Model: Galaxie
Trim: 7 Litre
Options: Convertible
Year: 1966
Drive Type: RWD
Up for Auction is a rare 1966 Galaxie 500 Convertible 7 Litre Edition. The car is a highly optioned 7 Litre. It has factory installed power windows, power locks, cruise control, in dash AC, and best of all the 7 Litre package which includes the legendary 428 ci engine. The car is in exceptional condition for its age. The under side is very nice with only one very small soft spot on the passenger side rear floor pan. The rest of the under side and frame is rock solid. The trunk is amazingly rust free. The only other rust on the car is around the chrome for the convertible top. Most likely where the water sat on after a rain or washing. The engine is a 428 CI with a 4V carb. It will start and run but smokes a bit, it should be rebuilt. The heads and intake are off of a 1968 engine but it is a 428. The trans appears to be original to the car, a C6 automatic. It retains its original front power disc brakes. Some of the electrical works and I think that some of it is unhooked. There is no alternator currently on the car so its make it hard to be sure that everything is hooked up correctly. The power windows nor the top pump would do anything so I imagine that there is no power going to them at all. The headlights, taillights, and turns worked. Several bulbs are out so the turns did not flash. This car needs a total restoration. This is a great base to start with. A super solid body that needs the dings and dents worked out and painted and an engine that needs a little freshening up and you can hit the road in a rare street machine. Please contact me with any questions. 765-376-3486 or email through ebay. The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
Next Ford Mustang to drop 400 pounds
Thu, 15 Aug 2013The Ford Mustang is already the lightest of the current crop of muscle cars, at around 3,600 pounds for a GT coupe with the six-speed manual transmission. That's almost 260 pounds less than a Chevrolet Camaro SS and about 450 pounds less than a Dodge Challenger R/T, which means the Mustang has a pretty big advantage when it comes to handling, braking, accelerating and economy. More good news: The next Mustang will be even lighter.
According to a report from Edmunds, the sixth-generation Mustang, which is set to debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, will shed an additional 400 pounds of body fat. That 11-percent weight reduction will be thanks to lightweight materials, with a particular focus on using stronger, but less material in construction. Aluminum will feature heavily, but Edmunds' inside source warns that there is "nothing terribly exotic" coming to the original pony car.
The other big news is that the new Mustang will be smaller overall. It's going to be 15-inches shorter than the 188.5-inch Mustang on sale today, while it'll also be 6.5 inches narrower. Shorter overhangs, both in the front and rear, are also good signs for those that want an agile Mustang.
Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
