - 390 V8 big block. The engine APPEARS to have been out for rebuild - this is stated
because it does run great, has headers, late model HEI ignition, Edelbrock aluminum intake with Edelbrock 4 bbl. carburetor and it was detailed when out. We cannot guarantee this however!!!. Newer hoses and
belts have been installed along with a one wire alternator. Engine starts right up and runs great. Sounds great too through the headers and dual exhaust. Transmission works fine and provides nice smooth cruising.
Win the bid - fly in - take the train or bus or come with a buddy (or your better half) and drive this baby home..

Again - please note that I am listing this car for a friend. Should you have any questions or want more pictures please contact me through e-bay or call me at 269 795-2647. I will do my best to get back to you with

Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell revisit bitter F1 rivalry in... Ford Fusion campaign?

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Formula One World Champions Nelson Piquet and Nigel Mansell haven't been on good terms since the 1986 season, when Piquet joined Mansell at the Williams team and Piquet spent the year privately fuming about not being granted the status of number one driver. Things only got worse from there - even though Piquet won the title the following year with Williams, still partnered with Mansell, the fuming was a lot less private.
They're back together after a 25-year silence, in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil to drive the new Ford Fusion. Called "Fusion Grand Prix," both men get the new Ford sedan, prepped to their liking - but still street legal, we assume - for a race to decide... well, who is faster behind the wheel of a Fusion.
There will be four episodes, with the first two having already aired. The third episode comes on January 29 and the race happens February 5. You'll find two video episodes and a press release below, but note - because it's a campaign for Ford Brazil, Piquet's dialogue in the vids isn't translated, so hit the Closed Captioning button to hear his side of the smack talking.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
