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. |

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford
Tue, 07 Jan 2014
The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
