1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible -- X Code 352 Engine with floor mounted A/C (dealer option) 352 cruisomatic, P/S P/B Factory Red with a Red interior. The data plate numbers show that the original exterior color was white but has been repainted to exterior RED. Quite stunning actually. You see a lot of Red Galaxies with a black or white interior, but rarely red. Its a bold color combo perfect for convertibles. This is an original Galaxie XL with the bucket seat interior and not some bench seat version with an interior cobbled from a hardtop. I purchased this car in 2008. When I first got it, it was a good running car that just needed some minor mechanical work and cosmetics. It has its original X code 352 engine and transmission. Back then I repainted it to RED, chromed the bumpers replaced the top and did some upholstery work. I drove it to shows and in parades, and then I parked it inside for 5 years. (It is amazing how fast the years go by) Now my life has changed and I should pass it along for someone else to enjoy. It was a nice straight, totally rust free car before I painted it in 2009. It is still shiny but sitting under a cover in the garage it has developed some chips, scratches and a ding in the fender where something fell on it. The bumpers have some defects popping through the old re-chrome but they still look nice. The rear bottom quarter panels has some paint bubble but not no paint chips. The seats were reupholstered in the correct pattern at some point before I got it and remain soft and comfortable. The door panels are original and have some fading and cracking. The carpet is clean with no visible stains with no tears. The original padded dash is wonderful! It remains soft and without cracks. The top was replaced 4 years ago. It was covered for storage and has held up very well. It retains the correct glass rear window.
I recently pulled it from storage, changed the oil and fired it up. It started easily and now runs well. The power brake booster and master cylinder were bad so I put a new master and booster on it last week. Also the carb jets where cleaned. It drives well but before driving it any distance I would recommend new belts, hoses and all those little maintenance things that go bad from sitting. The bias ply tires were new 5 years ago and have accumulated maybe 500 miles. The odometer shows 54600 miles. It is tight and rattle free, but who knows how accurate that number might be. This is an honest car that remains in the condition that these cars were found and restored to 20+ years ago. It would be a fun car to enjoy as is or would be an excellent car to re-restore to modern standards. Last time I offered this car it came so close to hitting the reserve. Now I realize that it really must go so I have listed with no reserve. Legal Text: I make no warranties on this car, personal inspection can be arranged and if you desire pictures of anything just ask! If you have any other questions please ask! A $500 non-refundable deposit within 3 days is required. The deposit is payable through paypal however remaining balance due must be paid in cash or bank wire transfer. The certificate of title and the vehicle will not be released until full payment has been received & cashed. I have stored it for the last 5 years and I certainly do not want to continue storing it so the car should be removed within 30 days. I moved it outside of my garage (to get some room) and neither you nor I, want it to sit outside any longer than is absolutely necessary. I am being honest about offering this vehicle to you; I expect the same courtesy of having you be honest about buying it. Bids from buyers with less than 10 positive feedbacks will be summarily rejected. Your winning bid is a commitment to complete the purchase, NOT re-negotiate the deal in my driveway. The vehicle will stay with me until cleared, certified funds are in my possession. Thanks you for looking and reading this and Good Luck in your bidding. |

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.

Ford made three big mistakes in calculating MPG for 2013 C-Max Hybrid
Tue, Jun 17 2014It's been a rough time for the official fuel economy figures for the Ford C-Max Hybrid. When the car was released in 2012, Ford made a huge deal about how it would beat the Toyota Prius V, which was rated at 42 combined miles per gallon, 44 city and 40 highway. The Ford? 47 mpg across the board. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? Well, after hearing customer complaints and issuing a software update in mid-2013, then discovering a real problem with the numbers last fall and then making a big announcement last week that the fuel economy ratings of six different 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles would need to be lowered, the C-Max Hybrid has ended up at 40 combined, 42 city and 37 highway. In other words, the Prius trumps it, as daily drivers of those two vehicles have known for a long time. The changes will not only affect the window sticker, but also the effect that the C-Max Hybrid (and the five other Ford vehicles that had their fuel economy figures lowered last week) have on Ford's compliance with greenhouse gas and CAFE rules for model year 2013 and 2014. How did Ford come to this place, where its Prius-beater turned into an also-ran? There are two technical answers to that question, which we've got below, as well as some context for how Ford's mistakes will play out in the bigger world of green vehicles. Let's start with Ford's second error, which is easy to do since we documented it in detail last year (the first, needing to do a software update, was also covered). The basic gist is that Ford used the general label rule (completely legally) to test the Fusion Hybrid and use those numbers to figure out how efficient the C-Max Hybrid is. That turned out to be a mistake, since the two vehicles are different enough that their numbers were not comparable, despite having the same engine, transmission and test weight, as the rules require. You can read more details here. Ford's Said Deep admitted that the TRLHP issue is completely separate from the general label error from last year. Now let's move on to last week's announcement. What's interesting is that the new recalculation of the MPG numbers – downward, of course – was caused by a completely separate issue, something called the Total Road Load Horsepower (TRLHP). Ford's Said Deep admitted to AutoblogGreen that the TRLHP issue had nothing to do with the general label error from last year.
