Up for auction is a nice driver quality 1962 Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop. The Galaxie features a 352 2V engine and 3 speed manual transmission. It starts right up and runs great, shifts smoothly, and stops quickly. The power steering works wonderfully, no arm strong steering here. The car is very mechanically sound. It has had the radiator re-cored, recent tune up, newer clutch and flywheel, and the rear end has been gone through as well. The exterior of the car is nice. Paint is smooth and shiny. It has had some amateur body-work so the rear quarters are not as straight as I would like them for a long black car. It has a couple of small dings here and there but nothing major. Overall the outside of the car presents itself well and could be taken to any weekend hot rod show and have a lot of fun with it. The interior of the car is new and very nice. New carpet, seat upholstery, head liner, and door panels. It still needs a dome light cover but that is it inside the car. All of the glass is good and they roll up and down as they should. The chrome is in mostly original shape. The front bumper has been re-chromed and the rest is factory original. The rear bumper is in need of some attention. It has a couple of pulled spots on the bottom. The tires are in almost new condition and its exhaust is also nearly new. It is a single standard exhaust. Overall a great daily driver or weekend cruiser. Please call or email with any questions. Cell 765-376-3486 Thanks and Happy bidding!!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research
Fri, 24 Jan 2014Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
