1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. 23,450 miles - Excellent condition all original and un-restored.  A classic muscle car.  1969 was the last year the Galaxie convertible was manufactured.  Only 6,910 were produced, and few survive.  I am the third owner and can provide the ownership history.  I bought the car 2 years ago when it had 17,500 miles on it. There is no rust. This car has always been stored indoors in climate controlled storage.  Owners have always been way over 40+ years of age.
Original numbers matching V-8 390 ci engine with automatic transmission. Does not consume or leak any oil
The electric top looks and operates perfectly like it was new. It is hard to believe it is 45 years old.  The removable cover has a small tear
Factory air conditioning is functional but is not charged up.  The heater and blowers work fine
The interior is all original and looks immaculate. People do not believe it is original.
Radio and all interior and exterior lights and signals work.  Cigarette lighter and clock do not have power, but I have not done troubleshooting
I replaced the wheel seals and the rear pinion gear seals due to evidence of leakage and a set of deteriorated control arm bushings
The body is rust free.  There is a golf ball size dent on the top of the right front fender from where I dropped a ladder on it.  Other than that the body is dent free.
The paint has a few scuffs and dings here and there. The chrome is all good except a blemish over the right exhaust pipe.   
If the car was repainted and the rear bumper re-chromed, this car would win local shows.
The car starts and runs smooth and quiet, and drives smooth and steady as you would expect a car with this low mileage.   
This is a rare example of a classic 60s era big block convertible in original unrusted condition.

Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.

Ford opens 88 new dealerships in China in a single day

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

"Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last year." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China during the first half of 2014." "Ford opened 88 dealerships in China last month." None of those statements - even the last one - would seem unbelievable. Saying "Ford opened up 88 dealerships in China last Thursday," though, is a bit more dramatic.
Yes, on June 19 alone, Ford opened the doors on nearly 100 showrooms in the People's Republic, boosting the Blue Oval's total presence in the country to 750 dealerships. Of course, while an overabundance of dealers in the US proved troublesome for American manufacturers back in 2008 and 2009, there's no such concern in China. Considering the country's huge population and the breakneck pace of the local auto industry, you could be forgiven for being surprised Ford only has 750 outlets at this stage.
What's notable about this most recent push, besides the sheer volume of new stores, is their location. Over three-quarters of the new dealerships are in so-called Tier 4 cities, which are smaller towns that still contain millions of people. This fits with Ford's strategy in China of avoiding the bigger battlegrounds that are already dominated by competitors and focusing on setting up shop in newer markets that may have been overlooked, according to Automotive News.
