You are looking at a 1968 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. The car has 54,691 believed to be the actual mileage but the title reads exempt. So we are not sure. We bought this car from an estate, It has been sitting for around 20 years. The car does run and drive when we purchased it we cleaned the carburetor and changed the points The engine does however smoke sometimes its a little but sometimes it smokes alot not really sure what it is. we got it running enough to make sure the tranny has all its gears and it does. When we purchased it the brakes were froze we put on a new master cylinder and bled the lines. It appears that when it was parked 20 years ago there were new break pads and lines put on the car. the brakes are still stiff and will need adjusted. It does stop and can be moved around enough to get it on a trailer. the car does have power front disc brakes and power steering. The frame has been repaired in several spots, there is also frame rot on the rear of the car before the rear bumper and a few other spots around the car. Floor boards and trunk pan do not seem to bad . (see pics) the body is not to bad, there are some holes in the door and fender (see pics). The bumpers are rusty and they will need re-chromed. the top has 2 holes towards the back and the window is also very cloudy. The top does work up and down sometimes it stops midway because the relay gets hot if you wait a few minutes it will work again. The interior is not bad for its age I think its original drivers seat is split at the seam and there are cracks in the dash. This car does need restored you can not jump in it and drive it the brakes need work and the engine smokes This car will need hauled. The pictures look better than the car does in person. I do not have a key for the trunk and I have never opened it there is a key for the glove box but it does not fit the trunk. There is some trim that came with the car but I the think it is aftermarket you can take it along with the car. It is for the center strip down the side of the car. That pretty much sums it up...

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017
Sun, 15 Dec 2013Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.
Ford-sponsored survey says a third of Brits have snapped a 'selfie' while driving [w/videos]
Fri, 08 Aug 2014Talking on the phone while driving isn't advisable, and texting while driving is downright dangerous. Considering those truths, the fact that we even need to point this out this is incredibly disturbing: taking "selfies" while behind the wheel is exceptionally stupid. But, it's a thing that a third of 18- to 24-year-old British drivers have copped to doing, according to a new study from Ford.
Ford, through its Driving Skills for Life program, surveyed 7,000 smartphone owners from across Europe, all aged between 18 and 24, and found that young British drivers were more likely to snap a selfie while behind the wheel than their counterparts in Germany, France, Romania, Italy, Spain and Belgium.
According to the study, the average selfie takes 14 seconds, which, while traveling at 60 miles per hour, is long enough to travel over the length of nearly four football fields (the Ford study uses soccer fields, but we translated it to football, because, you know, America). That's an extremely dangerous distance to not be focused on the road.
