1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible on 2040-cars
Laguna Beach, California, United States
|
Just as the Space Race was starting in the 1960’s, so was Ford’s production of the Galaxie, which is where the model received its name. This California classic has been with a family for years with original paint and an 8 y/o restoration.The owner has gone completely through the car from top to bottom, inside and out. As far as we know, all engine and transmission numbers match. Everything under the hood is brand new. They rebuilt the original engine (under 1 yr. warranty), put brand new, corrected exhaust on the car, new radiator, new master cylinder, carburetor, water pump, window cranks have been replaced, the interior is restored correctly with the original paint still sitting on the dash. The car has been maintained by one of the finest classic car garages in the country at Hemingway Motors in Santa Ana, California, with the owner Walt looking over every single detail of the car. The convertible top is brand new and goes up and down with ease. They installed seat belts in the car, which was an option at the time, on both front and rear seats. The ’62 Galaxie has new breaks, new front shocks, new power steering pump. The car carries the big 390 police interceptor motor with police interceptor valve covers. This is one of the finest examples of a ’62 Ford Galaxie Sunlier Convertible XL 500 that we’ve ever seen offered for sale from one of the most respectable classic car dealerships in southern California, located in beautiful Laguna Beach. Everything is correct on this car. |

How Ford secretly used customers to test its aluminum F-150 [w/video]
Fri, 30 May 2014Automakers getting clever about disguising development vehicles isn't anything new. Between mules wearing the sheetmetal of other cars and prototypes decked out in as much camouflage as is practical, automakers know how to make it very difficult for the general public to get an exact idea of what kind of vehicle is in development. Ford, though, is rapidly becoming the master.
We knew that the Blue Oval originally tested the durability of the aluminum construction being used for the 2015 F-150 by building an all-aluminum 2014 truck and entering it in the Baja 1000 off-road race. That's no longer a secret. What we didn't know, though, is that the aluminum development dates back to before even that, and that some of the people in question had no idea what it was they were working with.
Ford says this is the first time prototypes have ever been handed over to the public.
Shelby to auction 2012 GT350 No. 1 in Vegas
Thu, 19 Sep 2013With Shelby preparing to wind down production of its brutal GT350, a 624-horsepower Mustang that's meant to go up against the Roush Stage 3 in the world of tuned Ford ponycars, the Las Vegas-based tuner is looking to give back to one lucky customer. It'll auction off the very first GT350 ever produced, at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas, a three-day event that runs from September 26 through September 28.
The GT350 is a monster, with a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8 that's been tuned well past 600 horsepower in a time when Ford's own Shelby-branded GT500 barely reached 550 horsepower. The GT350 is much louder than Ford's effort, too, both visually and audibly. The wide body look isn't what we'd call conventional, but on a car that sounds and goes like this, something extreme is needed. According to Shelby American's vice president of production, Gary Davis, "Carroll was very excited about the new wide body option, so that was included on this car. It's the first 2012 GT350 serial number from our anniversary year. It is a very special car." Wilwood brakes, a massaged suspension, and some very fat, sticky tires add to the Shelby experience.
This particular GT350 will be lot number 750, and will cross the Barrett-Jackson stage on Sunday, September 28.
Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest
Tue, 01 Apr 2014New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).
