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!

J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush
Tue, Aug 29 2017File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.

Help make Lego Icon Bronco a reality [UPDATE]
Fri, Feb 13 2015The Lego Ideas process is a pretty neat concept. The website allows anyone to propose a future kit, and if the project gathers 10,000 supporters within a certain amount of time, then the company investigates building it. The creator even gets a cut of the sales. We saw the operation at work last year with a very cool looking Corvette kit that hasn't hit the next stage quite yet. Now, another creator going by the username Legohero1966 has a fantastic looking replica of the Icon 4X4 Bronco hoping for support. The maker nails the boxy, brawny look of the Icon take on the classic Ford Bronco, and the Lego kit even gets the color pretty close. The miniature SUV also features a visible suspension, a removable top and, according to the description, a reel for the winch is hidden in the bumper. Underneath the body, this model even does a pretty good job of replicating the powertrain. As is expected by these kits, the hood, doors and hatch all open; on this one the spare tire carrier even moves out of the way, too. As of this writing, the Icon Bronco kit only has a little over 400 supporters, and that's a long way from the goal. If you like what you see, give the proposal a closer look on Lego Ideas. UPDATE: The original creator of the Icon Bronco kit, Paul Kim, has advised Autoblog that this Lego Ideas proposal was created without his consent, and he has reported the problem there. You can view more pictures of the Bronco and more of Kim's work, here.
