1968 Galaxie 500 4 door. This is a really cool car, let me start by saying, it was in a storage building for probly 20 years buried under foam rubber. Where it rested until I got it, about two years ago. It was sold new by Jenkins and Wynne in Clarksville , TN. It was a older lady's car, which is evident  by the dings and war wounds it wears today. It was in dry storage so there is no rust to speak of, very solid body. The floors are great as is the truck pan and quarters. The inside truck lip has some rust on the inside, but none on the out side. The body is great for it age. It still wears all of its original paint, never painted. It is all original down to the engine paint and muffler system. You will not find a better car like it out there for the price, it just plain cool cruiser. I got the engine back up and running, it has new plugs, wires , points, condenser, and cap and rotor button. I rebuild the factory autolite 2v carb. It runs like a dream, quite and smooth as can be. It has factory a/c , that works still. It is R12, and work great. It might could use a can put in sometime this summer, but still gets cold. It has a new fuel pump, fuel tank has been coated, and a new fuel sending unit. Has 4 new headlights and a new headlamp switch and dimmer switch. Every thing works just as it should , the fan blower makes abit of noise on high, but that's it. Radio is AM and works, all original .It has very nice blue interior, no tears in the seats , head liner has one very small tear at the back, but is almost unseen. The car has all of it working seat belts. The carpet is kinda shot, very dried out where your feat set, I have this cover with floor mats.  All brakes are new, new shoes, rubber lines, wheel cylinders, and hardware. New master cylinder is also installed. Everything is as it should be for a cool driver car. This is not a show car, but that's why it so cool. Use it as it should be , take it to swap meets , drive it on cruise in, take the Power Tour in it, sure wish I could. Its that good. all fluids have been changed , she's ready to go. It does have some war wounds, lt fender has a dent at the front, that's the worst spot, others are dings and scratches. I have put 16x8 2000 model ford cop car wheels on it for a better ride and drive.It has new shocks all the way around.  It has nearly new tires on I just installed and had the car lined up. It has new A arm bushings, and a new idler arm as well , all Moog parts. Radiator has been cleaned and inspected. new water pump as well. I have spent a lot getting it up and going as good as it is so it can be enjoyed.  Use it as a shop car for your Ford hot rod or muscle car shop. Use it as a daily driver family car. Like I said power tour it, turbo it for a sleeper , which kind was my first plan lol. Make a cool cop car out of it .  Lots of enjoyment to be had for little investment. Be a perfect car to start out in, with planty of room, and you don't have to worry about a door ding, and it all original still. This is just a really original cool driver, that could be used fro about what ever you wanted to do with it. Please look at all the pictures before bidding. Please ask questions before bidding as well. Payment of $500.00 is due as a non refundable deposit with in 2 days after end of auction. Rest due via cash ,, or check when car is picked up.  Any check will have to clear my bank before title will be signed over. I will help all I can with shipping, but is up to the buyer to ship car,  local pick up would be best , if at all possible. Thanks for looking and enjoy, happy bidding!

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs

Mon, 11 Mar 2013

It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.

GM's Reuss predicts 2016 Chevy Camaro will outperform Ford Mustang in every way

Tue, Apr 7 2015

We aren't going to be seeing the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro until next month. But even though we know when we're going to see the new muscle car, it's totally unclear whether Chevy will dole out technical details. That means we can't answer the latest version of the age-old question: Camaro or Ford Mustang? Not surprisingly, General Motors North America President Mark Reuss has already stated his position, saying he was "very confident" that the sixth-generation Camaro will be faster, more agile and more efficient than the Ford. Reuss made his comments after saying he drove the new Camaro back-to-back with the Mustang the week prior. Reuss' statement came in a conversation with Fox News about the 2016 Camaro where he elaborated on the car's weight shedding and how it fit into GM's strategy on other new models. "There are some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Malibu, [and] CT6," Reuss told Fox. As we reported previously, the Camaro will shed some 200 pounds by switching to aluminum and other lightweight composites for some of its components. With May 16 just over a month away, here's hoping Reuss decides to loose some other details on the next Camaro ahead of its debut. Related Video:
