I have a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500. I restored it over the winter. It has a 352 Big Block(not original), with a 2 barrel carburetor and a Cruise-O-Matic transmission. Power steering and power brakes. It's column shifted. She runs and drives beautifully and last year she was my daily driver. All the lights, tail lights, and blinkers work.

The brakes are good, tires are REALLY good(about 80-85% tread left). The tranny shifts great. No leaks from anywhere, but the power steering pump is a little whiny. I'm slowly building ambition to put a new one on it. The paint is fresh, but it's not great. It's good, but there is some slight orange peel.

All of the rust has been cut out and I welded in new sheet metal. The wheels and bumpers have been powder coated. The seats were reupholstered less than 3 months ago. The dash was repainted. New carpet. New headliner. The door panels are the ones I got with the car, they're not original. The armrests are still the original brown. The steering wheel is obviously not original, it's a classic Grant wheel I believe. It just makes it feel like you're driving an old hot rod. I disconnected the horn because I absolutely hate the sound of them.

The grille and rear fascia trim were painted black, it gives the car a really nice and aggressive look. I do have the rest of the trim the goes on the wheel wells and on the bottoms behind the rear wheels. All the gauges, dummy lights, air/heat, defrost, wipers, emergency brake, and dome light(I unpugged that though) work. I also bought a new USA-230 Radio for it and a kick panel kit that has speakers in them.

I also pulled the rear window to put a new seal in it and tint the window(5%) and the side windows have 35% tint on them.

There are exactly 4 things this car doesn't have to make it considered completely restored.

1. A trim piece that goes inside behind the rear seat at the bottom of the headliner. All it does is cover the bottom of the headliner where it attaches to the hooks.

2. A trim piece that goes along the bottom sides of the front seat to hide a couple brackets.

3. I don't have a lens for the dome light. It's just the bulb.

4. There is no gas pedal. Just the arm for it. It honestly never bothered me, but I know it should have lol

I am negotiable on the price. It's not firm at all. I am also interested in trading for a Harley, preferably a softail or bagger. I would also do a half trade/half cash. Let me know what you got or any questions. I'm pretty sure I included everything. I DO have a clean title for it. Feel free to call, text, or email day or night. Thanks for looking!

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.

Enterprise working with renter's insurance to cover $47k Mustang stolen from its lot

Sat, 11 Jan 2014

There was more than a bit of public indigence following the recent story of Enterprise Rent-A-Car billing a customer $47,000 to replace a Ford Mustang GT Convertible stolen from a Nova Scotia lot. To recap: Kristen Cockerill rented the Mustang for two days, returned it to the lot on a Sunday and left the keys in a secure dropbox only for Enterprise employees to find the car gone the next day.
Despite Enterprise policies stating that customers are responsible for vehicles dropped on off-days, the company has admitted that the situation could've been handled a bit better.
In a recent statement, Enterprise has backed off the big-bill story, and claims to be working with Cockerill and her insurance company to resolve the issue. Further, the Enterprise general manager overseeing Nova Scotia has spoken with the harried renter, and apologized "for the way this claim was handled during the last few months."
