This Galaxie was driven by a local woman who still lives and works here in town. She isn't sure who owned the title but that was 40 years ago! My father owned a gas station/repair/tow business. I still own a tow business and if anyone expresses much interest in this vehicle i'll go thru the old business records and see if I can find a title for it but lets assume it was never transferred. It could be her husband or whoever at the time had something to do with her driving this car. I know my dad worked on it and that probably explains why he ended up with the car. He had me remove the heads shortly before I went in the army in '73 and as mentioned it's been sitting on the ranch ever since. I'm sure the engine was never overhauled and the car is all OEM with no restoration attempts and such. We are in the extreme east side of Oregon, not much rust here and as you can see in the photos the dash is in great shape. Of course the upholstery is shot. the intake manifold for the engine is in the back seat, If the heads are still here it'd be a major project to find them. tires are missing or worthless. I don't think there are any dents that can not be removed by any body shop, there is some putty on the drivers side over the rear wheel well..
I don't know what else to tell you but being a factory black/red car with factory air I think it will be a head turner if someone will take it on. I copied this info from the data tag; body; 54B or 34B, COLOR; A, TRIM 25, DATE 080, DSO 72, AXLE 6, TRANS; 2 AND SERIAL #; 2J52X150287. It has a manual shifter on the column, I don't see how it'd fit on the floor with that big polarair ac unit in there!, the seats look manual (lever on LH side.)
I respond well to E mail so write and i'll always answer. I understand the title issue, owning a tow business I know there are ways of dealing with it. About payment and shipping. I'll tow it as far as La Grande Or. or Boise Id. for a flat bid, any further will be at the going rate. I'll help load if you come to rescue it. I'll take a check or pay pal but if it's a personal check make arrangments so it clears before loading. IE; going to bank (weekday) etc. in fact, you should plan on my doing that even with a cashiers check. I can also take some plastic, when the device is working!

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial
Sat, 01 Feb 2014Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
