This is a very nice 1964 Galaxie 500XL 2DR HT Originally from Louisiana and sold new at Donaldson Ford in Sulphur Louisiana . I have the original owners manual with the signature of the new car buyer and the signature of Mr Donaldson the new Ford dealer. The car has been here in western N.Y. for several years and always garage kept and never driven in the bad weather. The car runs and drives excellent. It has nice red interior in excellent condition. Carpet looks new. Power steering. I charged the air conditioning last summer and it worked great, but only for a couple days so it has a leak. I have not tried to trace it. The good news is that it did work very good and was very cold. Has the original radio and also a after market cass player am & fm radio that was just taped on the console so can be removed without damaging any thing. It was painted a few years ago wimbledon white and still looks very nice. I believe it is the original color. Bumpers were chromed and show excellent. This car won a trophy at a large show last summer. The motor was rebuilt some years ago and I have the receipt. It says remove, rebuild ford 352 convert to 390 with performance cam and HU oil pump. So I believe it is numbers matching but it was built to 390 specks. I'm not a mechanic, so not sure how that all works. The car has plenty of power and starts right up and sounds and runs great. I have driven the car over 100 miles more then once with no problems at all. Tires are nice and has a nice set of wire wheel covers. Please feel free to come take a look and a test drive. We are a N.Y. stare dealer and we do take trades. If you live in N.Y. we will give you a new N.Y. state inspection. Car is sold as is were is.

Ford board OK with Mulally stepping down earlier
Fri, 06 Sep 2013Ford's board is open to CEO Alan Mulally stepping down before his planned departure in 2014, inside sources are telling Reuters. Ford's plan of succession, aside from who would be his actual successor, has been something approaching common knowledge - the 68-year-old former Boeing exec had plans to stay through 2014. This was recently confirmed by Mulally himself on Bloomberg Television and in Automotive News.
Motivation for the about-face comes from what Reuters calls a "growing confidence" in the current crop of Ford execs, led by Mark Fields. Fields, Ford's current chief operating officer, has been tipped as Mulally's ultimate successor, although he's far from the only person with eyes on Ford's top job. Normally, Ford's board saying they're open to an executive, that's done very well for the company, stepping down early would be nearly unremarkable. It's the timing of this announcement, though, that makes this a big piece of news.
Recently, Mulally has been the subject of rumors that he's interested in taking the CEO position at tech giant Microsoft. The Redmond, Washington-based company's CEO, Steve Ballmer, told the media in August that he'd be retiring in a year's time. The fires were stoked when tech website AllThingsD speculated that Mulally would take the top spot, despite denials from the man himself. Could Ford's current boss become the new top dog at Microsoft? Will Mark Fields replace him? Could recently departed Renault exec Carlos Tavares land at Ford in some capacity? Let us know what you think below in Comments.
Ford F-150 EcoBoost in NHTSA probe for acceleration issue
Tue, 28 May 2013According to Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching a probe into 400,000 Ford F-150 models over possible acceleration problems. According to the article, NHTSA has received 95 reports "alleging incidents of reduced engine power during hard accelerations" on 2011 to 2013 F-150 models equipped with the company's 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
Automotive News reports that Ford has issued three technical service bulletins "related to intermittent stumble/misfire on acceleration from highway cruise in humid or damp conditions," according to the government agency's documents. About one third of the 95 reports NHTSA has received cited humid or rainy conditions when these problems allegedly occurred.
These technical service bulletins have allowed dealers to address a "condition related to moisture accumulation in the charge air cooler during extended highway cruising at constant throttle in humid or damp conditions," AN reports, citing NHTSA documents. Furthermore, the TSB outlines details for "reprogramming the powertrain control module with the latest calibration and installing a new CAC and air deflector plate."
2015 Ford F-150 configurator is ready to go to work
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Ford is inching towards the on-sale date for the eagerly anticipated, aluminum F-150 pickup. While we're preparing to drive the new truck (expect our take on it sooner rather than later), the best-seller has reached another, albeit more minor, milestone as its online configurator has officially been switched on.
We took to Ford's consumer website to mess about with it and see just how ridiculous of a truck we can build. Among the fun things we discovered were these two nuggets - the most expensive truck we could configure was not the top-end Platinum model, but instead the King Ranch, which rang up at $65,955. The other exciting discovery? The new truck would be available in a questionable shade called Blue Jeans (shown above with the optional contrasting Caribou paint). Yep, Blue Jeans.
You can head over to Ford's consumer page and build your very own aluminum F-150 now. Take a look.
