Please read the entire description before bidding! You are bidding on a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Sunliner. My father purchased this car with the intention of recreating the 406 4 speed that he bought new in 1962. . The car is an original 390 automatic. He began collecting parts to convert it to a 406 with Tri-power and the 4 speed manual transmission. Unfortunately he lost his battle to cancer and never got the chance to do so. I do not have enough time myself to finish converting the car so I have decided to sell it. The car was repainted prior to my dad purchasing it. The body is very solid and straight. The odometer reads 12,xxx miles but I would assume it is actually 112,xxx. We had a custom canvas convertible top installed on the car to update the look. A high end upholstery shop made the top and did an amazing job. The top alone cost $1800. As you can see in the pictures, it sits on a set of 17" Shelby style wheels and Nitto performance tires. The tires are practically brand new. The chrome appears to be original and would need to be re-chromed to be show quality. It still presents fairly well but does have some pitting. The car runs and drives good. It might need a neutral safety switch or something because you have to put the car in neutral to start it. It will not start in Park. Everything else appears to work, including the power windows and power top. The auction is for only for the car, with the original 390 and automatic transmission. Note: The engine pictured and additional conversion parts are not included in the auction! I have the 406 motor, tri-power, shorty headers, 4 speed transmission, rear, new performance clutch, manual pedals, and other conversion parts that I will sell separately. I would work out a package deal with the car for the right price. The motor was purchased from Pop's Performance center. It is fresh and includes their "street heat" performance heads. I do not have a lot of details other than what is listed. I will try to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please only bid if you are serious and have the funds to purchase the car. |

Next-gen Ford Cobra Jet development underway, but will it be a Mustang?
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Ford might be stepping away from the NHRA, but it isn't abandoning drag racing altogether. Hot Rod says that Ford confirmed a next-gen Cobra Jet factory drag racer is in the works, but the report also speculates that a new Cobra Jet could switch away from the Mustang nameplate.
Even though talk of a new Cobra Jet coincides with the all-new 2015 Mustang, the lack of confirmation for the dragster's platform leaves Hot Rod to guess that the car might switch to another platform - specifically a front-drive-based, unibody car like the Fusion or Taurus. We'd hate to think of a world with a NASCAR-ized dragster from Ford Racing, but it's also highly unlikely that the Mustang Cobra Jet would step away from its quarter-mile rivals like the Chevy COPO Camaro and Dodge Challenger Drag Pak.
Next Shelby Mustang to wear GT350 nameplate
Fri, 21 Jun 2013Earlier this month, rumors started to swirl 'round the web about the next-generation Ford SVT Mustang - the halo version of the all-new 2015 'Stang seen testing in the gallery above. Originally, we heard that the Shelby GT500 moniker would be dumped in favor of "a name you're familiar with," which some sources guessed could mean a return of the Cobra nameplate.
That might not be correct. According to Road & Track, citing a report from Mustangs Daily, the new range-topping Mustang will bring back the Shelby GT350 name - currently used on an aftermarket version of Ford's Pony produced by Shelby American (take a look at our recent Quick Spin of that car). Expect the new GT350 to be quite a bit different than the current GT500 - it will be all motor, using a V8 that's derived from the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote engine (though it will no doubt have a higher displacement). The GT350 will be a lot more powerful than the next Mustang GT, which is expected to offer something like 450 horsepower, but won't be quite as absurd as the 662-horsepower GT500 we currently enjoy.
The Shelby GT350 will reportedly bow with the rest of the new Mustang range at the 2014 New York Auto Show, which coincides exactly with the original Mustang's debut at the New York World's Fair in 1964. If that seems far out, don't worry, we'll be seeing the rest of the 2015 Mustang range before then, but Road & Track reports that the 2014 Detroit Auto Show stage will be reserved for the reveal of the next Ford F-150 pickup.
Bill Ford wins National Pond Hockey Championship with employees
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Who says executives aren't people? This past weekend, Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company, and a group of employees trekked up to Eagle River, WI for a few games of pond hockey. Team Ford took part in the 2014 Labatt Blue/USA Pond Hockey Championship, capturing its fifth title in the 50+ Tier 1 Division.
"It feels great to win," Ford, who plays on the team alongside other Ford employees, told the USA Hockey website. "It was fun to play [River Valley Pioneers] because they're great guys and we play them every year. We finally beat them, which we were due. It was a very clean game, a tough game."
The FoMoCo team managed to score seven goals to River Valley's two, and went undefeated in all five of its games during the tourney. Take a look below for the official press release on Team Ford's win.
