1967 FORD GALAXIE COUNTRY SEDAN SURF WOODY
When I was a kid about 5 or 6 my Granny had a 64 Falcon. Black with wood. I can remember walking along the tops of the fenders barefooted. If she saw me she would yell and threaten to whip me with a switch. That was back when people whipped kids with a switch. The good old days. My Papa was a mechanic and when the six got old he put in a built 302. My uncles would argue over driving it so they could smoke the tires. That car won a place in my heart that has lasted 35 years. I love a woody wagon.
Up for auction is my daily driven dream car. I am sacrificing it to go back to school so I can better support my family. I am not sad. I will get another one.
I have personally watched people at car shows get out of their car and walk past numerous pristine show cars to see this wagon. As the feelings of nostalgia overwhelm them they open their mouth and say "When I was a kid we had one like this." My dad carried his surf board on the roof of something like this. I will gladly pass this torch on to the winner of this auction. This car is the epitome of cool. When I go to get fuel it takes 45 minutes because of the people wanting to talk about it. Or take pictures. If you do not like attention do not bid on this car!
This car has the ever faithful Challenger 289. This one is equipped with a 2 barrel carb for good gas mileage and BBK shorty headers with true dual exhaust, Thrush mufflers, and chrome tips for the get up and go. It sounds like a chorus of angels singing an old Metallica song. You should see the looks on peoples faces when I pass them in the fast lane on the interstate. This is a well maintained DAILY driven hot rod. You can literally purchase this car and drive it back and forth to work everyday, immediately after you get it. Some listings say "drive anywhere" this car is driven everywhere! Though it has been in some shows (and won awards) this is not a show car. You may call it a rat rod or street rod. It's just plain bad. It has some small dings and patina paint, about 4 colors of red, and the chrome is good but not perfect. The white on the roof is kinda thin in spots. This car makes no apologies. The surf and skate stickers, and the board on top, really draw a crowd.
I am the second (technically third) owner of this car. The original owners bought the car in Lasater Missouri and owned it till they passed away in the early nineties. It was eventually purchased in an estate sale by Miami Classic Motors and I purchased it through ebay and had it shipped to me for Christmas. At one point it sat in storage for 25 years. Hence the low miles. I have service records documenting the mileage.
I added the headers and exhaust. Professionally installed by a local speed shop. It has a rebuilt carb, new cap and rotor, condenser, points, plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, 160 degree thermostat, fuel pump, brake lines, battery tray, wheel cylinders, headlight switch, dimmer switch, all lights, seat cover, middle seat belts, cup holder and a bunch of air fresheners. I like air fresheners. I have worked out all the bugs. The engine is freshly painted Ford Blue and the valve covers and air cleaner are freshly painted Thunderbird Gold. The original seat cover was in bad shape so I installed the seat cover like a new cover by disassembling the seat and contact gluing the covers on and reassembling. I have worked in several custom shops and all work is professionally done. It could us new carpet if you're into that sort of thing. I'm not. Also the rear door doesn't latch properly and the window switch doesn't work. The window motor works fine though. This car has factory air conditioning and it might work. I removed the belt when I got the car and haven't really needed air so I didn't put it back on. The wood was added to the car sometime in it's life. Country Sedans didn't come with woodgrain. The only mod I wanted to do but did not get around to is to cut one ring out of the front coil springs. I'll leave that to the next owner. Just please keep the hubcaps and don't put some new style ugly wheels on it. The tires were brand new when I got the car and are still in good shape. The windows are all in perfect shape and the cars shows no signs of being in any accidents.
Buy with confidence. This car is ready to go cruising. Paypal please and thanks for your business. Good luck!

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
2015 Ford Mustang renders reveal look of the real thing
Tue, 15 Oct 2013This is, according to the pony-car obsessed kids over at Mustang6G.com, the closest, most accurate rendering of the new, 2015 Ford Mustang to date. Artis Chazcron used a combination of Ford CAD images and information from assorted spy shots to assemble a fairly handsome car, albeit one that conforms to the tired cliché of being more evolutionary than revolutionary.
Now, it's very important to note that these are still speculative renders, and that they only represent the base car - that could explain the lack of the Mustang's vestigial side scoops, along with other, newer styling cues that Mustang6G seems to think will arrive on production models. Those items include a new, double-bubble roof, although the Mustang aficionados claim that even if it were present, it'd barely be visible from these angles.
The front end is pretty spot on, compared to what we've seen from earlier spy shots, while the tail, with its interesting light design is something new. The louvered taillights look quite different from the current version, obviously, though Mustang has gone the whimsical route with taillights before. Also, note the new rear diffuser uses an integrated reverse light and rear foglight, the latter of which is required for sale in Europe.
