Bloomington, Indiana, United States
|
1966 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door This is a great original car. Great overall condition, runs
and drives great. This is an unrestored, unmodified, untouched original car. It
is the original paint, no damage, no repairs and all the doors, hood and trunk
fit great with even gaps. It has all the trim, hubcaps and it is complete. It
shows just under 56,000 and that is the original miles. I purchased it from the
family who owned it all its life. Please read below for all the details. Engine: 390 Cubic inch Automatic Power steering The car has had a recent tune up, transmission service,
brakes checked and carb rebuilt. It goes down the road really well, no knocks,
no smoke. It runs, shifts and idles great. When I say recent, it has only 10
miles on it since work has been done by a professional shop. New tires. Interior: The front seat has no rips although the bottom on the
driver’s side the material is separated. It may be able to be stretched and
fixed. The back seat is perfect. The dash has no cracks and has good color. The carpet is worn and torn on the driver’s side only at the
door. The door panels are worn at the top and bottom although in
good shape overall. The pillar covers are broken and a new set, the right color
comes with the car. The headliner is in good shape except for a small tear near
the back seat coat hook. I have the steering wheel chrome horn ring, it is not on the
wheel. Exterior: Original paint. It is faded although I think it could be
buffed out to drive it as is. There are a few rust spots, although not big. They are on
the passenger left hand door, the size of a quarter. The two rear fenders at
the bottom have a little rust. The floors are good, no rust. No rust in the
door jambs. The frame and underbody is good. The trunk has rust on the lip where the latch is. Also the
trunk floor has rust although only pin holes through the floor. Easily fixable. All the trim and emblems are on the car. The outside mirrors are off the car, I have them and they
will come with the car. The front bumper is rusty on the bottom half. No thru holes,
although a little rusty. The back bumper has surface rust. It is in good shape Both bumpers are straight, no dents and they are not bent. All the trim around all the doors, windows, side and around
the wheel wells is very good. All emblems are there. All glass is good, no cracks. The light bezels, front and back are good along with the
lenses. The grille has only one small dent which can easily be
corrected. This is great original car that runs and drives great, is in
great original condition, is very straight and comes with all the parts. You
can drive it now and fix it as you go or just leave it like this, buff it out
and have a great time for very little money. Pickup only, no delivery. Please arrange for pickup soon after winning as the place
where I have it stored inside was recently sold and I will no longer have that
storage location. Deposit within 5 days, via Paypal or cash or certified
check. No trades please. Please feel free to ask questions. |

Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
2015 Galpin Ford GTR1
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Last year in Monterey, we met GTR1 for the first time. Galpin Auto Sports pulled the wraps off its Ford GT-based supercar, powered by a twin-turbocharged 5.4-liter V8 good for a whopping 1,024 horsepower and 739 pound-feet of torque. The thing was totally custom-made and reportedly took some 12,000 man hours to create. And there it sat on the Pebble Beach grass, $1,000,000-plus price tag and all.
This year, the Galpin was back, albeit with one big change. That twin-turbo engine? Gone. In its place, a 5.4-liter V8 with a 4.0-liter Whipple supercharger bolted on, delivering an astonishing 1,058 hp and 992 lb-ft of torque on 110-octane fuel. 0-60? 2.9 seconds. Top speed? Somewhere above 225 miles per hour.
"Some things to keep in mind: no stability control, no traction control," were the only warnings given by Galpin's Brandon Boeckmann before taking me on a quick spin in the supercar. And after having my eyes thrown into the back of my skull a few times, laughing hysterically and trying to regain full use of my hearing after my ear drums being bombarded by the apocalyptic roar behind me, Brandon pulled over and said it was my turn, if I was ready to take the wheel.
Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
