1966 Ford Galaxie Base 6.4l on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:87108 Color: are on both rear wheel arches

Cullowhee, North Carolina, United States

Up for sell is a running 2 door Galaxie with a 390, C6, and 9 inch rear with 3:00 gearing with 87,108 miles on the clock that I do believe to be fairly accurate. This was to be a project car, but I need the money to pay for school, more then I need the car right now.

The engine has a 4 barrel Edelbrock carb and an aluminum intake. I do not know the maker of the intake or the size of the carb. I cannot prove it but I am pretty sure the car had a 2 barrel carb from the factory.  The interior is worn, but the person I bought it from placed new carpet in it as well as floor mats. I believe if it was cleaned it would look great. The front seats have tears in it, mostly on the driver’s seat. I think most; if not all of the large trip pieces are with the car. They are in pretty good shape accept for the wheel arch molding witch was slightly bent and dinged up when the previous owner removed them. The original wheel covers are included. There are some small trim pieces missing.

The car started life as a raven black car with a Wimbledon white top. Sometime later the top was painted black also. The only major rust issues on the exterior are on both rear wheel arches. Both have holes in them that have been patched by the previous owner with body filler. He had also started sanding the car to paint it when he sold it to me. The battery box is also a rust issue like most old vehicles. The radiator support has some holes that would need to be patched. The bottom of the trunk has rust as well as the lid where the latch is. The bumpers are also rusted and would need to be rechromed.

The car has four wheel manual drum brakes. The person I bought it from told me that he had just had them redone so they should be pretty new. The brake pedal in the car says power disk brake, so I do not know what is original. The car has power steering and A/C. The A/C compressor and a bracket where in a box in the trunk, when I got the car. I do not think it is a factory air car, but was added on later. There is also a chip in the windshield.

The car does run and can be driven onto a trailer. The car has aluminum wheels and the tires on it are in good shape. The lights all work as far as I can tell. Headlights, high beams, turn, brake, and the light inside the trunk works. I am not sure the fuel gauge works. The speedometer does move, but I have not driven it very far to tell how accurate it is, since it does not have a tag. The padded dash is torn up and a newer cover is placed over it that matches the carpet and the radio does not work.

Buyer is responsible for pick up, but can assist in loading. Cash or cashier check only. Pick up must be within 3 days of close of auction.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.

Ford Recalls Nearly 435,000 Vehicles

Mon, Apr 7 2014

Ford is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats. The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford says the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem. The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads. Six Canadian provinces also are included. Dealers will install a reinforcement brace to fix the problem. The Escapes covered by the recall were built from Oct. 22, 1999 through Dec. 19, 2003 at the Kansas City Assembly plant, and from May 1, 2003 through Jan. 23, 2004 at the Ohio Assembly plant, Ford said in a statement issued Monday. They were originally sold or registered in Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin, Delaware, Maine, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, Indiana, Michigan, New York, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Also covered are Escapes sold or registered in Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland & Labrador. The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly. No crashes or injuries have been reported from the problem, Ford said. Recalls Ford

Former Ford CEO Mulally won't run for president

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Alan Mulally will not be following his successful term as president and CEO of Ford Motor Company with a run at an even bigger presidency. Rumors that the 68-year-old former Boeing exec would make a run at the White House sprouted after his apparent dodging of a reporter's questions about a potential candidacy during a forum in Indianapolis.
"I really think it's important that we all pull together. We really need to pull together around a compelling vision for our country and a comprehensive strategy to do it and work together. We really need to do it," Mulally said at the conference, according to The Detroit News.
He's since clarified by saying, "[I'm] honored at the suggestion, but that is not a role I am considering."
