I am selling my 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD Postless Fastback Coupe. This vehicle is a true classic timepiece from the mid 60's. This is not a barn find nor was it a restoration job. This vehicle was maintained and preserved the right way from day 1 and never in any accidents or fender benders. This is the base model with its original matching number 352ci with Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. Exterior is in excellent shape considering its age. Has all its original glass in tact with no cracks or scratches. Interior is in great shape with no rips or torn material including the dash board with no cracks. Engine Compartment, Trunk, Frame,Undercarriage and floors are solid with no rust or rot holes. Laser straight body lines with no dents anywhere. This is a turn key type of vehicle which can be driven anywhere anytime and is an everyday driver and not a trailer queen. Has always been stored indoors in a climate controlled environment and never driven in rain or snow. Rides very tight and quiet with no rattles or shakes. It can get out of trouble just as fast as it got into. In other words is a stealthy sleeper. I also have the original 2 rear fender skirts for the tires and 14 inch wheels with original Galaxie hubcaps which will also come with the car along with the 15 inch Cragars which are on the car now with new whitewall tires. I also have the original Galaxie keys and owners manual. The original radio still works great, and has a new updated radio with cd mounted under dash board with new speakers on the rear dash. These type of mid year Galaxies are getting harder and harder to find these days in this condition. If you don't believe me just try looking for a clean, solid, unmolested 1965 and you will see exactly what I mean. Today you could not restore this car for my asking price never mind trying to find a good clean solid one to begin with. It took me almost 4 years to find the right one to turn into a Pro Street project but this one is in too good of shape to cut up and tub out. You could buy it today and cruise tonight to your favorite spots around town or bring it to your local car shows and show it off. I get compliments and thumbs up everywhere I go and it does pretty good at the car shows too attracting all sorts of great people and the stories they have about their family members owning one of these timeless classics. I am not a car dealer, I am a collector/enthusiast/hobbyist who enjoys these type of vehicles. Interesting Trades will be considered and may be accepted for a pre 1972 Ford, Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, Oldsmobile, Mopar, Pontiac, Classic Car, Muscle Car, Hot Rod. or Cash is always the best trade. If interested you can e-mail me through ebay or call me direct at Three,Three,Nine - Two,Two,Five - Eight,Seven,Five,Five and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. I also have an online photo album of the car with many more pictures and I would be happy to send you the link for it.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
Watch these videos of an NHRA racer's bodywork blowing off into a crowd
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Just a few months ago, fan safety at racetracks was a hot topic following the last-lap NASCAR Nationwide Series crash at Daytona that sent large pieces of racecars into the grandstands injuring 33 fans. Now, a freak incident at a National Hot Rod Association event resulted in a drag racer's bodywork flying into the crowd at the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals in Charlotte over the weekend. The carbon-fiber body of Robert Hight's Ford Mustang funny car blew off toward the end of a run when his engine exploded, but fortunately, the two fans evaluated after the incident were later released without serious injury.
As you can see in the image above, the body flew high into the air before landing on a walkway in front of the grandstands, a bit of happenstance that likely gave most fans enough time and space to move out of the way. Scroll down to watch a couple of videos showing what happened, including one from a fan's perspective that also reveals what appears to be part of the body's metal bracing landing dangerously close to the crowd.
