1962 Ford Galaxie Hardtop on 2040-cars
Eastman, Georgia, United States
|
Have a good look at this unrestored, unmolested, low milage, one owner, 1962 Galaxie Hardtop. There are plenty of very nice restorations around but a car like this is very hard to find with only 41,682 miles on it. Everything on this car is original, the body is as straight as it came from the factory. The bottom of the rockers are rust free. This car was undercoated when it was new, not recently to cover up anything, but when it was new. You can see this from the underside of the hood and the wheelwells in the pictures. The only flaw I can see in the body is the right rear fender where you can see a spot of paint coming off. It looks like perhaps something fell on the top of it because there is no damage to the bumper or any of the tailight trim. Instead of spotting the paint it was painted up to the door so this fender has a little more shine to it than the rest. Buffing the rest should make it about equal. All the glass is amazingly good but does need the piece of rubber between the front and rear window glass replaced. There is a very minor dent in the rear bumper that you can see in the pictures. The front bumper is straight and only has some small blemishes in the chrome on the right corner. There is not a single rip or tear in the upholstery. The worst thing you can say about the seats is that they have faded just a little over time. The headliner is in great shape but does need the plastic lens on the dome light. The steering wheel is very nice but does have some of the color worn off. All the brightwork trim is very good and only needs some polishing on some of it. The carpet is good but is faded from light. The engine compartment appears to be all original and complete. It has not been cleaned up and has the 52 years of dirt and a little grease and oil. I could clean this real easy but this car really is a time capsule like it is so I will leave it up to the next owner to suite his taste. The car runs and drives good, Has a 352 cu in engine,the tires are good, has radio and heater, power steering,and cruiseamatic transmission that works good. Absolutly no rust in the floors or trunk, even the gas tank was undercoated. I have tried to mention every flaw I could find, which is not many, but please ask any question you have. If you would like to call, my number is 478-231-4848. I had to mark clear title to get it a list but it is sold with a Georgia bill of sale and a current registration. Cars older than 1963 do not have titles in ga. and a number of other states. It is easy to obtain a title in most states that require one with the bill of sale and reg. One can be obtained for a fee if it's needed in your state. If you are a -O- feedback bidder, please call before bidding.

Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
Ford Q3 pretax profits drop to $1.18B
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Following positive third quarter financial results recently from General Motors, rival Ford took a tumble in Q3. The automaker posted pre-tax profits of $1.18 billion, compared to about $2.59 billion in Q3 2013, a drop of around 54 percent. Net income also suffered with $835 million made in the quarter, versus $1.272 billion last year, a decline of about 34 percent. The Blue Oval blamed the gloomy figures on three reasons in its release: "lower volume, higher warranty costs and adverse balance sheet exchange effects."
There were problems of one kind or another in practically every region. North America experienced higher warranty costs than expected, partially due to recalls. The sales volume for the quarter was 665,000 units, versus 725,000 in Q3 2013, and pre-tax results amounted to $1.41 billion versus $2.296 billion last year.
South America and Europe both posted worse pre-tax results than last year. On the bright side, European volume was up slightly to 321,000 vehicles, from 303,000 in Q3 2013. The Middle East and Africa also lost $15 million, but that was an improvement compared to the $25 million loss previously experienced in this region.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
