1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Custom California Classic Hot Rod Station Wagon on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
1961 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan station wagon. This is a restored car with a completely professionally rebuilt 302 V8 and new AOD Automatic Overdrive Transmission with about 10,000 miles on the car since restoration. The 302 has a 2 bbl carb, runs strong and sounds great with the headers and side pipes. The AOD transmission is a really nice modern touch for this classic and we kept the shifter on the column. Radiator is new and this car will run all day in the summer without overheating. There's a nice temp gage installed under the dash. I get more thumbs up on the highway from this than any other car I've had. You just don't find these in this shape anymore without rust.
The paint is about 3 years old. There's no rust on this car anywhere. I included photos of the spare tire chamber and the area forward of the spare under the bed where you can see the original red paint and no rust damage. Vintage Cragar Keystone mag wheels. The rear wheel skirts were painted to match and are included with the car. I like the look without them but they can be put on easily. The molding, emblems and trim pieces are in really nice shape. All the doors and windows open and close as they should. The front bumper was re-chromed but all the other trim has its original patina. Grille is straight without any damage. Engine compartment was also restored and has a clean look. There's lots to show off on this car. Dash is original, not cut and painted to match the top as are the rest of the interior trim pieces. Rare electric window in the tailgate works great using the toggle switch on the dash. Floors were painted black and there is no rust. Seat covers are original. You can finish the interior to your taste or leave it as is. I have the headliner bows and they go with the car. All of the glass is original Ford Motor Co. script glass. Title is clear, in my name and there are no hidden DMV fees. Everything is current. Neat old classic wagon that was done right with style and can be driven home anywhere.

Ford books $2.6B pretax quarterly profit
Thu, 24 Jul 2014While its crosstown competitors at General Motors are smarting over a drastic drop in net income to $200 million in the second quarter, Ford has reason to celebrate. The Blue Oval has announced its own Q2 financial results, including a growing net income of $1.3 billion, a $78 million increase over last year. Pretax profits for the company reached $2.6 billion, up $44 million from 2013, but total revenue dropped slightly to $37.4 billion, down from $37.9 billion. Profits per share before one-time charges totaled 40 cents per share, beating Wall Street analysts' expectations of 36 cents a share.
Regionally, the Blue Oval performed strongly, as well. North America posted a record quarterly pre-tax profit of $2.4 billion, a $119 million increase. Europe also showed signs of turn around with its first profit in three years of $14 million after a loss of $306 million in Q2 2013. Ford is actually predicting profitability in the troubled region in 2015. Asia Pacific operations also performed well with $159 million in profits, up $29 million from last year. The only region where the business posted a loss was South America.
According to Automotive News, Ford also announced more precise plans about the changeover to build the aluminum-intensive 2015 F-150. In August, the Dearborn plant will shutdown for eight weeks to retool and its Kansas City plant will do the same next year.
Rolling footage of the 2015 Ford Mustang hits YouTube [w/video]
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Just in time for the holidays: Ford took the 2015 Mustang to Route 66 to cook up rolling footage, and we've been given some of the leftovers ahead of the meal. There are no burnouts, no donuts, no revving, and thankfully, no music. It's just two minutes and 26 seconds of the new pony car running free in the desert.
So in case you needed more visualizing help, the video below will help you start imagining how you'll look in your 2014 Christmas present to yourself...
Ford GT to be revived, Le Mans battle upcoming
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Ford dominated the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 to 1969, scoring four consecutive wins. Wouldn't it be great if the Blue Oval could go back to France for the 50th anniversary of that performance and show it can still compete in international endurance racing? Actually, the latest rumors indicate that could be exactly the case, and the car taking that checkered flag could be another revival of the Ford GT.
As the rumblings go, Ford wants to use a new supercar to take another crack at Le Mans, after considering some other possible alternatives. Substantiating these musings are reports that a Blue Oval rep was reportedly on hand for a recent meeting about 2016 GTE-Class rules, according to Road and Track. That would put the new GT in the same racing class as the Corvette, Ferrari 458 Italia, Porsche 911 and others.
It's not all about racing, though. If you win on Sunday, you want something to be able to sell on Monday. The revived GT is reportedly still a mid-engine supercar, but the exact engine is unclear. It's possible that it could even be shown or announced at the Detroit auto show in January, according to Motor Trend.
