1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2dr 302 T5 Air Ride Bagged Lowered Old School Galaxy on 2040-cars

I'm reluctantly selling my 1962 Ford Galaxie. I don't have the space to keep it, nor the time or resources to improve it and give it the good life it deserves.
It's a great car that I'd drive anywhere and have put a ton of trouble-free miles on. Details: Engine/trans.: Rebuilt roller cam 302 and world class Mustang T5. Engine has about 20-25k miles on rebuild. Has Trickflow Stage 1 roller cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Edelbrock 600 carb w/ electric choke. Mustang shorty headers, 2-1/2" exhaust w/ H-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers. Factory 9" rear w/ 3.70 gears. Gets 20-21 mpg on the highway. Slight driveline vibration over 65 mph that I believe may be caused by a bent axle. The reason I think this is the fact that I've put three left axle bearings in the car during the past 50k miles. I had planned on replacing the left axle, just haven't gotten to it yet. Suspension: RideTech airbag system. Airbags front and rear with electronic 4-way control. Front bags replaced coil springs, shocks relocated behind A-arms. Front suspension was completely rebuilt about 30k miles ago, including the steering box. Front spindles are Ford Granada with disc brakes - less than 5k miles on front brake components. Master cylinder is a disc/drum unit, also from a Ford Granada. Manual brakes, manual steering. Rear is factory leaf springs with two leaves removed on each side, 2" lowering blocks installed, and 'helper' type airbags installed. Compressor, air tank, valves, and pressure sending units are all mounted in the trunk. Wheels/tires: Wheels are chrome OEM type with WWW radial tires. Tires have approximately 5k miles on them. Body: Floor and trunk floor are solid. Exterior is showing rust in a few spots. I had fixed some rust spots eight years ago and they are showing again. The repairs never got sealed up on the backside, so moisture has crept through and the spots need repaired again. None of it is major, but worth mentioning -- See Photos. Primer/sealer is a PPG custom mix, applied eight years ago. Roof candy/flake/clear was done about seven years ago. Bumpers were rechromed about six years and are in very good condition. The rest of the chrome/trim on the car is in good driver condition. Interior/Glass: Mostly original. The carpet is the only thing that has been replaced - done about eight years ago. Front seat could be recovered and have some of the foam replaced. I consider the rest of the interior to be in good driver-quality condition. Windshield and seal were replaced about seven years ago. Windshield has a small crack in it - not bad, not in driver's sight-line. Passenger door glass has slight cloudiness, the rest of the glass is in good condition. CD stereo in glovebox with remote and four speakers. I have explained everything to the best of my knowledge and the car is sold as-is. I love driving this car and would love to keep it, but I can't. It's time for someone else to enjoy it. |

Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world
Sat, Jul 11 2015The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.
Is Tesla's next project an F-150 competitor? [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013What's the future look like for Tesla after it launches the Model X CUV and possibly a smaller, sub-Model S sedan? Would you believe a pickup truck? Yes, Tesla could be looking to use its EV know-how to take the fight to Ford and the F-150, based on comments made by company founder Elon Musk.
"If you're trying to replace the most gasoline miles driven, you have to look at what people are buying," Musk said during an impromptu Q&A session following a speech at Business Insider's Ignition conference. "[The F-150 is] the best selling car in America. If people are voting that's their car, then that's the car we have to deliver."
And while the idea of electric pickup may sound kind of absurd to some, Musk makes a very valid point - if Tesla's goal is to replace gas miles with electrical miles, it simply can't afford to ignore pickups.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
