Ready To Cruise All Summer, Very Nice1969 Galaxie Xl Convertible on 2040-cars
Stockbridge, Georgia, United States
|
The experience of driving an old American full size convertible is something that is just not available in any other vehicle. Two couples or a family going out for an evening cruise in this car is a very enjoyable way to spend your time.
As described above this car was built to make a cross country trip and all of the mechanical work is done and ready to go. Please consider this when bidding. I know there are cheap old Galaxies out there, but this one has had much of the big stuff done, for example: New aluminum radiator New Brakes New Flow-master exhaust Professionally rebuilt engine with hardened valve seats, RV cam, correct Ford 390 4 bbl manifold and new holly 4 barrel carb. (Trans Kick down arm/cable needs to be hooked up but no big deal been driving it like this and the engine has so much torque it just doesn't matter,.) New suspension bushings, shocks and Addco front sway bar. Handles like a modern car now. (OK a modern yacht is more honest) The interior was redone and looks good but there are a few minor things the shop could have done better, but again this is a road trip car not a show car. The top is fine, minor wear, and it has a new electric motor. The stereo is new, modern and hidden in the glovebox, but the I/R sensor for the remote has fallen behind the dash and I have not dug it out yet! I could go on and on, but the point is all of this stuff tends to cost a lot of money to do. So when you are comparing old cars to buy, consider that I started with a good old car and have spent nearly $15,000 to make this car road worthy and it still needs paint and some details to be show worthy. You can buy a project car and do it yourself, but my reserve on this car gives you an awful lot of that work for free! When scrap metal become so valuable a few years ago, many of these big cars got crushed, so they are more rare than ever and appreciating fast. I am a motivated seller, I've listed this car before and it went much higher than my reserve is this time so its going to sell!

Top Gear pits Hennessey VelociRaptor vs. Range Rover Sport SVR
Fri, Jun 5 2015As a television series, Top Gear is in limbo with an intent to return, but no hosts yet. However, it's magazine and website continue to bring us clips like this one. While the video might lack the show's charismatic hosts, this is an opportunity to see a drag race between a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR with 550 horsepower and a Hennessey VelociRaptor with 623 hp. The duel between these two supercharged V8s definitely sounds great. Both rugged models start at the line growling angrily at each other like dogs ready for a fight. You have to watch the clip to see whether the more powerful VelociRaptor feeds on the SVR, though.

Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
