This is a true "barn find" virgin 1966 Ford Galaxy 2 door hard top. The car is complete but not running or driving. It is all original except for the Hurst floor shifter and radio but needs a complete restoration. It has minor body damage, dents and dings and there is rust in the right rear floor pan, bottom of the right rear quarter panel and some rust around the trunk rubber seal. The car is about 95% rust free other than surface rust. The car has a 289 V-8 with a 3 speed manual transmission. The engine spins free but I have not treied to start it. I had to free up the left front and rear wheels and now the car rolls fine. The door gasses, rear quarter glass and back glass are all good and the windshield is broken. I have put tires on the car, freed up the wheels, washed the inside and outside and made sure the engine spins over. The car was parked , under a tree in North Texas, running, around 98 or 99 and stayed there until I pulled it out this week.

The same North Texas family has owned the car and in 96 was transferred from the parents to the son. It comes with a clear Texas title and I have keys to the car. The ignition switch still works and the doors and trunk still lock.

I took pictures of everything I could and will be glad to show the car in Garland, Tx

1947 Chevy rat rod pickup leaves rubber and smoke in its wake

Thu, 08 May 2014

Cool comes in multiple flavors. One one hand, we have the sophisticated attraction of svelte design and the efficient use of power. Of course, on the other hand there is the allure of being the bad boy and going against the grain. That is part of the appeal of rat rods. Ideally, they are built without rules to an owner's specific tastes, and this widened and heavily modified 1947 Chevrolet pickup rod is a perfect example of that spirit.
Coming down the highway with a bent grille, rusted body and pouring smoke, it looks like the pickup from hell. It backs up the looks with some very impressive mechanicals too. Owner Troy Gubser says that the truck packs a Ford Power Stroke diesel with to 42 pounds of boost that runs out of 8-inch exhaust stacks at the back. He claims it managed 505 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque on the dyno. To harness all that power, this hot rod has a ZF five-speed manual gearbox with a ceramic clutch and short-throw shifter. Plus, it has cool little features like a doorbell on the tailgate that operates an air horn.
You might not expect a truck like this to actually be useful, but it has a fifth wheel coupling to haul an RV around drag races and car shows. The air suspension also probably keeps the ride fairly comfy when Gubser wants it to be. Scroll down to check out this beastly rat rod pickup and watch it engage in some diesel drag racing. Warning, there is some NSFW language.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
