1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible on 2040-cars

65 Galaxie 500 convertible. I bought this car with intent to restore, but must sell for down payment on home. I do not have the title for this car, but it may be possible to hunt it down. I bought it from a guy who wanted it for body panels and parts and he bought it from a salvage yard. He says they had the title but he didn't need it. However when I tried to get it from the salvage yard they couldn't find it and must have misplaced or lost it. The floors will need repaired or replaced, but the rest of the body is almost rust free. The frame of the car is not in as good shape. Some guys told be it was repairable, but I would replace it. All doors open and close beautifully and all body lines and panel gaps line up and are even, so the frame isn't collapsing or anything. I found very nice original frames on here out of Washington state for $1200 shipped in US. Looks like passenger side door was hit lightly at some point and repaired. All other body panels look decently straight and without any major rust. The car is 99% complete. I believe the only parts missing are the original air cleaner and the clock on the dash. I was told the car was garage kept until it was vandalized, as you can see with the top, windshield and window glass. Then it was pushed outside until it was sent to salvage yard. This car is very restorable. Every things there. Runs and drives. 352 v8 with cruise-o-matic trans. Besides the bumpers all the chrome trim is in tact and mostly very straight and in good condition. The lower body molding on passenger side will need a little straightening. I do not have keys for it.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile
Wed, 27 Mar 2013We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
Mulally will stay close to Ford after he steps down, plans to advise Fields [w/video]
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally has less than a week left in his role of leading the Blue Oval before he hands off duties to Mark Fields on July 1. It doesn't look like Mulally is going to be shuffling off into his retirement anytime soon, though. The 68-year-old is being rather secretive about his next move, but he tells Bloomberg in a recent interview that he plans to stay close to Ford. Also, if Fields wants to ask for any advice, Mulally is happy to help.
Mulally took over at Ford in 2006 and led the company through a seriously rough patch in the auto industry. According to Bloomberg, he became famous or his Thursday meetings where executives were forced to deal with any problems before they could leave. Since announcing his retirement from Ford in May, Mulally has been insuring a smooth transition of power by traveling the world to all of company's major locations and saying goodbye to employees and dealers.
In terms of the future at Ford, Mulally doesn't predict any big changes in management style because the rest of the executive team is staying in place. He believes that Fields is going to maintain the processes already in place to keep things going. After all, it seems to be working. The company is predicting a return to profitability in Europe next year and is opening 88 new dealers in China. If the business could get its recalls under control, things could get even better.
Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime
Fri, 04 Oct 2013Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
