Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The body of this 48 year old vehicle is in good condition with only minor surface rust. The existing original chrome will need a good cleaning and polish. The two chrome rocker moldings are missing and could not be found in the storage building. It appears that the vehicle has been repainted from white to the blue color it now sports, this will need a repaint at some point in time but is useable as-is. The interior carpeting needs a thorough cleaning and re-dye. The leather bench seats (front and back) have one split in the stitching but the leather is otherwise in good condition. The door panels and head liner are in fair condition. The convertible top is in good condition, but needs some attention. The only item that seems not to be original are the rims and radio. Please keep in mind that this is a 48 year old car."
The vehicle is a true barn find. This 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible sports a manual transmission with three on the tree. It is a 48 year old vehicle pretty much unmolested. The only items that were changed would be the rims on the car and the radio. The Rims are a turbine style wheel. The previous owner installed a cassette player in place of the radio.
The vehicle and it's 289 CI V8 engine starts, runs, drives and tracks down the road very nice. The three speed operates cleanly with no grinding as the clutch is tight and sound. The motor does not smoke or sputter.
The car sports blue paint which is somewhat faded but it is drivable in this condition. It appears that the vehicle has had one repaint from the original white. There is minor surface rust on the vehicle's body but absolutely NO RUST THROUGH.
All chrome with the exception of the rocker chrome is in place and in pretty nice condition. This could use a good cleaning and buffing.
All windows operate as designed with the glass being in excellent condition. The doors, deck lid and hood open and close tight with proper reveals. Weather-stripping on the doors needs replaced.
The convertible top is electronic and operates flawlessly storing neatly with a boot to cover the storage area. The top could use some repairs on the seams as the stitching has come undone in two spots. The top is very salvageable. The back glass in the convertible top is PPG labeled and is excellent.
The electronic on the vehicle work including the interior lighting, as does the heat and defrost. The interior is in good condition with black leather seating. Again, one of the seam stitching has come undone but the leather is in great condition and pliable and can be easily repaired.
The black carpeting needs a good cleaning and maybe a re-dye. There are cracks in the dash and the steering wheel and is showing its age. The dash may need replaced but the steering wheel is definitely useable. All knobs and handles are in place and original.
The floor boards are solid as is the frame and trunk pan. The trunk pan does have surface rust. There is some rust through at the panel along the lip of the trunk pan. All locks on the vehicle operate with no issues. This is a great vehicle to tool around in with the top down. And if you chose to restore the car it won't take long as overall the car is in great condition.
I have posted this car for a family member. It is not owned by me. This car has a clear Pennsylvania title.
I have detailed the car as I see it and attempted to describe it with its attributes and flaws. Please stop by and see this car in person.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines
Sun, 24 Nov 2013Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.
Ford F-Series Super Duty prototype reduced to smoldering mess of aluminum and steel [UPDATE]
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The most important bit of information you need to know after looking through our high-res gallery of images depicting a prototype 2016 Ford F-Series Super Duty pickup truck burning to the ground is that nobody was hurt. There were two engineers inside the vehicle when it caught fire, and both exited to safety.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the truck, which appears to have been testing in Death Valley, appears to be a total loss, minus, of course, whatever information Ford can glean from the conflagration - particularly tracing it back to its root cause. Besides that, we're also expecting the body of the next Super Duty to be hewn from aluminum, as is the case with its smaller brother, the brand-new F-150. Note the little aluminum droppings littering the roadway as apparent proof of that.
Our spy photographers report that it took just 21 minutes for the F-Series Super Duty to burn completely to the ground. The fire appears to have started in the driver-side front wheel well, spreading to engulf the entire front end in three minutes. We can't confirm the source of the blaze, but we're curious if the car's black vinyl cladding, meant to obscure the secrets within, contributed to the fire.
