67 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Hot Rat Street Rod

Up for sale is my daily driven dream car. I am sacrificing it to go back to real estate school so I can better support my family. It's ok I will get another one.

I have personally watched people at car shows get out of their car and walk past numerous pristine show cars to see this wagon. As the feelings of nostalgia overwhelm them they open their mouth and say "When I was a kid we had one like this." My dad carried his surf board on the roof of something like this. I will gladly pass this torch on to the winner of this auction. This car is the epitome of cool. When I go to get gas it takes 45 minutes because of the people wanting to talk about it. Or take pictures. If you do not like attention do not bid on this car!

This car has the ever faithful Challenger 289. This one is equipped with a 2 barrel carb for good gas mileage and BBK shorty headers with true dual exhaust, Thrush mufflers, and chrome tips for the get up and go. It sounds like a chorus of angels chanting an old Metallica song. You should see the looks on peoples faces when I pass them in the fast lane on the interstate. This is a well maintained DAILY driven hot rod. You can literally purchase this car and drive it back and forth to work everyday, immediately after you get it. Some listings say "drive anywhere" this car is driven everywhere! Though it has been in some shows (and won awards) this is not a show car. You may call it a rat rod or street rod. It's just plain bad. It has some small dings and patina paint, about 4 colors of red, and the chrome is good but not perfect. The white on the roof is kinda thin in spots. This car makes no apologies. The surf and skate stickers, and the board on top, really draw a crowd.

I am the second (technically third) owner of this car. The original owners bought the car in Lasater Missouri and owned it till they passed away in the early nineties. It was eventually purchased in an estate sale by Miami Classic Motors and I purchased it through ebay and had it shipped to me for Christmas. At one point it sat in storage for 25 years. Hence the low miles. I have service records documenting the mileage.

I added the headers and exhaust. Professionally installed by a local speed shop. It has a rebuilt carb, new cap and rotor, condenser, points, plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, 160 degree failsafe thermostat, fuel pump, brake lines, battery tray, wheel cylinders, headlight switch, dimmer switch, all lights, seat cover, middle seat belts, cup holder and a bunch of air fresheners. I have worked out most all the bugs. The engine is freshly painted Ford Blue and the valve covers and air cleaner are freshly painted Thunderbird Gold. The original seat cover was in bad shape so I installed the seat cover like new upholstery by disassembling the seat and contact gluing the covers on and reassembling. I have worked in several custom shops and all work is professionally done. It could use new carpet if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not. Also the rear door doesn't latch properly and the window switch doesn't work. The window motor works fine though.

This car has factory air conditioning and it might work. I removed the belt when I got the car and haven't really needed air so I didn't put it back on. The wood was added to the car sometime in it's life. Country Sedans didn't come with woodgrain. The only mod I wanted to do but did not get around to is to cut one ring out of the front coil springs. I'll leave that to the next owner. Just please keep the hubcaps and don't put some new style ugly wheels on it. The tires were brand new when I got the car and are still in good shape. The windows are all in perfect shape and the cars shows no signs of being in any accidents.

As far as any problems: Like any old car will, the engine does leak a little oil and burn a little. It needs new header gaskets because the ones BBK sends with their headers are no good. Also it doesn't stop very well. I drive it everyday anyways and I just stop early and often. I think just a new brake master cylinder would do the trick.

CAR IS LISTED FOR SALE LOCALLY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION AT ANY TIME, FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.

Buy with confidence you will not be disappointed with this car. This car is ready to go cruising.

2015 Ford Mustang fuel economy ratings leaked

Thu, 21 Aug 2014

Thinking about buying a new Mustang, but want to know what kind of fuel economy it'll get? Well we have our first indication as the pony-car enthusiasts over at Mustang6G.com have gotten a hold of the Monroney window stickers for a few of the new 2015 Mustang models.
Although the V8 model is not among them, we can now see how the EPA has rated those models with a half dozen pistons or less. The Mustang EcoBoost with the turbo four and a manual transmission has been rated at 22 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. The V6 manual gets 17 city and 28 highway, while the V6 automatic squeezes out a bit more in the city at 19 mpg but carries the same 28 highway rating.
By way of comparison, the latest Chevy Camaro with the V6 and a stick shift gets the same 17/28 EPA rating as a similarly equipped new 'Stang, and the V6 automatic Camaro gets 18/27 (slightly behind the Ford, but if you opt for the Camaro 2LS with its V6, automatic and 2.92 rear axle ratio, you'll be looking at 19 and 30).

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:

Ford's Mulally makes shortlist for Microsoft CEO

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

Ford CEO Alan Mulally has made the short list to take over tech giant Microsoft, lending further credence to rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would ditch Dearborn and move to Redmond.
The report comes from Reuters, which claims that alongside Mulally, former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop and three candidates from within Microsoft are on the short list to succeed Steve Ballmer at the company's helm, although previous reports claim the Ford exec is the number one candidate. Mulally is currently working without a contract, although Bill Ford seems to believe that he isn't likely to depart. Despite this belief, Ford was quoted just last month talking about the depth of talent on the Blue Oval's executive team.
"There is no change from what we announced last November. Alan remains fully focused on continuing to make progress on our One Ford plan. We do not engage in speculation," said Ford spokesman Jay Cooney.
