1968 Galaxie 500 4 door. This is a really cool car, let me start by saying, it was in a storage building for probly 20 years buried under foam rubber. Where it rested until I got it, about two years ago. It was sold new by Jenkins and Wynne in Clarksville , TN. It was a older lady's car, which is evident by the dings and war wounds it wears today. It was in dry storage so there is no rust to speak of, very solid body. The floors are great as is the truck pan and quarters. The inside truck lip has some rust on the inside, but none on the out side. The body is great for it age. It still wears all of its original paint, never painted. It is all original down to the engine paint and muffler system. You will not find a better car like it out there for the price, it just plain cool cruiser. I got the engine back up and running, it has new plugs, wires , points, condenser, and cap and rotor button. I rebuild the factory autolite 2v carb. It runs like a dream, quite and smooth as can be. It has factory a/c , that works still. It is R12, and work great. It might could use a can put in sometime this summer, but still gets cold. It has a new fuel pump, fuel tank has been coated, and a new fuel sending unit. Has 4 new headlights and a new headlamp switch and dimmer switch. Every thing works just as it should , the fan blower makes abit of noise on high, but that's it. Radio is AM and works, all original .It has very nice blue interior, no tears in the seats , head liner has one very small tear at the back, but is almost unseen. The car has all of it working seat belts. The carpet is kinda shot, very dried out where your feat set, I have this cover with floor mats. All brakes are new, new shoes, rubber lines, wheel cylinders, and hardware. New master cylinder is also installed. Everything is as it should be for a cool driver car. This is not a show car, but that's why it so cool. Use it as it should be , take it to swap meets , drive it on cruise in, take the Power Tour in it, sure wish I could. Its that good. all fluids have been changed , she's ready to go. It does have some war wounds, lt fender has a dent at the front, that's the worst spot, others are dings and scratches. I have put 16x8 2000 model ford cop car wheels on it for a better ride and drive.It has new shocks all the way around. It has nearly new tires on I just installed and had the car lined up. It has new A arm bushings, and a new idler arm as well , all Moog parts. Radiator has been cleaned and inspected. new water pump as well. I have spent a lot getting it up and going as good as it is so it can be enjoyed. Use it as a shop car for your Ford hot rod or muscle car shop. Use it as a daily driver family car. Like I said power tour it, turbo it for a sleeper , which kind was my first plan lol. Make a cool cop car out of it . Lots of enjoyment to be had for little investment. Be a perfect car to start out in, with planty of room, and you don't have to worry about a door ding, and it all original still. This is just a really original cool driver, that could be used fro about what ever you wanted to do with it. Please look at all the pictures before bidding.

Honda poised for growth, Detroit to hold steady, Car Wars study says
Fri, Jun 5 2015The automotive industry is expected to keep booming in the US over the next several years, but the train might start running out of steam in the long term, according to 2015's Car Wars report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst John Murphy. The forecast focuses on changes between the 2016 and 2019 model years, and the latest trends appear similar in some cases to the past predictions. Sales are expected to keep growing and reach a peak of 20 million in 2018, according to the Detroit Free Press. The expansion is projected to come from a quick pace of vehicle launches, with an average of 48 introductions a year – 26 percent more than in 1996. Crossovers are expected to make up a third of these, maintaining their strong popularity. However, Murphy predicts a decline, as well. By 2025, total sales could fall to around 15 million units. As of May 2015, the seasonally adjusted annual rate for this year stands at 17.71 million. Like last year, Honda is predicted to be a big winner in the future thanks to products like the next-gen Civic. "Honda should be the biggest market share gainer," Murphy said when presenting the report, according to Free Press. Meanwhile, in a situation similar to Car Wars from 2012, a lack of many new vehicles is expected to cause a drop for Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. Based on this forecast, Ford, General Motors, and FCA US will all generally maintain market share for the coming years. The report does make some future product predictions, though. The next Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra might come in 2019, which is earlier than expected. Also, Lincoln could get a Mustang-based coupe for 2017, a compact sedan for 2018 and an Explorer-based model in 2019, according to the Free Press.

Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?
Tue, Dec 9 2014A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.
2014 Ford F-150 gets CNG option
Wed, 31 Jul 2013Ford is toiling away, installing heavy-duty engine components into select 3.7-liter V6s to allow them to run on compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in addition to gasoline. That's nothing new, but now, Ford has announced that it will offer the 2014 F-150 with this engine configuration, bringing the Blue Oval's total number of CNG/LPG-friendly vehicles up to eight. The F-150 will be the only half-ton pickup on the market that can run on these gases.
Ford will charge $315 per vehicle to equip the optional engine, but the trucks won't be ready to run on the alternative fuels straight from the factory and must be upfitted with additional equipment. A Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier will install a separate fuel system for the compressed gases at a cost of $7,500 to $9,500, depending on fuel tank size. With the right-size tank, the F-150 equipped with the CNG/LPG-prepped engine can go 750 miles on one tank of gas, according to Ford, averaging 23 miles per gallon.
The practice of offering flex-fuel vehicles is gaining momentum as businesses take advantage of cheap gas. CNG can be bought for $2.11/gallon on average (per gasoline equivalent), and sometimes for as little as $1.00 in some parts of the US, Ford states. "With the money saved using CNG, customers could start to see payback on their investment in as little as 24 to 36 months," says Jon Coleman, Ford's fleet sustainability and technology manager. The automaker expects to sell a total of 15,000 CNG/LPG-prepped vehicles in the 2014 model year.
