For your consideration you will find two 1968 Galaxies.  One car is a 500 and the other is an XL.  I only have a title for the 500, not the XL.  So you can take both of these cars to make a nice one.  

About the cars

Both:
Need restored
Must be towed from property within two weeks of auction end
Better than many projects I have seen
Haven't been in the trunks, they might be packed with parts/goodies - not sure

The XL:
  • Believe is a 390 car
  • No title for this one
  • No motor or trans
  • Frame is solid
  • The body looks good for a solid restoration
  • Rare flip headlights 
  • Has a 9" rear
  • Is a Fastback


The 500:
  • Believe is a 352 car
  • Was on the road in the 90s
  • No motor or trans
  • The frame had issues but was repaired to be a driver
  • Rare shoulder belt
  • Has a 9" rear end
  • Is a fastback



These cars would be good for a full restoration, or make a driver, even a race car.  I was going to restore one to be perfect and then turn the other into a race car.  I lost my storage last week and I don't want them to sit out.  I have two cars to do in front of these so they must go.  

Special note:
You have to tow these.  And they simply cannot stay on the property much longer so your promptness is a must!  There are a lot of parts in both of these cars.  I haven't inventoried to see if anything is missing. Floors seem decent in the XL but I haven't put these cars on the lift.  I pulled them from the barn a few weeks ago and here they are waiting for your restoration.  These are nice high dollar cars when done!

Ford readying three-row Edge for China

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The next-generation Ford Edge will be available with quite a growth spurt for its debut in China next year, with newly announced plans also to build and sell a three-row version exclusively in the People's Republic. However, markets outside of there likely won't see the larger model. Ford marketing boss (and future head of Ford of Europe) Jim Farley announced the three-row version of the crossover at the Los Angeles Auto Show, according to Automotive News. To create the extra room, Ford made the Chinese-built variant about 16 inches longer than its two-row counterpart. Farley didn't specify at which of the Blue Oval's plants in the country this model would be assembled. The Explorer and forthcoming Everest already offer three rows from the Ford lineup in China, but the company thinks the market can easily support all of them. According to Farley to Automotive News, the utility segment is up 485 percent in the country since 2008. Customers in the US can still look forward to the two-row Edge hitting dealers early next year. It'll be the first model in the Blue Oval's lineup here to come standard with EcoBoost power.

How Ford hid the 2015 Mustang from spy photographers

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Now that we've finally seen the 2015 Ford Mustang, it's fun to go back and look at the spy shots we spent months pouring over, trying to dissect what was under all the camouflage. For the most part, Ford did a good job of concealing the car from spy photographers, and it released a video showing how much work went into doing so.
As crude as the Mustang's camo looked, all of the hard plastic, foam, vinyl and ratchet straps were actually created and put in place by a specific design team. The whole idea was to hide the car's identity, but it certainly ended up acting as a magnet for attention, too. According to Ford's press release, it took less than an hour for spy shots to appear online after the car was taken on public roads for the very first time - this is likely in reference to our first official spy shots of the Mustang from June, shown in the gallery below.
Scroll down for a press release and video, which shows footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang testing with minimal camouflage. This is probably the same track session where we got our first look at the Mustang's face back in August.

Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
