1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2dr 302 T5 Air Ride Bagged Lowered Old School Galaxy on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States

I'm reluctantly selling my 1962 Ford Galaxie. I don't have the space to keep it, nor the time or resources to improve it and give it the good life it deserves.
It's a great car that I'd drive anywhere and have put a ton of trouble-free miles on. Details: Engine/trans.: Rebuilt roller cam 302 and world class Mustang T5. Engine has about 20-25k miles on rebuild. Has Trickflow Stage 1 roller cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Edelbrock 600 carb w/ electric choke. Mustang shorty headers, 2-1/2" exhaust w/ H-pipe, Flowmaster mufflers. Factory 9" rear w/ 3.70 gears. Gets 20-21 mpg on the highway. Slight driveline vibration over 65 mph that I believe may be caused by a bent axle. The reason I think this is the fact that I've put three left axle bearings in the car during the past 50k miles. I had planned on replacing the left axle, just haven't gotten to it yet. Suspension: RideTech airbag system. Airbags front and rear with electronic 4-way control. Front bags replaced coil springs, shocks relocated behind A-arms. Front suspension was completely rebuilt about 30k miles ago, including the steering box. Front spindles are Ford Granada with disc brakes - less than 5k miles on front brake components. Master cylinder is a disc/drum unit, also from a Ford Granada. Manual brakes, manual steering. Rear is factory leaf springs with two leaves removed on each side, 2" lowering blocks installed, and 'helper' type airbags installed. Compressor, air tank, valves, and pressure sending units are all mounted in the trunk. Wheels/tires: Wheels are chrome OEM type with WWW radial tires. Tires have approximately 5k miles on them. Body: Floor and trunk floor are solid. Exterior is showing rust in a few spots. I had fixed some rust spots eight years ago and they are showing again. The repairs never got sealed up on the backside, so moisture has crept through and the spots need repaired again. None of it is major, but worth mentioning -- See Photos. Primer/sealer is a PPG custom mix, applied eight years ago. Roof candy/flake/clear was done about seven years ago. Bumpers were rechromed about six years and are in very good condition. The rest of the chrome/trim on the car is in good driver condition. Interior/Glass: Mostly original. The carpet is the only thing that has been replaced - done about eight years ago. Front seat could be recovered and have some of the foam replaced. I consider the rest of the interior to be in good driver-quality condition. Windshield and seal were replaced about seven years ago. Windshield has a small crack in it - not bad, not in driver's sight-line. Passenger door glass has slight cloudiness, the rest of the glass is in good condition. CD stereo in glovebox with remote and four speakers. I have explained everything to the best of my knowledge and the car is sold as-is. I love driving this car and would love to keep it, but I can't. It's time for someone else to enjoy it. |

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

Ford family keeps special voting rights
Fri, 10 May 2013Ford Motor Company has a dual-class stock structure of Class A and Class B shares. The roughly three billion Class A shares are for the general public like you and me, while the roughly 71 million Class B shares are all owned by the Ford family. Each Class A share gets the shareholder one vote, each Class B share is worth 16 votes, the result being that Common Stock holders control about 60 percent of the company while the Ford family controls 40 percent even though it holds far fewer shares. The only way that could ever change would be if the Fords sell their Class B shares, but even so, Class B shares revert to Class A when sold outside the family, so they'd have to sell a whole bunch of them.
A contingent of Class A shareholders think the dual-class system is unfair, and for the past few years a vote's been held during the annual shareholders meeting to end it. It has failed every time, as it just did again during the meeting held this week. A smidge over 33 percent voted to end the dual system, outvoted by the 67 percent who are happy with the way Ford is going - unsurprising in view of a corporate turnaround that will be part of business-class curricula for years to come.
On the sidelines, Ford elected Ellen R. Marram to the post of independent director, the first woman to hold the job. The former Tropicana CEO and 20-year Ford board member replaces retiring board member Irvine Hockaday who helped bring Alan Mulally to the CEO position.
Ford pits Cobra Jet versus GRC Fiesta ST, worlds collide
Thu, 31 Oct 2013Racing takes on many forms in the automotive world. There are sanctioned events that are as varied and diverse as NASCAR, Formula One, Global Rallycross and drag racing, and to be good enough to win competitively in one discipline, you need to have a specialized vehicle. Or do you?
Ford decided to find out what would happen when its Global Rallycross Fiesta ST, driven by Tanner Foust, lined up against its Mustang Cobra Jet drag racer, driven by Roy Hill. In one lane, Tanner has just 2.0 liters of displacement to work with, while Roy has more than double that, at 5.0 liters. Evening the playing field a bit, Tanner has a massive turbocharger and all-wheel drive; Roy has to filter all his supercharged power through the rear wheels only.
So, who wins? We suggest you see for yourself in the press release and video below. And we're holding out hope that Tanner's challenge at the end results in another video from Ford Racing...
