1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
Bay Shore, New York, United States
|
The car is in good condition for its age it has its original paint on it, from what I can see it has not been repaired or any structural damage due to a crash or accident, the body panels are straight and in good shape however there is some rust spots along the fender trim in the rear quarter panels, there is some other rust spots on the battery tray, and the inner fenders but nothing serious, the floor panels are solid and in good condition the worst rust spot is probably on the trunk drivers side (please look at pictures) and the frame rail under passenger's door.
The engine runs very strong and with no issues it has an Edelbrock intake manifold and a holly carburetor, there is not much I can say about it except that it has not failed me in over two years that I own the car, the transmission shifts smoothly and again it has not fail me yet . I have not done any custom work on this car myself so its as original as when I got it. The interior need a little work the bench seat has a couple of rips on the drivers and passenger side that has been taped off. (lol) there is a crack on the dash board where the speaker is and the headliner needs to be repaired, but obviously non of this affects the drive-ability of the car . Again is a really cool looking car that I use personally almost every day in the summer time, I take it to shows and swap meets and always get compliments on it. I bought the car about two years ago with the intention of restoring it but I have too many other projects and no time for a full scale restoration project besides I have too much fun driving it . I've done a couple of things to it like : a new radiator, new sway bar bushings and end links , new front shocks, rebuild the power steering box , new belts, new exhaust manifold gaskets, it has a modern stereo under the dash. (original radio still in the car) it has a set of vintage keystone wheels with sport radial tires about 80% tread on them , I also have the original steel wheels with original hub caps. This auction has a low reserved, so please ask any questions before bidding the buyer is responsible for picking up the car after paying for it in full. also this car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it becomes unavailable. any question write me an email or feel free to call me 718-926-0511 I'm available to show the car any time upon request in long island NY. |

Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
