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.

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.

Ford workers vote to ratify new four-year UAW contract

Sat, Nov 16 2019

DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union said on Friday that rank-and-file members at Ford have voted in favor of a new four-year labor contract with the No. 2 U.S. automaker. The UAW will now focus on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the sole remaining Detroit automaker without a new labor contract. Talks with FCA are expected to begin on Monday, a UAW spokesman said. The union said 56.3% of Ford's hourly workers voted to approve the deal, which allowed the company to avoid a strike like the one that cost its larger rival General Motors about $3 billion (GBP2.3 billion). UAW leaders said earlier this month that Ford under the deal agreed to invest more than $6 billion in its U.S. plants, and to create or retain more than 8,500 UAW jobs. The deal also includes pay raises and lump-sum payments over the life of the contract, a pathway to full-time employment for temporary employees and unchanged healthcare coverage. Workers at GM approved a deal in late October that ended a contentious 40-day U.S. strike, the longest automotive labor stoppage since 1970. Detailed terms of the Ford deal — released just a week after GM workers approved their new contract — echoed those agreed to with GM, as the union typically uses the first deal as a template for those that follow. UAW leaders managed contract negotiations with Ford and GM, including the lengthy strike, while struggling with an ongoing federal corruption probe. To date, 10 people have pleaded guilty in connection with the criminal investigation into illegal payoffs. Just last week former UAW vice president and former GM board member Joseph Ashton was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. Earlier this month the UAW said that its president, Gary Jones, who had been linked to the ongoing corruption probe, was taking a leave of absence. Rory Gamble, the union's acting head, said last week he will examine every department of the union in response to the spreading federal corruption probe to prevent future misuse of members' dues.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks

Thu, Oct 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.
