62 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2 Dr Hardtop Z-code 390 Project Or Parts Car on 2040-cars
Statenville, Georgia, United States
|
This auction is for a very rough and rusty but complete 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop. It is a Z-code car with the 390/4V Thunderbird motor. Georgia will not issue titles for 1962 and older vehicles, but I have a current Georgia registration in my name. This, along with a bill of sale will allow you to get a title in most title states (including Florida). The car has been off the road since 1977, and has been sitting in the back of a friend's garden for the last 18-20 years. Odometer reads 66572, but I don't know if this is the actual mileage or not. It has factory A/C, power steering and brakes, and automatic transmission. There is heavy rust in the trunk floor, the passenger floor and the radiator core support.. A friend who specializes in Fords looked at it for me and said he thinks the motor has never been apart due to the factory lock tabs on the exhaust manifold bolts. The trim that is missing from the doors and the hood lip moulding are included and are inside the trunk. The car to me appears to be too far gone to restore to original, but would make an excellent parts car or maybe even a rat rod. The previous owner had lost the keys, so I had to open the trunk by going through the back seat area. I removed the lock and it is included with the car. The brakes were stuck, so I have removed the brake hardware from each wheel, and the drums will all need to be replaced. None of the side windows will roll down. Once again, THIS CAR IS SOLD AS A ROUGH PROJECT CAR OR AS A PARTS CAR. It will need to be hauled on a trailer or a rollback due to the condition of the tires and because it has been sitting up for so long. It does roll very easily now for loading. A deposit of $300 is required within 48 hours of auction end, and balance due within 7 days. I will accept a check for balance, but will require 2 weeks to clear before car can be picked up. I may be able to deliver the car up to 250 miles from Statenville, GA 31648 for $2.10/loaded mile. If you want an exact delivery cost, send an exact, complete delivery address. Please email any questions or if you would like to see specific photos of any part of the car. Thanks for looking and for bidding!!!

Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.
