1965 Ford Galaxie Red on 2040-cars

Yonkers, New York, United States

This awesome Galaxie 500 has been professionally re-formed into a mildly modified 100% street legal muscle car.  A few modifications have been added. She was built and dressed as a 427ci p engine with mid-rise 427ci 425hp heads and manifold, dual Ford aluminum quad intake with two, new Holley 600cfm carburetors. A 427ci solid lifter cam & a dual point distributor from a 63 1/2 Ford.  The car is equipped with an MSD electronic ignition and cooled by a high capacity radiator.  The car runs at a perfect 185 degrees.  Hooker Competition Headers and dual Flow Masters add to the fun!  
Behind the 425hp engine is a very strong and brand new, all steel Borg Warner T-10 4 speed transmission with a HURST shifter and heavy duty drive shaft.  New heavy duty clutch & clutch plate was also replaced recently.  The rear axle assembly is a Detroit Locker with Richmond 4.10 gears and 31 Spline axles in a Ford 9" nodular casing.  
A competition engineered custom 4-foot ladder bar has been added to the rear suspension along with all chrome Molley rounded tubing, cross-members, supports, new springs and air shocks to add to the incredible performance of this car.  To top it all off, a fiberglass Thunderbolt hood has been added.  The level of workmanship on this car is amazing from top to bottom.  Every inch of this restoration has been thought out to the last detail and it shows. Although a true performance package has been added to this Galaxie 500, it is still a very tame street cruiser when you want it to be.  Long drives are a pleasure.  
 
With all the Engine Talk out of the way, this car still retains alot of its originality as well.  The body is 100% rust free and all steel.  No bondo.  It was originally bought in FlagStaff Arizona until it was brought to NY in 2008.  The car has been beautifully refinished in its original Rangoon Red and is nearly perfect as is the chrome and trim.  The interior is incredible and has all new red rolled upholstery and headliner. All safety equipment such as headlamps, brake lights and signals work properly.  The heater, gauges and odometer work as they should. The speedometer is not working.  Windows roll up & down easily.   This is a factory RADIO DELETE car.  Mileage reads 76000 which is correct.  

She rides on 16" period correct American Racing Torque Thrust rims on 4 new Falken Tires... 225/60s in the front and 235/60 in the rear.
Overall, in our opinion, this is a solid, much better than average #2++  car that is 100% roadworthy, safe and completely reliable.  it is a car that was plentiful in its day but is rarely seen today, especially at this level and condition.  Feel free to ask questions. Road tests are welcome.  If youd like to fly in and see her, we will pick you up at any local NY airport. 
                      YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Ford sells 7-millionth Explorer in America

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.

Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.

Ford family keeps special voting rights

Fri, 10 May 2013

Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.
