The item you are bidding on is a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Hardtop Coupe.  It is equipped with a 6.4l 390 cubic inch V8 powered by a 2bbl carburetor.  It has a three speed C6 automatic transmission.  It has power steering, power brakes, front disc, rear drum, and air conditioning equipped.  The AC does not work, the system holds refrigerant, but the compressor will not power up, and the expansion valve is bad.  The heater control panel works somewhat, but blower control is sketchy.  The body is fairly straight, with the exception of the left front fender, which has dents that were pulled.  Bumpers are bent and have surface rust.  Side trim was removed.  Door locks are inop.  Car runs and drives.  It needs carburetor work, as it requires starting fluid first thing in the morning to start, will start fine the rest of the day.  All lights work, except hazards, which work intermittently. Previous owner installed new dual exhaust with turbo mufflers, sounds good.  Needs a lot of interior work.  I have door panels, but left one has major damage.  Seats need recovered.  Headliner and carpet are missing.  There is some fiberglass work done in the trunk.  Floor pans need to be replaced.  Tires have tread but need to be replaced.  The vinykl top is coming off and there is rust underneath.  The only place I am aware it has rusted through is below the rear windshield.  Dash pad is cracked.

The bottom line:  This car runs and drives good, is a lot of fun to drive, gets a lot of looks.  I suspect the carburetor is bad, a reman one runs about $125 from rockauto.  I would hang on to it if I didn't already have another car I am restoring.  I drive it regularly as I don't like to let it sit.

I am making no guarantees on this car.  It needs to be restored.  It is being sold as is.  Period.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.
