1965 Ford Galaxie Red on 2040-cars
Yonkers, New York, United States
|
This awesome Galaxie 500 has been professionally re-formed into a mildly modified 100% street legal muscle car. A few modifications have been added. She was built and dressed as a 427ci p engine with mid-rise 427ci 425hp heads and manifold, dual Ford aluminum quad intake with two, new Holley 600cfm carburetors. A 427ci solid lifter cam & a dual point distributor from a 63 1/2 Ford. The car is equipped with an MSD electronic ignition and cooled by a high capacity radiator. The car runs at a perfect 185 degrees. Hooker Competition Headers and dual Flow Masters add to the fun! Behind the 425hp engine is a very strong and brand new, all steel Borg Warner T-10 4 speed transmission with a HURST shifter and heavy duty drive shaft. New heavy duty clutch & clutch plate was also replaced recently. The rear axle assembly is a Detroit Locker with Richmond 4.10 gears and 31 Spline axles in a Ford 9" nodular casing. A competition engineered custom 4-foot ladder bar has been added to the rear suspension along with all chrome Molley rounded tubing, cross-members, supports, new springs and air shocks to add to the incredible performance of this car. To top it all off, a fiberglass Thunderbolt hood has been added. The level of workmanship on this car is amazing from top to bottom. Every inch of this restoration has been thought out to the last detail and it shows. Although a true performance package has been added to this Galaxie 500, it is still a very tame street cruiser when you want it to be. Long drives are a pleasure. With all the Engine Talk out of the way, this car still retains alot of its originality as well. The body is 100% rust free and all steel. No bondo. It was originally bought in FlagStaff Arizona until it was brought to NY in 2008. The car has been beautifully refinished in its original Rangoon Red and is nearly perfect as is the chrome and trim. The interior is incredible and has all new red rolled upholstery and headliner. All safety equipment such as headlamps, brake lights and signals work properly. The heater, gauges and odometer work as they should. The speedometer is not working. Windows roll up & down easily. This is a factory RADIO DELETE car. Mileage reads 76000 which is correct. She rides on 16" period correct American Racing Torque Thrust rims on 4 new Falken Tires... 225/60s in the front and 235/60 in the rear. Overall, in our opinion, this is a solid, much better than average #2++ car that is 100% roadworthy, safe and completely reliable. it is a car that was plentiful in its day but is rarely seen today, especially at this level and condition. Feel free to ask questions. Road tests are welcome. If youd like to fly in and see her, we will pick you up at any local NY airport. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! |

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America
Wed, May 27 2015Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.
