Here is a good project for someone looking for a convertible. Its a 1968 Galaxy XL Convertible that will need total restoration. I took it on trade and have no time to do the car. It can be used to restore or parts. Its very complete but not totally. As u can see in the pics, it has its share of rust. Frame has rusted areas that will need attention or replaced. the body is fairly decent with past bodywork done to it. I do have the front bumper but it will need a better one. The quarters have been patched, the doors are very decent but will need a little work but usable, the fenders are nice and will also need very minor work. Has very rare hide away headlights that im told work perfect when the car is running. The deck lid has been redone but the previous owner when they started the restoration. The hood is very nice. Most of the trim is on the car. All the glass is there and good. Windshield has a couple stone chips but no cracks. It has the XL interior with the exception of the front seats that have been replaced. The interior will also need to be restored and does include the original center console that is in surprisingly good shape. looks like the shifter handle is wrong. I have not tried to start it, but was told that it starts, moves, and stops but has a miss in the motor. I did how ever put a battery in it and many things powered up and worked, including the headlights, taillights, blinkers, radio (aftermarket), and of course the power top which went down and back up smoothly with no problem. It will need a new top installed. The brake pedal is firm and appears to have good brakes as i was told. Its a 390 2V with an automatic transmission that appears to be original and all there. Surprisingly also, the floors and trunk floor are in very nice shape and dont appear to need replaced. The tires hold air but sorry i dont have the hubcaps. That being said, keep in mind that i would like to sell it as a project and have listed it as such. Im located in Michigan in the "thumb" region and would be happy to help with transporting within a reasonable distance. I ma including my number to be able to best answer all question personally rather than trying to describe things thru email. I am listing it with NO RESERVE so u have a chance to win it very cheap. Thanks for looking at my car and happy bidding. 989-670-2700 call or text.

Ford Focus was best-selling nameplate in 2012

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

Last August, Ford made a few waves by claiming that the Ford Focus was, at that point, the top-selling car in the world. The automaker failed to account for variations of the Toyota Corolla wearing a different name (such as the Auris and Matrix), however. With official data from Polk coming in now, Ford is able to say that the Focus was, in fact, the best-selling nameplate in the world last year.
Using new-car registrations (which doesn't factor in fleet sales), the Polk data shows that a total of more than one million Focus models around the world. Strong sales in the US and China have led to a 16 percent increase in year-over-year Focus sales from 2011 that helped to create even more of a gap between it and the second-best global seller, the Corolla.
Ford also had the Fiesta and F-Series listed in the top 10 for worldwide nameplates, but what's even more impressive is the fact that the F-Series is only sold in North America. Scroll down to see the list (compiled by Ford using Polk data) of the top global sellers last year and a press release from Ford.

Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.

Ford's official Euro aftermarket partner Mountune coming to US

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

Now that we're getting a steady stream of Ford's European offerings, the aftermarket world is finally starting to catch up as well. UK-based aftermarket tuning company, Mountune has just announced that it will be setting up shop in California to provide high-performance and racing parts for Ford vehicles including the Focus ST and Fiesta ST.
Mountune lays claim to being Ford's "official European tuning partner," and US buyers will soon have access to these parts through Ford dealerships and with a Ford Racing warranty. Speaking of Ford Racing, Mountune also says that it will be working with Ford's in-house team to develop future components for both street and track. There are no specifics as of yet for which products will be offered here, but the company plans to launch a US-specific website later this month with more information.
