1962 Ford Galaxie Convertible on 2040-cars
Waynesboro, Tennessee, United States
|
1962 Ford Galaxie Sunliner, which is a convertible. Has had some body work done by amateur, a bit rough. Needs paint. Has a good running V8, probably the 352 but could be a 390, has a 2 barrel carb so I am guessing 352 because of year of car. Has a center console and stick shift automatic trans, bucket seats but I don't think they are original, so this may be an XL Sunliner, but probably not and someone added a console to make it a clone and lost interest. Shifter works, but needs adjustment. Engine runs very well, the brakes work, it does stop but needs adjusting, maybe shoes. Does drive and shifts well, but trans has slow leak. This car has an x frame chassis, what I can see looks solid, and car sits level. Tires dry rotting from sitting but hold air for a couple of weeks or longer. I bought a new top for it when I bought it 6 years ago, it is still in the box,in the trunk. Also rear quarter sheet metal for 1 side. Full set of decent hub caps, correct originals, and good set of skirts. I start up, and then drive this car a little at least once every 2 months. I bought this car about 6 years ago, intending to restore it. I replaced the dashboard, and the one I put in looks new. And then I lost interest. The windshield has a score in it from wiper blade, otherwise clear. All the side trim is gone, and at least one fender has been replaced. The rear quarters are rusted out, and there are small holes in trunk. Floor pans were apparently replaced by amateur, and are heavy sheet metal screwed down. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I am selling it as is, where is. Buyer pays shipping. True mileage is anybody's guess, this car is 52 years old !! I do have a clear Tennessee title. |

Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
