1966 Ford Ltd Galaxie on 2040-cars
Windsor, Colorado, United States
This LTD is a true gem a
real survivor for sure. I found it at an estate sale locally,and bought
it on the spot. I purchased it from the original owner an old gentleman
who was downsizing his estate in general, the car has
49,000 documented original miles on it. You see cars advertised with low miles, the miles on this car are actual not turned over. He saved all the service records
from 66 , it was purchased from a local
dealer here in CO and lived its entire life in the garage I have the
thank you letter from the dealership and the hard plastic dealer service
card still in its case. This car has the 390 power plant and runs
perfect, turn key and purs, also stops and shifts smoothly, the car has all the options of the day ,rear
heat and air as well. Its the original Wimbledon white with a burgundy
interior, there is a slightly worn area on the drivers side rear seat other than that the interior is beautiful along with the factory floor mats that kept the carpet so nice, headliner and rear package area are just beautiful, all the bells and whistles work, engine cold warning light and flashing red parking brake reminder. Has the original spare and jack, I just put new tires on it
,replaced the battery and starter along with a complete tuneup with all
the fluids changed,also a new heater core. The wheels still had the paper stickers on the backs
with the ford part numbers, it rides like a magic carpet smooth and
quiet ,typical of the higher end 60s luxury cars,but still retains a
sportier look. The chrome and stainless trim are impeccable,right down to the chrome gas door trim, the grill
is highly sought after and is immaculate. Everything is still factory
original and everything works,horn, heater, AC,cigarette lighter. There is a slight crease in the passenger
side door and a few scratches on that side also a piece of wheelhouse
trim is missing same side . Previous owner had
trouble parking it towards the last of his driving days. All the glass
and rubber seals are perfect and the doors hood and trunk shut with
that firm solid feel, windows roll up and down perfectly. The car is certainly not 100% show car however it is in fantastic original condition for a 47 year old vehicle, feels like it was driven off the lot.
Overall its a beautiful example of 60s classic Ford, solid powerful and comfortable, this is a turn key start up and go car ,drives anywhere with absolutely no issues other than the constant thumbs up from others. I have to ask that if you make an offer or intend on purchasing the car please follow through and be sincere , alot goes into an auction so lets not waste each others time. I will require a $1000.00 non refundable pay pal deposit at the close of the auction and the remainder within 5 days before the car is released .Please ask any and all questions BEFORE making an offer, after the fact is not the time, I will be happy to answer all, Thanks . |

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
Ford doubling 1.0L EcoBoost engine production
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine hasn't been around that long, but it sounds like the engine is getting to be fairly popular in the automaker's global car lineup. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford has add a second shift that will allow its German engine plant to double daily output from 500 engines to 1,000.
The increased capacity is part of a plan to sell more than 300,000 vehicles a year with this engine in Europe by 2015. Europe is currently the only market where the smallest of the EcoBoost engines is offered (including in the Focus pictured above), but US-spec Fiesta models will be getting this mill for 2014.
Three-cylinder engines are expected to continue to grow in popularity in coming years with the report indicating that global production of these engines will double by 2018 to 9.8 million units. General Motors, BMW and Mitsubishi are all expected to introduce three-cylinder engines in the near term, as well.
Are we about to see a real SUV revival?
Wed, Mar 23 2016Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road
