Outstanding convertible very well cared for over many years. Body is laser straight, paint excellent, interior superb. All original with 1 exterior repaint many years ago. Less than 80,000 actual miles.

Paint: excellent with very few flaws. Body panels are not only straight, but all body lines are at factory settings and doors, trunk and hood all open and close like a brand new car.

Interior: Unbelievably well preserved all original interior. All seams, accents, and vinyl and plastic parts are like new. Vinyl is supple. Dash is not cracked or warped. Carpet is excellent but is faded in a few areas. Dye it and it will look like new. There is no musty smell.

Engine: Runs excellent. Does not knock, miss or burn any oil. Drive anywhere in confidence. I took it on a 2,000 plus mile vacation with no issues. Currently has an exhaust manifold leak.

Top: Completely serviceable but has some dark staining starting to show. Another item that can be dyed and it will look like new. Has perfect glass rear window. Top boot is original, fits perfectly and is also still in excellent condition. Top is aligned correctly and goes up and down fast.

Misc: Tires are excellent, maybe 90% of tread left. Whitewalls. Factory spinner hubcaps are excellent. Stainless skirts are like new. I added aftermarket cruise control & it works like it should. AM radio works fine, as do wipers and all other accessories except clock. Glass is all excellent. Although I have owned this car for about 12 years or so, I have never waxed it and never armoralled the vinyl. I just keep it clean and dry.

Rust: None except surface rust on a few underside areas where there is no undercoating.

I looked for a top-tier 65 Galaxie 500 XL for years before I bought this one and it has not disappointed me. It will not disappoint you either. Call Mike 719-660-5504 for any additional details.

As always, no warranty is expressed or implied. International bidders welcome. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I will make car available for pickup.

I will be happy to provide any additional photos you might want.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.

Autoblog Podcast #317:

Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
