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.

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
