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!

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.

Bomb threat closes Ford Romeo Engine Plant [UPDATE]

Thu, Jul 30 2015

UPDATE: Ford has released the following statement about what's happening at the factory: "The Ford Romeo Engine Plant was reopened at 12:47 PM after law enforcement investigated and cleared the site. The afternoon and evening shifts are expected to report at their usual start times. Further questions on the investigation by law enforcement can be directed to the Romeo Police Department." Due to a bomb threat, Ford has evacuated its Romeo Engine Plant, and law enforcement is on the scene. According to the Detroit News, police with bomb-sniffing dogs are searching the building, which covers over 2 million square feet. Ford spokesperson Mike Moran wouldn't disclose to Autoblog how the threat was received but said that it came in between 7:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. Eastern on July 30. "The day shift was sent home," he said. According to the Detroit News, the second shift was also asked not to come in. About 500 people work at the plant, Moran indicated. At this time, Moran said that there hadn't yet been an update from law enforcement whether anything had been found in their search. The Romeo Police Department confirms to Autoblog that it's handling the investigation. However, the authorities wouldn't comment further about what is happening at the plant at this time.

DoJ fines Japanese parts firms $740M in massive automotive price-fixing scandal

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Nine Japanese suppliers have pleaded guilty in US court over charges of price fixing in the automotive parts industry, resulting in the Department of Justice doling out a total of $740 million of fines, according to a report from Bloomberg. The scandal, which has resulted in General Motors, Ford, Toyota and Chrysler spending up to $5 billion on inflated parts and driving up prices on 25 million vehicles has sent the DoJ hustling into investigations. "The conduct this investigation uncovered involved more than a dozen separate conspiracies aimed at the U.S. economy," Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured above) said during yesterday's press conference.
As the investigation stands, the DoJ has issued $1.6 billion in fines against 20 companies and 21 individual executives, with 17 of the execs headed to prison. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Scott Hammond said, "The breadth of the conspiracies brought to light today are as egregious as they are pervasive. They involve more than a dozen separate conspiracies operating independently but all sharing in common that they targeted US automotive manufacturers."
Big-name suppliers indicted in the investigation include Mitsubishi Electric, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi Automotive and Mitsuba Corporation. A list of fines and other corporations named in the investigation is available at Bloomberg.
