1966 Galaxie -2 dr ht
This car is a reliable driving car that needs some tinkering that is all pretty easy small repairs The Mechanical things that need attention -the brakes are really grabby,unless you pump them a little first.Pretty darn sure this is an air bubble and the brakes need to be bleed. -the carb has a bit of run on ,it is running rich and just needs some fine tuning I beilieve(thus the car failed air care in B.C.) -the fuel gauge doesn't work -the horn works but is wired off the dash -the dip stick on the transmission is broken and there is a bit of a leak at the pan,just needs a new gasket.May need linkage adjusted ,needs to warm up before going into drive,once it is warmed up in the morning,it's good for the day -the wiper switch is touchy,(I have a spare) the mechanical that has been replaced in the last year -new brakes,rotors and drums -new shocks -new carb -new tires -steering box -battery -all the turn signals and lights work -the car was bought in Washigton and safety inspected when brought into BC.It is a relatively simple process to import a car into the US -previous owner told me he put a rebuilt 392 in,I have no way of verify this however a compression test was done six months ago and it came out with perfect compression -the vin tag says 352,I can't say this is original motor or not.I am pretty sure it has been rebuilt interior -overall quite nice cloth seats quite obviously redone in the last few years -the seats and are nice no rips no tears -the dash was replaced,no cracks -the drivers seat has a bit of sag like an old but its a detail -the door panels are straight,no wrinkles(the knob to a window roller is missing) -the headliner is nice,a small tear \i have tried to capture in pictures overall a very nice interior the body -there is no trim on the car but I have a trunk full of it.The best I can tell is one of the four pieces of stainless around the back window is missing and some of the ford letters,the rest seems to be all there but I cannot say for sure -the paint is a home job and needs to be redone.It has nicks and scrapes. -the floors are solid no holes -the frame has no rust -the trunk is solid,no holes but there has been some fiberglass repair done on the back panel -there is no rust hols in the body,some surface rust here and there,I am sure there has been fiberglass and Bondo here and there -there has been a bit of a crunch(ie back into a pole at low speed in a parking lot)oops.The back bumper has been pulled out and is straight,however there is a but of repair needed,it was not a high speed accident So in short this is a good running car,I have driven and would drive it on the highway just about anywhere you would drive a 45 year old car.I used it as a daily driver and it was alwasys stellar .I have been using this as daily driver and due to impending move I have to thin down my collection.I encourage you to check out the car or if you have any questions please call me at 778 229 5357 On Sep-12-14 at 11:19:17 PDT, seller added the following information: an addendum.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT
Mon, 19 Aug 2013XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.
2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Tue, Jun 30 2015Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below.
