This is a very rare 62 Galaxie 500 Victoria 406/ 4 speed car that has great history and is in very good condition. If you click the above link you can read about the car when it was featured on BAT. Since that time the body has been removed from the frame and completly restored. The frame was blasted and powder coated and looks fantastic! The rust free floors were painted low gloss black and look very nice also. Every piece has been rebuilt and put back on. Every part of the brake system is new, all adjusted and ready to use. The front end is 100% brand new. The original motor, trans, and rear end are also restored. Below are specs on the drive train. I have a brand new aluminum radiator for the car. All new under hood wiring. [needs to be installed] The car needs to have exhaust installed and it is ready to fire. Every part that as used was the best you can buy. There is over $40,000 invested so far!! 

This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2-door hardtop is  a 406 4-speed car that previously was owned by  by NASCAR hall-of-famer David Pearson.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

Aussie Ford Falcon GT shows its rear end to Lamborghini Gallardo

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

When Ford Australia announces, as it did recently, that it wants to celebrate the end of its Ford Performance Vehicle division with a Falcon FPV GT-F that celebrates big-bore origins of the nameplate, it's talking about the kind of car in this video.
At some point the classic Falcon GT - said to be an XY series - was invited to a test of acceleration against a Lamborghini Gallardo. At the very least, the Falcon GT had a 351 cubic-inch motor and 300 horsepower, but whatever this guy's got under the hood of his yellow sedan makes has him so confident that he doesn't even move his elbow from its resting place on the door.
You'll find a reminder of Ford Australia's heyday, a raucous exhaust note and some NSFW language in the short video below.

J Mays' legacy

Fri, 15 Nov 2013



Mays is by far not the first designer to use heritage design cues in his work.
The announcement that J Mays will be leaving his chief creative officer role at Ford Motor Company on January 1 ends a 13-year run in one of the industry's top design roles. While best known for having a hand in reborn classics like the Volkswagen New Beetle, Ford Mustang and Thunderbird (above), Mays' legacy is more complicated and nuanced than being considered the father of what is known as "retrofuturism".
