Up for sale 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible. My youngest son and I purchased this car 6 years ago from a 94 year old widow in Carey, Ohio. It was in her garage and had been sitting many years and did not run. Her husband bought the car over 35 years ago to fix up. The story goes from his widow was shortly after he purchased the car he had it repainted in the original black color. The car was brought home from the paint shop and put up on blocks in the garage. Before he could proceed with finishing the car he became ill and passed away. My son and I wanted a project to do together so we purchased the car here on ebay. The car was dirty but complete except the original canvas top was in tatters. After we trailered the car home we did a thorough inspection. We removed what was left of the old carpet and were pleasantly surprised to see the floor pans were solid. We cleaned them and painted them with Rustoleum. Underneath the car was heavily undercoated when new. The frame is very nice and solid. The trunk pan is also. We did find a small amount of rust under the right taillight inside the trunk and on the left front inner fender under where the windshield washer bag goes. The rest of the car is very nice. The 35 year old paint was not perfect but too nice to re-do again. The old paint was wet sanded and buffed to a mirror finish. There are a few small paint chips and scratches but no dings or dents in the paint. We also did the following:
Installed all new brakes including all new drums and power brake booster. Installed a new quiet dual exhaust system. Installed 5 new tires. Did a valve job on the heads and planed the exhaust manifolds. New White convertible top with an all new weatherstrip kit. The top frame was cleaned and painted. New Red top boot and well liner. New carpet and new door panels. NOS clock, steering wheel, shift lever, turn signal lever, shifter indicator, outside door handles, Galaxie 500 fender emblems, inside rear view mirror, antenna, painted headlight bezels, horn ring assembly with emblem NORS hood and trunk letters, hood and trunk emblems, outside mirrors, taillight lenses, headlight door seals, trunk seal, trunk mat set, sunvisor pivots, fuel tank sending unit, inside armrests, New tinted windshield,New heater core and New heater resistor for the blower motor speeds New Holley 4BBL carburetor New battery and tune up, new hoses and belts, radiator removed and cleaned and checked Fuel tank removed, cleaned and sealed New power steering hoses New wiper blades Rechromed front and rear bumpers, all of the inside windshield trim, taillight frames, headlight frames, armrest bases Instrument cluster housing rechromed and painted the correct red and black Transmission completely rebuilt. The seat covers are ok but could use new ones. The car starts right up and the blue cold light comes on. The top works perfectly. There are no leaks anywhere on this car. The car is a pleasure to drive. Everything on this car works even the back up lights. My son and I have enjoyed this car very much but it is time to turn it over to a new owner. I have tried to describe everything I could think of. This is a very nice Galaxie convertible with a nice color combination. Thanks for your interest. |

Ford cuts 950 Russian jobs on weak demand
Thu, 03 Apr 2014The Russian auto market, in decline for the past year and further hit by the declining value of the ruble and recent sanctions over its annexation of Crimea, has forced Ford to cut jobs and shifts at two of its joint venture plants there. Around 700 of the 2,700 total workers who build the Russian-market Focus and Mondeo will be cut at the plant in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg as it drops to a single production shift. A second plant about 700 miles away in Yelabuga, in the Tartarstan region, will lose 250 workers. That plant builds seven vehicles, including the Explorer, Kuga and Edge.
The Moscow Times says Ford has been especially hit by the market decline, the overall market losing 5.5 percent in 2013 compared to the year before, but Ford sales dropping 18 percent in 2013 year-on-year. This year isn't going any better, with The Blue Oval posting a 21-percent decline through the first two months of 2014. That's why, though the Yelabuga plant builds the CUVs that customers are moving into, even it is facing cuts.
The job cuts in Vsevolozhsk come on top four-week plant shutdown planned so that the paint and body shops can go to one shift. In a statement, the company said, "Ford Sollers remains absolutely committed to the Russian market and is confident it has the right product plan, people and assets to deliver long-term profitable growth."
Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
