1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL.
289 Engine.
C-4 Transmission. This car has been graciously decoded by Tom Lanulaytis who manages the 1966 Ford Full-Size Registry website.

A few items of interest that have been recommended to include are:
Power Steering
Power Seats (both driver and Passenger. However, need a little attention in the motors.)
Power Windows (Rollers need lubed).
Air Conditioning (Does need work. Everything is there).
AM Radio
Rear Speaker
Single Speed Wiper
Hood Spear is straight although has pitting.
Wheel Well and Rocker Moldings look really good. Very little pitting.
Of the 236 XL hardtops, only 24 are equipped with 289 so they are quite uncommon. (After all, the 289 and C4 was the standard, no-cost combo for the XL, leaving the buyer extra money for options.). Mileage is listed as 00000 because odometer has exceeded mechanical limits. Actual mileage is unknown.

Here is the Warranty Tag decoded.

The frame is rusted through (just on the bottom side. Totally fixable) on the left side above the Rocker Panel. The body is rusted through on the right rear wheel well. Other than those issues, this is a very nice car for a 1966. Paint/Body has areas that need some work.

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
