Ready To Cruise All Summer, Very Nice1969 Galaxie Xl Convertible on 2040-cars

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!

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?
