TONIGHT I AM OFFERING FOR THE 1ST TIME MY 1963 & 1/2 FORD GALAXIE FAST BACK 2 DOOR HARDTOP. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A LIL OVER 1 YEAR. I WAS FIXING IT UP FOR MY SON, WHO JUST GOT HIS LISCENSE. AS TIME WHEN ON I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GIVE HIM THIS CAR. AS A PARENT I THINK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WITH THIS KIND OF POWER & HIM BEING A NEW DRIVER AT 16 YEARS OLD THIS HAS MADE MY DECISION FOR HIM NOT TO HAVE THIS AUTOMOBILE. THIS CAR RUNS & WILL YARD DRIVE. THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR. THIS FORD HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD & IN STORAGE SINCE JULY 8TH OF 1981. I DO HAVE THE TITLE FOR THIS CAR BUT IT WAS FILLED OUT ON THIS DATE & IN SOME TIME THE WINDSHEILD HAD CRACKED. IT WAS PUT AWAY IN THE GARAGE AND NEVER FIXED. AND THE CAR WAS NEVER REGISTERED. THE MILEAGE READS 47,506. IT HAS NO MILEAGE ON THE TITLE THEREFORE I CANNOT VERIFY IF THIS IS THE TRUE MILEAGE OR NOT. I HAVE PUT A CARTER 4 BARREL CARBURETOR ON THIS, IT IS A 4 BARREL CARBURETOR WITH ELECTRIC CHOKE. THE ELECTRIC CHOKE IS NOT HOOKED UP. THE CAR CAME WITH A FACTORY AUTOLITE CARBURETOR 4 BAL WHICH COULD NOT BE REBUILT THIS IS WHY I WENT WITH THE CARTER. OTHER THAN THE CARBURETOR EVERYTHING ON THIS AUTOMOBILE IS FACTORY STOCK MATCHING #'S. THE CAR WAS ORDERED 3 SPEED MANUAL SHIFT 3 ON THE TREE, IT WAS ALSO ORDER WITH FACTORY POWER STEERING. AND FACTORY OVERDRIVE. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH. I HAVE REMOVED THE BRAKE SHOES & SPRINGS AS THEY WERE FROZE FROM ALL THESE YEARS SITTING. THE RIGHT REAR SHOES , SPRINGS ARE STILL ON IT. THE BOX YOU SEE IN THE PIC'S IS ALL THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKES I REMOVED. ALL THE SHOES ARE INCLUDED ALSO. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE AIR BREATHER & 1 EXTRA HUB CAP. THE GENERATOR LIGHT STAYS ON, THE GENERATOR NEEDS TO BE REBUILT WITH NEW BRUSHES. NEXT : I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER WITH A REBUILT, THE OLD STARTER COMES WITH THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO PUT ALL NEW PLUGS IN IT, THE CAP ROTOR, POINT & CONDENSER WERE STILL GOOD SO I DID NOT REPLACE THEM. THE SPARK PLUG WIRES WERE OLD & BRITTLE SO I REPLACED THEM WITH SOME OLD ONES I HAD. BEFORE I HAD ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS OLD GIRL RUNNING AGAIN, I FILLED EVERY CYLINDER WITH MARVIN'S MYSTERY OIL & LET IT SOAK. THE OIL IS STILL IN THE MOTOR TO THIS DAY. THE 390 MOTOR RUNS GOOD, NO ROD RAPS OR LIFTER NOISE. IT HAS 1 STICKY EXAUST VALVE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE RIGHT BANK. I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE & HAVE THE VALVE COME DOWN & HIT THE PISTON, I HAVE THE PUSH ROD FOR IT. THE VALVE IS STUCK ON THE OPEN POSITION JUST RIGHT, SO YOU WOULD ALMOST NEVER KNOW IT, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES IN ALL GEARS 1ST, 2ND, 3RD, & REVERSE, THE CAR GOES ON ITS OWN POWER. I HAVE ALSO PUT A FAIRLY NEW BATTERY IN THIS, AND A STARTER CYLINOID, AND VALVE COVER GASKETS. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, THEY ARE BIAS WHITE WALL TIRES. ALL THE SPOTS YOU SEE ON THE BODY WERE DONE MANY YEARS AGO & WERE THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. LOOK AT THE PIC'S CLOSELY, THERE IS SOME ROT ON THE FLOOR PANS. THE GAS TANK IS JUNK. THE GAS CAN WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THE RAIL AROUND THE TRIM MOLDING FOR THE TRUNK NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE BRACE ACROSS THAT HOLDS THE GAS TANK WHICH IS NOTORIOUS FOR THESE FORDS IS ROTTED. THERE ARE 2 SPOTS JUST BEHIND THE TAIL LIGHTS INSIDE THE TRUNK. I HAVE THE OTHER ROCKER MOLDING BUT THE CLIPS ARE MISSING. ALL THE WINDOWS ROLL UP & DOWN NICELY. THE ROCKERS ARE SOLID, INNER & OUTTER. THE DOORS OPEN WITH EASE & CLOSE NICELY. I HAVE THE TRUNK LOCK BUT NO KEY FOR IT. THE CAR STILL HAS AN ORIGINAL EXHAUSE ON IT WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED RIGHT DOWN TO THE RESINATERS. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME TO MY HOME & INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE YOU BID. BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 100 FEED BACKS, ARE TO CALL ME BEFORE YOU BID WITH ALL YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. I WANT THIS TO GO AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE FOR BUYER & SELLER. PLEASE ASK ANY & ALL QUESTIONS. CALL JOHNNY G AT 352 347 1465. THEY WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO SHOW 24 PIC'S, BUT I HAVE MANY MORE AND WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE WHAT EVER YOU NEED. THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD IN AS IS AS DESCRIBED CONDITION WITH NO RESERVE & NO RETURNS. DEPOSIT THROUGH PAYPAL OF $200.00, AND THE BALANCE TO BE PAID UPON PICK UP.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy
Sun, 31 Aug 2014Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).
Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang
Thu, Dec 4 2014Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.
