1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Custom California Classic Hot Rod Station Wagon on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan station wagon. This is a restored car with a completely professionally rebuilt 302 V8 and new AOD Automatic Overdrive Transmission with about 10,000 miles on the car since restoration. The 302 has a 2 bbl carb, runs strong and sounds great with the headers and side pipes. The AOD transmission is a really nice modern touch for this classic and we kept the shifter on the column. Radiator is new and this car will run all day in the summer without overheating. There's a nice temp gage installed under the dash. I get more thumbs up on the highway from this than any other car I've had. You just don't find these in this shape anymore without rust.
The paint is about 3 years old. There's no rust on this car anywhere. I included photos of the spare tire chamber and the area forward of the spare under the bed where you can see the original red paint and no rust damage. Vintage Cragar Keystone mag wheels. The rear wheel skirts were painted to match and are included with the car. I like the look without them but they can be put on easily. The molding, emblems and trim pieces are in really nice shape. All the doors and windows open and close as they should. The front bumper was re-chromed but all the other trim has its original patina. Grille is straight without any damage. Engine compartment was also restored and has a clean look. There's lots to show off on this car. Dash is original, not cut and painted to match the top as are the rest of the interior trim pieces. Rare electric window in the tailgate works great using the toggle switch on the dash. Floors were painted black and there is no rust. Seat covers are original. You can finish the interior to your taste or leave it as is. I have the headliner bows and they go with the car. All of the glass is original Ford Motor Co. script glass. Title is clear, in my name and there are no hidden DMV fees. Everything is current. Neat old classic wagon that was done right with style and can be driven home anywhere.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
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.
