This auction is for a very rough and rusty but complete 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop. It is a Z-code car with the 390/4V Thunderbird motor. Georgia will not issue titles for 1962 and older vehicles, but I have a current Georgia registration in my name. This, along with a bill of sale will allow you to get a title in most title states (including Florida). The car has been off the road since 1977, and has been sitting in the back of a friend's garden for the last 18-20 years. Odometer reads 66572, but I don't know if this is the actual mileage or not. It has factory A/C, power steering and brakes, and automatic transmission. There is heavy rust in the trunk floor, the passenger floor and the radiator core support.. A friend who specializes in Fords looked at it for me and said he thinks the motor has never been apart due to the factory lock tabs on the exhaust manifold bolts. The trim that is missing from the doors and the hood lip moulding are included and are inside the trunk. The car to me appears to be too far gone to restore to original, but would make an excellent parts car or maybe even a rat rod. The previous owner had lost the keys, so I had to open the trunk by going through the back seat area. I removed the lock and it is included with the car. The brakes were stuck, so I have removed the brake hardware from each wheel, and the drums will all need to be replaced. None of the side windows will roll down. Once again, THIS CAR IS SOLD AS A ROUGH PROJECT CAR OR AS A PARTS CAR. It will need to be hauled on a trailer or a rollback due to the condition of the tires and because it has been sitting up for so long. It does roll very easily now for loading. A deposit of $300 is required within 48 hours of auction end, and balance due within 7 days. I will accept a check for balance, but will require 2 weeks to clear before car can be picked up. I may be able to deliver the car up to 250 miles from Statenville, GA 31648 for $2.10/loaded mile. If you want an exact delivery cost, send an exact, complete delivery address. Please email any questions or if you would like to see specific photos of any part of the car. Thanks for looking and for bidding!!!

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.

Ford profiles surprisingly affluent Focus ST buyers

Fri, 08 Nov 2013

It comes as no surprise when Ford says that 32-percent of Focus ST buyers are under 35, but we weren't expecting this: the average annual salary of Focus ST buyers is $127,000. Twenty-two percent of non-ST Focus buyers are under 35, while their average annual salary is $67,000.
We like the Focus ST because it has 252 horsepower, is genuinely fun to drive and offers great value for performance-minded car enthusiasts; facts that are not lost on customers, it seems. Ford says that the Focus ST has the highest percentage of conquest sales for a non-hybrid model it sells, and that the top-four trade-ins are from Honda, Chevrolet, Mazda and Toyota. Demand for the hot Focus is strongest in Los Angeles, Detroit, Houston and Orlando.
"[The Focus ST is] having this kind of halo effect for other vehicles we'd hoped for when we invested in the ST brand," says John Felice, vice president of US marketing, sales and service, because it's helping to boost sales of other Ford vehicles.

2015 Ford Mustang GT road test ride-along

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

You've no doubt already pored over our first drive of the 2015 Ford Mustang, where author Jonathon Ramsey proclaimed that "this new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment." And following Ramsey's first stint behind the wheel of Ford's new coupe, we sent him back out with another 'Stang to capture some of these same impressions over a backdrop of the car moving quickly along gorgeous California canyon roads.
But this also gave our author and editors time to read through the hundreds of comments left on that original Mustang review. You readers are indeed a vocal bunch, and one particular comment about how the automotive media is so willing to bash an outgoing car as soon as the new one arrives really caught our attention. In this video, Ramsey stands by his written text, saying the new Mustang is "massively better than the one it replaces," and in doing so, addresses your comments while providing more insight into just how good the Ford truly is.
We won't spoil the rest for you. Check out the feature video above, and as always, leave us your thoughts in the Comments section below.
