 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!

Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.

Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
