 The experience of driving an old American full size convertible is something that is just not available in any other vehicle. Two couples or a family going out for an evening cruise in this car is a very enjoyable way to spend your time.
As described above this car was built to make a cross country trip and all of the mechanical work is done and ready to go. Please consider this when bidding. I know there are cheap old Galaxies out there, but this one has had much of the big stuff done, for example:
New aluminum radiator
New Brakes
New Flow-master exhaust
Professionally rebuilt engine with hardened valve seats, RV cam, correct Ford 390 4 bbl manifold and new holly 4 barrel carb. (Trans Kick down arm/cable needs to be hooked up but no big deal been driving it like this and the engine has so much torque it just doesn't matter,.)
New suspension bushings, shocks and Addco front sway bar. Handles like a modern car now. (OK a modern yacht is more honest)
The interior was redone and looks good but there are a few minor things the shop could have done better, but again this is a road trip car not a show car.
The top is fine, minor wear, and it has a new electric motor.
The stereo is new, modern and hidden in the glovebox, but the I/R sensor for the remote has fallen behind the dash and I have not dug it out yet!
I could go on and on, but the point is all of this stuff tends to cost a lot of money to do. So when you are comparing old cars to buy,  consider that I started with a good old car and have spent nearly $15,000 to make this car road worthy  and it still needs paint and some details to be show worthy. You can buy a project car and do it yourself, but my reserve on this car gives you an awful lot of that work for free!
When scrap metal become so valuable a few years ago, many of these big cars got crushed, so they are more rare than ever and appreciating fast.
I am a motivated seller, I've listed this car before and it went much higher than my reserve is this time so its going to sell!

Ford 2Q profit drops 86% as it restructures overseas

Thu, Jul 25 2019

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford's net profit tumbled 86% in the second quarter due largely to restructuring costs in Europe and South America. Net income for the April-through-June period dropped to $148 million, or 4 cents per share. Without the charges the company made 28 cents per share. Revenue was flat at $38.9 billion. On average, analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings 31 cents per share on revenue of $38.49 billion. Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone says the company had charges of $1.2 billion as it moved to close factories in Europe and South America. He says Ford already is seeing an impact from its global fitness measures that included a reduction of 7,000 white-collar workers. Ford, which released numbers after the markets closed Wednesday, says its results include a $181 million valuation loss on an investment in a software company, trimming 4 cents off adjusted earnings per share. Its stock fell 6.3% in after-hours trading to $9.68. Stone said Ford is in the early stages of its restructuring, but already is seeing improvement in some regions. Free cash flow also improved by 80% to $2.1 billion in the first half of the year, he said. "We're already starting to see some early benefits," he said. "A lot of work to do." The company expects improvement in the second half of the year as more new big SUVs hit dealerships and more of the restructuring takes hold. Ford on Wednesday forecast pretax adjusted earnings of $7 billion to $7.5 billion for all of 2019, compared with $7 billion last year. The company previously had only said that pretax earnings would improve. Full-year adjusted earnings per share are forecast to be $1.20 to $1.35, up from $1.30 in 2018. Previously it did not give per-share guidance. Ford's U.S. sales fell nearly 5% in the second quarter, according to the Edmunds.com auto pricing site, as the company exited most of its passenger car business. But Stone said sales of the new Ford Ranger small pickup offset much of that as its share of the small truck segment rose 14%. Edmunds, which provides content for The Associated Press, said Ford's average vehicle sale price rose 2.8% to $41,328 during the quarter. In North America, Ford's biggest profit center, pretax earnings fell 3% to just under $1.7 billion, which the company blamed on switching its Chicago factory to build new versions of midsize SUVs.

Watch Vaughn Gittin Jr. hit the ice in his 2015 Mustang RTR

Thu, Mar 19 2015

There's more than one way to get a car to drift. You can set up a purpose-built drift car. Or you can put a car on a slick surface. But in this case, Vaughn Gittin Jr. has done both. In this latest video, the driftmeister extraordinaire reveals the new livery for his 2015 Ford Mustang RTR, and put it on a frozen track, flanked by snow banks. It's the perfect place to drift any car, and this custom pony car could very well be the perfect drifter. Call it a match made in heaven. A cold, frozen-over slice of heaven where rear-drive muscle cars put on one heck of a show. Gittin, for those unfamiliar, is one of the drifting scene's foremost showmen, and like Ken Block or Tanner Foust, he competes primarily in Blue Oval machinery. Vaughn will be challenging the Formula Drift series once again in the Mustang RTR, but whether the sideways-driving championship is coming to a circuit near you or not, you can scope out a piece of the action right here.

Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
