Up for auction is a 1966 Galaxie 500 Convertible. It retains its original 289 2V engine and automatic transmission. Options include power steering, manual brakes, and a power top. The car will need a full restoration. It will start with the keys while being fed from a small gas tank under the car. The cars gas tank is not hooked up and I would want to run a bunch of junk through the carb anyway. The electrical system on the Galaxie seems to be in good shape. The headlights come on and off with the switch and change with dim/bright switch, turn signals both front and rear work, flashers, and best of all the power top goes up and down great. The windows roll up and down good, doors open,shut, lock, etc. as they should. The interior of the car is in pretty fair shape for being original. The piping on the driver side of the front bench seat has a small piece missing and there is a tear when you pull the driver side of the bench forward that can only see when it is forward. The carpet is in usable shape. The dash has a few cracks in it but overall very usable. The windshield will need replaced along with the top material. I have several misc. pieces and parts to throw in with the car. including a complete taillight for the drivers side and several trim pieces. Also included is new top material in white, a water pump which will need replacing, and the original carb. As far as the body is concerned, the floors have had a patch on the passenger side, the frame is very solid, front fenders doors, hood, and trunk lid are in restorable condition. It will need a driver side rear quarter and trunk pan. The main part of the trunk is in great shape but the drivers side was messed up when the car was backed into something. The car will come with 4 14" steel wheels and tires that will work for transport. The car is not drivable at this time. It will need trailered to its new home. I can work out delivery for a fee within a couple hundred miles. Please call or email with any questions 765-376-3486 Thanks and Happy bidding!!!

Are you a new Ford Mustang SVO? [w/video]

Fri, 16 May 2014

When Ford announced that its 2015 Mustang would arrive with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, three letters came to mind: SVO. While Ford hasn't said a word regarding the rebirth of a Mustang SVO model, this latest set of spy shots shows us something very, very interesting. Allow us to explain.
The Mustang prototype in these photos looks very similar to the GT500 test cars we've spotted before - same bulging hood, aggressive front fascia and air vents aft of the front wheels. What's different, however, is around back. Have a look at the exhaust, and note that instead of the GT500's usual quad pipes, two of the exhaust outlets have been capped off.
Our spies point out that these exhaust outlets could be closed for some sort of emissions testing or another engineering reason, but it's also important to note that the engine and exhaust notes of this car sound completely different from earlier GT500 prototypes. We've got a video below that compares the two.

Ford and 'Dirty Jobs' pitchman Mike Rowe part ways [w/videos]

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

Former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe has one less job as of today - the pitchman is no longer a pitchman for Ford, with yesterday's announcement from Rowe ending a seven-year partnership between the TV host and the Blue Oval.
Rowe made the announcement to political pundit Glenn Beck, saying the two are "going in different directions" and wishing Ford "every possibly success that any car company could ever have," according to The Detroit News. Rowe and Ford got together in 2005, right around the time the 51-year-old came to prominence as the host of Dirty Jobs and the narrator for Deadliest Catch, two of the Discovery Channel's most popular shows.
Take a look below for a few video snippets of Rowe's tenure at Ford.

2015 Ford Mustang production to begin on July 14? Not quite, says Ford

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Mustang6g.com believes that it has unlocked start date for 2015 Ford Mustang production citing a Ford dealer communiqué. According to the report, job one on the 2015 hardtop will allegedly start in just a few days, on July 14, although units that are known as "OK to Buy" won't enter production until September 9. The cars built between those dates are most likely final pre-production cars for the executive test fleet, and will likely include the cars we'll be driving at the media launch.
Sun worshippers, meanwhile, would seem to have a longer wait. Job one on the droptop supposedly isn't slated to start until September 14, with production models starting on October 27. As is the case with the hardtop, these final pre-pros are for the execs and media to test, while actual dealer orders will come from vehicles made after the October date.
After speaking to Ford, though, we wouldn't put a great deal of stock in those dates as reported. We reached out to Said Deep, Ford's North American Product Communications Manager.
