1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible Fully Restored Candy Paint on 2040-cars
Sierra Vista, Arizona, United States
1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 289 engine, performance manifold, 3 speed auto, electric ignition It was my daily ride before restoration. Very solid, runs great! Clear AZ title Fully restored, new Candy Wine Red paint (under the hood and trunk lid as well) New upholstery, new tires, new top, good battery Factory power steering, power windows, power top The car was first sold to Honolulu, Hawaii. Then was registered as Historic Vehicle in Oregon. Ended up in Reno/ Nevada where I bought it and took it to Arizona. The car was absolutely rust free but the paint was old and faded. The upholstery was original in really bad condition. The previous owner overhauled the engine, painted it. I spend tons of money on it over two years and I still wouldn't say it's done. The reason I don't ask twenty-thousand for it is because it doesn't have the disc break conversion kit (about $600 on ebay). No chrome rims ($400 and up) Weather strips are original and some places are worn (about $450 on ebay) I fixed the Galaxie emblem on the driver's side of the back just to see how it looks. It's removable, I didn't drill the body. I didn't fix it at the passenger side. It will be you choice to remove it or put up the other pair. The Galaxie 500 scrits are included as well as the old trims, spare tire, MP3, SD-card player, old FORD trunk script I'm selling the car localy and reserve the right to end the auction at any time $500 PayPal deposit required within 24 hours after auction ends. (I will have to travel back to Arizona) No joy rides, low ball offers please. I've got lot's of pictures of restoration Happy bidding, God bless |

2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L EcoBoost
Fri, 09 May 2014I'll be honest; when Ford first unveiled its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, I was skeptical. Past attempts at building turbocharged American cars were almost universally awful, I reasoned, so why would Ford's latest effort be any different? This may seem foolish today, considering the success that the growing EcoBoost range has achieved - particularly the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter mills. Yet I once again found myself questioning Ford.
It's the makeup of the 1.0-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder slotted into the compact engine bay of this Fiesta that has a way of breeding doubt. Three-cylinder engines remain an extreme rarity in the US. What's more, they earned a less-than-desirable reputation for applications in the 1980s and 1990s, and my trepidation about this latest three-pot as a result.
As I found out, though, history is a poor informant of modern technology. The thrust available in other cars with the EcoBoost badge on the back has not gone missing here; something the International Engine of the Year committee has lauded. That august body named the 1.0-liter Ecoboost the best engine of 2012 and 2013. After a week of driving, it didn't take long for my fear of threes to get turned into something like that line of thinking.
Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron
Thu, Feb 23 2017Top 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.
