Los Angeles, California, United States

1965 Ford Galaxie 2DR Hardtop, 390 C.I. Big Block V8, 4 Barrel Carb, Dual Exhaust, 3 SPD Automatic.
Car runs and drives fine.

Shocks and Suspension bushings recently redone front and rear. New Drum brakes all the way around. Radiator was replaced 4 years ago. The old Interior is shot, It’s all there, but the seats need new foam and upholstery. I’ve just been cruising it around for the last couple years with blankets over them. Fun to cruise with the front and rear windows down, showing off the hard top’s lines in the nice weather. The body lines are straight but it does have some rust. The trunk floor is rusted out, but elsewhere in the trunk area is rock solid. The Left rear qtr will need some work eventually. The dual exhaust sounds great. This 2 door hard top looks good cruising. Its got a well maintained “15 ft paint job” from a repaint some years ago. Garage kept for the last 8 years.

Aluminum slotted mag wheels and good rubber all around. Mechanically sound. It starts, stops, turns and rides as it should. This is a great looking old car that can be had for less money than some crazy guys spend on a set of wheels and tires. Clear CA Title in hand. It’s a 49 year old American Car. Real Steel throughout! All lights, gauges, turn signals, etc work! It’s been maintained to regularly drive around to the local car shows and cruise ins and to go to the drive in movies with your honey. I'd like to sell to an adult (motor head or even a fledgling motor head is a plus) who will enjoy it understanding it isn’t a new Honda. It’s a fun old Ford. Low reserve, Bid, Buy, and have fun!

Some very cool decoding of it’s production code:

5N66Z100312 63B - O - 57 - 28H - 22 - 1 - 4

5 = 1965
N = Norfolk, Virginia assembly plant
66 = Ford Galaxie 500 2-door hardtop product code
Z = 390 4V V-8 engine
100312 = the 312th Ford scheduled for production at Norfolk for the 1965 model year
63B = Ford Galaxie 500 2-door hardtop body style code
O = Tropical Turquoise (Ditzler Mix Code 12852)
57 = Turquoise cloth and vinyl interior
28H = scheduled for production on August 28, 1964
22 = Charlotte, North Carolina ordering district
1 = 3.00:1 rear axle ratio
4 = Cruise-O-Matic transmission
As you can see this car was one of the first that were produced at the Norfolk Plant for '65!

a Hardtop coupe with wing windows! Wing windows are awesome! It also has the neat little pull open vents in the front kick panels that are fully functional.

I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally for the reserve price. If you bid above the reserve, then game on! It will be yours if you win the auction.  I've tried to accurrately represent this car. But please ask questions if needed. Yes, its ready to drive a crusis as-is today! Just expect to throw a blanket over the seats until you get them re-done.

I can arrange to meet you or your car carrier/transport service. $1000 of the purchase price needs to be paid within 3 days of the end of auction through PAYPAL or express mailed cashier’s check. Balance to be paid in full before pick up.

If the seats were already reupholstered, this would be a $7000+car. But upholstery doesn't make it run, drive, and cruise, right? As a reminder, all lights, switches, signal etc. work. thanks to those who are calling, bidding, and asking good questions

Ford F-150 King Ranch celebrates 'history and authenticity' for 2015 [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

What's life like on an authentic Texas ranch? We honestly have no idea, having never lived on such a ranch, but we imagine it requires lots of hard work, grit and determination to keep all 825,000 acres - that's larger than the state of Rhode Island - of the King Ranch in Texas under control. Indeed, a total of 350 vehicles, all of which come from Ford, we're told, are currently in use by the ranch. No wonder, then, that the collaboration between Ford and King Ranch has lasted for 15 successful years.
For 2015, in celebration of that 15th anniversary, Ford is debuting three new King Ranch models today at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The most significant is the 2015 F-150 King Ranch, which, naturally, will add unique interior and exterior bits and pieces to the new aluminum-intensive F-Series pickup. Color choices will consist of Caribou, Bronze Fire, Guard and Ruby Red Metallic Clearcoat, with a range of two-tones to go along with a monochromatic scheme in Caribou. Inside, a bespoke King Ranch interior will be swathed in Premium Mesa Brown leather.
Joining the F-150 King Ranch on dealership floors later this year will be 2015 King Ranch editions of the Super Duty pickup and Expedition fullsize SUV, all of which will offer similar levels of content. Scroll down for more details and two videos from Ford, and be sure to check out the high-res image gallery above, which was shot by the official State Photographer of Texas, Wyman Meinzer.

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014



The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.

2015 Ford Mustang leaked in Autoweek

Tue, 03 Dec 2013

We would have to imagine that Ford knew it couldn't keep its 2015 Mustang under wraps for too long, and with only days to go before the pony car's official unveiling, the dam seems to be cracking. SVTPerformance.com member Screamin 40th just posted some images taken of the sixth-gen Mustang prominently featured in and on the cover of the December 9 issue of Autoweek magazine.
These images show that recent renderings we saw weren't too far off. The face is just like what we saw in spy shots a few months back, but the rear of the car features some of its more striking cues. Starting with the pronounced haunches and hidden B-pillars, the rear view of the new Mustang might be its best with the ridged, three-bar taillights, a rear diffuser and the lack of a faux gas cap, which allows the galloping pony to be an even more prominent element against the black trim.
The images also reveal a small portion of the updated interior carrying over retro themes like the deep-dish steering wheel and dual-gauge instrument cluster, but it also adds some modern tech with a big infotainment displays and a clean center stack layout. No official word on powertrain or other specs, but while we can't make out most of the magazine's text, our eyes did catch mentions of an independent rear suspension and a 200-pound weight reduction.
