United States
|
1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. 23,450 miles - Excellent condition all original and un-restored. A classic muscle car. 1969 was the last year the Galaxie convertible was manufactured. Only 6,910 were produced, and few survive. I am the third owner and can provide the ownership history. I bought the car 2 years ago when it had 17,500 miles on it. There is no rust. This car has always been stored indoors in climate controlled storage. Owners have always been way over 40+ years of age.
Original numbers matching V-8 390 ci engine with automatic transmission. Does not consume or leak any oil The electric top looks and operates perfectly like it was new. It is hard to believe it is 45 years old. The removable cover has a small tear Factory air conditioning is functional but is not charged up. The heater and blowers work fine The interior is all original and looks immaculate. People do not believe it is original. Radio and all interior and exterior lights and signals work. Cigarette lighter and clock do not have power, but I have not done troubleshooting I replaced the wheel seals and the rear pinion gear seals due to evidence of leakage and a set of deteriorated control arm bushings The body is rust free. There is a golf ball size dent on the top of the right front fender from where I dropped a ladder on it. Other than that the body is dent free. The paint has a few scuffs and dings here and there. The chrome is all good except a blemish over the right exhaust pipe. If the car was repainted and the rear bumper re-chromed, this car would win local shows. The car starts and runs smooth and quiet, and drives smooth and steady as you would expect a car with this low mileage. This is a rare example of a classic 60s era big block convertible in original unrusted condition. Please contact me and I can answer questions or provide more photos |

F-150 just the start of Ford's aluminum plans
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Not only have we been told that the 2015 Ford F-150 is tougher, more durable and up to 700 pounds lighter than the current truck, Ford COO Mark Fields said it's also "CAFE-positive." That means, for the first time in the history of corporate average fuel economy standards, the F-150 would be a positive contributor on Ford's CAFE balance sheet instead of being a vehicle it needs to counterbalance with frugal offerings.
Fields' comments made at the Detroit Auto Show were among quotes from other Ford execs that confirmed the carmaker will be using aluminum for more of its vehicles. CEO Alan Mulally said it would "proliferate across our lineup," with speculation being that we'll see it applied to crossover and sport utility models first, since they'll benefit the most. Even gaining the massive scale of using aluminum on the world's best selling vehicle for its first effort - on average, the company sells two times as many F-150s in a single day as Land Rover sells of its aluminum Range Rover in a month - Ford will be looking to further spread the cost of its five-year development investment in aluminum technology. And that should mean better handling and fuel economy for those of us who don't need to wear hardhats at the office.
Ford reveals new rapid prototyping and low-volume production techniques [w/video]
Mon, 08 Jul 2013It's called "F3T," and that stands for Ford Free-form Fabrication Technology. The process that The Blue Oval has developed means being able to sidestep the weeks-long process of tool-and-die making when engineers want to construct a new part, allowing them to fabricate a three-dimensional part from a two-dimensional sheet of metal in just hours.
While F3T is being developed it is limited to "low-volume prototyping or even low-volume niche vehicles," but the next step is to evaluate it for use in Ford's global manufacturing facilities. You can find out more about it in the video and the press release below.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.
