1965 Ford Galaxie Red on 2040-cars
Yonkers, New York, United States
|
This awesome Galaxie 500 has been professionally re-formed into a mildly modified 100% street legal muscle car. A few modifications have been added. She was built and dressed as a 427ci p engine with mid-rise 427ci 425hp heads and manifold, dual Ford aluminum quad intake with two, new Holley 600cfm carburetors. A 427ci solid lifter cam & a dual point distributor from a 63 1/2 Ford. The car is equipped with an MSD electronic ignition and cooled by a high capacity radiator. The car runs at a perfect 185 degrees. Hooker Competition Headers and dual Flow Masters add to the fun! Behind the 425hp engine is a very strong and brand new, all steel Borg Warner T-10 4 speed transmission with a HURST shifter and heavy duty drive shaft. New heavy duty clutch & clutch plate was also replaced recently. The rear axle assembly is a Detroit Locker with Richmond 4.10 gears and 31 Spline axles in a Ford 9" nodular casing. A competition engineered custom 4-foot ladder bar has been added to the rear suspension along with all chrome Molley rounded tubing, cross-members, supports, new springs and air shocks to add to the incredible performance of this car. To top it all off, a fiberglass Thunderbolt hood has been added. The level of workmanship on this car is amazing from top to bottom. Every inch of this restoration has been thought out to the last detail and it shows. Although a true performance package has been added to this Galaxie 500, it is still a very tame street cruiser when you want it to be. Long drives are a pleasure. With all the Engine Talk out of the way, this car still retains alot of its originality as well. The body is 100% rust free and all steel. No bondo. It was originally bought in FlagStaff Arizona until it was brought to NY in 2008. The car has been beautifully refinished in its original Rangoon Red and is nearly perfect as is the chrome and trim. The interior is incredible and has all new red rolled upholstery and headliner. All safety equipment such as headlamps, brake lights and signals work properly. The heater, gauges and odometer work as they should. The speedometer is not working. Windows roll up & down easily. This is a factory RADIO DELETE car. Mileage reads 76000 which is correct. She rides on 16" period correct American Racing Torque Thrust rims on 4 new Falken Tires... 225/60s in the front and 235/60 in the rear. Overall, in our opinion, this is a solid, much better than average #2++ car that is 100% roadworthy, safe and completely reliable. it is a car that was plentiful in its day but is rarely seen today, especially at this level and condition. Feel free to ask questions. Road tests are welcome. If youd like to fly in and see her, we will pick you up at any local NY airport. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! |

Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout
Fri, 07 Jun 2013Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.
Shelby Cobra, Mercedes 300SL and 1947 Woodie from Petersen Museum headed to auction
Mon, 29 Jul 2013The changes happening at the Petersen Museum have been making the rounds in major press, but it probably won't be until August 18, during Pebble Beach, when we get the full story on what's happening; that's where and when museum reps plan on announcing the way forward for the SoCal institution. In the meantime, the museum is still reorganizing its collection, and that means auctioning some of its showpieces at this weekend's Auctions America event in Burbank.
Three of the stars are a 1964 Shelby Cobra 289, one of less than 20 produced with a three-speed C-4 automatic transmission, a 1960 Mercedes-Benz 300SL owned by actor Robert Stack and the last 1948 Ford Sportsman 'Woodie' ever produced. The Cobra, now restored to its original white exterior and red leather interior, was a factory demonstrator that first sold for $5,250. Showing just 38,950 miles on the odometer, its pre-sale estimate is $800,000 to $1 million.
The 300SL is actually a 1957 model but wasn't titled until Robert Stack took possession in 1960. The lead actor in the The Untouchables TV series used to drive by the Sunset Boulevard Mercedes dealership to ogle the car, but couldn't justify spending the money to buy it. When he and the producer of The Untouchables won Emmys for the show, the producer, who happened to be Desi Arnaz, bought the car for Stack. He owned it his whole life, it has been left as Stack drove it and still bears the California license plate "UNTCHBL."
