1966 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door

This is a great original car. Great overall condition, runs and drives great. This is an unrestored, unmodified, untouched original car. It is the original paint, no damage, no repairs and all the doors, hood and trunk fit great with even gaps. It has all the trim, hubcaps and it is complete. It shows just under 56,000 and that is the original miles. I purchased it from the family who owned it all its life. Please read below for all the details.

Engine:

390 Cubic inch

Automatic

Power steering

The car has had a recent tune up, transmission service, brakes checked and carb rebuilt. It goes down the road really well, no knocks, no smoke. It runs, shifts and idles great. When I say recent, it has only 10 miles on it since work has been done by a professional shop.

New tires.

Interior:

The front seat has no rips although the bottom on the driver’s side the material is separated. It may be able to be stretched and fixed.

The back seat is perfect.

The dash has no cracks and has good color.

The carpet is worn and torn on the driver’s side only at the door.

The door panels are worn at the top and bottom although in good shape overall.

The pillar covers are broken and a new set, the right color comes with the car.

The headliner is in good shape except for a small tear near the back seat coat hook.

I have the steering wheel chrome horn ring, it is not on the wheel.

Exterior:

Original paint. It is faded although I think it could be buffed out to drive it as is.

There are a few rust spots, although not big. They are on the passenger left hand door, the size of a quarter. The two rear fenders at the bottom have a little rust. The floors are good, no rust. No rust in the door jambs. The frame and underbody is good.

The trunk has rust on the lip where the latch is. Also the trunk floor has rust although only pin holes through the floor. Easily fixable.

All the trim and emblems are on the car.

The outside mirrors are off the car, I have them and they will come with the car.

The front bumper is rusty on the bottom half. No thru holes, although a little rusty.

The back bumper has surface rust. It is in good shape

Both bumpers are straight, no dents and they are not bent.

All the trim around all the doors, windows, side and around the wheel wells is very good.

All emblems are there.

All glass is good, no cracks.

The light bezels, front and back are good along with the lenses.

The grille has only one small dent which can easily be corrected.

 

This is great original car that runs and drives great, is in great original condition, is very straight and comes with all the parts. You can drive it now and fix it as you go or just leave it like this, buff it out and have a great time for very little money.

Pickup only, no delivery.

Please arrange for pickup soon after winning as the place where I have it stored inside was recently sold and I will no longer have that storage location.

Deposit within 5 days, via Paypal or cash or certified check.

No trades please.

Please feel free to ask questions.

Ford Mustang, F-150, Expedition, and Lincoln Navigator recalled

Wed, Apr 27 2016

The Basics: Ford will recall 201,900 examples of the 2011-2012 F-150, 2012 Expedition, 2012 Mustang, and 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The affected vehicles have the 6R80 transmission. Of the total, there are 84,000 of them in the United States and 17,900 in Canada. The Problem: The output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame can force the gearbox to downshift into first gear. If this happens at high speed, it could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported injuries, but Ford know of three accidents related to this problem. The Fix: Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to eliminate the problem, and they'll also replace the transmission lead frame. If You Own One: Ford will begin notifying affected customers by mail on May 23.

Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall and customer satisfaction program for certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles in North America to update powertrain control module software and inspect for certain diagnostic trouble codes Ford is issuing a safety recall for approximately 202,000 2011-2012 Ford F-150, and 2012 Ford Expedition, Ford Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles for a potential issue with the output speed sensor on the vehicle's transmission lead frame. Under certain conditions, the transmission controls could force a temporary downshift into first gear. Depending on the speed of the vehicle at the time of the downshift, the driver could experience an abrupt speed reduction that could cause the rear tires to slide or lock up. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Ford is aware of three reports of accidents and no injuries related to this condition. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 6R80 transmission and include certain 2011-2012 Ford F-150 vehicles built at Dearborn Truck Plant and Kansas City Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through March 9, 2012; 2012 Ford Expedition vehicles built at Kentucky Truck Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Dec. 19, 2011; Ford Mustang vehicles built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Aug. 19, 2011 through Feb.

NHTSA closes Ford F-150 EcoBoost acceleration probe

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Typically when we report on the findings of an investigation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it's because the government body has discovered a safety issue and prescribed a recall. In this case, however, NHTSA has closed an investigation into a reported performance deficit without ever getting to the recall stage.
The issue revolves around the Ford F-150 - specifically those equipped with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine - of which some 360,000 were built in the 2011, 2012 and 2013 model years. After receiving an initial 95 complaints, NHTSA opened an investigation last May - almost a year ago - into the reported issue of reduced engine power under hard acceleration. The agency has since received a total of 525 such complaints, and Ford itself reported receiving over 4,000.
Together, NHTSA and Ford determined that the problem resulted from cylinders misfiring, an issue itself stemming from water getting into the charge air cooler (CAC) mated to the turbochargers. In particularly humid or rainy conditions, water was found to get into the CAC, causing some of the cylinders to misfire, which in turn triggered the ECU to disable those cylinders in order to protect the catalytic converter from damage.

Plug In 2014: ALTe ready to join Ford's EQVM to convert, sell F-150 PHEV [w/video]

Mon, Aug 4 2014

It's been a while since we've checked in with ALTe and its plans to convert big work vehicles like the Ford F-150 into plug-in hybrids. So, when we saw a demonstration vehicle sitting outside the San Jose Convention Center at the Plug In 2014 Conference last week, we had to get a closer look. When we did, we realized that it's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. It's been quite some time since we've been in a Ride & Drive vehicle that was all beat to heck. The reason for the well-worn F-150 with 30,000 miles on it is that ALTe has been showing off its extended-range EV technology to lots of people all around the country, and Kyle Maki has been the man on the scene more often than not. "This one, I've taken all over the country," he told AutoblogGreen. "I've wore out that seat, I think. The only reason this one wasn't driven here was because we were in Charlotte [NC] last week and I didn't want to take a chance and not make it in time for this event." In other words, ALTe is out there, ginning up excitement for the idea of a plug-in hybrid Ford with an electric range of up to 40 miles and which can then continue on gas for another 360 miles at around about 25 miles per gallon. ALTe wants to not only convert new vehicles but it also offers retrofits for fleets that are happy with their current fleet. The company offers converted versions of the Ford E350 and E450 utility vehicles now but the near-mythical F-150 PHEV is still "coming soon." Yes, orders are now being accepted, but you will be forgiven if you think this is all happening on a slow time scale. There are simply a lot of things to do before ALTe can sell the truck. ALTe is currently attempting to join Ford's EQVM program, which is the electric version of the standard Qualified Vehicle Modifiers program. The QVM program requires coachbuilders to "be successfully evaluated by Ford Motor Company on criteria such as engineering, the manufacturing process, quality control, and adherence to Ford and Lincoln Divisions guidelines." Qualified applicants must also meet all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, conform to Ford/Lincoln conversion guidelines and agree to be inspected annually as well as have a "commitment to continuous improvement." Maki has a simpler explanation. "It basically means you're a preferred supplier, a Tier 1, if you will," he said.
