1966 Galaxie 500 on 2040-cars
Cornelius, North Carolina, United States
Up for sale today is an excellent Galaxie 500 2 door. This is the most popular year for the Galaxie. This car has been well taken car of by the owner. If you are looking for a hot rod you can drive and NOT fix daily this car is it. The car was repainted in 2009 using the original Arcadian blue. There are a few little scratches and the paint is considered driver quality. There was 13 hundred dollars worth of brake work done and they work perfect. Car has new suspension springs and shocks all the way around with upgraded coil overs in the rear. There are new rubber bushings in the Front sway Bar. It has a solid ford 9" Read End. The rear end in these cars is actually factory Tri-Link so there is no need to upgrade the suspension. They were a definite race contender back in the day. The radiator was pulled and cleaned with all new hoses installed. Newer drive belts are in excellent condition. This car was upgraded to a set of Hooker Headers with dual flowmaster exhaust. The engine is not a little 289 but the 6.4 liter 390 Big Block backed by a MX Hydromatic transmission. If you want to make easy big power this is where its at. At stock they are about 300 Horsepower and if you add a Cam, Intake and Carb you can be up over 400HP easy. This car sounds awesome. The previous owner installed a Cruise control system that is really cool and works awesome on a carbureted car. It has an am radio but I am getting ready to install and aftermarket amp with a wireless Bluetooth unit. You will be able to stream music right from your phone wire free. The best part about this car is that is an AC car. It is probably due for O-Rings as the Freon leaks down after a few years but I will recharge upon purchase which will last you the rest of the summer. I can service all the O-rings depending on the purchase price. This car is scheduled to have the windows tinted in 5% next week. The rims and tires are off a 2007 mustang and they have excellent tread and make this car ride super smooth. I do have the originals with the original hub-caps. All deposits can be submitted Through Pay Pal. Final Payments will be done by bank transfer/cash only. Thank You Warranty-There is no warranty and this vehicle will be sold as is. Buyer is responsible for all shipping charges |

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo
Sun, 27 Apr 2014When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.
Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
