1966 Galaxie -2 dr ht
This car is a reliable driving car that needs some tinkering that is all pretty easy small repairs The Mechanical things that need attention -the brakes are really grabby,unless you pump them a little first.Pretty darn sure this is an air bubble and the brakes need to be bleed. -the carb has a bit of run on ,it is running rich and just needs some fine tuning I beilieve(thus the car failed air care in B.C.) -the fuel gauge doesn't work -the horn works but is wired off the dash -the dip stick on the transmission is broken and there is a bit of a leak at the pan,just needs a new gasket.May need linkage adjusted ,needs to warm up before going into drive,once it is warmed up in the morning,it's good for the day -the wiper switch is touchy,(I have a spare) the mechanical that has been replaced in the last year -new brakes,rotors and drums -new shocks -new carb -new tires -steering box -battery -all the turn signals and lights work -the car was bought in Washigton and safety inspected when brought into BC.It is a relatively simple process to import a car into the US -previous owner told me he put a rebuilt 392 in,I have no way of verify this however a compression test was done six months ago and it came out with perfect compression -the vin tag says 352,I can't say this is original motor or not.I am pretty sure it has been rebuilt interior -overall quite nice cloth seats quite obviously redone in the last few years -the seats and are nice no rips no tears -the dash was replaced,no cracks -the drivers seat has a bit of sag like an old but its a detail -the door panels are straight,no wrinkles(the knob to a window roller is missing) -the headliner is nice,a small tear \i have tried to capture in pictures overall a very nice interior the body -there is no trim on the car but I have a trunk full of it.The best I can tell is one of the four pieces of stainless around the back window is missing and some of the ford letters,the rest seems to be all there but I cannot say for sure -the paint is a home job and needs to be redone.It has nicks and scrapes. -the floors are solid no holes -the frame has no rust -the trunk is solid,no holes but there has been some fiberglass repair done on the back panel -there is no rust hols in the body,some surface rust here and there,I am sure there has been fiberglass and Bondo here and there -there has been a bit of a crunch(ie back into a pole at low speed in a parking lot)oops.The back bumper has been pulled out and is straight,however there is a but of repair needed,it was not a high speed accident So in short this is a good running car,I have driven and would drive it on the highway just about anywhere you would drive a 45 year old car.I used it as a daily driver and it was alwasys stellar .I have been using this as daily driver and due to impending move I have to thin down my collection.I encourage you to check out the car or if you have any questions please call me at 778 229 5357 On Sep-12-14 at 11:19:17 PDT, seller added the following information: an addendum. The gear selector on the column is a bit off but works fine |

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen
Tue, Jan 19 2016Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350
Tue, 17 Dec 2013During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
