Here is a very rare, excellent example of a 1959 Ford Galaxie Sunliner convertible. This is the model with both Galaxie and Fairlane 500 designation,. Factory colors of Colonial White over Indian Turquoise. This is a very original California car - awesome original sheet metal, very straight and pretty much zero rust. Some paint chips and scratches in paint, a few very subtle small dings. Body gaps are great, doors and deck lids line up and shut nicely. It is running the original 332 FE v8 (2bbl Holley carburetor) and the Cruise-O-Matic transmission. As far as I can tell, it has had one repaint 40+ years ago. It has a super nice, largely original interior -- I think the carpets and seat inserts have been replaced in the past. This car had been parked in a climate controlled garage at least 24 years prior to when I got it. I did spend a lot of time and $$ making repairs and upgrades to make it a really nice driver:
- New front end and shocks complete.
- New brakes.
- New www bias ply tires as original.
- New carburetor, generator, regulator, fuel pump, water pump, hoses and belts.
- New fuel tank.
- New convertible top and weatherstrips, hydraulic pump, lift rams and hoses.
- Recent tune up.
- NOS Foxcraft stainless steel fender skirts.
- New hubcaps and accessory spinner.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.
Feds Probe Power Steering In 938,000 Ford Midsize Cars
Mon, Oct 6 2014U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints that the power-assisted steering can suddenly fail on three Ford midsize car models. The probe covers 938,000 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ cars from the 2010 through 2012 model years, as well as the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received 508 complaints alleging that the cars lost power-assisted steering, causing increased steering effort. Four complaints say the problem caused crashes, but no injuries were reported. The agency says in documents posted Monday on its website that in many cases, a warning message appeared as the failure happened. Restarting the car corrected the problem in some cases, but the problem returned in others. The agency says it will check the scope and frequency of a problem. It could seek a recall. Ford says it's cooperating with the probe. Shares of Ford Motor Co. rose 6 cents to $14.65 in morning trading Monday. Its shares are down 14 percent over the past year.

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
