VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 

VEHICLE HISTORY:   This 52 year old survivor was purchased new in 1962 by the current owner’s father.  Since he lived in Florida he ordered it with the heater deleted and saved $75.10.  He did splurge on power steering, tinted windshield, and an AM radio for a total sticker price of $3,652!    When he passed away in 1978 his son inherited his Dad’s sporty cruiser.  It has resided in Ohio for the past 36 years and only driven 6,000 miles in that time.  He doesn’t have the time to drive it anymore.  So it is time for a new owner to enjoy “as is” or do a restoration on this very solid 1962 survivor. 

MARQUE HISTORY:  In 1962 Ford applied the Galaxie model name to all full size cars and completely restyled the model line.  The cars looked cleaner and the fins were gone.  The Galaxie 500XL series was new for 1962, and was the top of the line, sporty series of the Galaxie line.  There were only two models of the 500XL, the Club Victoria (hardtop) and the Sunliner (convertible). 

SPECIFICATIONS:  Interceptor V8 Engine, 352CI, 220HP, OHV, Cast Iron Block, 4.00” Bore X 3.50” Stroke, 5-Main Bearings, 2-BBL Holley Carburetor, 8.9:1 Compression, 3-Speed Cruise-O-Matic Transmission, 119” Wheelbase, 209” O/A Length, 3782 Pound Curb Weight, 20 Gallon Fuel Tank, Power Steering, 11” Drum Brakes. 

FEATURES:  Chrome Windshield Moldings, Chrome “A” Pillar Moldings, Chrome Window Moldings, Chrome Rear Window Moldings, Chrome Rocker Panel Moldings, 2-Sun Visors, Chrome Horn Ring, Arm Rests, Bucket Seats, Floor Mounted Shift Lever, Console, Engine Turned Instrument Panel Insert, Back-Up Lights, Clock. 

OPTIONS:   Thunderbird 352CI 2-BBL Special V8, 800X14 WSW Tires, Power Steering, Push Button Radio, Tinted Windshield, Padded Dash & Visors.

VEHICLE CONDITION:  

We do a mechanical and cosmetic inspection to each vehicle before listing it for sale.  This report is included below will provide a reasonable description of the vehicle condition.  Older vehicles are subject to normal wear and tear and we have tried to indicate the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of our ability.  But, we can not always find everything that is not perfect with a vehicle, so independent inspections are welcome and encouraged.  We drive each vehicle approximately 20 miles, but this is no indication of its long term road-worthiness.  The only guarantee with an older vehicle is that someplace, sometime, something will need repaired!

Ford confirms launch of new Tourneo vans and Ecosport in Europe for Geneva

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

We've already seen plenty of what the Geneva Motor Show will have in store for us in less than two weeks, but most of the confirmed debuts that were announced so far have generally been luxury or performance cars. Ford, on the other hand, will be showing off a couple of its new family-friendly models for European buyers to enjoy.
On the larger side of things, the full range of Tourneo vans (shown above) will be on display, including the introduction of the new Tourneo Courier model, but Ford will also be showing off the all-new EcoSport crossover, which is based on the automaker's Global B platform and will be positioned beneath the Kuga, better known here as the Escape. The subcompact EcoSport was originally unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show last April.

New York Mets outfielder turns spring training into his personal car show

Wed, Feb 24 2016

New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is known for his wide range of talents. He can hit for power, average, has good speed, and is solid in the field. His car collection is equally versatile and diverse, and it's been on display this week at spring training. Every day has brought a different car, and it has his teammates and the media atwitter. Cespedes rolled up Wednesday to the Mets facility in Port St. Lucie in a Lamborghini Aventador. It's black with blue trim. Anthony DiComo with MLB.com tweeted this: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. ESPN's Darren Rovell tweeted the Lambo has a custom exhaust that cost $80,000 and shoots out flames. Of course, that's already old news. His Alfa Romeo showed up today, too. Apparently Mets infielder Wilmer Flores has been driving it. That's an ultra-rare 8C Competizione, brought to you by Robert Brender of SNY.TV. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The Italian delights are stunning, but his Tuesday arrival was arguably the craziest: a Polaris Slingshot. DiComo captured this. It's customized with gaudy wire wheels, red accents, and Cespedes' No. 52 on the hood. Subtle. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Only in this fleet would Monday's ride appear pedestrian. It was 'only' an F-250. It was raised on huge wheels, had a custom grille, and towered over that Maserati behind it. Jon Santucci of Scripps newspapers observed it. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. At this rate, we should probably skip Geneva and get credentialed for Mets spring training. Cespedes signed a three-year $75-million contract with the Mets in the off-season. He's also played for the Oakland Athletics, Boston Red Sox, and Detroit Tigers. Related Video: Image Credit: Getty Images Celebrities Design/Style Ford Lamborghini Performance baseball

2020 Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair ace crash tests, earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS

Fri, Nov 15 2019

The redesigned 2020 Ford Escape and its platform-mate, the 2020 Lincoln Corsair, have both just completed their bout of crash tests at the hands of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and while they did not emerge unscathed, they did come away with the agency's Top Safety Pick Award. One caveat: The rating only applies to the Escape equipped with the available LED headlights, which were deemed Acceptable. Similarly, the Corsair needs the available curve-adaptive LED headlights, also rated Acceptable, in order to achieve Top Safety Pick. The Escape's standard halogen headlights scored only a Marginal rating, while the Corsair's base LED headlights were deemed Poor due to glare. Those low headlight ratings knock the vehicles out of contention for Top Safety Pick. Had either vehicle offered headlights able to achieve a Good rating, that would have been enough to get them the agency's Top Safety Pick+ rating. Outside of their headlights, the 2020 Escape and Corsair acquitted themselves well. The Escape saw a big improvement in the difficult small-overlap front crash test, going from a Poor result in the previous generation to Good with the new one. The Corsair performed identically, and both achieved Good ratings in all six crash tests. The IIHS also tests automatic emergency-braking systems, and the standard and optional systems in the Escape and the Corsair both earned Superior ratings.
