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. |

Ford blimp crashes inside Portland Trail Blazers arena
Fri, Dec 5 2014Portland basketball fans got a free, very safe recreation of the Hindenburg disaster when a Ford airship crashed into the stands during a game between the Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers. Reportedly no one was hurt, but arena staff trying to push the inflatable vehicle through a hole it was too big for, made for some fantastic video and photos. This content is hosted by a third party.

The first gives an idea of just how hard it was to fit the blimp through the exit of the arena, and the second is a time-lapse look from someone right next to the action. All these clips need is Yakety Sax as background music for some true Internet gold. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ford Australia launches Falcon GT F 351, last of its line [w/video]
Sun, 15 Jun 2014It's always best to go out with a bang rather than a whimper, and Ford Performance Vehicles is doing just that in Australia with the Falcon GT F 351. It's the most powerful road car the Aussie performance brand has ever made with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 471 horsepower (351 kilowatts) and 420 pound-feet of torque. It's joined by the FPV Pursuit Ute with the same powerplant tuned to 422 hp and 402 lb-ft. Sadly, the last F in this Falcon's name stands for Final.
The GT F 351 is a monumental way to go out, though. It harkens back to the old days of Aussie muscle Fords, and the 351kw output is meant to reference the classic Falcon GT and its 351-cubic-inch V8. In addition to the massive power, the F has the improved suspension from the R-Spec model and Brembo brake calipers.
FPV is building just 500 GT F sedans for Australia and 50 more for New Zealand, plus 120 Pursuit Utes. They feature a blacked-out hood and black stripes over the hood and sides, plus gloss black accents around the headlights, door handles and mirrors.
Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
