1959 Ford Galaxie Retractable Skyliner on 2040-cars
Madison, Tennessee, United States
Beautiful 1959 Ford Galaxie Retractable Skyliner. I mainly buy/sell/collect Packards but occasionally deal in 50s American classics and this one is a really nice survivor. I drove this car home 10 miles in stop and go traffic and it performed well with no problems. It has obviously been well taken care of and everything matches the VIN info perfect. I took the pics under the carport to show the deepness of the paint, it's not show quality paint but very presentable. Chrome bumpers very nice and brightwork nice as well. Interior very nice, dash very nice, door panels very nice, undercarriage clean, brand new Coker WWW, engine clean bay and engine clean & detailed with fresh paint on air cleaner and valve covers--I've been told the valve covers and air cleaner were Red but also could be Orange. When I bought the car I was told everything worked perfect, the top was down and I closed it, it worked perfect and I drove it home. The next time I retracted the top everything worked perfect until the front roof finished unscrewing and then it would not fully unlock the two rear roof locks. I'm by no means an expert on these Ford retractables but have been told it simply needs a "Tray Limit Switch".
As I say with all the cars I sell it is not my intention to mislead the buyer in any way so please ask any questions you may have and I'll answer them honestly. The reserve is well below the NADA avg. for these cars and the car is definitely nicer than avg.condition. The car has 63902 miles and I was told that was correct. Here is the VIN info and it all matches correctly: VIN: C9EW284742

On May-08-14 at 15:40:47 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a question about the deck & top so I thought I would post this to help clarify. Deck lid is fully closed now and not stuck at all. The deck lid opens up perfect and when it stops the front of the roof uncrews perfect and then when the roof starts to retract it doesn't unlock at rear of roof unlocking areas--it wants to retract and you can tell everything is working except the unlocking part. Also, front bumper on is not dented it's just the refelction. |

Creations n' Chrome Top Notch Mustang is a one-of-a-kind fox
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Is there a cooler car from the 1980s and early 90s to mod than a Fox-body Ford Mustang? No, there isn't. If you disagree with us, we suggest you have a look at this 1990 Mustang Coupe, which just might change your mind. Although considering just how extensively modified this car - the Top Notch Mustang from Creations n' Chrome - is, we wonder just how much Ford is left in this old pony.
It rides on a custom race tube chassis that weighs a scant 700 pounds, while carbon-fiber bits and bobs help lower the overall curb weight to a mere 2,400 pounds. When paired with supercharged, 5.0-liter, Aluminator V8 from Ford Racing, the results are, doubtlessly, exciting. 855 horsepower at the rear wheels and 667 pound-feet of torque are available from that force-fed V8 should be just plenty for this car's intended purpose of running in standing-mile competitions.
The Top Notch Mustang is more extreme than just weight savings and a big engine, though. That 5.0-liter is essentially in what's known as a front-mid layout - where the engine is actually behind the front axle. In this case, the 5.0-liter V8 is 17 inches further back than a factory Fox-body, for better weight distribution. As a result, the cabin has been completely overhauled. An SLA front suspension, wheels from HRE, Wilwood brakes and Sparco interior items round out the extensive list of mods.
2015 Ford Focus sedan shows its fresh face in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014That handsome fellow you see above is the 2015 Ford Focus sedan. We liked the looks of the 2014 Focus, and the updates for 2015 only improve things to our eyes, with the adoption of the Aston Martin-inspired grille that has been permeating Ford's lineup these last few years. Sweeping, slightly bulbous headlamps join a revised, more demure lower grille opening to round out the styling updates up front. The rest of the car's look is just slightly massaged, including new taillamp clusters that look much like they did last year.
New for 2015 is the availability of Ford's 1.0-liter three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. There's also a new SE Sport Package that adds more aggressive suspension tuning, paddle shifters (when equipped with Ford's six-speed dual-clutch automatic) and a few body kit bits and pieces. Rounding out the mechanical changes are an updated electronic steering rack that promises better feel, suspension tweaks to make the ride more comfortable and some software updates designed to make the dual-clutch gearbox better behave itself.
In addition, inside there are a few interior upgrades, as well as some added comfort and safety tech that includes available blind-spot detection and lane-keeping assist, along with other more incremental changes that all add up to a better vehicle. We suggest you check out the official press release below for all the details, but not before scrolling through our image gallery of live shots above.
Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
