You are bidding on a 1968 Galaxie 500 convertible. I am in my seventies and no longer have space or time for this car. Some one needs to enjoy it. I got it because I wanted a car that was easy to maintain. I put a more modern 5 speed manual transmission in it. It only turns around 2000 rpms at 70 mph. It has been getting around 21 miles per gallon on the highway. It is an excellent cruiser.This car has had an amateur restoration done on it about ten years ago. The top is a little worn but has no leaks or tears. The interior is in pretty good shape and has a new dash cover. The power top goes up and down easily. The car is a factory 302 standard transmission car. It has an aftermarket AM/FM CD player in the homemade console. Also has a tach in the console. It still uses the original 1968 style starter, clutch and throw out bearing. The clutch was replaced when the transmission was changed so it has very few miles on it. I am sure there is something I forgot to put down so any questions please e-mail. Good luck bidding.

How the Ford Shelby Mustang came to be
Fri, 20 Sep 2013Even as rumors swirl that the next-generation of high-performance Ford Mustang will drop the Shelby name, Ford has released a short video telling how the legend of the Shelby Mustang came to be. In its latest installment of its video series entitled Mustang Countdown, Ford dug up some footage from Carroll Shelby to give a little insight into how this automotive icon was created.
While it's definitely interesting to hear the late legend tell the story in his own words (including numerous references to the 1964 Mustang as a "secretary's car"), it's also pretty funny learning exactly how the Shelby GT350 got its name in the first place - a name allegedly making a comeback as the replacement for the current Shelby GT500. As development work continues on the 2015 Ford Mustang, the Shelby video posted below shows that the automaker is always looking at its past - even as it looks ahead to the future.

Subcompact sales slump, yet again
Ford exec reveals new F-150 Raptor packs 450 horsepower
Mon, Jan 26 2015Between the new GT supercar, Shelby GT350R muscle car and F-150 Raptor off-roader, Ford had quite the array of performance machinery on display at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month. One thing it didn't reveal about any of the three, however, is how much power they'd pack, but a senior executive at the Blue Oval automaker has reportedly let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the Raptor. During a televised interview during the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past weekend, Ford's product development chief Raj Nair is said to have revealed that the new F-150 Raptor will offer 450 horsepower. That's pretty impressive from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, and would put the new Raptor out ahead of the 411 hp produced by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in the previous SVT Raptor. That doesn't give us the whole picture, though, because in a vehicle this big especially, torque will play a huge factor. The outgoing Raptor offered 424 pound-feet of twist, and the existing 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine is already producing 420 lb-ft – so it seems fairly safe to assume the new Raptor will eclipse those figures as well, but we'll have to wait for official word to find out for sure.
