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

Ford honors Chinese Year of the Horse with Vaughn Gittin Jr., Mustang video
Fri, Feb 27 2015Calendar years and fiscal years tend to be the only timetables automakers concern themselves with, but that doesn't mean there isn't recognition of other measures of time. Ford has opted to observe the Chinese zodiac, largely because the Year of the Horse ended just last week. That's fortuitous timing, considering the first Ford Mustangs were making their way towards the People's Republic as celebrations were carrying on. To recognize this fact, and the end of the Year of the Horse, Ford recruited drift king Vaughn Gittin, Jr., to take a 2015 Mustang GT to the streets of Ordos City, in north-central China. It's not as dramatic as some of Ford's recent videos, like the one starring Ken Block and the Ford Focus RS, but it's pretty cool all the same. Take a look.

Ford F-100 'Snakebit' shown off by Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed at SEMA
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford, along with KISS bassist Gene Simmons and his wife, Shannon Tweed, used SEMA as a backdrop to pull the covers off Snakebit, a 1956 Ford F-100 pickup truck that's been updated with Shelby Mustang-derived styling bits and a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 engine. All 550 horsepower are funneled through a six-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels.
Underneath the custom bodywork sits a chassis that's been stretched five inches and a bed widened and bedecked with billet machined pieces that are supposed to look like wood. The 20-inch rear and 18-inch front wheels ape those of past Shelby Mustang models. The interior is swathed in two-tone leather with a bench seat designed to look - try to act surprised - like a Shelby Mustang.
Like what you see? Bidding for the truck will take place in 2014 at an unspecified Barrett-Jackson event (we'd assume Scottsdale). Proceeds will be used to help build a children's hospital in Saskatoon, in the province of Saskatchewan, where Ms. Tweed grew up. See the high-res gallery above and the press release down below for more.
These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
