 This 1965 Galaxie 500xl convertible was owned by my father and I have recently inherited it. Unfortunately I have no room to store the car and I have too many other toys to justify keeping it.

This car runs great and has the bucket seat interior with electric windows and a new fully functioning top. It was restored a few years back and has a nice matte black paint job, its a very solid car with no rust holes and only minor surface rust present under the gas tank.  The motor is a later model (non roller) 302 with Edelbrock intake and 600 4 barrel carburetor. The transmission is a c-4, 3 speed auto, floor shift. It has an HEI distributor with added chrome valve covers and breather. The car has dual exhaust and the lake pipes are non-functioning. 

There are 2 small rock dings in the front window, all other glass is in good shape, the trim and chrome is in good shape for its age with new smoothies and bfg radials. The drum brakes have been gone through and a dual line master cylinder was added for safety. The jambs of the car were left original and the arm rests are the original white color, all other interior pieces are blue and black and show moderate wear. The dash has some cracks but is completely stock, the aftermarket tac, oil pressure, temp and volts gauges are bolt on, as well as the under dash jvc radio. I have the original electric control for the windows, it needs new contacts, currently we are running a temporary control that does not fit the console. There is also a problem with the control switch for the electric top, but it does go up and down smoothly.

Please call if you have questions, 816.916.4253.  I will also have the car for sale locally, so if you want to make an offer to "buy it now" I will consider it here in town. We will assist with transportation if need be and have shipped cars overseas, so there should not be any issues as long as communication is maintained and a reasonable time frame is met after purchase. A $500 deposit is required with 48 hours of winning bid. If you choose to use paypal, the fees will need to be covered.

If you want to make a long distance drive home, I don't see any reason why the car would not make it, before my dad passed, we took a long 6 hour road trip together with no problems. If the car sells and you choose to go cross country, you will do this at your own risk as the car is 48 years old. I add this because there is always someone asking if it will "make the trip"

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014

Mon, Dec 22 2014

With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Social media star Scott Monty leaves Ford

Thu, 22 May 2014

It seems weird to think that an automaker could have a social media star, but Ford does. Or at least it did. Scott Monty, its Global Digital Communications Manager, led the company's team for almost six years and forged a reputation as being one of the most talented people in corporate social media. But the guru recently announced that he would be leaving the automaker for an undisclosed job elsewhere.
"I just decided the time was right. I am going to take a little time with my family, and I am going to start on a new adventure pretty soon," said Monty in an interview with AdWeek. He also explained a little about his theory of how companies should use social media. In his opinion, it should be a chance to go beyond standard marketing and build a relationship with people. Businesses need to have a broad focus for its online message, and using just one service isn't enough to be successful.
Under his guidance, Ford expanded its Facebook presence significantly. According to AdWeek, it launched the 2010 Explorer on the popular site. Also, when the company wanted to investigate selling electric models, it initially gauged the public's reaction on Facebook and then advertised them there first. Monty has been a major supporter of Twitter as well to broaden the company's communication with the public.
