Darlington, Indiana, United States
Engine:428 ci
Mileage: 80,000
Model: Galaxie
Trim: 7 Litre
Options: Convertible
Year: 1966
Drive Type: RWD
Up for Auction is a rare 1966 Galaxie 500 Convertible 7 Litre Edition. The car is a highly optioned 7 Litre. It has factory installed power windows, power locks, cruise control, in dash AC, and best of all the 7 Litre package which includes the legendary 428 ci engine. The car is in exceptional condition for its age. The under side is very nice with only one very small soft spot on the passenger side rear floor pan. The rest of the under side and frame is rock solid. The trunk is amazingly rust free. The only other rust on the car is around the chrome for the convertible top. Most likely where the water sat on after a rain or washing. The engine is a 428 CI with a 4V carb. It will start and run but smokes a bit, it should be rebuilt. The heads and intake are off of a 1968 engine but it is a 428. The trans appears to be original to the car, a C6 automatic. It retains its original front power disc brakes. Some of the electrical works and I think that some of it is unhooked. There is no alternator currently on the car so its make it hard to be sure that everything is hooked up correctly. The power windows nor the top pump would do anything so I imagine that there is no power going to them at all. The headlights, taillights, and turns worked. Several bulbs are out so the turns did not flash. This car needs a total restoration. This is a great base to start with. A super solid body that needs the dings and dents worked out and painted and an engine that needs a little freshening up and you can hit the road in a rare street machine. Please contact me with any questions. 765-376-3486 or email through ebay. The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
Next SVT Mustang may axe Shelby name, go naturally aspirated
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Following our first glimpse at the 2015 Ford Mustang out on the road, the fine folks at Road and Track have divulged some details on what the Blue Oval's next pony might have in store. We've already seen that the car will get some very sleek, Evos-inspired design cues, and an independent rear suspension is indeed in store. These new details, however, concern the muscle car's beating heart.
For starters, the base Ford coupe is expected to carry on with V6 power, likely from the same 3.7-liter unit found in today's car. From there, R&T says the next step up will be a four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, likely displacing 2.3 liters, putting out as much as 350 horsepower. Of course, a Mustang wouldn't be a Mustang without V8 thrust, and R&T states that the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 will continue on into the 2015 car, making something like 450 horsepower.
But it's at the high end of the Mustang range where things will, reportedly, get very, very interesting. Road & Track claims that the top-shelf 'Stang will likely lose the supercharger from its engine, producing a metric crap-ton of naturally aspirated grunt instead. Additionally, the SVT-fettled Mustang will likely be dropping its Shelby moniker, in favor of "a name you're familiar with," according to the magazine (you know, like, Cobra).
