1966 Ford Custom 500 Galaxie 4 Door Sedan 289ci Automatic on 2040-cars
Morristown, Tennessee, United States
|
I have a 1966 Ford Galaxie, Custom 500, 4 door, Automatic with a 289ci motor. It could possibly be a 302ci. The VIN says it's a 289, but the air cleaner that came on it says 302 as you can see by the picture. I haven't checked. I bought this as a project car for my son, but neither of us have the money or time to put in to it. I hate to see it just sit around and deteriorate. When I bought it I had to have it towed to the house. However, I have since worked on it and it does run fair. It starts right up and will sit and idle and I can put it in gear and move it around as I need to. I currently have the gas tank unhooked from the fuel pump because I don't know how long it had been sitting. I put a new fuel pump on it and I I didn't want any bad gas to get into it. I just drop the fuel hose in a bottle or can of gas to move it where I need to. I DO NOT drive it out on the highway, but I can drive it up and down the street. I really hate to get rid of it, but my son needs a car he can drive on a daily basis. Not sure on the mileage reading. As you can see it says 24,438. Probably more like 124,438 or 224,438. There are several parts in the trunk. If you have any questions feel free to ask. If you want a picture of something specific or want me to send you a video of it running or moving, just let me know. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Former Ford president, Jaguar chairman Nick Scheele dead at 70
Sun, 20 Jul 2014We have the privilege here at Autoblog of reporting a lot of good news, but it is our duty as well to report the bad news and sad news as well. And this is one of those occasions as the automotive industry mourns the passing of one of its leaders.
Nick Scheele was born in the UK in 1944 and joined the Ford Motor Company upon graduating from the University of Durham in 1966, staying within the Blue Oval's portfolio for the entirety of his career. After moving to North America in 1978, he rose through the ranks to become president of Ford's Mexican operations in 1988. After acquiring Jaguar, Ford appointed Scheele as its chairman.
Scheele subsequently acted as chairman of all of Ford's European operations, making difficult decisions to take the division out of the red and into the black. He briefly headed up Ford's North American division before he was appointed in 2001 as president and chief operating officer of the global automaker, working under CEO Bill Ford following the departure of Jacques Nasser departure and retaining the role until his retirement in 2005.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft
Tue, 07 Jan 2014In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
