Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Vehicle ran bad when parked in early 70's. Dad removed heads and car has sat ever since. some dents, snow depressed roof. tires missing or flat. little rust here in eastern Oregon, wear and tear by snow and summer heat. dash well preserved. upholstery ruined. dents fixable. candidate for restore. I believe the odometer shows 80 some odd thousand."

This Galaxie was driven by  a local woman who still lives and works here in town.  She isn't sure who owned the title but that was 40 years ago!  My father owned a gas station/repair/tow business.  I still own a tow business and if anyone expresses much interest in this vehicle i'll go thru the old business records and see if I can find a title for it but lets assume it was never transferred.  It could be her husband or whoever at the time had something to do with her driving this car.  I know my dad worked on it and that probably explains why he ended up with the car.  He had me remove the heads shortly before I went in the army in '73 and as mentioned it's been sitting on the ranch ever since.  I'm sure the engine was never overhauled and the car is all OEM with no restoration attempts and such.  We are in the extreme east side of Oregon, not much rust here and as you can see in the photos the dash is in great shape.  Of course the upholstery is shot.  the intake manifold for the engine is in the back seat, If the heads are still here it'd be a major project to find them.  tires are missing or worthless.  I don't think there are any dents that can not be removed by any body shop, there is some putty on the drivers side over the rear wheel well..

   I don't know what else to tell you but being a factory black/red car with factory air I think it will be a head turner if someone will take it on.  I copied this info from the data tag;  body; 54B or 34B, COLOR; A, TRIM 25, DATE 080, DSO 72, AXLE 6, TRANS; 2 AND SERIAL #; 2J52X150287.  It has a manual shifter on the column, I don't see how it'd fit on the floor with that big polarair ac unit in there!, the seats look manual (lever on LH side.)

I respond well to E mail so write and i'll always answer.   I understand the title issue, owning a tow business I know there are ways of dealing with it.   About payment and shipping.  I'll tow it as far as La Grande Or. or Boise Id. for a flat bid, any further will be at the going rate.  I'll help load if you come to rescue it.    I'll take a check or pay pal but if it's a personal check make arrangments so it clears before loading.  IE;  going to bank (weekday) etc.  in fact, you should plan on my doing that even with a cashiers check.  I can also take some plastic, when the device is working!

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost already hitting 12-second quarters

Sun, 28 Sep 2014

The arrival of a new Ford Mustang means many things to many people, but not least of them is drag racers. The pony car has always been a mainstay of the drag strip, and the Ford Racing team aims to carry that reputation forward with this latest generation. So it cooked up a few basic modifications on three new 'Stangs and headed to the strips at US 131 and Milan Dragway to see what they could coax out of 'em.
Impressively, the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT with a few modifications (but no forced induction) managed to clock a quarter-mile time of 11.77 seconds. Another Mustang GT fitted with a supercharger clocked a blistering 10.97 seconds. But just as intriguing was the modified EcoBoost model that, with only four cylinders and 2.3 liters of displacement, still passed the gates in just 12.56 seconds - nearly half a second better than expected. This with modification limited to a new subframe, half-shaft, drive shaft loops, exhaust, engine calibration, slicks, roll cage and bucket seat. Well done, boys.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
