Up for sell is a running 2 door Galaxie with a 390, C6, and 9 inch rear with 3:00 gearing with 87,108 miles on the clock that I do believe to be fairly accurate. This was to be a project car, but I need the money to pay for school, more then I need the car right now.

The engine has a 4 barrel Edelbrock carb and an aluminum intake. I do not know the maker of the intake or the size of the carb. I cannot prove it but I am pretty sure the car had a 2 barrel carb from the factory. The interior is worn, but the person I bought it from placed new carpet in it as well as floor mats. I believe if it was cleaned it would look great. The front seats have tears in it, mostly on the driver’s seat. I think most; if not all of the large trip pieces are with the car. They are in pretty good shape accept for the wheel arch molding witch was slightly bent and dinged up when the previous owner removed them. The original wheel covers are included. There are some small trim pieces missing.

The car started life as a raven black car with a Wimbledon white top. Sometime later the top was painted black also. The only major rust issues on the exterior are on both rear wheel arches. Both have holes in them that have been patched by the previous owner with body filler. He had also started sanding the car to paint it when he sold it to me. The battery box is also a rust issue like most old vehicles. The radiator support has some holes that would need to be patched. The bottom of the trunk has rust as well as the lid where the latch is. The bumpers are also rusted and would need to be rechromed.

The car has four wheel manual drum brakes. The person I bought it from told me that he had just had them redone so they should be pretty new. The brake pedal in the car says power disk brake, so I do not know what is original. The car has power steering and A/C. The A/C compressor and a bracket where in a box in the trunk, when I got the car. I do not think it is a factory air car, but was added on later. There is also a chip in the windshield.

The car does run and can be driven onto a trailer. The car has aluminum wheels and the tires on it are in good shape. The lights all work as far as I can tell. Headlights, high beams, turn, brake, and the light inside the trunk works. I am not sure the fuel gauge works. The speedometer does move, but I have not driven it very far to tell how accurate it is, since it does not have a tag. The padded dash is torn up and a newer cover is placed over it that matches the carpet and the radio does not work.

Buyer is responsible for pick up, but can assist in loading. Cash or cashier check only. Pick up must be within 3 days of close of auction.

How that awesome Mustang R/C car chase vid was made

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

We've reported on a few R/C car chase videos in the past. One in particular that stands out as a favorite is Zach King's "The Cliché RC Action Chase." It featured a pair of Ford Mustang coupes racing through a cardboard city, plowing into outdoor patios and busting through construction zones. It was wonderfully creative and fun to watch, yet we know there was more to its creation than a bunch of guys fooling around with a camera one afternoon.
Turns out we were right, as evidenced by this video produced by Ford that takes us behind the scenes of Zach's creation. The young filmmaker explains why he chose the Mustang to star in his video, as well as how the cardboard sets were created, what equipment they used for shooting and what it was like when his video went viral. Ford found the young filmmaker and produced the followup as part of its Mustang Countdown video series, which will see a new video about the Mustang culture released every week until the original muscle car's anniversary on April 17, 2014.
Want to make an RC chase video of your own? Yeah, we do too. Watch the behind-the-scenes video below (you can refresh yourself on the mini feature film, too) before you get started.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Mercury Capri

Mon, Sep 19 2016

Ford has gotten a lot of use out of the Capri name in the United States. First, there was the Lincoln Capri in the 1950s, followed by the Ford Capri Mk1 (which was sold by Mercury dealers in the USA but never actually badged as a Mercury). Then came the 1979-1986 Mercury Capri, built on the very successful Fox Platform and essentially a clone of the Mustang. Finally, in 1991, the Australian Ford Capri came to the United States. Here is an example of this rare car that I spotted in a Northern California self-service yard not long ago. Mechanically speaking, the 1991-1994 Capri was a Mazda 323 under the skin, complete with a member of the same B-series engine family that went into such cars as the Miata and Ford Escort. So, for a few years in the early 1990s, car shoppers who wanted a sporty Mazda convertible could choose between a Miata and a Capri. The Capri had front-wheel-drive, but could be had with factory turbocharging. These cars were reliable and fun, but had a tough time competing with the Miata in the showroom battles. You'll see the occasional example now and then, but most of the 1991-1994 Capris have met the same fate that awaits this one. Related Video:
