1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
Simpsonville, South Carolina, United States
|
For sale is my 1967 Ford Galaxie V8, automatic 3 speed 289 with tree on the column. It has front and back bench seats with no rips or tears, but color fading on the top of front bench seat. Dash has a crack and steering wheel has cracks in material. Car starts and runs good, I use it to cruise around on the weekend and local errands on my days off if the weather is nice. I have owned it for about a year and I replaced the brake pads, thermostat, and had a mechanic rebuild the carburetor and tune it up. I usually warm it up for about 5 minutes before I drive it and it cruises down the road and even runs 70mph fine on the HWY (although I prefer to use back roads to just cruise when possible). I have owned the car for about a year and at first I had plans to put a 5.0 mustang engine and completely redo the interior but then my wife and I bought our dream house so the funds for this project are gone and I honestly have just moved on to a 2002 Mazda Miata convertible as my cruising vehicle (which is small but I love for anyone who is considering one). I still start the Galaxie up and will run it until it is sold so it is not just sitting around. I love the looks of this car but I was not using it enough and just decided to buy something that my wife and I could drive around the mountain roads, have fun and get good gas mileage. My mechanic told me that if I wanted to make it a daily driver but keep the same engine I should at least update to a new carburetor. I can take a video for those who want to see and hear it run, and I can send any additional pictures upon request, please just text me at 864-906-7884 Patrick. If I did not need a truck to haul hay for our goats and mini horses I would keep this Galaxie and slowly make upgrades to it. However,the funds from this sale will afford me to buy a truck, but I am not in a hurry nor desperate since my parents have a truck that I just borrow when I need one for now. |

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
Project Ugly Horse: Part V
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
