1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback - One Owner Car on 2040-cars
Bristol, Tennessee, United States
|
I am selling a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback. It is a one owner,
survivor car, and I have the original title. I'll attempt to tell
everything I know about it, but I may miss something, or you may have
further questions, so I encourage you to contact me with any concerns
before you bid. Shipping of the car is the sole responsibility of the
purchaser, but I will help in any way I can. I will only sell/ship this
car within the Continental United States. I require a $100.00 (U.S.) via
PayPal within an hour of the auction closing . The remainder can be paid via cash or certified check prior
to, or at time of pick up.
Original specs of the car: 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback VIN: 6U66X778598 VIN Decoded: 6 - 1966 model year, U - Louisville, KY production facility, 66 - Galaxie 500 Fastback, X - 352 C.I.D. with single 4 bbl, 178598 - Serial Number Body Tag Information: Body Code 63B - 2 Door Hardtop, Color Code 8A - Sunlight Yellow with Black Vinyl Top, Trim Code 66 (Interior), Black, Date Code (Production) 21E - May 21, 1966, DSO (District Sales Office) 27 - Cincinnati, OH (after 1-4-1966), Axle Code 1 - 3.00:1 Open, Transmission Code 7 - Cruise-O-Matic FX This car is not in its original configuration. It has a 289 C.I.D, single 2 bbl engine and a C6 transmission from a 1966 Ford Ranchero. The original owner, who passed away, did this several years ago. He also replaced the seats with leather, power seats from a 1967 Lincoln Continental and a custom made dash pad of black vinyl and red carpet. The seats actually look better than the factory seats, and fit well, but the dash pad has to go. He put in inexpensive carpet that should be replaced with something of better quality with a sound deadener. The wheels he put on it are from a 1972 Lincoln Mark IV. They also look very good on the car. I am guessing he did all of this some time in the 1980's. The seats will need to be hooked up to power. The windshield wiper motor is either not connected, or bad. The original radio is in the dash, and does power up, but the speakers are unhooked. The dash lights do not work, and I don't know if it's just bulbs or wiring. The interior lights are in the car, but not hooked up. The headlights and running lights all work, except the high beams. It needs a new floor switch. The turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights all work. The horn works, too. The windows all roll up and down. The driver door operates fine, but something is loose in the passenger door and it will only open from the inside currently. Mechanically the car is in good shape. It has new plugs, wires, rotor button, distributor cap, battery, radiator, upper and lower radiator hoses, front brake shoes, inner and outer wheel bearings and seals on the front, and a new drum and wheel cylinder on the front left. The front left rubber brake line broke when I put the cylinder in, but I have a new hose for each side ready to be installed. I rebuilt the Motorcraft 2150 2 bbl carb and installed a manual choke, but it could stand a good tuning. I also drained, flushed, and replaced the transmission filter. Currently the gas tank is unhooked. It is in good shape, but needs to be dropped, cleaned and hooked back up. Right now the car runs off a one gallon can under the hood. Body wise, the car is straight. The floor pans are solid. The trunk has some surface rust and pitting. There is one hole in it that is about the size of a fist in it. The worst part of the exterior is the roof. The vinyl top was removed and it has glue remnants, surface rust and some pitting. If you go back to a vinyl top it will just need some sanding. If you want to paint it you will need to do a lot of sanding and filling. The fenders are good. The hood has some rust behind the trim on the front drip edge, which is hard to see. The doors have some rust on the bottoms. The quarter panels have some hasty, small bondo patches behind the tires. All the glass is good, but the windshield was taken off to remove the vinyl top, and the silicone sealer used to reinstall is breaking down. It will need to be replaced. I have some small trim pieces, but it's mostly what you see is what you get. That's everything I can think of. This car is about a 6 on a scale of 1-10. If you want a old car to completely restore to showroom condition, you may want to keep looking. You would have more in this one than you could ever get back out of it. If you want a car that you can spend a few thousand and a few weekends on, and then take it to the cruise in on Friday nights, then this one is what you want. Either way, thanks for looking, and ask questions if you have them. |

2016 Ford Fusion hybrid, plug-in getting $900 price cut
Thu, Feb 19 2015While the overall the green car market in the US suffered a slump in 2014 with a 6.5-percent drop in sales, the demand for electric vehicles and plug-ins actually jumped a healthy 28 percent. The Ford Fusion Energi plug-in was among the winners in the segment with a nearly 90 percent boost to 11,550 examples sold for the year. To keep the ball rolling in the face of low gas prices and updated challengers entering the field, the Blue Oval is slashing $900 off the cost of both the Energi and standard Fusion Hybrid to make them even more attractive to buyers. Ford's Monique Brentley told Autoblog that, the reduction was done, "basically, just to attract more customers and promote sales." The cut affects every trim of both electrically assisted versions of the Fusion for the 2016 model year, according to Cars Direct, and it comes without the removal of standard equipment. On the contrary, the Energi reportedly gets a new EcoSelect driving mode that activates additional regenerative braking and more gentle acceleration. The $900 pricing adjustment is only for these models and not available on the versions with only an internal combustion engine, which makes it clear Ford wants to tantalize green car buyers towards this pair. According to Cars Direct, the models should go on sale in late 2015. The least expensive 2016 Fusion Hybrid S will retail for $25,675, plus $825 destination on all of them, and a 2016 Energi start at $33,900. Autoblog's own pricing pages for them show the same numbers (here and here). Cars Direct also predicts for the Blue Oval to keep most incentives in place even after the adjustment. Assuming these figures don't change before the sedans actually go on sale, the price cut makes a 2016 Energi less expensive than a 2015 Chevrolet Volt starting at $34,345 (plus $825 destination). The cost of the updated 2016 model for the Chevy isn't announced yet.
