1960 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible on 2040-cars
Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
|
Born in California, raised in Vegas and brought to Michigan to be reborn as a show car, which has been very successful. It has achieved best in show awards and many trophys, including Good Guys. It is not only handsome in every detail, but also a comfortable fun driver. The odometer reads 47,635 believed to be correct. The color is base clear Guards Red. The interior is Pearl White, it's even cool in the sun. The chrome is replated , with cu. ni. ch. and the aluminum reanodised. The stainless has been refurbished and polished. The engine is the FE 352, 4V, 300 HP The transmission is a smooth shifting standard , with over drive, which makes it a interstate cruiser. The brakes are drum. The steering is original. The tires are radial. The exhaust is dual, with glass pac's and the extensios are 18" X 3 1/2" to produce a deep pleasant tone. The car is lowered 3", with air shocks to assist the rear, when needed. The lake pipes are decorative. The drivers door is keyless, activated by a key fob. The convertible top motor and lines, are new in 2013, with improved opperation. This has been the best car in my collection and hope it finds it's way to a home that will produce another friendship, as my previous cars have. Age has crept up on me, but I will keep my last car,a 49 Merc,as a driver. Direct questions to ebay, or my cell phone 616 485 8256. I will require 10% payment to pay Pal with in 48 hours of purchase and the balance as cash,or a bank transfer at pick up. Good Luck bidding Tom |

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012
Tue, 09 Apr 2013Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
