1962 Ford Galaxie 500 on 2040-cars
Providence, Rhode Island, United States
|
Up for grabs is a SUPER clean Ford Galaxie 500 XL Hard Top Kustom Low Rider.. All 4 windows roll down to expose the amazing look of the hard top ( no post) This is a Low rider that turns heads everywhere it goes. Its straight as an arrow, California car.. No rot or rust that I have found anywhere. This low low is set up with 2 chrome Viair pumps, Bagged on all 4 corners, Astro Supreme wheels with brand new pinner Hankook radials, Bellflower tips, 4 switches with psi indicators for left and right pumps. Has a FRESH 352 FE that has been rebuilt and only 5800 miles on it since the rebuild, no leaks or smoking at all. Doors are shaved and has, mild not wild, very nicely done pinstripping on the deck lid and on the hood. Custom silver interior. Custom steering wheel, Custom Grille, Faux Appleton spotlights, Paint is a very nice relaxing silver base with green topcoat and cleared over.. Roof is silver but could use a nice new coat of clear.. I was gonna use the silver base and panel it with heavy metal flake. Has a CD player in the glove box in good working condition. This is not in show car condition with $20k paint.. but expect to gather a big crowd around it everywhere you go. Transmission is very strong. Beautiful chrome bumpers. I have driven this car confidently 200+ miles runs.. I will also throw in a brand new Edlebrock Intake and Nice Finned MT valve covers..
The only issues I have seen and their not really issues at all to me, but couple of the dash knobs are missing and when its " laying frame" you have to put it in the neutral position. This is due to the Neutral Safety Switch position as the car lays on the ground. And only other thing is a very small leak in one of the hoses and very small leak in the 5gal tank very very easily fixed, as I was gonna upgrade to .. Very cheap and easy fixes. Wasnt a deal killer for me when I purchased it, just never got around to fixing. Small almost out of site, scrape on right front corner of the bumper, I believe the previous owner in California pulled in somewhere with the car too low and bottomed out.. and lastly the e-brake pedal is depressed all the way to the floor, It appears p.o bypassed the e-brake.. again not an issue for me cause I lay frame when I park and trust me, car isnt moving anywhere!! Please bid in confidence, DO NO BID IF YOUR NOT SURE.. Last thing I want is Tire kickers.. Please have positive feedback when bidding. I will not pay for shipping but will work with buyer very and do everything I can in my power to help load the car.. I have listed this to the best of my ability. If your offering trades i would only be interested in 1927-1940 Fords ( coupes or roadster) with equal value.. This vehicle will also be up for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The reserve is set lower than what the car is worth. Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

2015 Mustang-based Saleen S302 to boast as much as 640 hp
Tue, 23 Sep 2014The Ford Mustang is obviously a famous performance vehicle in its own right, but it often works even better as a platform for the aftermarket to upgrade. With the all-new 2015 model just now hitting the scene, the famous tuners at Saleen are getting their improvements for the new pony car ready for the world. After recently teasing it, the specs for its fresh S302 model are officially here, along with a first look at it in profile.
Of course, the biggest question on everyone's mind is how much power the company can get from the Mustang's V8. With the 2015 V8 model rated at 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet, Saleen expects to bump the Ford factory numbers slightly to 450 hp and 410 lb-ft in naturally aspirated form, or with the benefit of a supercharger, it will rocket the engine's output figures to 640 hp and 565 lb-ft. No matter which powerplant a buyer chooses, there are a wide variety of available final-drive ratios with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox.
Available as either a coupe or convertible forms, Saleen will offer its S302 in three trim levels - White Label, Yellow Label and Black Label. The White Label is the only naturally aspirated one of the bunch, but it still benefits from upgrades like a new exhaust, limited-slip differential, improved suspension, heat extractor hood and rear wing.
