1965 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan, Customized, Lowered,california Car Driven Daily on 2040-cars
Up for consideration is my 1965 Ford Country Sedan that has been customized. This was a California car all it's life until I bought it.
The car has been lowered, door handles shaved, bodywork and paint and custom pinstriping were done in CA. I have redone the mechanicals ( new brakes, tires, shocks, exhaust system, tune up/ fluids, new wiper motor, new fan motor, rebuilt carb, rad flush, etc.) and installed a new custom interior and automatic door poppers on the front doors with hidden switches. This is a fabulous highway cruising car and I have used it for work projects out of town and out of state, taken it to antique car swap meets in different states to load up parts for our collection of cars, picked up replated bumpers and loaded the car with tires from Coker Tire in TN to bring back home etc. As you can see, it is not a show car but a very cool, unusual and practical fun car. v8, auto, ps, pb and that is it. Currently shows under 65000 miles ( I have put over 20,000. miles on the car ) and I believe it is original since there is no rust on the car and based on the wear. The rear electric window in the tailgate works well. The car could use new weatherstripping all around and if you wanted to install a stereo you could ( it has the original AM radio ) but I don't listen to the radio when I drive so it never bothered me. As this is a 49 year old used car it is being sold as/ is, with no warranties. If you want photos of something not showing, or have questions, or want to see/ drive the car, just email. I would have no hesitation driving this car across the country anytime. As I said, I take it on long road trips and it has never had a problem with me. I collect old Pontiac's and this is the only non-Pontiac car in my collection ( not counting the old cars my wife has) so I am redoing an old Pontiac wagon in the same style as this Ford which is the only reason I am putting this up for sale. |

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.
