Thank you for your interest and welcome to my auction for this very rare 1961 Ford Galaxie Sunliner Convertible! 

1961 Was a very distinct year for the Sunliner as it showcased the new signature round Ford taillights and last year of the mini-fins. In fact, these cars are so sought after Hagerty values a condition 1, 1961 Ford Sunliner Convertible the at nearly $70K!!

Now, this is not a condition 1 car, however, it makes an excellent candidate for a full restoration project for those looking to put the time and money the car deserves and still see a return on investment if needed.  And for those who want a weekend cruiser for your local car shows or simply drop the top on beautiful days...well this is a perfect candidate as well. 

This particular car has little things that make it quite unique and add to it's collectible value. It is so hard to find a 53 year old car with it's original keys! It has the original owners manual! It's also a 'X' Code Sunliner, meaning it came with a 352ci V8 from factory (I'm told this may not be the original motor). Included in the sale are original Ford Galaxie/Sunliner advertisements and brochures (see photos). As per the VIN, this is a factory black exterior with red vinyl interior and white top. The car was also came factory with the Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission.  

The Sunliner was the high-end model for the Galaxie line up and featured many upgrades such as: Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Top, A/C, and radio. All but a/c and radio are working on this car. 

As mentioned this car is a daily driver. The complete drivetrain including the motor, automatic transmission and rear end are in perfect working order. The interior shows very well, but does have wear and tear, such as the carpet, driver door panel and random interior finishes. The car does have a brand new top (no leaks). The exterior also shows well, but the car does need a paint job. It has fading in several spots. The car is not 100% rust free. Some rust is found on lower door panels and in the top of the trunk where it meets the convertible top (see photos). It's not rust that has eaten all the way through. It's still repairable. However, to my knowledge there is no chrome trims or moldings missing on the car (great news for those looking to restore). Several different parts, trims, moldings etc. are included in the sale (see photos). All main exterior lights are in working order, Wipers work, speedometer and odometer work. 

I have included as many photos possible to assist in our description. However, if you require additional photos and/or have any questions please feel free to contact me, Gaston via message or call/text (786) 486-7746. 

I encourage you ask all questions before committing to buy, do not assume anything that may not be listed. This is an AS-IS sale. International buyers are welcome.

Man chases down truck thief and steams it all on Facebook

Thu, Oct 13 2016

A Washington man chased down a truck stolen from his family's dealership last Saturday and livestreamed the event on Facebook. According to KOMO, a 2005 Ford F-250 was stolen from Sunrise Auto Sales in Eatonville, Washington on the morning of October 8. Aaron Babcock, who co-owns the small dealership with his father David, told reporters that after reviewing surveillance footage, he later spotted the truck while riding his motorcycle on Webster Road East. "I watched my cameras and found the video of a man lurking around and ending up taking off with my truck," Babcock told KOMO. "Cops came and made a case. Three hours later I was on my motorcycle in Graham, and they drove by me oncoming. It still had dealer stickers on it. It said diesel on the window and it had our dealer plate on it. It stuck out like a sore thumb. It was really easy to see." Once he spotted the stolen Super Duty, he wheeled his bike around and gave chase. He attempted to call 911, but was unsure if the dispatcher heard him due to noise from the wind and the bike's engine. So he fired up Facebook live and started streaming his chase, giving running commentary and updating his location as he chased the slow-moving truck. "I wasn't going to let him get away. I was going to try follow him down. I had no idea what to do," Babcock said. "Nobody could hear me on the phone so I just figured the first thing to do is pull up Facebook live." Babcock's Facebook friends pitched in by calling 911 to report the chase and even jumping in their own cars to follow the truck. At one point, he pulled alongside the truck and recognized both men in the cab. The driver was the man seen lurking around the dealer lot in the surveillance video, and the passenger was an old friend of Babcock's. "I know who you are!" he shouted at them, but the hunkered down and kept driving. Eventually, Babcock lost cell phone signal and the livestream ended. Eatonville police, who by this point were well aware of the incident, caught up with the truck in the 8400 block of 356th Street South in Eatonville. The driver was arrested and the passenger was questioned and released. Both denied stealing the vehicle or knowing it was stolen. Two sets of keys from Sunrise Auto Sales and a stolen credit card were also recovered from the truck. Related Video

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
