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 rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]
Sun, 29 Jun 2014If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
