1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
Bay Shore, New York, United States
The car is in good condition for its age it has its original paint on it, from what I can see it has not been repaired or any structural damage due to a crash or accident, the body panels are straight and in good shape however there is some rust spots along the fender trim in the rear quarter panels, there is some other rust spots on the battery tray, and the inner fenders but nothing serious, the floor panels are solid and in good condition the worst rust spot is probably on the trunk drivers side (please look at pictures) and the frame rail under passenger's door.
The engine runs very strong and with no issues it has an Edelbrock intake manifold and a holly carburetor, there is not much I can say about it except that it has not failed me in over two years that I own the car, the transmission shifts smoothly and again it has not fail me yet . I have not done any custom work on this car myself so its as original as when I got it. The interior need a little work the bench seat has a couple of rips on the drivers and passenger side that has been taped off. (lol) there is a crack on the dash board where the speaker is and the headliner needs to be repaired, but obviously non of this affects the drive-ability of the car . Again is a really cool looking car that I use personally almost every day in the summer time, I take it to shows and swap meets and always get compliments on it. I bought the car about two years ago with the intention of restoring it but I have too many other projects and no time for a full scale restoration project besides I have too much fun driving it . I've done a couple of things to it like : a new radiator, new sway bar bushings and end links , new front shocks, rebuild the power steering box , new belts, new exhaust manifold gaskets, it has a modern stereo under the dash. (original radio still in the car) it has a set of vintage keystone wheels with sport radial tires about 80% tread on them , I also have the original steel wheels with original hub caps. This auction has a low reserved, so please ask any questions before bidding the buyer is responsible for picking up the car after paying for it in full. also this car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it becomes unavailable. any question write me an email or feel free to call me 718-926-0511 I'm available to show the car any time upon request in long island NY. |

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
