1967 Ford Galaxie Convertible on 2040-cars
Benton, Arkansas, United States
Thanks for looking! I am selling my 1967 Ford Galaxie convertible. I bought it in 2006 and believe I am the fourth owner (I even have the original owner’s manual and other documents). It has been garage kept since I have had it and the previous owner kept it garaged for the 7 years prior to my purchase. This car is not a project car (though with any almost 50 year old car, it will always have some things to work on…and I will identify some below). It is dependable and ready to go. To be honest, I have not ruled out making this car my daily car….it would be cool but I’m not sure its right to do so with a classic even though I would trust it as such. Everything is not original (major items are) but it is awfully close. I have a clear TITLE in hand and it is currently licensed in Arkansas. This vehicle is in excellent MECHANICAL condition and has been well maintained. It has the original 390 big block engine (the carburetor was originally a single two barrel but has been swapped for a four barrel intake and carburetor). Before I bought it, the engine was pulled for a complete overhaul with everything replaced except crank. In the last year, I have professionally had brakes overhauled and the C6 transmission rebuilt. I have replaced the gas tank with a new tank and have replaced the radiator with an OEM style radiator. The WHEELS and TIRES pictured are relatively new and have lots of wear left. They are oversized and make the vehicle look great. I do have the original wheels and hubcaps as well and will convey them with the car. The INTERIOR is in good shape. Seats, carpet, and upholstery have been replaced. The car has the original under dash air conditioning (it works as designed but it isn’t a modern AC unit). The EXTERIOR is pretty good shape as well. The paint is about 10 years old and as such has some stone chips etc but it still looks good. The red color is the original color. The power convertible top works well and has no leaks. The convertible top was replaced when the car was painted. There is a tear in the rear passenger area (see photo). I decided not to replace it or deal with it otherwise since I pretty much drive it only with the top down. The bumpers are fine but I would rechrome them if I wanted to show the car (see photos as well). The frame has some rust but seems solid. I have some spare parts. They will convey as well. Price. I know one of the biggest questions is always “So how did you arrive at a price?” Initially, I looked it up on NADA. The average retail is $15,455. The high retail is $24,420. I know the car is more average than high. Similarly, I looked at the Hagerty valuation tool. It puts the cars in conditions (with 1 being best). Feel free to go to their website and look at how they describe them in more detail (or I can email you this car’s pdf), but in a nutshell: · Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The one word description for #1 cars is
"concours." This car at
condition 1: $29,600 ·
Condition #2
cars could win a local or regional show. The one word description for #2 cars
is "excellent." This car at
Condition #2: $21,900. · Condition #3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car. This car at Condition #3: $15,800. · #4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car. This car at Condition #4: $10,000. So, this car is not concours and I think it would be competitive at a local car show but still not a 2. It is closest to 3 in my mind. That pretty much puts Hagerty and NADA in line with one another so I took that median price and backed it off to price it fairly. I want you to know that this is a good vehicle and I want the buyer to be happy and feel that they got an honest deal. I think if you compare this to other listings, you will see that this vehicle stacks up nicely when you compare the mileage, features, and condition. Please note that I am offering this vehicle locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time. Please contact me if you have any questions. I have more pictures and will be glad to take specific pictures upon request. Also, if you are interested in flying in, I will be glad to pick you up at the Little Rock airport. Thanks for looking! |

Ford Mustang GT350 drops some camo
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Now that we've poured over the 2015 Ford Mustang in its standard form, it's time to look ahead. We already knew (and heard - literally) that Ford was working on a higher-performance version of its 'Stang to replace the Shelby GT500, and earlier reports have stated that it will simply be called the GT350.
We don't have a ton of detail to go on, but this latest set of spy photos clearly shows a hood-mounted air scoop, which suggests a forced-induction powerplant is under the hood. However, this disagrees with earlier reports that the GT350 will be all motor, using a naturally aspirated engine to send massive horsepower to the rear wheels. Our spies also point out the functional vent aft of the front wheels to allow for better airflow, and the massive quad exhaust pipes can be seen, clear as day.
Expect to see the Mustang GT350 in April, when it debuts at the New York Auto Show in conjunction with the Pony's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, have a look at our gallery above to see the latest shots of the hot Mustang out testing.
Latest Forza Motorsport 5 car pack leaves us scratching our head (in a good way) [w/video]
Wed, Jul 2 2014As we scrolled down the roster of the latest car pack for Forza Motorsport 5, the Hot Wheels Car Pack, our expression became bemused over the strange mix of vehicles that we now have at our disposal. This is quite unlike any of the other sets of DLC Turn 10 Studios has offered. Sure, there are the typical headliner cars – the Lamborghini Veneno and 2015 Audi S3 – that will appeal to the mainstream racing fan or auto enthusiast. But this latest car pack is so jammed full of nuggets of automotive weirdness that it's hard not to get excited. The Hot Wheels pack has no shortage of racers, with a particular focus on historical offerings. A 1939 Auto Union Type D covers the pre-war era of Formula One, while a 1967 Lotus 49 and a 1952 Ferrari 375 represent post-war racing. For a modern twist, a Mazda USF2000 car slots in below the Indy Lights car from the Nurburgring booster pack. From here, things get vintage and weird. There are a pair of delightfully offbeat coupes, in the form of a 1974 Toyota Celica GT and a 1973 Ford XB Falcon GT (here's hoping we get a vintage Holden Monaro in the future). Those two are joined by a 1956 Ford F-100, which your author already plans on converting into a dragster with vinyl flames down the side (because that's what all vintage pickups should be). The new ride we're most excited about, though, is the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500. Yes, that's the van from The A-Team, and we're sure it will prove to be an excellent canvas for the artists of FM5 to cover with airbrushed, fire-breathing unicorns and mystical, gray-haired wizards (or just poorly painted letters that read "Free Candy"). This latest car pack is the final monthly car pack for FM5, although Turn 10 is quick to point out that while the monthly updates are over, there will still be new batches of cars made available to gamers. As for the Hot Wheels pack, it's available now on Xbox Live for $9.99. Scroll down for the press release from Turn 10 Studios, as well as a video of the newest additions to Forza Motorsport 5's vehicle roster. Forza Motorsport 5 Hot Wheels Car Pack Now Available Turn 10 Studios is bringing the Hot Wheels® Car Pack to "Forza Motorsport 5," available for download today. The pack features a collection of vehicles built from the ground up for the new generation that car fans can collect and customize while putting their virtual driving skills to the test.
