Up for auction is an original 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD hard top. The car has a very good running 390 4BBL equipped with A/C and power steering. The car runs and drives excellent, the engine has had a recent tune up, carburetor rebuilt, original Cruise-O-Matic transmission rebuilt, and the exhaust shortened to exit just behind the rear wheels on each side rather that straight out of the rear as seen in a couple of the pictures. The car was dyno tuned after all of this work was performed, the 390 produced 349.7 ftlb of torque and 229.7 Hp @ 4050 RPM (see dyno sheet in photos). Front and rear shocks, belts and hoses have all been replaced within the past year. The undercarriage of this car is very solid, there is surface rust in areas that the paint has worn thin and chipped off but nothing that will require any major work. The trunk has surface rust as well, very solid. The rear quarter panels should be replaced, the rust is through in one area of the drivers side but the main structure of the wheel well is fully intact. Some of the chrome trim has pits but is straight and complete. The interior is original with the exception of the carpet, it is a high quality replacement. There is one seam that is split on the driver side top of the seat back, the original color has faded on the tops of the seats as well. The steering wheel has a couple of cracks, and the part of the dash above the gauges has warped and cracked it does look good with a dash mat over it though. This car is stored indoors and driven in good weather, it always starts runs well and draws a crowd wherever it goes, it is a lot of fun to drive. We have enjoyed taking it to many local shows and rod runs, it is ready to be driven wherever it needs to go with confidence. We will require a $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of the auction closing, the balance due upon pickup or prior to. The car needs to be picked up here locally within seven days of auction close unless other arrangements are made. We can help with loading the car, or provide a ride from the airport. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 303-594-0670.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Ford bondage ads reportedly trigger firings at Indian ad agency

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

You will probably remember the ads for the Ford Figo hatchback in India, the ones that showcased the extra large boot of the little hatchback by joking that you can fit three of your enemies in the trunk. One of the ads had Michael Schumacher in the front seat, obviously pleased about having Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso tied up in the back. But the other two had Paris Hilton and ex-Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi up front and three bound and gagged women in the back - in Hilton's case (shown above), it was the Kardashians.
This did not go over well, and Reuters reports that certain employees at JWT India have been fired over the matter. It is also reported that the images weren't actual advertisements, nor were they part of an actual campaign; JWT said they "were never intended for paid publication, were never requested by our Ford client." A JWT rep said the employees who created the ads did so on their own, Ford commented to Automotive News that the ads were "part of a creative exercise intended to test concepts for an advertising competition."
The problem, if the story is to be believed, is that the employees skipped the regular review protocols and uploaded their work to an ad industry site - they were found on Ads of the World. That page, like the employees, has been removed.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
