1962 Ford Galaxie 2-Door Club Sedan

For sale is an ALL ORIGINAL and COMPLETE 1962 Ford Galaxie that would be a great candidate for a full restoration. Don't want to send this to the crusher. Originally Raven Black exterior with Gray and Turquoise interior (based on data plate which is still on the car).

Vehicle does not have a title, but will provide Bill of Sale.

Odometer shows 1,614.

Car is not in running condition now and it is not known when it last ran. Has been sitting for a number of years. But the original 223 inline 6 cylinder engine and seemingly all its components, including Holly carburetor, are all there, ready to be brought back to life. Dipstick indicated engine still has oil in the pan.

Interior will need restoration as well of course. Front seats are there, rear seat is long gone. Rust in floor is actually not as bad as many others I've seen. See photos.

3-Speed "On the Tree" Manual Transmission - Condition unknown.

Will need new tires but the ones on it now will pump and hold air long enough for you to get it on to a trailer.

Dashboard looks like all the original stuff is there, and someone added Amperage and Oil Pressure gauges at some point. Radio still there. Glovebox is gone.

Mostly surface rust on exterior - body is pretty solid for the most part.

Most of the aluminium trim seems to be there - it's all been removed from the car and is in the trunk, with a few pieces laying in the front seat (including original horn button).

Has that wonderful, distinct old car interior smell.

If you're looking for a good restoration project this old girl is calling your name! Would be a great flip for a collector car dealer, or a nice father/son project to anyone with basic restoration knowledge.

Feel free to contact me about coming to see it in person. Vehicle is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.

If you have any questions or concerns at all, PLEASE ASK BEFORE BIDDING!

Being sold AS-IS with no warranties. No refunds or returns.

Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.

Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.

2015 Ford F-150 enters production

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Ford has given the F-150 a dramatic makeover for 2015, switching to an aluminum body that helps reduce weight by about 700 pounds. Because the truck is dramatically different, Ford also had to change the way it makes the F-150, so we went inside its sprawling factory in Dearborn, MI, this week to see the Blue Oval's new manufacturing techniques in action.
The company has added 850 jobs at the site and upgraded its stamping and tool and die facilities. The body shop is also modernized, and it has been fitted with 500 new robots that join the structures together. The first 2015 F-150 rolled off the line on Tuesday, and the trucks will begin arriving in dealerships in December. Get a closer look at the F-150's unique assembly process in our video.
