I am listing a great barn find this week. 1963 Galaxy 500 convertible X-code 4 speed car. This car has been sitting since the mid 1970's. Original X-code 352 V8 with 2 barrel carb. Factory 4 speed with the original shifter still intact. Motor is stuck and is missing the original air cleaner. The car has four brand new tires we installed due to dry rot from sitting. All the mouldings and trim are present and in nice condition. The bumpers are straight , but could use new chrome. Both side lower quarters need some work. I have pictured all of the problem areas of the car below. The odometer on the car only shows 37,600 miles. This is a great project for someone. If you have any questions please call 913-238-7680 central time ask for Ron. Do not e-mail. They will not be answered. A nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 is due at the end of the auction via Paypal. Pickup and transport of the car is responsibilty of the new owner. Thanks

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.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
