I am not Ford man but I had to save this car. The previous owner was going to use it for a demolition derby. I couldn't stand to see a Galaxy 2dr fastback get smashed.

The car was originally a 289 with a 3 speed cruise-o-matic. I swapped out the 289 for a low milage Ford reman 302 (18K). I added a 4 barrel, edelbrock intake and brand new Edelbrock 650 carb. The sale will include the original 289 motor and tranny to take it back to original, if you prefer.

This car is not a rust bucket like most. It is rusted in the rear body mounts. floor pans are good, just rust pin hole in passenger side. This is indicated in the pics. quarters are pretty sold, not totally rust like most. rocker are ok also. one hole in the drivers side rocker. trunk is solid except for body mount.

The front windshield is cracked but all the other glass is good, not faded or discolored.

Has factory power steering.

Interior is rough and in need of total restoration. Carpet and headliner are gone, but the rest is there. seats are torn and dash is cracked. Gauges all seem to work.

I only took a few pics. I thought I would let buyers request pics as you want.

A tree fell on the hood so it will probably need a new skin. See in pics.

I do have the hood I just haven't put it back on since engine swap.

That is about all I can think of for now. I have tried to explain the car as best I can so let me know what information you need.

A 500 dollar deposit is do via paypal within 24 hours of successful bid. the remaining amount is do in cash on day of pickup or within 4days of auction end via cashiers check.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs. The car runs and drives nice so it can be loaded easily, i prefer no International bidding.

Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival

Sun, 14 Sep 2014

To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
