For sale is our 1965 Ford Galaxie XL Convertible. It has a 390 Big Block engine with an Autolite Carburetor. This has been ours for over 21 years, but we no longer have room for this big car. We used to drive it all the time( of course in Oregon that means about 4 months a year).Then about 5 years ago we had to move it to a different storage place and just never drove it much after that.. It has been lightly customized. The door knobs are shaved and it has rear wheel skirts and non functional Lake Pipes.It also has a design on both sides. It is a navy blue with a light metallic and the interior is a powder blue. The interior seat covers are in good condition. I don't know about the foam pads underneath. It has 4 Tru Spoke wire wheels. Some have some rust on them.You might be able to use steel wool to get it off.This car had an old restoration before I bought it . There are places where I can see that underneath the paint something is bubbling,but nothing has broken thru and you have to look to see them. .The trunk is a slightly different shade of Navy. Overall this is a great car. Just the old restoration needs to be redone, or you can easily just drive it and enjoy it the way it is. Just remember that it has not been driven regularly in the last 5 years We had the engine rebuilt in 1998. We have a number of receipts for repairs and upgrading parts. The speedometer reads 53,798. We took off the top of windshield inside chrome and rechromed it and have set it somewhere yet to be found. But its somewhere! Also the dash, top switch needs to be replaced. We recently had the Autolite Carburetor rebuilt. The car has a clear Title. If you have any questions please feel free to call Bill at 503-706-2760. Buyer is responsible for picking up the car within 2 weeks..Winning bidder is expected to make a $2000 down payment or deposit if not able to pay full amount immediately when auction ends: and make full payment within 5 business days after auction ends. Please contact Seller when auction ends to make arrangements if necessary. CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO RETURNS..THANKS FOR LOOKING

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
