1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL
Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. This car is incredibly rare, not only because of the color combination, but also because it is a highly original vehicle. This car has only been owned by one family since new, and was very well taken care of.
Exterior
-The Lime Gold color paint is the original color, but was repainted once, many years ago. It shows very well, and there are no major scratches or chips.
-The black vinyl top is original. It has some very light scuffs and a few small holes, but is in decent shape. It has the glass rear window.
-The power top mechanism works like new.
-All of the lights work, and the front headlight bucket turns around just as it should.
-The wheels are original, and are in excellent shape. The tires have lots of tread left.
-The brightwork is all original and in great condition, as is all of the chrome on the car.
-The panels on this car are very straight, and are all original.
-This Galaxie is incredibly solid. The trunk, floorboards, frame, and everything is as solid as could be. There are no rust issues whatsoever anywhere on the car (look at the door jambs).
-Everything on this car is original, except for one repaint.
Interior
-The white interior is original, and is in excellent shape. There are no tears or stains.
-The original black carpet great shape.
-The radio and 8-track player work, as well as all of the gauges.
-The original owner’s manual is present, along with several original documents that came with the car, and many maintenance records.
-The power windows work, as does the antenna.
-The headliner is very tight, and the top is well-insulated.
-The original white convertible top boot is in excellent shape.
-The courtesy lights work, as do the dash lights.
-This convertible is air conditioned (brand new pump). The climate control works well. I have yet to put the R12 in it. Once it is in the car, it will work great.
Drivetrain
-The original 390 ci (with a 2 bbl carb) engine has only 35k original miles on it. The engine has never been out of the car. That is 35k miles from the factory!
-The engine, factory rated at 265 horsepower, pulls strong.
-The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and goes in and out of gear as it should.
-The power steering and power brakes work well, and are very responsive.
-The suspension is original, and the car rides and drives like a dream.
-The vin is 9W61Y186758.
This car is an incredible find, and a very high quality survivor. There were only 6,910 convertibles produced in 1969. The number of original, Lime Gold on White, 390 ci, air conditioned models that are still on the road today is very, very low. Do not miss out on this one. Finding another one like it would be a very tough task. Feel free to ask any questions through eBay, or call Dave at (586) 945-4266. More pictures are available upon request. All reasonable offers will be considered. Thanks!

MyFord Touch getting second update, extended warranty
Wed, 28 Nov 2012There is no doubt that Ford has had its hands full fielding complaints with its MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems these days, but looking to keep its customers happy, Ford is once again upgrading its infotainment systems and extending the warranties. Despite having just sent out updates for its systems back in March, Automotive News says that customers are still complaining about the speed and ease of use.
Vehicles with MyFord Touch will now get a five-year, unlimited-mile warranty, while the MyLincoln Touch will have a six-year, unlimited-mile warranty. Previously, the systems were covered under basic warranties (three-year, 36,000-mile for Ford and four-year, 60,000-miles for Lincoln).
What is being referred to as "version 3.5" for the MyFord Touch and MyLincoln Touch systems will be mailed out (or downloaded) next month for owners of cars without navigation and in January for cars with nav. Owners of hybrids, plug-ins and electric vehicles will get the update sometime in the first quarter of next year.
Ford turns Navistar from truck business customer to rival
Mon, 19 May 2014There is a showdown brewing in the medium-duty truck segment next year as Ford prepares to launch its all-new, in-house engineered 2016 F-650 and F-750. It finally marks the end of the Blue Diamond joint venture between Ford and Navistar and, making the two entities direct competitors instead of partners.
Ford announced the end of the joint venture in an investor report in 2011, but it didn't reveal the new F-650 and F-750 until the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, in March. Unlike the current, Mexican-built models, the new generation will be built in Avon Lake, OH, starting in mid-2015.
The challenge from Ford comes during a rough patch for Navistar. The company had a $248 million loss in the first quarter, according to The Wall Street Journal, and its medium-duty truck market share is currently down to 26 percent, from 36 percent in 2011. Building the previous-generation Fords brought in about $400 million a year to Navistar, according to the WSJ. To take on its former partner, Navistar plans to offer its International brand of medium-duty vehicles with more engine and transmission options to customers. It even struck a deal with Cummins to put its diesels in some of the models.
