1970 Galaxie 500 2 Door Hard-top, Sportsroof, 390 engine, 2V, C6 trans, factory air, factory AM radio, front and rear bench seats, manual windows, power steering and power brakes with factory front disc.

-It has 79,772 miles on it now. The car started its life in Florida and was brought to Illinois in the 90’s. I purchased it this summer and it is now in Dayton, Ohio. All previous body and mechanical work listed below was done by the previous owner.

-I have all of the interior and exterior trim, except for the carpeting, antenna and the Galaxie 500 emblems that go on the rear quarters. The front bench seats and the dash are still in the car, but the rest was taken out. The seats will need to be re-covered and the dash is cracked in the middle.

-The exterior trim is in pretty good shape and has been polished. The front bumper is in great shape and the rear is in decent shape. Rear bumper needs straightened or replaced.

-The door handles are off the car and are pitted and should be replaced.

-The weather-stripping is in okay shape, interior is in good shape except the floor in the driver’s foot-well is rusting out, new trunk gasket still in the package, I also have the floor mats, hubcaps and the factory bumper jack.

-The exterior bodywork is about 75% complete. The hood, trunk lid and cowl vent were dipped and primed. The rest of the body has been cleaned up and straightened out.  There is a new quarter patch panels and new door bottoms from about 6 years ago along with a trunk pan removed from a 1969 Arizona car. The taillight housings and lenses are in great shape. The side marker lights and turn signal lights are in good shape.

-The majority of the frame is rusting out, so it will need to be addressed.

- The interior is Medium Blue. The exterior was Medium Blue but black and gray primer now.

-The fuel tank was removed and cleaned. It will need a new float for the fuel gauge to work correctly. It shows full now, but I’m not using the tank and I have the line disconnected and use a small gas can under the hood when I have to move the car.

-The engine runs and the car will drive.   Youtube video of the engine running - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lTKBYN-1Vo

-The left rear wheel bearing, front brake pads, rear brake shoes and ignition coil  were replaced 7 years ago along with some of the brake lines.

-The tires are worn, but hold air. The wheels, including the spare, are the factory steel wheels and need to be cleaned up if they are going to be used.

-It does need new A-arm bushings and the power steering return line.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax

Thu, Jan 22 2015

From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.
