WOW! Never thought I would be posting this car for sale but retirement is looming and we are looking to relocate to Costa Rica. So here goes. One of a kind. Call it what you want Retro Rod, classic. whatever. Most just call it COOL! 1963 1/2 Galaxie XL. This car is professionally tubbed with backseat and full interior still in car. 4.30 Detroit locker with 4 wheel disc brakes. Weld wheels and Hoosier tires. The car was subject to a rotisserie restoration a few years back with no expense spared. The moldings, grill and bumpers were chromed at a cost of 8K. A Crites AFX hood has been added. 427 badging on the fenders. Originally a 352 car. The underside is painted white as well. This was a ZERO rust Texas car when I bought it about 25 years ago. Outstanding XL interior with nice console. Tilt wheel, POWER WINDOWS (rare) and under dash AC unit. The engine is often mistaken for a SOHC or Boss 9. In reality it is a 4.6 modular motor that I pulled the fuel injection off of. I built a 2 four intake and mounted 2 Edelbrock 500's on. Polished Sullivan valve covers and MSD coil packs made to look like a distributor fire the MSD Mod 6 box. 1 wire alternator and power rack and pinion steering as well. T 45 % speed. This is truly a Saturday night Barrett Jackson car. I have the car for sale locally as well. It will not be cheap but in this case quality cost. Clear Colorado title in my name. Located 25 miles form Denver. Call Dan with any questions at 785 250 1789

Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
Ford jumps back in the water with marinized 6.2L V8
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Nameplates like the Mercury Mariner and Lincoln Navigator aside, Ford hasn't offered a marine engine in over two decades. But through a new partnership with one of the biggest names in the business, the Dearborn-based automaker is dipping its proverbial toes back in the water.
Announced yesterday at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the new partnership between Ford Component Sales and Indmar Marine Engines will see the 6.2-liter V8 from the F-150 SVT Raptor and F-Series Super Duty marinized for use in boats.
The largest privately owned inboard gasoline marine engine manufacturer in the world, Indmar has been in the business for 43 years, and figures the Ford V8 will be just what watersport enthusiasts are looking for to tow waterskiers and wakeboarders to their hearts' content.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
