Please read the entire description before bidding! You are bidding on a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Sunliner. My father purchased this car with the intention of recreating the 406 4 speed that he bought new in 1962. . The car is an original 390 automatic. He began collecting parts to convert it to a 406 with Tri-power and the 4 speed manual transmission. Unfortunately he lost his battle to cancer and never got the chance to do so. I do not have enough time myself to finish converting the car so I have decided to sell it. The car was repainted prior to my dad purchasing it. The body is very solid and straight. The odometer reads 12,xxx miles but I would assume it is actually 112,xxx. We had a custom canvas convertible top installed on the car to update the look. A high end upholstery shop made the top and did an amazing job. The top alone cost $1800. As you can see in the pictures, it sits on a set of 17" Shelby style wheels and Nitto performance tires. The tires are practically brand new. The chrome appears to be original and would need to be re-chromed to be show quality. It still presents fairly well but does have some pitting. The car runs and drives good. It might need a neutral safety switch or something because you have to put the car in neutral to start it. It will not start in Park. Everything else appears to work, including the power windows and power top. The auction is for only for the car, with the original 390 and automatic transmission. Note: The engine pictured and additional conversion parts are not included in the auction! I have the 406 motor, tri-power, shorty headers, 4 speed transmission, rear, new performance clutch, manual pedals, and other conversion parts that I will sell separately. I would work out a package deal with the car for the right price. The motor was purchased from Pop's Performance center. It is fresh and includes their "street heat" performance heads. I do not have a lot of details other than what is listed. I will try to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please only bid if you are serious and have the funds to purchase the car. |

Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Ford reveals all-new Everest SUV at Asia-Pacific forum [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Nov 2014While the Explorer may have shifted from a truck-based sport-ute to a car-based crossover, Ford still offers buyers on the other side of the Pacific a Ranger-based SUV in the form of the Everest. And at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Beijing today, the Blue Oval revealed the all-new version you see here.
Previewed in concept form over a year ago and made specifically for the Asia-Pacific market, the new Ford Everest is designed to be more refined on the road and more capable off of it. Like the Explorer once was, the new Everest is based on a stretched version of the overseas Ford Ranger pickup. Depending on the specific market, Ford will offer the new Everest with a range of engines including a 2.0-liter EcoBoost turbo four and two Duratorq turbodiesels - a 2.2-liter four and a 3.2-liter inline-five - mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Earmarked to take on the likes of the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX) and the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Everest promises rock-crawlers even better off-road capabilities. It's got nearly nine inches of ground clearance, over 30 inches of wading depth, a 29-degree approach and 25-degree departure angles and a set of features including on-the-fly adjustable four-wheel drive.
Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
