For sale is a 1967 Ford Galaxie. Original car with 118kmi. I purchased the car from the original owner family. Exterior has original paint on most of the car. Some of the lower sections have been painted many years ago, and some work was done on the quarters, again many years ago. This car is very solid, but the work on the quarters needs to be redone properly. Reproduction quarter panels for this car are around $300 for the pair. The floors are clean and solid. I intended on fixing the quarters and blending the paint to match the original paint, but of course you could refresh the paint entirely in any color you choose! The factory paint is oxidized, but should shine nicely with a little work. I wet sanded a small area on the trunk and found it will polish up well. The interior is in great condition. Last year I completely overhauled the brakes on all four corners. I had new drums, hardware kits, wheel cylinders, and shoes professionally installed. I went with original parts instead of adding disc brakes because the car is completely original. The brakes work excellent! The rims are late model Mustang GT. The car is an automatic with a 289ci V8. I added a Pertronix III electronic ignition and flame thrower coil, as well as 8mm wires. Included is the original FoMoCo stamped radiator that has a small damage to a cooling fin that leaked a little bit, so I removed it to have is brazed and put a replacement radiator in there for now. I also bought the correct Ford stamped radiator hoses for the reinstall of the proper radiator. Also included is a set of wheel well trims to replace the one that is dented, and a rear deck lid trim to replace the one on the car. There was some work done on the frame long ago. There is a small area at the rear rail that needs a bit of attention. It runs great and the car drives very nicely! It's registered and on the road. I drove it almost daily all last summer when the weather was nice, and this year I just haven't had the time to enjoy it as much as I would like to so I am offering it for sale. It is reliable and cruises down the highway at 75mph with no problems. I believe this car could be driven across the country. I want the new owner to be happy with their purchase. Please ask any questions before purchase. I encourage you to come see and drive the car.

I am open to offers. I might also consider a Volvo, S60, v70, v70xc, or xc90 with the 5 cyl

Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. Please come and see/drive the car to verify anything you are concerned about. This car is being sold as-is, where is, without warranty or returns. $500 non-refundable deposit is due upon selecting to 'buy it now'. The remainder is due in cash at pickup. The car must be picked up within 7 days of the auctions close. If for any reason you do not complete the transaction you forfeit the $500 deposit as a processing fee. I am willing to work with you for pickup if you need more time, but this must be arranged prior to purchase commitment.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US

Sun, 23 Feb 2014

Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
