1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan station wagon.  This is a restored car with a completely professionally rebuilt 302 V8 and new AOD Automatic Overdrive Transmission with about 10,000 miles on the car since restoration.  The 302 has a 2 bbl carb, runs strong and sounds great with the headers and side pipes. The AOD transmission is a really nice modern touch for this classic and we kept the shifter on the column.  Radiator is new and this car will run all day in the summer without overheating. There's a nice temp gage installed under the dash.  I get more thumbs up on the highway from this than any other car I've had.  You just don't find these in this shape anymore without rust.

The paint is about 3 years old.  There's no rust on this car anywhere. I included photos of the spare tire chamber and the area forward of the spare under the bed where you can see the original red paint and no rust damage.  Vintage Cragar Keystone mag wheels.  The rear wheel skirts were painted to match and are included with the car.  I like the look without them but they can be put on easily.

The molding, emblems and trim pieces are in really nice shape.  All the doors and windows open and close as they should. The front bumper was re-chromed but all the other trim has its original patina.  Grille is straight without any damage.  Engine compartment was also restored and has a clean look.  There's lots to show off on this car. Dash is original, not cut and painted to match the top as are the rest of the interior trim pieces.  Rare electric window in the tailgate works great using the toggle switch on the dash.

Floors were painted black and there is no rust.  Seat covers are original. You can finish the interior to your taste or leave it as is.  I have the headliner bows and they go with the car.    All of the glass is original Ford Motor Co. script glass. Title is clear, in my name and there are no hidden DMV fees.  Everything is current.

Neat old classic wagon that was done right with style and can be driven home anywhere. Check out the video of it running by pasting the following link into your browser

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.

2015 Galpin Ford GTR1

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
