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.

USPS releases hot rod stamps to speed up your delivery

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

After one of the worst winters in recent memory for much of the country, summer is finally here. It's time to drop the top, open the sunroof or at least put down the windows and take a long drive. The United States Postal Service is celebrating the season's sun in automotive style with two new hot rod Forever stamps.
Both stamps depict classic '32 Ford hot rods. One shows the car from the front at a low angle in red (pictured above), while the other depicts the car from the back in black with flames running down the side.
To introduce the new stamps on their first day of availability, the USPS went straight to the source at the National Street Rod Association Street Rod Nationals in York, PA. They were unveiled by Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, Car Crazy host Barry Meguiar and NSRA Special Events Director Jerry Kennedy.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.
