1970 Galaxie 500 Spotroof on 2040-cars
Andover, Minnesota, United States
This car has been restored inside and out and gets a lot of attention wherever it is. The engine is a 390 that was rebuilt prior to my owning this car. It starts and run great. The front seal on the transmission leaks pretty bad so the transmission will need to be removed and the seal replaced (I would not drive it anywhere until this is fixed). Mileage listed is what is on the odometer, actual mileage is unknown. The tires are like brand new with vintage Craiger SS rims. The rims are in great condition with one small rust spot on one of the rims. The interior is in good condition and appears to be original. The dash has one small crack otherwise it is perfect. The heater/AC control might need to be looked at as it moves but is not very easy. This car has factory AC but the hose has a cut so it is not working. The seats and carpet are in great shape and there is no sign of rust on the body. There are a couple of small imperfections on the paint however they are unnoticeable until you are washing and polishing the car. This is not a car that only looks great from a distance. I have the original build sheet from Ford (see picture). I have posted several pictures to try and show everything about the car and am trying to give you all the information up front so you know what you are getting. Overall this car is in great shape and other than the transmission it is ready to show off. By bidding you are committing to purchase the car so don’t bid if you are not serious. Buyer pays for shipping. $500 deposit via Paypal is required within 48 hours of the auction close and the balance due via Cashiers Bank Check. Delivery can take place after payment has been received. |

2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers.
