Outstanding convertible very well cared for over many years.  Body is laser straight, paint excellent, interior superb.  All original with 1 exterior repaint many years ago.  Less than 80,000 actual miles. 

Paint:  excellent with very few flaws.  Body panels are not only straight, but all body lines are at factory settings and doors, trunk and hood all open and close like a brand new car.

Interior:  Unbelievably well preserved all original interior.  All seams, accents, and vinyl and plastic parts are like new.  Vinyl is supple.  Dash is not cracked or warped.  Carpet is excellent but is faded in a few areas.   Dye it and it will look like new.  There is no musty smell. 

Engine:  Runs excellent.  Does not knock, miss or burn any oil.  Drive anywhere in confidence.  I took it on a 2,000 plus mile vacation with no issues.  Currently has an exhaust manifold leak.

Top:  Completely serviceable but has some dark staining starting to show.  Another item that can be dyed and it will look like new.  Has perfect glass rear window.  Top boot is original, fits perfectly and is also still in excellent condition.  Top is aligned correctly and goes up and down fast.

Misc:  Tires are excellent, maybe 90% of tread left.  Whitewalls.  Factory spinner hubcaps are excellent. Stainless skirts are like new.  I added aftermarket cruise control & it works like it should. AM radio works fine, as do wipers and all other accessories except clock.  Glass is all excellent.  Although I have owned this car for about 12 years or so, I have never waxed it and never armoralled the vinyl.  I just keep it clean and dry.

Rust:  None except surface rust on a few underside areas where there is no undercoating.

I looked for a top-tier 65 Galaxie 500 XL for years before I bought this one and it has not disappointed me.  It will not disappoint you either.  Call Mike 719-660-5504 for any additional details.

As always, no warranty is expressed or implied.  International bidders welcome.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  I will make car available for pickup.

I will be happy to provide any additional photos you might want.

Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.

Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for

Mon, Nov 27 2017

The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful — and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard — with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Sat, 17 Aug 2013

Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
