Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Galaxie. This car originally came equipped with a 351 Windsor small block and FMX transmission, but a 429 from a 1970 Thunderbird was professionally rebuilt, mated with a C6 transmission, and put into the car. The entire drive train has less than 2000 miles on it after rebuild. The Torq Thrust wheels also have fresh tires on them with the same amount of mileage as the drive train. The cars power steering was made to work with the new setup and handles moving this classic car easily. Upgrades to the engine include, Mallory Ignition, Milodon Oil Pan, New Alternator Brackets, Edelbrock Valve Covers, and Edelbrock Carburetor. The C6 shifts very solidly and responds well to the big blocks torque and power. The engine turns over quickly, idles well, and sounds great through the era-correct glass pack dual exhaust mufflers. The front disc brakes do a good job of stopping this big car, and the suspension, albeit tired, is extremely comfortable to ride in; like a cruise ship on the ocean. The Trunk, containing a working spare, is solid with no rust through, as well as the body panels. There are a few imperfections and nicks in the paint. The chrome of the vehicle is in similar shape, great from a few feet away but showing its age up close, as cars of this era, without restoration, have a tendency to do. The interior would benefit from a good cleaning, but with excepection to a 2 inch tear in the back seat, the upholstery and carpet have held up well. The dash has a pad on it due to a crack underneath and the rear view and passenger side mirrors are included but not on the vehicle. Also included is a brand new convertible top. The current top operates correctly, opening and closing well, but bears the age of the vehicle and would benefit from being replaced with the new, proviced material. The water pump would also benefit from a new gasket against the block. Not major or expensive work, but a good idea for cruising on hot summer days. I have had this car for almost eight years and hate parting with it, but a new baby means she will have to sit outside in the cold if I don't part with it now and I hate to see that happen to such a great car. There were less than 8000 of these beauties made, and arguably less than half still exist. With a little love this car would make a great daily driver. It always turns heads and draws smiles when I take it to the beach here. As with all car sales this Galaxie 500 is sold as is and the winning bidder assumes responsibility for pick up or shipping. I will happily work with the winning bidder to get this vehicle to them after the sale. This car should be towed to its destination as it does not have valid tags.

2014 Ford Transit Connect configurator fires up for the whole family
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The second-generation Ford Transit Connect is almost upon us, and to get work- and family-oriented customers ready for the new model, Ford has launched a configurator for both van and wagon versions. Both body styles will go on sale early next year with the base TC Van starting at $22,000, but customers wanting side windows and rear seats will have to pony up at least an extra $3,000 for the TC Wagon.
Ford is definitely looking to get back into the family van business with the 2014 TC Wagon offering three available trim levels, two engines and the choice between five- and seven-passenger seating (with two wheelbases). Like many recent Ford products, a fancy Titanium trim level is offered, and opting for it will cost you - this trim starts at $29,000, and we were able to spec it out with a panoramic roof, tow package and front and rear parking sensors for a little over $33,000.
Businesses looking for a small, fuel-efficient work vehicle now get more options on the TC Van like the choice of split, hinged rear doors or a liftgate (with or without glass), a long wheelbase ($1,000) and Ford's CrewChief vehicle tracking system ($925). Fully loaded, this van is still costs less than the fullsize E-Series. On both Van and Wagon, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine is a $795 option, but it is only offered on short-wheelbase models and Ford has yet to release power or fuel economy specs yet. With the standard 2.5-liter engine, the TC will get up to 21 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway.
Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake to get limited production run
Mon, Dec 22 2014The upcoming Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang keeps grabbing a horde of headlines thanks in no small part to the pony car's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, magnetic dampers and other go-fast goodies. However, as the new contender enters the ring, Shelby American is saying goodbye to the old GT500 and the company's even more powerful Super Snake version with its new Signature Edition model. Limited to a total of 50 conversions on 2007-2014 coupe or convertible GT500s, the Shelby American Signature Edition packages some of buyers' most common choices into a single vehicle with a few extra touches, as well. The heart of it all is a 3.6-liter Kenne Bell supercharger to replace the V8's standard blower and take power up to a claimed 850 horsepower for the latest models. To keep things running at the proper temp, the mill gets an upgraded radiator, heat exchanger and aluminum cooling tanks, too. The rear brakes are also improved to slow this stallion down. In addition to the boosted power, buyers get some extra style. These special Super Snakes are available in all of the colors available on them from Ford, plus a range of shades for the stripe, and the wide body package can also be added as an additional option. The limited version wears 20-inch forged wheels from Weld that are 9.5-inches wide at the front and 10.5-inches at the rear and feature Signature Edition center caps. Inside, there's a commemorative badge with Shelby's signature on the airbag cover and Signature Edition floor mats. Finally, customers get a day training at the track to learn how to control this beast as part of the package. Orders for the Signature Edition are being accepted through January 31, 2015, and the modded model is priced at $44,995.00, which is in addition to the price of the stock GT500. Read below for Shelby American's full announcement of this limited Mustang. SHELBY AMERICAN'S SIGNATURE EDITION GT500 SUPER SNAKE PACKAGES TO HONOR FINAL 2007-2014 MODEL YEAR CARS NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE · Shelby American to offer 50 total Signature Edition Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snakes · Special badging and stripe colors offered for every model year for first time in history · Offer expires January 31, 2015 LAS VEGAS – Dec. 20, 2014 –Shelby American, a wholly owned subsidiary of Carroll Shelby International Inc. (CSBI:PK), has unveiled a Signature Edition Super Snake package to honor the end of production for the current generation Ford Shelby GT500.
2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions
Fri, 08 Mar 2013As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
