1972 Ford Galaxie 500 in fairly decent condition for its age, runs smooth and is NOT smoking.  


The car is an unmolested and unmodified original with working factory Air Conditioning.  The only non-original part of the car is the radio and 3rd brake light in the rear window.  This is NOT a show car and is not restored, but is a good looking car for its age that is not filled with bondo or mismatched parts - this can be made into a driver without a tremendous amount of time and cost.  This is a car that you can fix to either drive, restore or you can strip for parts if you choose.

I don't know too much about Fords as far as production or desirability of this car, but if I were to find a similar condition Chevelle or Nova, I would be happy to find it in this good condition.  What I can tell you about the car, erring on the side of caution, so I am presenting as honest as possible and pointing out anything negative that I noted:
  • Car seems to have the original 351W in it with 2BBL carb. with most of everything from the factory still there (some electrical wires aren't connected to anything in particular though);
  • Car runs smooth, but I have not driven it far, other than up and down the road about 1/4 mile;
  • The Air Conditioner surprisingly (at least to me) works;
  • The Interior is in really nice shape, with only the small tears on the drivers side of the front seat as seen in the picture;
  • Car appears to have been repainted or touched up in spots (right front fender has some cracks in the paint);
  • The car looks a lot better in the pictures than it does up close:
  • - the paint is not perfect, it is faded, has discoloration
  • - there are spots of surface rust, there is a a rust hole over the passenger side rear quarter dog leg;
  • - the lower part of the drivers side quarter panel has a rust hole and metal is thin from rust on the back side;
  • - the hood has rust holes in spots and seems to need a new hood;
  •  - there are some small dings and dents in the fenders and quarter panels, but body is overall straight.
  •  - the vinyl top is torn in many places;
  • - the gas tank had a pinhole in it (found when I put some gas in it), so I prepped around the area and epoxyed the hole and surrounding area and the gas stopped leaking, not sure if that is a permanent fix or not, but have done it too both a fuel tank and oil pan on one of my tractors and it has held for several years now).
The car has not been licensed or inspected since 2001, so it has been sitting for some time.  I got the car about 4 years ago and towed it to the farm and it has sat behind the barn since then.  After fixing the above noted gas tank issue, I took the carb. off, cleaned out the nasty gas, cleaned the jets and venturi holes, then put it back on.  I poured some gas in the tank, dumped some transmission fluid down the intake, installed a battery, and started cranking.  I cranked for a while, then sprayed carb. cleaner down the intake.  It fired, sputtered, and then finally ran on its own.  I ran it at idle for about 30 minutes, then drove it around.  The brake are touchy, the rear tires spin easy, and the car is over 5,000lbs, so it is big.  

Feel free to call me or email me with questions.  Car will be for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells before the auction is over.  Thanks for looking.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:

Woman trades 1914 Model T in for 2013 Corvette

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

We're sure that dealers must see all sorts of interesting trade ins, but this one may take the cake. Red River Chevrolet in Bossier City, Louisiana, recently had a customer come in with an odd request. Tina Boyter wanted to trade in three vehicles on a brand-new 2013 Chevy Corvette. Among the hardware was 1980 Corvette, a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado and a 1914 Ford Model T. While the '80 Corvette had been her personal car for years, the '78 Eldorado had belonged to Boyter's mother before she traded up to a Lincoln. The big Caddy had just 10,290 miles on the clock when it was traded in.
And the Model T? Boyter says the car was built as a racer by Ford, and that it had been a show winner for years when it belonged to her father. But, after spending the last 16 years in a museum with its fluids drained, Boyter decided it was time to shed some of the past. She walked into the dealer, laid eyes on a white 2LT Corvette with a red interior and offered to trade all three of the vehicles in on the sports car.
Why not wait for the C7? "I fell in love with that one when I walked in the door," She said. We can't fault her there.
