1959 Ford Galaxie Retractable Hardtop Convertible In Red Red Red Original Ford on 2040-cars
Fairport, New York, United States
|
UP FOR BID IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 1959 FORD GALAXIE RETRACTABLE HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM NEW ENGLAND AT ONE OF THE LAST KRUSE AUCTIONS HELD AT THE VERONA NY CASINO ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO.
THIS VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT HAS OF COURSE THE WORKING RETRACTABLE HARDTOP IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH A TOUCH OF A BUTTON UNDER THE DASH AND IT ALWAYS DRAWS A CROWD. THE CAR IS FULLY EQUIPPED AND HAS POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, POWER WINDOWS, POWER SEAT, AND AFTER MARKET MODERN AM/FM STEREO RADIO. (I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RADIO). THE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL PLASTIC SEAT COVERS IT CAME WITH AND FEATURES A TRI-COLOR RED BLACK AND WHITE UPHOLSTERY. THE CARPETS ARE BLACK AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. ALL THE UPHOLSTERY IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER WORK. THE ODOMETER HAS LESS THAN 37000 ON IT. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE REAL MILEAGE IS, HOWEVER THIS CAR HAS BEEN GENTLY USED. ALL THE POWER WINDOWS WORK WELL AS WELL AS THE POWER SEAT. THE CARS STARTS, STOPS, AND DRIVES EXTREMELY WELL. IT WILL CRUISE AT 65 ALL DAY LONG. I JUST TOOK A TRIP ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY FROM ROCHESTER NY TO SYRACUSE NY AND IT CRUISED AT 65MPH AND KEPT UP WITH TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. THE PAINT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES BEAUTIFULLY. THE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN REPAINTED IN THE FACTORY COLOR, HOWEVER IT WAS DONE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETECT ANY OVERSPRAY IN THE DOORS OR TRUNK AREA OR UNDER THE HOOD. THE CHROME IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND SHINES LIKE IT JUST LEFT THE FACTORY. NEW CARS HAVE VIRTUALLY NO CHROME AND THIS CAR HAS LOTS OF IT. IT IS ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE GLASS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE CAR FEATURES A TINTED FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE CAR CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH AIR CONDITIONING AND IT WORKS FINE. IT WAS MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH, AND IT HAS A CHROME EMBLEM ON THE PASSENGER DOOR STATING THE CAR IS FACTORY EQUIPPED WITH SELECT-AIRE AIR CONDITIONING. AGAIN IT WORKS FINE. AFTER I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THE OLD MECHANIC WENT THROUGH THE CAR FROM STEM TO STERN AND CORRECTED ALL MINOR DEFECTS IT HAD. THE CAR HAS 2 FACTORY SPOTLIGHTS AND THEY NOW LIGHT JUST LIKE WHEN THEY LEFT THE FACTORY. THE CONTINENTAL KIT IS FACTORY INSTALLED AS WELL. IT HAS THE SPARE TIRE. THERE IS NO RUST ON THIS VEHICLE AND I THINK THE ORIGINAL RUST PROOFING IS STILL ON THE CAR. THE CAR HAD ORIGINAL BIAS BELTED TIRES THAT WERE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE. I HAD 4 NEW FIRESTONE WHITE WALL 380'S INSTALLED ON THE CAR. THE RADIAL TIRES WORK FINE WITH THIS SUSPENSION AND IT HELPS THE CAR STOP WELL AND IT TRACKS JUST FINE. SOME PEOPLE THINK THE CAR NEEDS WIDER WHITE WALLS AND A NEW OWNER COULD MAKE THAT CHANGE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR CAME FROM ALABAMA BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE. THE MAN I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION WITH THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT RUNS GREAT AND PERFORMS VERY WELL. IT DRIVES STRAIGHT AND TRUE AND IS FREE FROM STRANGE NOISES OR CREAKS ETC. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND A 332 CUBIC INCH ENGINE WITH A 2 BARREL CARB. THE ENGINE STARTS RIGHT UP, PURRS LIKE A KITTEN, SUPPLIES PLENTY OF POWER AND NEEDS NOTHING. I HAD ALL FLUIDS CHANGED THE YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND EVERYTHING MECHANICAL IS IN EXCELLENT OPERATING CONDITION. THE ENGINE OIL WAS CHANGED THIS SEASON. THE UNDER HOOD AREA IS DETAILED TO A HIGH DEGREE AND LOOKS GOOD. I SUBSCRIBE TO ALL THE OLD CAR PUBLICATIONS AND THE PRICE GUIDES AND AUCTION RESULT GUIDES. 1959 IS THE MOST POPULAR YEAR FOR THE RETRACTABLES AND RED IS THE BEST COLOR FOR ANY COLLECTIBLE CAR. VEHICLES LIKE THIS HAVE SOLD FOR AS MUCH AS $69,000 IN RECENT AUCTIONS. YES, YOU CAN BUY A RETRACTABLE FOR MUCH LESS THAN MY BUY- IT-NOW PRICE. REMEMBER, MANY OF THESE CARS WERE RUST BUCKETS AND ALL THE BODY PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS VEHICLE. ONE CAN BUY NEW FLOOR PANS. OTHER SHEET METAL, THE LUGGAGE BUCKET FOR THE BACK, AND MUCH OF THE OTHER PARTS. THIS CAR IS ORIGINAL AS ANY 55 YEAR OLD CAR CAN BE AND HAS NO RUST. PLEASE CALL ME AT 585-259-3958 WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER CARS FROM MY COLLECTION CURRENTLY ON EBAY. THE CAR IS GARAGED IN FAIRPORT NY WHICH IS A SUBURB OF ROCHESTER NY. TRANSPORTATION TO THE BUYER'S HOME IS COMPLETELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I WILL COOPERATE WITH THE SHIPPER YOU CHOOSE. THE VEHICLE IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO GUARANTEE. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS IN TIP-TOP SHAPE AND THE NEW OWNER WILL NOT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON RECONDITIONING. YOU CAN FIND LESS COSTLY RETRACTABLE HARDTOPS, BUT NOW AS NICE AND AS SHARP AS THIS ONE. THANKS VINCE. |

Buy Ford and GM stock and make 5%
Tue, Feb 2 2016Want to make a five-percent return when 10-year treasuries are paying around two percent? Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) have solid balance sheets, strong cash flow, solid earnings, and growing markets. By all accounts, they are smart investments. But the market is down on these stocks. Why? Some of the stupid excuses include: They are cyclical companies The Detroit 3 have lost 3.5 million in sales since 2000 The world economy is shaky GM recently filed for bankruptcy Their markets have peaked They haven't changed their ways Let's take these criticisms one by one: They Are Cyclical Companies Yes, they are cyclical. Every company is cyclical. Every industry is cyclical. Some more than others, but not every company is immune from swings in the market. Banks used to be 'non-cyclical' leader, not anymore. Airline stocks are just as cyclical as auto stocks, yet they are trading at multiples greater than the auto industry. Why? And what accounts for the irrational stock price for Tesla (TSLA)? At least Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) make money and have positive cash flows. In fact, both companies have a net positive cash position. They have more cash on hand than liabilities. Auto sales in the United States hit a record 17.5 million vehicles in 2015. During the Great Recession, Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) cut their break even points to 10 million vehicles per year. Anything above an annual U.S. volume of 10 million vehicles is profit. And what a profit they make. Sales of Ford's F-150 continues to be the best-selling vehicle in the United States for over 30 years. Detroit 3 Have Lost 3.5 million in Sales Since 2000 Automotive News reports General Motors (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler (FCA) have lost a combined 3.5 million vehicles sales since 2000. So how can they be making more money? Two big reasons – Fleet Sales and the UAW. Fleet Sales The Detroit 3 used to own car rental companies to keep their factories running. Ford owned Hertz (HTZ), General Motors owned all of National Car Rental and 29 percent of Avis, and Chrysler, the forerunner to Fiat Chrysler (FCA), used to own Thrifty Car Rental and Dollar Rent-A-Car. The Detroit 3 owned these rental companies to have a place to sell their bad product and keep their factories running. These were low margin sales, and in many cases, were money losers for the Detroit 3. They no longer own auto rental companies.

Winnebago re-introduces classic Brave RV [w/video]
Fri, Jun 6 2014Winnebago is saying 'Let's do the time warp again,' using its new Brave RV to do it – have a look at the first Winnebago RV from 1966 and you'll know exactly where this one comes from. The modern version of this swinging sixties motorhome is accurate from its size, either 26- or 27-foot version, to its trademark eyebrow above the front windshield. The foldaway bunk above the front seats that necessitated the eyebrow design has been updated, and is now a power bed that descends from the ceiling. It is among a set of standard features that also includes a 19-foot motorized awning, leveling jacks at all four corners, heated mirrors, LED ceiling lights, two available floorplans and detailing like a workstation for the front passenger, a sliding dash cluster and and a waterfall countertop in the kitchen with built-in extensions. The Brave sits on a Ford F53 chassis complete with its Triton V10 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. No word yet on any potential diesel alternatives. Naturally, that 1966 price of $4,000 will also come in for an update, but the company hasn't yet revealed it. The good folks from Winnebago will be happy to take you on a thorough personal tour of the Brave in the video below. This content is hosted by a third party.
