THIS IS AN AMAZING 1967 FORD GALAXIE 500. IT HAS BEEN REDONE TO A LARGE EXTENT AND NEEDS ONLY SMALL THINGS TO MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL CRUISE IN CAR. IT HAS BEEN REPAINTED AND TWO NICKLE SIZED HOLES IN THE REAR QUARTERS HAVE BEEN LEADED IN AND FIXED THE RIGHT WAY, OTHER THAN THAT I KNOW OF NO BONDO IN THE CAR. IT HAS ALL OF THE TRIM AND JUST NEEDS THE SIDE TRIM PUT BACK ON, I HAVE IT ALL AND MANY EXTRAS IF YOU EVER NEED THEM FOR THE LOWER TRIM PARTS. IT WILL HAVE A NEW SUMMIT RACING STARTER IN IT BY THE TIME THE AUCTION IS OVER. COMES WITH EXTRA TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES, THE EXTRA TRIM I TALKED ABOUT, AN EXTRA DASH PAD TO MAKE IT LOOK NEW AS WELL AS ONE ALREADY IN THE CAR, EXTRA REAR INTERIOR PANELS IN WHITE, THE FRONT DOOR CARDS ARE WHITE NOW AND ARE THE ONLY THING ON THE INTERIOR THAT DOESN'T MATCH. ALSO WILL COME WITH AN ENTIRE FRONT END POLYURETHANE BUSHING KIT THAT WILL MAKE IT HANDLE MUCH BETTER. MANY MISC. HOSES FASTENERS AND CLIPS AS WELL AS A 1967 FORD AND MERCURY SERVICE MANUAL AND SOME OTHER LITTLE THINGS I CANT REMEMBER RIGHT NOW. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REDRESSED WITH ALL NEW ACCESSORIES INCLUDING A NEW ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP POWER STEERING PUMP STARTER SOLENOID, ALL NEW OR POWDERCOATED BRACKETS AND BELTS AND HOSES. NEW DISTRIBUTOR, HARMONIC BALANCER, PLUGS WIRES AIR FILTER AND BATTERY ALL IN THE LAST YEAR. BASICALLY THE ENGINE BLOCK, INTERNALS, INTAKE AND CARB ARE ORIGINAL, HOWEVER THE INTAKE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL GALAXIE INTAKE IT IS A FORD INTAKE BUT WE BELIEVE IT TO BE FROM A HIGHER PERFORMANCE FORD MODEL 289. THE CARB HAS BEEN DECODED AS AN AUTOLITE 4 BARREL AND ALL THIS MAKES THIS THING FLY. IT DOES HAVE STANDARD DRUM BRAKES THAT WORK GREAT BUT THEY ARE NOT POWERED OR DISK. NEW VALVE COVERS MAKE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOOK FANTASTIC TOO. THE STEERING COLUMN IS RED SINCE THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE INTERIOR WAS RED. OW ITS WHITE ON BLACK AND OTHER THAN THE ROOF LINER AND STEERING COLUMN ITS ALL BLACK. NEW L.E.D BRAKE AND RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INSTALLED TO MAKE THEM BRIGHTER AT NIGHT. THE 15' CRAGARS AND BF GOODRICH 225/70/15 ARE NEW WITH ONLY 33 MILES ON THEM. THE INTERIOR WAS SOUNDPROOFED WHEN THE NEW CARPET WENT IN AND IS MUCH QUIETER THA ORIGINAL. IT HAS A PIONEER STEREO NEW 6X9 REAR SPEAKERS NEW 4 INCH FRONT SPEAKERS AND AN AMP AND SUB WIRED INTO THE TRUNK. SEEMS TO CUT OUT SOMETIMES BUT SOUNDS AWESOME FOR A CRUISE IN OR A DAY OUT. MY FIRST CAR WAS A 1967 GALAXY 500 AND I WAS HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER, IT WAS FIXED BUT WAS NEVER THE SAME AND MY DAD SOLD IT IN 1988. I ALWAYS WANTED ANOTHER ONE AND THEN IN 2011 MY DAD GOT CANCER. I SOLD MY VICTORY MOTORCYCLE AND FOUND THIS ONE AND BOUGHT IT FOR HIM TO HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING ON AFTER HIS SURGERY. HE DID ALL THE WORK AND RECOVERED AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD A BLAST WORKING ON IT JUST FATHER AND SON. HOWEVER AT 43, I JUST FOUND OUT I AM HAVING A SECOND CHILD AND AM FORCED TO SELL THIS TO HELP PAY FOR A MINI VAN. YIKES I KNOW, BUT IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE AND ITS TIME TO GO TO SOMEONE WHO HAS TIME TO SHOW IT OFF. MY INSURANCE COMPANY, HAGARTY ASKED I INSURE IT FOR 11,200.00 LAST YEAR BUT I KNOW I WONT GET THAT MUCH RESERVE IS JUST TO PROTECT THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE IN THE CAR AND I THINK IS VERY FAIR. I CAN BE REACHED AT THREE THREE OH THREE FIVE THREE ZERO ONE FOUR NINE AND WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE BIDDING ON THIS GREAT CAR. IF I THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE I'LL TRY AND ADD IT. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING. OH AND ONE MORE THING IN THE PICTURES YOU WILL NOTICE A BLACK STRIPE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR, ITS A DECAL NOT PAINT, DAD WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITHOUT THE TRIM SO WE HAD A COMPLETE DECAL SET CUT THAT WILL ALSO GO WITH THE CAR.

Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC
Thu, 17 Apr 2014There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.
Amid Mulally rumors, Bill Ford praises company's deep bench
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Bill Ford went on the offensive to combat the rumors that CEO Alan Mulally would leave Dearborn for Steve Ballmer's vacated position leading Microsoft, adding that even if the 68-year-old, former Boeing exec were to depart, the Ford executive team is in a good place.
"I'm happy [Mulally] is going to stick around. But we also feel really good about where we are in terms of succession," Ford told Bloomberg TV, according to Automotive News. Rumors first cropped up about Mulally leaving Ford when AllThingsD speculated that he was in the running, early last month. In that same report, which you can read here, Ford's board of directors reportedly okayed the CEO stepping down ahead of his planned retirement in 2014.
That opened the floodgates, culminating in a report from a few days ago that the rumors over Ballmer's successor just might be true. The story is especially troubling, as Ford hasn't had Mulally under contract, according to AN. "He's here as long as he and I would like it to happen," Ford said, "We're also cognizant of training the next generation and getting them ready to go as well."
