 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

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.

How tariffs in China could cause a meltdown in the American South

Sun, Aug 25 2019

While BMW is clearly a German company, the crossovers that are exceedingly important to it are actually made in Spartanburg, South Carolina. And more than that, the Spartanburg plant (physically located in the town of Greer) is where the corporate know-how and capability for those vehicles is concentrated. These are the vehicles – specifically, the BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 – that drove record growth for the company in 2018, according to BMW. But whatÂ’s most notable about BMW Group Plant Spartanburg, given current events, is that according to the U.S. Department of Commerce it was the largest automotive exporter by value for the fifth year running in 2018. ThatÂ’s worth emphasizing: largest automotive exporter by value. Not GM. Not Ford. BMW. And where might one assume that more than a few of those X vehicles are shipped to? China. Some 360 miles southwest of Spartanburg is Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc., in in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. It started building vehicles in 1997. Since then, Daimler AG has invested in excess of $5.5 billion in the facility. It manufactures the crossover now known as the GLE, formerly the ML-Class. It also makes the GLE coupe and GLS. Daimler describes the Tuscaloosa facility as “the traditional home of SUV production” for those vehicles. When it reported its global 2018 sales, Daimler noted that on a global basis SUVs account “for more than a third of all Mercedes-Benz sales.” According to the Chinese finance ministry, on December 15th the Chinese government will impose a 25% tariff on automobiles (and a 5% tariff on auto parts) from the U.S. Certainly this is going to have a direct effect on the sales of vehicles that are manufactured in the U.S. and exported to China. BMW and Mercedes are going to take it on the chin for the vehicles that they make in plants that they invested in so heavily in the U.S. Which could potentially mean that people in places like Greer, South Carolina, and Vance, Alabama, are going to find themselves in the crosshairs of the combatants. Soo too could Lincoln, which produces vehicles in places like Louisville, Kentucky (Navigator), Chicago, Illinois (Aviator) and Flat Rock, Michigan (Continental). Although the Tesla Gigafactory 3 is rapidly nearing completion in Shanghai, it is worth noting that vehicles built in Fremont, California, are being sold in China in numbers that donÂ’t make Musk unhappy.

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax

Thu, Jan 22 2015

From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.
