1959 Ford Galaxie Retractable Skyliner on 2040-cars
Madison, Tennessee, United States
|
Beautiful 1959 Ford Galaxie Retractable Skyliner. I mainly buy/sell/collect Packards but occasionally deal in 50s American classics and this one is a really nice survivor. I drove this car home 10 miles in stop and go traffic and it performed well with no problems. It has obviously been well taken care of and everything matches the VIN info perfect. I took the pics under the carport to show the deepness of the paint, it's not show quality paint but very presentable. Chrome bumpers very nice and brightwork nice as well. Interior very nice, dash very nice, door panels very nice, undercarriage clean, brand new Coker WWW, engine clean bay and engine clean & detailed with fresh paint on air cleaner and valve covers--I've been told the valve covers and air cleaner were Red but also could be Orange. When I bought the car I was told everything worked perfect, the top was down and I closed it, it worked perfect and I drove it home. The next time I retracted the top everything worked perfect until the front roof finished unscrewing and then it would not fully unlock the two rear roof locks. I'm by no means an expert on these Ford retractables but have been told it simply needs a "Tray Limit Switch".
As I say with all the cars I sell it is not my intention to mislead the buyer in any way so please ask any questions you may have and I'll answer them honestly. The reserve is well below the NADA avg. for these cars and the car is definitely nicer than avg.condition. The car has 63902 miles and I was told that was correct. Here is the VIN info and it all matches correctly: VIN: C9EW284742

Overseas buyers are welcome but please be prepared to pay and arrange Shipping, I've used Fromm America for overseas shipping with no problems--they are very good. On May-08-14 at 15:40:47 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a question about the deck & top so I thought I would post this to help clarify. Deck lid is fully closed now and not stuck at all. The deck lid opens up perfect and when it stops the front of the roof uncrews perfect and then when the roof starts to retract it doesn't unlock at rear of roof unlocking areas--it wants to retract and you can tell everything is working except the unlocking part. Also, front bumper on is not dented it's just the refelction. |

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Woman reunited with stolen Mustang after 28 years
Sun, Dec 28 2014An enthusiast Christmas story: Salinas, California resident Lynda Alsip bought a 1967 Ford Mustang in 1984 when she was 17 years old, having saved $800 after a summer of toil at a grocery store. She got a vanity plate that read "LYNDA67," for the year she was born, but she only got to enjoy the car for two years: in 1986, after a night out, someone stole it from her apartment complex. She hadn't seen it since. Then a man – another Salinas resident – tried to register the car at the DMV this year. He said he bought it as a project car in 1991, yet the DMV couldn't find any record of it. The DMV office sent the case of the untraceable car to the California Highway Patrol, where Officer Christopher Menchen dug into the records, and his search paid off. The officer located Alsip's stolen record report from 1986 and connected the Mustang to it's registered owner in 1986, who was Alsip's mother. The CHP found the forest green Mustang in the man's garage, and they figure it's been there since 1991. After waiting through the still-ongoing three-month investigation, the CHP reunited Alsip – now a wife and a mother of two – with her car on December 22. It's undriveable, but her original vanity plate is back on and she plans to restore it. The video above has the story.

Ford S-Max Concept proves minivans aren't always minivans [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Ford's latest don't-call-it-a-minivan is called the S-Max Concept, and it's a looker. As you can see, the conceptual overgrown hatch makes good use of Ford's latest design language, especially at the very front of the S-Max, which bears a striking resemblance to production models that include the Focus, C-Max and Fusion.
Powering the S-Max Concept is a 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine, and while Ford doesn't actually list power figures for the concept, previous estimates put the mill at 133 kW of power (about 178 horsepower) and 240 Nm of torque (about 177 pound-feet). Inside, there's room for seven passengers and at least some of their luggage.
As you'd expect, the S-Max is loaded up with all of Ford's latest infotainment technology, including Sync and MyFordTouch. More interestingly, there are also onboard heart and blood glucose monitors that we doubt will be seeing the light of production anytime soon. On that topic, don't expect to see any S-Max-shaped vehicles hitting the US market from Ford, either. Scroll down below for the press release, but not before checking out the high-res image gallery above.
