1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 4.7l on 2040-cars
Simpsonville, South Carolina, United States
|
For sale is my 1967 Ford Galaxie V8, automatic 3 speed 289 with tree on the column. It has front and back bench seats with no rips or tears, but color fading on the top of front bench seat. Dash has a crack and steering wheel has cracks in material. Car starts and runs good, I use it to cruise around on the weekend and local errands on my days off if the weather is nice. I have owned it for about a year and I replaced the brake pads, thermostat, and had a mechanic rebuild the carburetor and tune it up. I usually warm it up for about 5 minutes before I drive it and it cruises down the road and even runs 70mph fine on the HWY (although I prefer to use back roads to just cruise when possible). I have owned the car for about a year and at first I had plans to put a 5.0 mustang engine and completely redo the interior but then my wife and I bought our dream house so the funds for this project are gone and I honestly have just moved on to a 2002 Mazda Miata convertible as my cruising vehicle (which is small but I love for anyone who is considering one). I still start the Galaxie up and will run it until it is sold so it is not just sitting around. I love the looks of this car but I was not using it enough and just decided to buy something that my wife and I could drive around the mountain roads, have fun and get good gas mileage. My mechanic told me that if I wanted to make it a daily driver but keep the same engine I should at least update to a new carburetor. I can take a video for those who want to see and hear it run, and I can send any additional pictures upon request, please just text me at 864-906-7884 Patrick. If I did not need a truck to haul hay for our goats and mini horses I would keep this Galaxie and slowly make upgrades to it. However,the funds from this sale will afford me to buy a truck, but I am not in a hurry nor desperate since my parents have a truck that I just borrow when I need one for now. |

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Next-gen Ford Taurus spotted in China
Fri, Jan 2 2015We're getting our first look at the next-generation Ford Taurus thanks to some spy shooters in China. While the camouflage and angle of the photo keep changes to the body a secret, there's no hiding the massive hexagonal, chrome grille up front. It lends a look very similar to the Fusion. Beyond the eye-grabbing grille, the headlights are reshaped, but are still quite squinty. There's also a new lower air dam that runs the width of the front with LEDs at the top corners. The hexagonal grille fits the design of the Fusion well, but this single image makes it look a little too big and disproportionate for the fullsize Ford sedan. Maybe the integration works better from a different angle, though. The next-gen Taurus is rumored debut for the 2016 model year and reportedly rides on a stretched and widened version of the Fusion's platform. Ford's big goal for the new model is allegedly to shed as many pounds from the scales as possible. The sedan also may get a nine-speed automatic to boost fuel economy. The engine range is still a mystery, but EcoBoost options are practically a sure thing, possibly even making up the whole model lineup.
Martini Mustang is a 'what if moment' gone right
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Feast your eyes on a masterpiece. This is Steve Strope's Ford Mustang in the classic fastback bodystyle, and as you'll notice, it sports the signature colors of Martini Racing, a livery that's as legendary as any Gulf Racing-styled car. But the red, white and blues of the Martini stripe down this Mustang's middle tell only a very small part of the story, in the latest video from Petrolicious.
What would you guess is under the hood? A 289-cubic-inch V8? Maybe a 302, or some absurd Ford crate engine? Maybe Strope went all Tokyo Drift - he's actually responsible for the "Hammer" Plymouth Satellite driven by Vin Diesel at the end of the movie - and found an RB26DETT to drop into the pony car? You'd be wrong on all counts.
This mad, mad man somehow finagled a Ford-Lotus engine from a 1966 Indianapolis 500 car into the Mustang's engine bay. Yes, a Mustang with an engine designed for a 160-mile-per-hour, open-wheel racecar. That's like someone in 40 years dropping McLaren's 2.4-liter V8 from the MP4-28 into a Scion FR-S. It'd just make a monster.
