NO RESERVE! Here is your chance to snag a Big Block 429 full size muscle car in untouched condition at a bargain price!!! At this price buy it for the 429 and put it in your 69 Mustang!

For Sale - We just uncovered this unbelievable 1969 429 Ford Galaxy XL Fastback Coupe. It has been stored many years. We have the original 1969 title, build sheet, owners manual and more!! This is a real, big-block muscle car. The car runs and drives good. Look at the pictures and you will see it is clean and rust free. It has a couple of very minor rust spots in the trunk pan and that is all we have found. The engine starts right up and does not smoke or make noise... other than that big-block ford rumble! Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you want a specific picture.

The car is sold as is, where is. No warranty. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due upon execution of the sale. Feel free to inspect the car before bidding. Bid with confidence, I am a straight shooter as my feedback shows. Thanks for looking.

In the photos you will see: Original title, temporary owners card, build sheet, window sticker ($4556.01), owner's manual, Ford safety supplement flyer, warranty booklet.

As you collectors know, these are the money documents that certify this is the real deal. The original color of the car was lime gold so somewhere over the past 45 years they repainted it red. The paint job was a good one because they sprayed the door jams and inside hood and trunk so as to appear factory. Also it appears that someone over time has swapped out the 69 grill for a 70. No evidence of a serious wreck are evident to us so maybe they just like the 70 grille better.

Please keep up the inquires and I will respond as fast as possible. This car is for sale locally and may sell soon. If you want it, let's make a deal.

Here are some Ford Facts for you....

The Ford Galaxie was a full-size car built from 1959 through 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford’s full-size range from 1959 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. In 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/XL" denoting the higher series. The Galaxie 500/LTD was introduced for 1965 followed by Galaxie 500 7-Litre in 1966. The Galaxie 500 part was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967; however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford’s mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.

The 1969 model was built on a new platform with a 121-inch wheelbase. It was the end for the 427 and 428 engines. Replacing the FE series-based 427 and 428 engines was the new 429 cu in (7.0 L) "ThunderJet" that was introduced in the 1968 Ford Thunderbird; it was part of the new Ford 385 engine series. Power, at 360 hp for the dual-exhaust 4-barrel version, was higher than the 428's 345 hp and lower than the racing-bred 427's final rating of 390 hp; there was also a single-exhaust 2-barrel version with 320 hp available. The dashboard was built as a pod around the driver rather than traditionally extending across both sides. The XL and Galaxie 500 Sportsroof had rear sail panels to simulate a fastback roofline. The rear trim panel below the tail lights was used to distinguish the different trim levels.

I have been asked to decode the VIN :

Digit Usage VIN Decoded -- Year 9 = 1969 / Plant A = Atlanta, GA / Series 60 = Ford Galaxie 500XL 2-door hardtop / Engine N = V8 429-4v / Serial # = 202323

Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.

Ford going bonkers at SEMA with 57 showcars

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Ford always shows up in force at the SEMA Show, but this year's tally of 57 custom-tuned cars, trucks and vans is more than we can ever recall the Blue Oval bringing. Ford will introduce 28 of its project vehicles in its "Dreamcase" ahead of next month's show. The first batch of eight you'll find here with the remaining vehicles trickling into public view over the next couple of weeks.
This first group of cars includes a Fiesta, four Fiesta ST hatchbacks and a trio of Mustang show cars styled and tuned to varying degrees all by different aftermarket companies. Tanner Foust, Nitto Tire, 3dCarbon and Ice Nine Group are some of the more familiar names affixed to these cars. Our favorite so far is the Hollywood Hot Rods Mustang convertible (shown above) with its removable aluminum top and methanol-injected, 750-horsepower 5.0-liter V8.
Scroll down for all the details on these Fiestas and Mustangs, and stay tuned for more info on Ford's SEMA line, which will include custom versions of the Focus ST, Fusion, Transit Connect, F-150 and Super Duty.
