I am selling my 1967 Galaxie convertible! I hate to let it go, especially after sparing no expense to fix every little thing. Now I have other irons in the fire, and will sell the car. I think it's my life story: Hunt it, buy it for myself, insist everything is fixed to perfection, then let it go for what I have in it for someone else to enjoy! Oh, well. This is truely a ground floor opportunity to get a clean muscle convertible before they go thru the roof in price as classics do.  You've got convertible, style, and muscle. Hard to get all that in any classic for under 20k. And it's red with white convertible top. I get compliments everwhere I go, as you can imagine. This car is all original, older restoration. It has been repainted beautifully sometime in the past. I took pics, but they don't do it enough justice. It runs perfectly. The original 390 engine has just had all the seals replaced (see pic of receipt) because it had a few minor drips. Over $400 later, it is now bone dry with new fluids. (oil and radiator fluids) Same with the transmission. I had a trusted reputable transmission shop that I have done business with for years, go through the transmission. It had a small drip; but to change out ALL the seals, the transmission had to be removed and gone through. Seals, torque converter, bushings, adjust bands, you name it. $800 later (and they gave me a break) the original cast iron transmission is bone dry with all new filters and fluid. Purrrfect. It is a drip free car. It runs perfectly, and the transmission and drive train are functioning perfectly. I pay attention to detail. All the bulbs in the dash work, as do all the gauges. (original, of course) The little blue light comes on on the dash when you start it up, and it's not up to operating temp yet. Now, lets talk about front end and brakes. Perfect. Tight front end, a treat to drive. You can take your hands off the wheel, no corrections needed. No shimmy, no shake. You can brake to a stop with hands off wheel, and it does not pull. Let's put it this way. If you come here and drive this car, you will know it's tight. Drive it over railroad tracks, no rattle! I've had hi dollar classics that sound like a bucket of rocks when you go over bumps. This is one sweet tight car. The mileage is ACTUAL 86000 miles. It states "actual miles" on my Kansas title. Kansas is a title inspection state... Body: Very clean driver. No rust in panels, trunk, or body mounts. Go over entire car with magnet! This isn't my first rodeo, and I know what to look for when I buy in the first place. Now, if I could only hang onto something before wanting to sell to get something else......The convertible top motor was sluggish and slow when I got it, and after fixing leak, hydraulics and all, it works perfectly with the touch of a button. Rises quickly and vigorously! I have turned all the little problems into a turn key car. Now, am I saying it's a 30k frame off restro and #1 garage queen? NO. Just a very clean dependable driver with a few (very few) minor dings, that is a treat to see, drive, and watch go up in value. If you can hang onto it! Interior is nice original, no cracked dash. (dashes usually crack on these) This car has had good care. I still have the original owners warranty plate. (see pic) I could go on and on, but feel free to email any and all questions. Email me your number and I will call you to answer more questions. I have it priced near what I have in it, so there is some room, but very little. You must make own arrangements to come here and take delivery, or hire shipping co.  Don't bid if you are not ready to buy with CLEARED funds.  I require $1000 down by Paypal upon completion of deal, and the rest can be paid when you pick up the car. Don't wait. What will this nostalgic red muscle convertible with stacked headlights be worth in 5 years??  Happy times!

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.

Ford F-250 boots Cadillac Escalade from atop thieves' most-wanted list

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

The Ford F-Series has been America's best-selling truck for decades, but along with the good comes the bad, apparently. In addition to being popular with consumers, the Highway Loss Data Institute notes that the F-Series Super Duty has risen in popularity among thieves. Based on its new study, the four-wheel drive crew cab F-250 Super Duty has topped the list for the country's highest rate of insurance theft claims, knocking the Cadillac Escalade from the top spot - a distinction the luxury SUV has held since this annual report was first established in 2003.
To reach its findings, HLDI looks at theft data from the previous three model years (in this case 2010-2012) to determine the frequency of claims for a particular make and mode,l as well as the average payment per claim. As the report points out, the claims aren't always for the theft of the entire vehicle - they can include components (say, wheels and tires) or property taken from the vehicle. At seven claims per 1,000 insured vehicles, the F-250 is six times more likely to suffer a theft claim than the average vehicle.
The Cadillac likely dropped from the top of the list to sixth due to additional theft-prevention features including a steering wheel lock and inclination sensor for the alarm, but GM's other fullsize trucks and SUVs still occupy eight of the list's 10 spots. Some of the least stolen vehicles with below-average loss payments include the Lexus HS250h, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V and Dodge Journey. Head on over to the HLDI's website for the full list that shows the most and least popular vehicles among thieves from 2010 through 2012.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.
