1966 Ford Custom 500 Galaxie 4 Door Sedan 289ci Automatic on 2040-cars
Morristown, Tennessee, United States
|
I have a 1966 Ford Galaxie, Custom 500, 4 door, Automatic with a 289ci motor. It could possibly be a 302ci. The VIN says it's a 289, but the air cleaner that came on it says 302 as you can see by the picture. I haven't checked. I bought this as a project car for my son, but neither of us have the money or time to put in to it. I hate to see it just sit around and deteriorate. When I bought it I had to have it towed to the house. However, I have since worked on it and it does run fair. It starts right up and will sit and idle and I can put it in gear and move it around as I need to. I currently have the gas tank unhooked from the fuel pump because I don't know how long it had been sitting. I put a new fuel pump on it and I I didn't want any bad gas to get into it. I just drop the fuel hose in a bottle or can of gas to move it where I need to. I DO NOT drive it out on the highway, but I can drive it up and down the street. I really hate to get rid of it, but my son needs a car he can drive on a daily basis. Not sure on the mileage reading. As you can see it says 24,438. Probably more like 124,438 or 224,438. There are several parts in the trunk. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you want a picture of something specific or want me to send you a video of it running or moving, just let me know. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

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.

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
Ford using robot drivers to test durability [w/video]
Sun, 16 Jun 2013In testing the durability of its upcoming fullsize Transit vans, Ford has begun using autonomous robotic technology to pilot vehicles through the punishing courses of its Michigan Proving Grounds test facility. The autonomous tech allows Ford to run more durability tests in a single day than it could with human drivers, as well as create even more challenging tests that wouldn't be safe to run with a human behind the wheel.
The technology being used was developed by Utah-based Autonomous Solutions, and isn't quite like the totally autonomous vehicles being developed by companies like Google and Audi for use out in the real world. Rather, Ford's autonomous test vehicles follow a pre-programmed course and their position is tracked via GPS and cameras that are being monitored from a central control room. Though the route is predetermined, the robotic control module operates the steering, acceleration and braking to keep the vehicle on course as it drives over broken concrete, cobblestones, metal grates, rough gravel, mud pits and oversize speed bumps.
Scroll down to watch the robotic drivers in action, though be warned that you're headed for disappointment if you expect to see a Centurion behind the wheel (nerd alert!). The setup looks more like a Mythbusters experiment than a scene from Battlestar Galactica.
