For sale is a fun 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible. She has the 352 V8 2brl. I've owned the car for 5 years, and since then, she has a new automatic transmission, rebuilt generator, new battery, new rear shocks, new convertible top motor, new fuel pump and hoses, new bushings in the stabilizer links, and new rear brake shoes. This is a fun cruising car in great mechanical shape and decent cosmetic shape. Paint job was re-done (I'm told) about 5 years before I purchased it, so about 10 years ago. There are some bubbles and minor surface rust spots showing through, but nothing significant. Convertible top works well and is in good cosmetic condition with no holes in it. Still has the original AM radio in it (I can get in 2 stations very clearly). Car has black pinstriping on the pearl paint. Clock is present but not running. Oil pressure gauge was added (not original to the car). Front and rear seatbelts (lap belts) are present but I'm not sure if they were original to the car. Front bucket seats and rear bench. Wheels are 15" alloys off a modern Ford. I have original-style hubcaps in the trunk and could be used with 14" steel wheels. All vinyl seating with no tears. Since I've owner her, I've had a Pennsylvania State Inspection completed every year, most recently in May 2013, about 5 months ago. Original patent plant in the door jam is converted as follows:

Any questions please feel free to ask. I'm not a mechanic, just a person who enjoys driving a big classic convertible. I'll provide any additional pictures that you may want, so please ask. Anyone is more than welcome to come to Lancaster, PA to see the car in person.

Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
