1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
Simpsonville, South Carolina, United States
|
For sale is my 1967 Ford Galaxie V8, automatic 3 speed 289 with tree on the column. It has front and back bench seats with no rips or tears, but color fading on the top of front bench seat. Dash has a crack and steering wheel has cracks in material. Car starts and runs good, I use it to cruise around on the weekend and local errands on my days off if the weather is nice. I have owned it for about a year and I replaced the brake pads, thermostat, and had a mechanic rebuild the carburetor and tune it up. I usually warm it up for about 5 minutes before I drive it and it cruises down the road and even runs 70mph fine on the HWY (although I prefer to use back roads to just cruise when possible). I have owned the car for about a year and at first I had plans to put a 5.0 mustang engine and completely redo the interior but then my wife and I bought our dream house so the funds for this project are gone and I honestly have just moved on to a 2002 Mazda Miata convertible as my cruising vehicle (which is small but I love for anyone who is considering one). I still start the Galaxie up and will run it until it is sold so it is not just sitting around. I love the looks of this car but I was not using it enough and just decided to buy something that my wife and I could drive around the mountain roads, have fun and get good gas mileage. My mechanic told me that if I wanted to make it a daily driver but keep the same engine I should at least update to a new carburetor. I can take a video for those who want to see and hear it run, and I can send any additional pictures upon request, please just text me at 864-906-7884 Patrick. If I did not need a truck to haul hay for our goats and mini horses I would keep this Galaxie and slowly make upgrades to it. However,the funds from this sale will afford me to buy a truck, but I am not in a hurry nor desperate since my parents have a truck that I just borrow when I need one for now. |

Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.
Ford vandalizes the SEMA Show floor with 2014 Transit Connect
Tue, 05 Nov 2013The Ford booth here at SEMA is practically a 1970s throwback with all these customized vans sitting front and center. And we're completely fine with that. Take the black and yellow (black and yellow, black and yellow) 2014 Transit Connect from Mobsteel above. It's got a great stance, sits on steel wheels and has a pretty cool paint job and graphics package to boot.
Of course, that's not the only van you can see at the Ford booth. In fact, there are 10 Transit Connect vans on display from Ford here at SEMA, and you can see them all in our live gallery of high-res images above. Then, if you want to know more about each specific model, feel free to scroll down to read all about these vans in the official press release from Ford.
2014 Ford F-150 Tremor adds some sport to shake things up
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Like most quakes, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor caught us by surprise. We weren't expecting Ford to offer up another version of its best-seller so soon before the truck's full redesign, but that's exactly what the company is doing.
While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle - the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 - for the strongest possible acceleration.
The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.
