Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Galaxie. This car originally came equipped with a 351 Windsor small block and FMX transmission, but a 429 from a 1970 Thunderbird was professionally rebuilt, mated with a C6 transmission, and put into the car. The entire drive train has less than 2000 miles on it after rebuild. The Torq Thrust wheels also have fresh tires on them with the same amount of mileage as the drive train. The cars power steering was made to work with the new setup and handles moving this classic car easily. Upgrades to the engine include, Mallory Ignition, Milodon Oil Pan, New Alternator Brackets, Edelbrock Valve Covers, and Edelbrock Carburetor. The C6 shifts very solidly and responds well to the big blocks torque and power. The engine turns over quickly, idles well, and sounds great through the era-correct glass pack dual exhaust mufflers. The front disc brakes do a good job of stopping this big car, and the suspension, albeit tired, is extremely comfortable to ride in; like a cruise ship on the ocean. The Trunk, containing a working spare, is solid with no rust through, as well as the body panels. There are a few imperfections and nicks in the paint. The chrome of the vehicle is in similar shape, great from a few feet away but showing its age up close, as cars of this era, without restoration, have a tendency to do. The interior would benefit from a good cleaning, but with excepection to a 2 inch tear in the back seat, the upholstery and carpet have held up well. The dash has a pad on it due to a crack underneath and the rear view and passenger side mirrors are included but not on the vehicle. Also included is a brand new convertible top. The current top operates correctly, opening and closing well, but bears the age of the vehicle and would benefit from being replaced with the new, proviced material. The water pump would also benefit from a new gasket against the block. Not major or expensive work, but a good idea for cruising on hot summer days. I have had this car for almost eight years and hate parting with it, but a new baby means she will have to sit outside in the cold if I don't part with it now and I hate to see that happen to such a great car. There were less than 8000 of these beauties made, and arguably less than half still exist. With a little love this car would make a great daily driver. It always turns heads and draws smiles when I take it to the beach here. As with all car sales this Galaxie 500 is sold as is and the winning bidder assumes responsibility for pick up or shipping. I will happily work with the winning bidder to get this vehicle to them after the sale. This car should be towed to its destination as it does not have valid tags.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.

Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
