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.

Daily Driver: 2015 Ford Flex
Mon, Mar 16 2015The Ford Flex has been around. It's not T-Rex or even Model T old, but still; it's been hauling people and stuff since 2008 without a major redesign. That's quite a long time in the car world. Sales have been sliding the last couple of years, and the Flex is now considered a niche player in the crossover-centric US auto market. But that doesn't mean it's still not a pretty good vehicle for its purpose: If you need to haul people and stuff, there are few better choices. Some even think it's a guilty pleasure. I spent a winter afternoon tooling around suburban Detroit in a handsomely equipped Flex Limited. We're talking the 3.5-liter EcoBoosted V6 with 365 horsepower and all-wheel drive. Inside, there were big comfy seats, lots of leather, acres of storage space and even a built-in refrigerator. The drive ended up being surprisingly fun. If there's such a thing as a hot-rod minivan, this is it. I also got noticed. The Flex's boxy design has aged well. It's still polarizing, but there aren't many contemporary vehicles that look like a Flex. So if you've ever seen a Flex on the road, and thought: "Man, that thing is big. I wonder what it's like to drive that?" Now's your chance to find out.
Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively.
