Up for auction is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL, 4 dr. hardtop. The car is white in color, with a blue interior. This vehicle may be used for either restoration, or as a parts car. The car has not run in approximately 10+ years. The engine was overhauled at about 80-85,000 miles, but the odometer is at over 160,000 now. The car was parked due to the exhaust manifold bolts being broken off while a "mechanic" was attempting to replace the manifold gaskets. When he removed the intake manifold to have the broken bolts removed, he neglected to clean the debris from the valley, and consequently partially clogged the oil screen/pickup. Car was not driven with the oil light on, or with low oil pressure. I purchased the car to repair, but other projects came first, and the repairs were not done, so the car has sat idle for over 10 tears. This is a complete car, less the generator, brackets for the generator, and other small miscellaneous under-hood items. The car is factory equipped with bucket seats and console, with console mounted shifter. The floor pans are in good condition, to the best of my knowledge (haven't pulled up the carpet to look) , but have looked under the car. The trunk floor is rusted out, due to a bad trunk weatherstrip. The trunk floor will have to be replaced, as will the trunk weatherstrip. Interior is complete. Glass is intact, but the front windshield is cracked at the bottom. The car has been kept covered to prevent water intrusion into the interior. Seats and door panels are in good to better- than- fair condition. Headliner is there, but has fallen in some places.All exterior moldings and trim are in place, and for the most part has only tarnishing, but no dents. The body is in very good condition for the age, with some minor rust out on the lower rear quarter panels behind the wheel wells (due to trunk rust out). Car has factory spinner (tri-bar) wheel covers, and a pair of stainless skirts. Windows roll up and down. The car has no factory air conditioning, no power locks, no power windows, no power seats. Car will have to be picked up at my location, or the buyer must arrange for transport to his/her location, at his/her expense. You must make your own arrangements for transport of the vehicle. Car will not leave these premises until payment is made in full. If the buyer is to personally pick up the car at my location, cash is acceptable. The only other form of payment to be accepted will be via PayPal. The car is sold AS IS, with no warranties, either expressed or implied. If you have any questions, please ask. Pictures are posted.. There is a low reserve on the vehicle. I would rather sell it cheap, as see it go to the crusher or for junk. Car is sold with a Bill of Sale only. Vehicles in Alabama were not issued a title prior to the 1975 model year.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
J Mays retiring from Ford design, succeeded by Moray Callum
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Ford's highly influential head of design, J Mays, has announced that he'll be retiring from his position after 33 years in the industry, 16 of which were at the Dearborn, MI-based company. Upon departure, he'll be succeeded as group vice president of design by Moray Callum. If that last name sounds familiar, yes, he's the brother of Jaguar's Ian Callum.
It's difficult to explain just how big of a role Mays had on not just Ford's design over the years, but on the entire industry. Before heading to Dearborn, Mays worked for Audi, BMW and then Volkswagen, where he was involved in concept cars that paved the way for design icons like the first-generation Audi TT and the Volkswagen New Beetle. As for his Ford resume, it's extensive.
Mays joined the company in 1997 as design director for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Mazda, as well as the Premier Automotive Group (Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar and Aston Martin). He was heavily involved in the Ford Fusion, Focus, Fiesta, Taurus, F-150 and Mustang, while also contributing to concept cars like the Atlas, Evos, 427, Forty-Nine, Shelby GR-1, Lincoln MKZ and the MKC.
Mysterious small Ford spied in Germany
Sat, 29 Jun 2013Our spy photographers have just popped off a few shots of something curious. This little runabout was spotted in Germany out testing with a current-generation Ford Fiesta. We're fairly confident the machine is a Ford, but exactly which Ford model is up for debate. The hatchback could be the next-generation Ka, but we've also heard that the Blue Oval supermini might not get a replacement. Our shooter says the five-door is a bit smaller than the current Fiesta, though there is a chance that this rig is just an engineering mule for drivetrain development. Then again, it could be a model built specifically for the South African market or China, or not a Ford at all.
Whatever it is and wherever it's headed, you can check out in the gallery for a closer look before heading into Comments to weigh in with your best guess.
