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

EU formally questions French government assistance of Peugeot's finance arm
Fri, 28 Dec 2012Recently, the finance arm of PSA/Peugeot-Citroën was in such debt trouble that it was pricing itself out of the car loan market. The rates it was paying to service its debt, which was rated one step above junk, were so high that it was forced to charge car-buying customers higher rates than they could find elsewhere. This was adding to Peugeot's already impressive woes by sending revenue out the door to competitors.
Two months ago a deal was worked out with the French government whereby the state would provide 7 billion euro ($9 billion USD) in bonds to guarantee the finance arm's loans. The French government could nominate someone to join the Peugeot board, Peugeot would guarantee more French jobs, and on top of that deal, other banks would provide non-guaranteed loans. The government would take no equity stake in the car company.
Although not yet finalized, the arrangement is meant to create some breathing room for Peugeot Finance to lower its interest rates for customers, and a government-nominated board member, Louis Gallois, was recently named to Peugeot's supervisory board. The arrangement was also openly questioned by at least three competitors: Ford, Renault - which is 15-percent owned by the French government after it received state aid - and the German state of Lower Saxony, itself a 15-percent shareholder in Volkswagen.
Ford Australia pulls the ol' talking car prank
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Siri from Apple has proven that being able to talk to your technology doesn't always work perfectly. But what if it could eventually go far enough to give a personality to inanimate objects like our cars? Ford took just this path to comedic effect by playing a prank on many unsuspecting Australians, in a new commercial for its EcoSport compact crossover.
The Aussies seem very nonchalant about having a random parked car talk to them, and they seem surprisingly game when it asks them to get in, call a celebrity and tell a joke. (We're guessing there are some hilarious outtakes, too.) Scroll down to watch some folks from Down Under have a conversation with Ford's CUV.
Ford Fiesta ST orders off to strong start
Fri, 17 May 2013We at Autoblog love the new little Ford Fiesta ST, and apparently, folks in Europe are pretty impressed with it, as well. According to Ford, the automaker's European arm has already logged 3,000 orders for the new hot hatch since it hit dealerships this March. The US-spec car, which will only be available as a five-door, will go on sale in the United States this summer.
What's perhaps most interesting about the Fiesta ST ordering is that the majority of customers appear to be ordering high-spec cars. According to Ford data, 60 percent of customers have opted for the leather interior with Recaro buckets, and 90 percent have selected the upgraded 17-inch wheels (seen on our test car, above). Spirit Blue has been the most popular color, commanding 27 percent of all orders. As for the technology upgrades, 19 percent of customers have ponied up for the Sony stereo with navigation.
To recap, the Fiesta ST is offered with Ford's 1.6-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, putting out 179 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. We had an absolute blast flinging the hot Fiesta through the French Alps, and we can't wait for this sharp little hatch to make its way over to the States.
