 This is a 1961 Ford Galaxie 4 door in good condition for what she is. We started working on her just over a year ago, but have not had the time to really devote. Started on the body work on the drivers side doors and have a new drivers front fender as the original one somehow got smashed up (I say somehow because this car is a TANK). Will need new tires and a new tranny, motor is fine. We have bled the breaks a couple times and it seems that is something that will need to be done every once in a while unless you change those out, which was in my original plan for her. Will need new ignition switch as well - right now, we basically hot wire it to get her started, but when she's going, she sounds mean. Seats will need to be re-upholstered, but the back seat is in decent condition if you wanted to wait on that.

As for extras, here is what I have invested for her so far: full moon hubcaps, fender skirts, purple flake steering wheel, new carb (not sure if the hubby kept on or took back off, but I know we have it somewhere still), new drivers side front fender.

I removed most of the chrome from the outside of her because I wanted a cleaner look. The only body chrome line left is the one going down her fins - however, they are not in pristine condition, so I was constantly on the lookout for new ones of those also. The drivers outside handle - whoever had it before me apparently decided putting a screw right through the chrome was a brilliant idea, so while I still have it, it's not currently on the car.

This is my baby, but times are rough and I just don't have the time or money to resurrect Medusa to her glory...so my loss is your gain. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I have the title signed over from the previous owner, but never transferred it into my name. But it is a CLEAR title.

**This is a local pickup ONLY - I will not deliver or ship this car. I do not own a trailer and I will forewarn you that she is a BOAT so you will need a pretty big trailer for her to fit on**

10/27 - Realized I did not outright mention that the trunk lock has been shaved and I DO still have the gas cover plate. In the picture of the rear, you can see the gas cover does not have the chrome plate on it, but I still have that in my possession

United States drivers buying fewer Mexican-made cars

Tue, May 10 2016

Crossovers and pickup trucks are not only growing in market share, they're also more profitable than cars. A crossover on the same platform as a sedan retails for thousands more, despite similar components. It's one of the reasons we've seen automakers rapidly shifting production of their sedans and hatchbacks to Mexico, where cheap labor preserves the thin profit margins on these inexpensive vehicles. But as the market continues to shift in the United States, Mexico is getting burned by its lack of product diversity. The country's auto exports, which are heavy on cars, suffered a 16-percent drop last month, Automotive News reports. In total, year-over-year exports fell from 233,515 to 197,020 last month, while year-to-date exports are down by 7.4 percent, from 922,029 to 854,118. The number one culprit? America – which usually accounts for 75 percent of Mexico's exports – and its appetite for crossovers and pickup trucks bolstered by cheap gas prices. While Mexico does build some light truck models – AN specifically calls out the Ram 2500, Honda HR-V, GMC Sierra, and Toyota Tacoma as export leaders – the vast majority of vehicles rolling out of its factories are sedans and hatchbacks. In fact, the three biggest drops in Mexican exports came from companies whose south of the border factories only build cars – Ford (Fusion/Lincoln MKZ and Fiesta), Mazda (Mazda3), and Volkswagen (Golf and Jetta). Mexican Automotive Industry Association President Eduardo Solis told AN the export shortfall will likely be sorted out sooner rather than later, thanks to a pair of new factories – a Kia car factory and an Audi SUV plant – that are coming online by year's end. The two facilities will add around 100,000 vehicles to the country's export totals, which Solis said should leave the industry on the verge of breaking another export record in 2016. But how sustainable will these record-breaking years be? Slapping an "Hecho en Mexico" sticker on a new German SUV won't be enough to change the fact that Mexico's product mix is tilted too heavily towards body styles that are not growing in volume. Mexico's record-breaking export years probably aren't at an end, but we'd argue they're certainly under threat.

Watch this Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fly like an eagle [UPDATE]

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is a very capable truck right out of the box, but "capable" has never translated into "invincible." Just ask the owner of the machine in this video. In it, the driver gets frisky with an aggressive jump with plenty of speed on his hands. The result is enough air to make Vaughn Gittin Jr. blush. As always, it's not the launch that's painful, but the re-entry. Gravity eventually asserts its dominance over the $43,630 pickup in a big way, and when it comes crashing down, it does so with a vengeance.
The impact was hard enough to set off both the alarm and multiple airbags inside the cabin. It's unclear if anyone was injured in the stunt, but we certainly wouldn't be surprised to hear that was the case. You can check out the stunt in the video below, and remember, when in doubt, back out of the throttle. Be warned, there may be some explicit/NSFW language in the clip.
UPDATE: Second video added with an even better look at the jump added below.

Mulally to stay at Ford through end of 2014 at least

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Alan Mulally isn't going anywhere... at least not just yet. The CEO who helped turn around Ford Motor Company has been linked to the top job at tech behemoth Microsoft, leading to a flurry of rumors about potential successors. Those rumors, though, may have just been put to rest - at least for a little while.
Speaking to Edsel Ford II (great-grandson of company founder Henry Ford) at the unveiling of the new Mustang, Automotive News Europe confirmed that Mulally would stick around until the end of next year. "Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that's all I know," said Ford. "Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014."
Presuming that Edsel Ford is correct and that Microsoft isn't so hot on Mulally that it saves the position for him, it seems increasingly likely that the 68-year-old exec is more interested in continuing to work in Dearborn rather than in Redmond.
