You are bidding on a 1962 ford galaxie 500 2 door hardtop. Originally a white on red car with a 352 and cruisomatic. Car was built in Los Angeles, CA. From what I've been told from the previous owner, it now has a later 390 ford big block with a cruisomatic trans. Motor runs great and trans shifts good. Chrome headers, 2 1/2" exhaust with flowmasters. Interior is very nice. The car needs minor body work and paint, the floors are solid. The only signs of notable rust are in a lip under the front roof and in two lower parts of the passenger rear wheel well and front driver's door, also under the chrome on the deck lid. No major rust issues. Looks like the roof has been repaired in places, but seems very solid to me. The front end will need to be looked at. The car drives straight, but there is a clunk when turning (possibly control arm bushings and a rag joint). The heater is not hooked up, but the fan works great. All electrical in very good shape. Not much to get this thing sturdy for the road. The car needs attention from someone who has time to finish it. I have some of the chrome trim off of the car right now and in total I have 98 percent of all the chrome for it that will go with the car. The car has new brakes and axle seals. I also have a new fuel pump for the car. Any questions, please feel free to contact me . 949 six zero 7- eight 6 seven 0. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time. Winning bidder is fully responsible for payment and shipping arrangements. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due within 48 hours of the final bid date. A cleared cashier's check or cash is my only acceptance of payment from the winning bidder. Good luck and happy bidding!

Last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible nets $500k for charity at Barrett-Jackson [w/video]
Tue, 13 Aug 2013The last 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible was sold on Saturday at a Barrett-Jackson auction in Reno, Nevada, for $500,000. Ford donated the Mustang to be auctioned for charity, and all of the money is going to the Brain Injury Association of America.
Parnelli Jones, winner of the 1963 Indianapolis 500, was there on behalf of the BIAA with his son Page, who suffered a brain injury in a sprint car crash in 1994. The bidding increased quickly, reaching $500k in no time, spreading a bit more hope to people who live with brain injuries.
The winning bidder will be able to choose the GT500's exterior, interior and stripe colors, and is scheduled to receive the car, signed by Parnelli Jones in appreciation for the donation, by the end of 2013. Watch the video below to see the auction-block action.
Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
