Up for grabs is a SUPER clean Ford Galaxie 500 XL Hard Top Kustom Low Rider.. All 4 windows roll down to expose the amazing look of the hard top ( no post) This is a Low rider that turns heads everywhere it goes. Its straight as an arrow, California car.. No rot or rust that I have found anywhere. This low low is set up with 2 chrome Viair pumps, Bagged on all 4 corners, Astro Supreme wheels with brand new pinner Hankook radials, Bellflower tips, 4 switches with psi indicators for left and right pumps. Has a FRESH 352 FE that has been rebuilt and only 5800 miles on it since the rebuild, no leaks or smoking at all. Doors are shaved and has, mild not wild, very nicely done pinstripping on the deck lid and on the hood. Custom silver interior. Custom steering wheel, Custom Grille, Faux Appleton spotlights, Paint is a very nice relaxing silver base with green topcoat and cleared over.. Roof is silver but could use a nice new coat of clear.. I was gonna use the silver base and panel it with heavy metal flake. Has a CD player in the glove box in good working condition. This is not in show car condition with $20k paint.. but expect to gather a big crowd around it everywhere you go. Transmission is very strong. Beautiful chrome bumpers. I have driven this car confidently 200+ miles runs.. I will also throw in a brand new Edlebrock Intake and Nice Finned MT valve covers.. The only issues I have seen and their not really issues at all to me, but couple of the dash knobs are missing and when its " laying frame" you have to put it in the neutral position. This is due to the Neutral Safety Switch position as the car lays on the ground. And only other thing is a very small leak in one of the hoses and very small leak in the 5gal tank very very easily fixed, as I was gonna upgrade to .. Very cheap and easy fixes. Wasnt a deal killer for me when I purchased it, just never got around to fixing. Small almost out of site, scrape on right front corner of the bumper, I believe the previous owner in California pulled in somewhere with the car too low and bottomed out.. and lastly the e-brake pedal is depressed all the way to the floor, It appears p.o bypassed the e-brake.. again not an issue for me cause I lay frame when I park and trust me, car isnt moving anywhere!! Please bid in confidence, DO NO BID IF YOUR NOT SURE.. Last thing I want is Tire kickers.. Please have positive feedback when bidding. I will not pay for shipping but will work with buyer very and do everything I can in my power to help load the car.. I have listed this to the best of my ability. If your offering trades i would only be interested in 1927-1940 Fords ( coupes or roadster) with equal value.. This vehicle will also be up for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The reserve is set lower than what the car is worth. Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Ford recalls over 500,000 trucks and SUVs, including Explorer, F-150, and Lincoln Aviator

Fri, Aug 30 2019

For the second time in a month, Ford is recalling the brand-new 2020 Explorer and 2020 Lincoln Aviator for minor safety issues. This recall, which also affects certain 2018-2020 Ford F-150s, 2019-2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Ford Explorers, and 2019-2020 Ford Expeditions, pertains to potentially faulty seat-back reclining mechanisms. In total, the recall touches 550,186 vehicles. A mechanical part meant for relaxation and comfort has the Ford Motor Company stressin'. Ford says potentially affected vehicles might be missing the "third pawl required for seat-back strength" in the reclining mechanisms on certain seats. Because of this, the seats might not properly keep a person in place during the event of a crash or otherwise.  In the F-150s, F-Series Super Duty trucks, 2018-2019 Explorers, and Expeditions, the recall affects vehicles with manual driver and/or front passenger seat-back recliners. On the 2020 Explorers and Lincoln Aviators, rear outboard seats with manual recliners are of concern. Of the more than 550,000 vehicles, 483,325 vehicles are in the United States, 58,712 are in Canada and 8,149 are in Mexico. Thus far, Ford is not aware of any injuries from the issues. Ford says it expects most vehicles will not need repair, but dealers will inspect the seat structures out of precaution. If fault is found, dealers will replace the seat structure altogether. For this recall, Ford's reference number is 19C07. Contact your dealer for more information. Featured Gallery 2020 Ford Explorer View 47 Photos Recalls Ford Lincoln Truck SUV

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals – giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:
