For Sale . . . . Gorgeous, running project car (or make take it as is for your daily driver!) 1968 Ford XL (Galaxie 500 XL) rare 2 door fastback. The 1968 Ford XL (Galaxie 500 was dropped from the series name in 1967, but still a Galaxie) is the first year with concealed headlights (they work perfectly), the upgraded base V8 (302 cc; 4.9 L), and shoulder belts in the front. This vehicle also has the front disc brakes.
Car is in very good condition. The interior is clean. There is one patched 4 inch cut on the OEM replica headliner that is near the trim so it isn't very visible. Everything else is original. Leather seats are in great condition (one small tear on passenger seat, approximately 1 inch long). As seen in pictures, front windshield has a crack in it, but it has been there for years. There are, of course, some small dents, but these are on the bumpers (as seen in pics). The body is very straight. Has original motor and transmission. Engine runs fine and tranny shifts fine, car has never left me stranded. Also, it has passed emissions here in Tucson every year that I've had it. I actually had it registered with historic vehicle insurance this year, so it is now emissions exempt, so I did not have to run it through emissions this year. All of the trim is present (except for the chrome trim on the lower rear quarter panel on the passenger side), although the trim is more in daily driver shape than show quality. The first owner replaced the hood and driver side quarter panel in the 90s. The original paint was dark brown, but the car is currently painted brown. It will need a new paint job as the AZ sun has been working it's magic (see pics). Has AC, but the compressor needs to be replaced, otherwise should work fine. Vaccuum lines have all recently been replaced so headlights, windshield washers, etc work. Only defrost vent is not getting air. The front and rear window seals will need to be replaced as they are leaking slightly, but door window seals have been replaced. Car has all parts of the original jack except for the bumper hook. That will need to be found on salvage/ebay. This is a wonderful car that gets a ton of compliments whenever it is on the road. It would be an incredible project car. |

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.

NHTSA investigating Ford Fiesta for faulty door latches
Mon, 15 Sep 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary investigation on the 2011-2013 Ford Fiesta because the regulator has received 61 complaints from drivers, including one claim of an injury, about the doors on the subcompacts failing to latch and sometimes even flying open while driving. NHTSA has estimated that the problem could affect as many as 205,000 vehicles.
NHTSA is still gathering further data about the problem, but looking at the complaints so far, both front and rear doors appear to be potentially involved with the alleged failures. Among the reports, there are 12 claiming that the door opened while driving. Several also indicate the "Door Ajar" warning illuminating during this problem. The one purported injury happened when someone attempted to shut the door, and it bounced back.
Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker told Autoblog via email, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the report from NHTSA.
