1966 Ford Galaxie Convertible, Bucket Seats, Console No Reserve! 81k Red & White on 2040-cars
Richmond, Illinois, United States
|
V-8, 289 with automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top (works fine) with zip out rear glass window, Boot, Bucket seats with Center Console, stereo w cassette player was added and original radio is still in the dash. Same owner since 1985. The car has been in storage for the past 15 years and just recently brought out. Family of the owner said they added new spark plugs, wires, distributer cap, vacuum advance and I believe she said the carb was rebuilt (and it does look clean) My Husband took the car and had the old gas drained, tank removed cleaned and reinstalled, cleared the lines and she fired right up! The old Galaxie runs goods but the car sat for 15 years so she still needs a mechanic to inspect everything (fluids, belts, brakes etc.) Before the car is approved for street driving. You know, Safety First! The car had a repaint back in the 80's. So yes the paint and body work should be redone and add or replace some trim if the new owner chooses as the exterior condition does show cosmetics such as dings, pings, scratches, chips, bubbles..etc. Please see pics! I did take close up pictures of cosmetics but it's hard to see. The owner said the white convertible top was new before the car was put into storage. It does not have holes or tares however the rear inside rail pads have come loose which is common and can be retucked or reattached. Underneath the car appears dirty but solid. The rear exhaust pipe or tail pipe will need replacing in time but it doesn't sound bad yet. Interior could also use a cosmetic help (such as split in seats & dash, faded carpet etc. ) if the new owner desires. The trunk weather strip is dry and peeling, doesn't leak, but could use a new one. I'm no expert and I only wiped the 15 yr old dust off this car but just trying to point out things that I see for your consideration that could use cosmetic reconditioning and perhaps I missed something so If you have any questions or need more pics feel free to ask.

2013 Shelby 1000 unleashes its 1,200 horsepower ahead of NY show reveal
Fri, 22 Mar 2013True story: Last fall, I had the opportunity to spend a week with Ford's new 2013 Shelby GT500 - the Blue Oval's factory Mustang with 662 horsepower and 631 pound-feet of torque. It's an amazing beast, to be sure. I'm not sure if it was Michigan's damp streets strewn with potholes and wet leaves, but at no point did I ever say to myself, "You know, Ford is on to a really good thing here, but what it really needs is about twice the power." And yet, for people in warmer climes with infrastructure in better nick - or for those whose muscle cars live their lives out on the track, there's apparently sufficient demand to warrant just such a beast.
Quick studies will recall that Shelby American launched its 1000 last year to commemorate its 50th anniversary, but it is returning to the New York Auto Show with a fresh version based on the 2013 GT500 I drove. The 2013 Shelby 1000 whips up 1,200 horsepower on pump gas thanks to beefed-up forced induction, engine internals and cooling. Wisely, it also incorporates an adjustable suspension and big brake package to make sure those ponies have the best chance being safely deployed to the ground.
What price the world's most powerful "production" muscle car? $154,995 for starters - donor GT500 not included. What, no convertible variant?
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
2015 Ford Focus Electric hides in plain sight
Wed, 16 Apr 2014The styling changes to the 2015 Ford Focus were shown off at the recent Geneva Motor Show, so what the EV version looks like is not that much of a surprise. Still, the 2015 Focus Electric is making its world debut here at the New York Auto Show, so we wanted to know what changes we are looking at compared to both the internal combustion engine version and the earlier EV models.
The exterior visual distinctions between the ICE and EV are minimal, and basically nonexistent from the A-pillar to the rear. Up front, you can see the charge port, of course, but the front fascia has also undergone a bit of an adjustment. The front doesn't have the ICE version's flattened grille and the EV's Ford logo creates a bump in the hood line where none exists on the ICE. The 2015's grille is also different than the one on the 2014 Focus Electric, being slightly smaller (you can see this better if you compare pictures in our new gallery above to these of the 2011 Focus Electric and these of the gas-powered 2015 Focus).
The updated 2015 interior - which we couldn't access ourselves - has things like a new center stack, improved cupholders and is basically identical between the gas and electric models. With the car off, you can't even tell if you're in an EV or ICE, Seema Bardwaj, the US brand manager for the Focus, told AutoblogGreen. The only things that are different, she said, are extra menu screens to show EV powertrain information to the driver.
