1962 Ford Galaxie Convertible on 2040-cars
Waynesboro, Tennessee, United States
|
1962 Ford Galaxie Sunliner, which is a convertible. Has had some body work done by amateur, a bit rough. Needs paint. Has a good running V8, probably the 352 but could be a 390, has a 2 barrel carb so I am guessing 352 because of year of car. Has a center console and stick shift automatic trans, bucket seats but I don't think they are original, so this may be an XL Sunliner, but probably not and someone added a console to make it a clone and lost interest. Shifter works, but needs adjustment. Engine runs very well, the brakes work, it does stop but needs adjusting, maybe shoes. Does drive and shifts well, but trans has slow leak. This car has an x frame chassis, what I can see looks solid, and car sits level. Tires dry rotting from sitting but hold air for a couple of weeks or longer. I bought a new top for it when I bought it 6 years ago, it is still in the box,in the trunk. Also rear quarter sheet metal for 1 side. Full set of decent hub caps, correct originals, and good set of skirts. I start up, and then drive this car a little at least once every 2 months. I bought this car about 6 years ago, intending to restore it. I replaced the dashboard, and the one I put in looks new. And then I lost interest. The windshield has a score in it from wiper blade, otherwise clear. All the side trim is gone, and at least one fender has been replaced. The rear quarters are rusted out, and there are small holes in trunk. Floor pans were apparently replaced by amateur, and are heavy sheet metal screwed down. Look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I am selling it as is, where is. Buyer pays shipping. True mileage is anybody's guess, this car is 52 years old !! I do have a clear Tennessee title. |

Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
