1966 Ford Galaxie 500 2 Door Hardtop Fastback. This is a one owner car, and I have the original title. It was originally a 352/4 barrel with a new one piece aluminum cased C-6 automatic transmission. The owner popped that engine in the 1970's and replaced it with a 289 2BBL from a 1966 Ranchero, so the model year on the block is correct. The car runs and drives, but it is 57 years old, and the owner wasn't able to take care of it for many years before he passed away. It will need a little attention before it can be a daily driving project, but not much. It has a new radiator, new upper and lower radiator hoses, new thermostat, and a freshly rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 carb. I also have some new front brake parts to go with it.
The body is tight, with some very minor rust spots in the quarters that have been filled. The floor is good, but the trunk has a little rust. It had a vinyl top, but the owner removed some time ago and it needs filling and sanding. The car is in primer and about 80% ready for paint. It was originally "Springtime Yellow" with a "Raven Black" top.
The interior is from a 1967 Lincoln Continental and it looks great in the car. The seats are starting to get dry, and need to be cleaned and moisturized, but they still look really good. The front seats are powered, but I haven't had the chance to hook them up and check them. The headliner is great. The door panels are good. It will need new carpet, a new dash pad, and a new package tray, though.
All in all, this car is in good shape, and will make a easy project for someone.
The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. I may be able to deliver this car to certain areas for a reasonable fee. Email me and we can discuss this. THANKS!!!

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.
2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.
Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
