I am selling my 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD Postless Fastback Coupe. This vehicle is a true classic timepiece from the mid 60's. This is not a barn find nor was it a restoration job. This vehicle was maintained and preserved the right way from day 1 and never in any accidents or fender benders. This is the base model with its original matching number 352ci with Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. Exterior is in excellent shape considering its age. Has all its original glass in tact with no cracks or scratches. Interior is in great shape with no rips or torn material including the dash board with no cracks. Engine Compartment, Trunk, Frame,Undercarriage and floors are solid with no rust or rot holes. Laser straight body lines with no dents anywhere. This is a turn key type of vehicle which can be driven anywhere anytime and is an everyday driver and not a trailer queen. Has always been stored indoors in a climate controlled environment and never driven in rain or snow. Rides very tight and quiet with no rattles or shakes. It can get out of trouble just as fast as it got into. In other words is a stealthy sleeper. I also have the original 2 rear fender skirts for the tires and 14 inch wheels with original Galaxie hubcaps which will also come with the car along with the 15 inch Cragars which are on the car now with new whitewall tires. I also have the original Galaxie keys and owners manual. The original radio still works great, and has a new updated radio with cd mounted under dash board with new speakers on the rear dash. These type of mid year Galaxies are getting harder and harder to find these days in this condition. If you don't believe me just try looking for a clean, solid, unmolested 1965 and you will see exactly what I mean. Today you could not restore this car for my asking price never mind trying to find a good clean solid one to begin with. It took me almost 4 years to find the right one to turn into a Pro Street project but this one is in too good of shape to cut up and tub out. You could buy it today and cruise tonight to your favorite spots around town or bring it to your local car shows and show it off. I get compliments and thumbs up everywhere I go and it does pretty good at the car shows too attracting all sorts of great people and the stories they have about their family members owning one of these timeless classics. I am not a car dealer, I am a collector/enthusiast/hobbyist who enjoys these type of vehicles. Interesting Trades will be considered and may be accepted for a pre 1972 Ford, Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, Oldsmobile, Mopar, Pontiac, Classic Car, Muscle Car, Hot Rod. or Cash is always the best trade. If interested you can e-mail me through ebay or call me direct at Three,Three,Nine - Two,Two,Five - Eight,Seven,Five,Five and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. I also have an online photo album of the car with many more pictures and I would be happy to send you the link for it.

Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans
Tue, Jun 9 2015All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.

Ford Explorer, Expedition next to go aluminum?
Sun, 13 Apr 2014Ford made some serious waves when it unveiled the latest F-150. Instead of making its bodywork out of steel, like just about every other truck on the market, Ford went with aluminum. And you can bet the F-150 won't be the last Ford model to go with the lightweight alloy construction, either.
Our compatriots at Edmunds report that Dearborn is considering replacing two of its most popular SUVs with aluminum versions. One candidate is the Expedition, which would make sense considering that the current model (like the two preceding generations and the fullsize Bronco before it) is based on the F-150's underpinnings. Another is the Explorer, which was traditionally based on the Ranger pickup but went with a car-like unibody chassis in its current iteration. If the Explorer does go the way of aluminum, don't expect it to be a part of its very next update, which is likely due too soon for such major changes.
It would stand to reason that, if the Expedition were to go aluminum, so would the next-generation Lincoln Navigator. Ditto the MKT together with the Explorer. But those aren't likely to be the only models in contention for aluminum construction. Like any other automaker, Ford is under pressure to steadily reduce its carbon emissions and improve its fuel economy figures, prompting it to look at a whole range of measures - including more efficient engines, lower rolling-resistance tires, active aerodynamics and lightweight construction. Expect aluminum to play a big part in that equation moving forward.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible to recreate Empire State Building stunt
Tue, 25 Mar 2014It would have been all too easy to miss the auto show debut of the 2015 Ford Mustang convertible. It was, after all, unveiled alongside its fixed-roof counterpart at the Detroit Auto Show this past January, lumping coupe and cabrio into one debut. But Ford is evidently still intent on making its new droptop stand out. The top of the Empire State Building ought to do the trick.
Automotive history buffs may recall that, 50 years ago, Ford unveiled its first Mustang convertible atop what was then the tallest building in the world, that Art Deco icon of the New York skyline. Half a century later, Ford is recreating the feat and bringing the new topless Mustang to the same observation deck on the building's 86th floor.
Getting it up there, of course, will be no easy task. While they'd usually airlift the vehicle onto the roof or lift it by crane, the spire protruding from atop the building makes approaching the narrow observation deck too dangerous, and no mobile crane can telescope the thousand-plus feet it would take to get the pony car up there.
