This is a 1961 Ford Galaxie 4 door in good condition for what she is. We started working on her just over a year ago, but have not had the time to really devote. Started on the body work on the drivers side doors and have a new drivers front fender as the original one somehow got smashed up (I say somehow because this car is a TANK). Will need new tires and a new tranny, motor is fine. We have bled the breaks a couple times and it seems that is something that will need to be done every once in a while unless you change those out, which was in my original plan for her. Will need new ignition switch as well - right now, we basically hot wire it to get her started, but when she's going, she sounds mean. Seats will need to be re-upholstered, but the back seat is in decent condition if you wanted to wait on that.

As for extras, here is what I have invested for her so far: full moon hubcaps, fender skirts, purple flake steering wheel, new carb (not sure if the hubby kept on or took back off, but I know we have it somewhere still), new drivers side front fender.

I removed most of the chrome from the outside of her because I wanted a cleaner look. The only body chrome line left is the one going down her fins - however, they are not in pristine condition, so I was constantly on the lookout for new ones of those also. The drivers outside handle - whoever had it before me apparently decided putting a screw right through the chrome was a brilliant idea, so while I still have it, it's not currently on the car.

This is my baby, but times are rough and I just don't have the time or money to resurrect Medusa to her glory...so my loss is your gain. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I have the title signed over from the previous owner, but never transferred it into my name. But it is a CLEAR title.

**This is a local pickup ONLY - I will not deliver or ship this car. I do not own a trailer and I will forewarn you that she is a BOAT so you will need a pretty big trailer for her to fit on**

10/27 - Realized I did not outright mention that the trunk lock has been shaved and I DO still have the gas cover plate. In the picture of the rear, you can see the gas cover does not have the chrome plate on it, but I still have that in my possession

Which is more fuel efficient, driving with a pickup's tailgate up or down?

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

Thanks to the smoke wand in the wind tunnel, you can actually see the difference in our video.
Should you drive with your pickup truck's tailgate up or down? It's an age-old controversy that's divided drivers for decades. Traditionalists will swear you should leave the tailgate down. Makes sense, right? It would seem to let the air flow more cleanly over the body and through the bed. But there's also a school of thought that argues trucks are designed to look and operate in a specific manner, and modern design techniques can help channel the airflow properly. So don't mess with all of that: Leave the tailgate up.

Volkswagen Golf, Ford F-150 named 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Congratulations, Volkswagen Golf/GTI and Ford F-150. You've just been named the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year, kicking off the first press day of the Detroit Auto Show. The Golf faced some seriously stiff competition from its runners-up, the Ford Mustang and Hyundai Genesis. But the Golf has been a highly awarded vehicle since its launch, including recently being named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. As for the Truck/Utility award, it wasn't immediately clear that the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 would win the North American honor, topping the Chevrolet Colorado and Lincoln MKC. The Chevy, after all, has been widely praised since arriving this fall, including taking home MT's Truck of the Year award. In 2014, Chevrolet had a sweep of the NACTOY awards, with the Corvette Stingray and Silverado taking top honors. Here's a look at the 2015 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year voting breakdown. As you can see, it wasn't exactly neck and neck. Car of the Year Volkswagen Golf/GTI – 256 points Ford Mustang Â– 204 points Hyundai Genesis Â– 110 points Truck/Utility of the Year Ford F-150 Â– 297 points Chevrolet Colorado Â– 205 points Lincoln MKC Â– 68 points The winners were determined by the votes of 57 North American jurors who work in all forms of media Â– magazine, newspaper, television, online and radio, and their ballots were tabulated in secret by accounting firm Deloitte & Touche. Autoblog editors Sharon Carty and Chris Paukert are members of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year jury.
