Bedford, Ohio, United States
|
This is a 1965 Galaxie 500 2 door. 289 engine. The VIN number is included in the pictures. I found this along with (6) 65, 66 and 67 Galaxies in a barn in NE Ohio. All are Red. I bought two, a friend of mine bought one and the others are currently not for sale. I did not meet the owner. I dealt with a friend of the owner. The property they were found on has several buildings, all are barns or storage. I am going to sell both of the ones I purchased. Here is what I know about this one: I did not try to start it. The passenger front tire is locked up. The body is in great shape. On fender is dented (see pics.) The bumpers have a grease on them to protect them. It has been stored for quite a while. The interior including the dash pad look great. I took pictures with my phone. This is a project car or parts. I was told one owner, original miles and the interior reflects this. The divers door armrest is broken but included. The horn ring is also not on the steering wheel but included. I did not open the trunk, (no key) It looks good underneath with the exception of the frame rails under the doors. They will need attention. All chrome and trim is pretty much dent free. I encourage and inspection, sold as is. $500.00 deposit within 24 hours of winning bid, balance on pick up.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US
Thu, 18 Jul 2013YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.
Ken Block rally cars go blue in the face (and everywhere else)
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Well at least we now know why Ken Block "just ain't care" about smashing up his Ford Fiesta rally car recently. It's because he's getting a full brand makeover including a new team name, new paint scheme and even a new headquarters. Formerly known as Monster World Rally Team, Block and his Fiesta will now be competing under the Hoonigan Racing Division name, which is based out of a new 12,000 square foot facility located in Park City, UT.
As you can tell in the image above, Hoonigan Racing will replace the familiar black, white and green paint scheme with a more colorful design featuring plenty of blue, purple and red; the Monster Energy logo retains some of the car's green. The new paint scheme was inspired by Block's love of skateboard graphics from the '80s and early '90s as well as "Miami Vice-era" speedboats.
Block will continue to compete in multiple rally racing series such as Global RallyCross, World Rally Championship and X Games. The new headquarters features office space on one side and a shop for the cars on the other side. The building features plenty of stuff you'd expect from a company designed around Ken Block, including a massive gaming station for racing video games, recycled shipping containers used throughout the facility and a black bear.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.
