I have decided to sell my 1961 FORD Galaxie Sunliner Convertible. It's a very nice Car with ZERO RUST anywhere.
The Floors are Flawless and have been protected with por-15, I just installed Thermo-tec Sound/Heat Insulation covering the complete floor. Also has Brand New carpet. The Rest of the interior is very good as you can see in the pics, Not Perfect but Very, Very Good. Keeping with the interior, It has a new glove Box, Homemade Center console to house gauges and the new radio (so the dash has not been cut for a newer radio), There is just a delete plate where the original would go. Has a full set of Stewart Warner Gauges, The Oil Pres, Amp, Vac all work. The Water Temp, Fuel Pres are not hooked up. The Auto Meter Tach just Stopped working and I haven't looked into it yet. Turn Signals,Tail,Head Lights, High Beams, Interior Lights, Gauge Lights All work. The heater is all there, water hooked up, doesn't leak but the wires are not hooked up and haven't fixed it yet. The front seatbelts are RACEQUIP 3" Lap belts, NO rear seatbelts. All the window roll up and down perfect and trim, weatherstrip, doors seals are great, doors just beautifully. Top goes up and down like it should and is in great condition.
The engine is a just rebuilt 390 with a 428 Crank making it a 410ci. There is maybe 300-350 miles on it. It has a mild cam, New Holley 4160 Carb, Pertronix coil and Ignition upgrade, New Wires, Plugs, Etc. Cast Iron Headers, Original adjustable rockers but now has hydraulic lifters, New Flywheel and New Ram Clutch. 2-10" Electric Pusher fans on thermo switch. New Starter, This engine is not even broke in yet and runs great.
The Transmission is a Borg T-10 4 speed that was just rebuilt and works like it should. I Do NOT have the Flywheel Cover and dust shield for the trans. Also has a brand new driveshaft from Carolina Driveline.
As you can see from the pics, The body is in great condition but is NOT perfect. There are some issues that need to be fixed. The driver Door looks like a Jack hit it (happened before I got the car) It's a spot about 4" long and you can see it in the pic. There are 2 spots about the size of a dime where the paint got chipped near the rear of the car/drivers side. The last area is pass side rear where it looks like someone leaned against it, kinda hard to see though. The Chrome is in great Condition, Only one piece of trim is damaged slightly and thats the pass rear quarter(2 small dings). The hood has a metal hood scoop that was there when I bought it, Nicely done and it's growing on me I have to say. The trunk is very solid, no rust but again, the previous owner put a fuel cell on the car and cut a hole in the trunk floor(about 6"x6") to refuel, Has been working with no issues though. Grille is great. Again, This Body is extremely solid, no Rust.
The wheels are new American Racing Daytona's 18" Rear, 17" Front, Tires have about 300-350 miles on them.
Front End has been completely rebuilt using MOOG ball joints, A-arm bushings, New Shocks, Poly Sway bar End Links, New Drag Link, Etc, Very Tight.
Take a look at the Pics, Please ask any questions you may have... It's not a perfect car but you can't get much cooler than this one. I start all my auctions @ $1.00 so all can get in on the action.
Also may be into trades, Trades +, 30's thru the 60's cars, Cobra Kits, 911, Let me know.
Thank you and good Luck

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Hot Wheels Ford Transit Connect is worth more if we keep it in the box
Wed, 06 Nov 2013If the 2014 Transit Connect is anything like it's utile current-generation predecessor, and we suspect it is, it will undoubtedly be one of the most functional vehicles in North America. Ford has used the occasion of SEMA to turn the TC in to things that both make use of that functionality, and occasionally sort of wreck it in the name of good old-fashioned fun. The Ford Hot Wheels Transit Connect most certainly falls into that second category.
Most TC owners might cite the vehicle's massive cargo capacity as its top positive trait, though in the case of this wide-bodied Transit said space has been sapped in the name of a 55-inch television screen, a massive Hot Wheels drag strip (continuing a popular theme at SEMA this year) and custom storage for dozens of models from one's personal hot wheels collection. Designers have also plucked the grippy Recaro seats from the Focus ST, and thrown in a pair of 18-inch tablet screens for connectivity on the go.
Naturally, the Transit Connect wouldn't be an appropriate SEMA vehicle, or Hot Wheels name-bearer, if it weren't wearing an eye-popping appearance package. Additional homage to the Focus RS can be found in the blazing blue and orange front fascia and bumpers, while 20-inch wheels make sure the wider (four-inches in front and six-inches in the back) Transit Connect sits just right. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder-engine that powers the Hot Wheels TC ensures that the concept is more show than go, but you probably had that pegged from your first look, anyway.
Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.
