Up for sale 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible. My youngest son and I purchased this car 6 years ago from a 94 year old widow in Carey, Ohio. It was in her garage and had been sitting many years and did not run. Her husband bought the car over 35 years ago to fix up. The story goes from his widow was shortly after he purchased the car he had it repainted in the original black color. The car was brought home from the paint shop and put up on blocks in the garage. Before he could proceed with finishing the car he became ill and passed away. My son and I wanted a project to do together so we purchased the car here on ebay. The car was dirty but complete except the original canvas top was in tatters. After we trailered the car home we did a thorough inspection. We removed what was left of the old carpet and were pleasantly surprised to see the floor pans were solid. We cleaned them and painted them with Rustoleum. Underneath the car was heavily undercoated when new. The frame is very nice and solid. The trunk pan is also. We did find a small amount of rust under the right taillight inside the trunk and on the left front inner fender under where the windshield washer bag goes. The rest of the car is very nice. The 35 year old paint was not perfect but too nice to re-do again. The old paint was wet sanded and buffed to a mirror finish. There are a few small paint chips and scratches but no dings or dents in the paint. We also did the following:

Installed all new brakes including all new drums and power brake booster.

Installed a new quiet dual exhaust system.

Installed 5 new tires.

Did a valve job on the heads and planed the exhaust manifolds.

New White convertible top with an all new weatherstrip kit. The top frame was cleaned and painted. New Red top boot and well liner.

New carpet and new door panels.

NOS clock, steering wheel, shift lever, turn signal lever, shifter indicator, outside door handles, Galaxie 500 fender emblems, inside rear view mirror, antenna, painted headlight bezels, horn ring assembly with emblem

NORS hood and trunk letters, hood and trunk emblems, outside mirrors, taillight lenses, headlight door seals, trunk seal, trunk mat set, sunvisor pivots, fuel tank sending unit, inside armrests,

New tinted windshield,New heater core and New heater resistor for the blower motor speeds

New Holley 4BBL carburetor

New battery and tune up, new hoses and belts, radiator removed and cleaned and checked

Fuel tank removed, cleaned and sealed

New power steering hoses

New wiper blades

Rechromed front and rear bumpers, all of the inside windshield trim, taillight frames, headlight frames, armrest bases

Instrument cluster housing rechromed and painted the correct red and black

Transmission completely rebuilt.

The seat covers are ok but could use new ones. The car starts right up and the blue cold light comes on. The top works perfectly. There are no leaks anywhere on this car. The car is a pleasure to drive. Everything on this car works even the back up lights. My son and I have enjoyed this car very much but it is time to turn it over to a new owner. I have tried to describe everything I could think of. This is a very nice Galaxie convertible with a nice color combination. Thanks for your interest.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021

Tue, May 4 2021

Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.

Ford announces two recalls, 442k vehicles affected in North America

Wed, May 27 2015

Ford is announcing two recalls for North American that affect a total of 442,300 vehicles and multiple model lines. The larger campaign covers the possibility of electric power steering systems that can fail in the 2011-2013 Ford Flex, Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and MKT; the 2011-2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ; and the 2011 Mercury Milan. This recall affects 422,814 vehicles in North America, including 393,622 in the United States, 25,195 in Canada, and 3,997 in Mexico. According to the company, an intermittent electrical connection can cause the power steering to cut out, although manual steering would still work. Ford knows of four minor accidents from this issue, but there are no injuries. Depending on trouble codes from the vehicle, dealers will either upgrade software for the power steering control module or replace the steering gear. The second recall covers 19,486 examples of the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a production date between February 14, 2014, and February 10, 2015 at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant. Specifically, there are 19,095 of these in the US and 391 in Canada. These pony cars can show elevated underbody temperatures, which can lead to degradation of the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires from this, though. To fix things, dealers will install a better-insulated fuel tank shield, add thermal patches around the tank and parking brake cable, and put thermal wraps around the fuel vapor lines. You can read the specific build dates and locations for the models affected by the power steering issue in Ford's press release below the video.
