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

Overseas buyers are welcome but please be prepared to pay and arrange Shipping, I've used Fromm America for overseas shipping with no problems--they are very good. 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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Atieva making EV with former Tesla talent, Holland lowers PHEV incentives
Wed, May 13 2015A reduction of tax incentives on company cars in Holland is expected to put the brakes on plug-in hybrid sales. Cars are taxed at an average of 25 percent, with plug-in hybrids taxed at just seven or 14 percent, depending on emissions. Taxes on PHEV company cars will increase to 14 and 21 percent. With company car leases making up a third of vehicle sales in 2014, the uptake on PHEVs "will likely go back to regular volumes," according to Volvo's Christiaan Krouwel. It could be a boon for battery electric cars, as their tax rate will remain at four percent for company cars. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Ford is testing cylinder deactivation in its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine. On-road prototype testing has shown improvements in fuel economy of as much as six percent. Ford engineers developed a system using a new dual mass flywheel, pendulum absorber, and tuned clutch disc to allow cylinder deactivation under a wider range of speed and engine loads with less NVH. "The highest priority in the development of new combustion engines for automotive applications is the ongoing reduction of fuel consumption," says Ford's Andreas Schamel, presenting Ford's findings to the Vienna Motor Symposium. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release from Ford. Atieva is building an EV with the help of numerous former Tesla employees. The Silicon Valley-based startup was founded in 2007 by a former Tesla vice president, and its roster includes 12 other former Tesla employees. Already well funded, Atieva is now looking to fill its ranks with more talent, with 32 engineering positions, two recruiter positions and other job openings posted at its website. As for the EV it is working on, Atieva says it is "redefining what a car can be, by building an iconic new vehicle from the ground up." Read more at Charged EVs. Testing shows that Joule ethanol, made from recycled CO2, meets standards for use in the US and Europe. In partnership with Audi, Joule has been working toward making its recycled CO2 fuels ready for commercialization. "We are pleased to achieve another critical step towards our planned near-term delivery of fuel-grade ethanol from recycled CO2," says Joule President and CEO Serge Tchuruk. "Using waste CO2 as a feedstock, our technology has the two-fold advantage of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cost-competitive, drop-in fuels." Joule will use these test results to get government approval for the use of its ethanol in highway fuel.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
Watch how Ken Block spent his weekend in Barbados
Thu, 22 May 2014Regardless of what you think of his skill as a racer, Ken Block is an expert showman. At this point, he has a career of showing up around the world to do vehicular stunts, and he's still able to go racing as well. It's a pretty sweet niche to carve out. Recently, Block was in Barbados to participate in Top Gear Live and the first event of the Global Rallycross Championship season, and Ford Racing produced a short video to show off his exploits.
It looked like a great show. Block got to race Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz Formula One car and had a very weird crash during a Rallycross race that put his Ford Fiesta on its roof. Top Gear also released an extended look at Block and Hamilton's spectacle with the two of them expertly sliding around. Scroll down to watch the videos and get a taste of Block's tropical racing adventure.
