Model: Galaxie
Trim: 7 Litre
Options: Convertible
Year: 1966
Drive Type: RWD
Up for Auction is a rare 1966 Galaxie 500 Convertible 7 Litre Edition. The car is a highly optioned 7 Litre. It has factory installed power windows, power locks, cruise control, in dash AC, and best of all the 7 Litre package which includes the legendary 428 ci engine. The car is in exceptional condition for its age. The under side is very nice with only one very small soft spot on the passenger side rear floor pan. The rest of the under side and frame is rock solid. The trunk is amazingly rust free. The only other rust on the car is around the chrome for the convertible top. Most likely where the water sat on after a rain or washing. The engine is a 428 CI with a 4V carb. It will start and run but smokes a bit, it should be rebuilt. The heads and intake are off of a 1968 engine but it is a 428. The trans appears to be original to the car, a C6 automatic. It retains its original front power disc brakes. Some of the electrical works and I think that some of it is unhooked. There is no alternator currently on the car so its make it hard to be sure that everything is hooked up correctly. The power windows nor the top pump would do anything so I imagine that there is no power going to them at all. The headlights, taillights, and turns worked. Several bulbs are out so the turns did not flash. This car needs a total restoration. This is a great base to start with. A super solid body that needs the dings and dents worked out and painted and an engine that needs a little freshening up and you can hit the road in a rare street machine. Please contact me with any questions. 765-376-3486 or email through ebay. The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

Ford announces four recalls, 1.4M vehicles affected
Thu, 29 May 2014Ford is taking a bit of the spotlight away from General Motors, announcing a major group of recall campaigns, covering a total of 1.4 million vehicles built between 2006 and 2013.
Let's start with the big one, which covers the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner and, according to The Detroit News, Ford-built Mazda Tribute CUVs. 915,216 vehicles are covered, all of which were built in model years 2008 to 2011. 736,000 vehicles are in the US, while Canada then Mexico make up the vast majority of the remainder. The problem is due to an issue with the torque sensor in the steering column, which could lead to sudden power steering failure. Manual steering would still be available, though.
"Dealers will perform one of three service fixes, depending upon what diagnostic codes are shown when the vehicle is taken to the dealer," Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker wrote to Autoblog in an email. "They will either update software for the power steering control module and the instrument cluster module; replace the torque sensor; or replace the steering column, which includes upgraded power steering control module software."
Couple fined for parking Ford F-150 in their own driveway
Tue, Jan 20 2015A homeowners' association in New York is suing two of its residents for parking their pickup truck in their own driveway. David and Arna Orlando of Manlius, NY, are facing a lawsuit from the Kimry Moor Homeowners Association for parking their black 2014 Ford F-150 pickup in their own driveway. The Orlandos own their home, but common areas such as their driveway are managed by their HOA, which limits what vehicles can park in the open. They only allow "private, passenger-type, pleasure automobiles" to park outside of a garage. David Orlando says his pickup is a personal passenger vehicle and that the rule is silly. He also feels he is being unfairly targeted. A Syracuse.com reporter drove around the Orlandos' neighborhood and saw another fullsize pickup parked in another driveway, along with a large van and SUV. The Orlandos said in court documents that the pickup is registered as a private vehicle and neither of them have commercial drivers' licenses. The lawsuit was filed in August 2013 and is still in the discovery phase. Depositions are up next. New York seems to have gone power-mad when it comes to regulating common driveway activities. In a Garden City, NY, neighborhood last year police were called when two men began washing a new Volkswagen "in public view", which was against a local ordinance.

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand
Mon, 30 Dec 2013Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.
