I always wanted a 65-67 Galaxie growing up and ended up purchasing this one in 2011 in Oregon, spent a couple weeks tuning it up and then made a big road trip and drove it back across the country to Pennsylvania. The vehicle is in very nice shape. It has not been restored or messed around with that much and most of the stuff on it is original. The coolest thing for me is just how nice the undercarraige of the car is. As far as I'm concerned, the car, although not perfect, has character. As an owner, other than keeping it tuned up in and in working order, I like it the way that it is. But.... for the right somebody else out there, this car is a perfect candidate for a top to bottom restoration. I've provided many detailed pictures.
Now I'll tell you what is wrong with the car that I know of. First of all, the engine leaks oil out of the manifold. I add about a half quart or more to top it off every time that I fill up the tank with gas. I am not a "mechanic", but do know a little about how to work on a car, and my best diagnosis is that there are broken studs in the manifold. The car drives fine and the engine runs well, so for the past summer driving it I let it go. Although this may not be a big problem to fix for somebody that works on cars constantly, it would be a project for the non mechanic (me) to fix that up. The thought of fixing it jumped through my mind, but if I'm going to sell it, I'll leave that up to the next person.
On the driver's side fender there is a spot touched up with white paint right behind the tire. The trunk was completely repainted. Both of these things were there before I bought the car. A teenage girl bumped into my car last year in a parking lot, while the car was parked. The chrome on the driver's side taillight was bent and the paint and letters were scratched. It was repaired professionally at a body shop in Buffalo New York. The Chrome was replaced with an older part and the letters (except for the "G") were replaced with New Old Stock original galaxie letters (the rubber is black and perfect), the scratch on the body was fixed and painted. This was not a major collision and not something that would cause major damage to the car, was just a minor cosmetic thing.
I replaced the old carburetor with a new Edelbrock. I still have the old one, but it needs to be rebuilt. Also have the original air filter. With the passing gear stepdown rod, I couldn't get the linkage right with the new carburetor (didn't put that much effort into it), so I just tied it up with a bungy. I also replaced the belts, brakes, drums, master cylinder, coil and distributer, a few other small things.
This is a pretty great car. Perfect for a person that would want to restore a classic automobile. Look at the photos and let me know about any questions that you have.

Trump threatens huge tax for Mexican-built Fords
Wed, Jun 17 2015Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president on Tuesday. So what would be one of the first things he would do if elected? Tax the heck out of Ford. According to The Detroit News, Trump advocated instituting a specific tax against Ford products built in Mexico during a speech in New York. Rather than incentivize US production, the outspoken billionaire's proposal would penalize Mexican-built Ford vehicles and parts by 35 percent upon purchase. That would ostensibly raise the base price of a Mexican-built Ford Fiesta from $13,965 to over $18,800, and a Lincoln MKZ from $35,190 to over $47k. He apparently made no mention of applying the same or a similar penalty to other vehicles or products imported across the border, or from other countries, raising serious questions about the legality and feasibility of instituting and enforcing the proposed measure. Trump's remarks arrived against the backdrop of a shift in automobile production from the United States into Mexico – and specifically Ford's recent announcement that it was investing $2.5 billion and creating 3,800 jobs for its Mexican operations. Of course the Blue Oval isn't the only automaker shifting production across the border and still invests heavily in its US operations. "We are proud that we have invested $6.2 billion in our U.S. plants since 2011 and hired nearly 25,000 U.S. employees," Ford spokesperson Christin Baker told The Detroit News. "Overall, 80 percent of our North American investment annually is in the U.S., and 97 percent of our North American engineering is conducted in the U.S." Though Trump has generally stood against over-taxation, he's been a staunch critic of free trade agreements like NAFTA that shift American jobs overseas. Fortunately for Ford, though, America's combover-in-chief stands about as much chance of being elected to the White House as Dearborn stands of reviving Mercury or Edsel. Related Video:

Ford offering $10,000 in incentives for new F-150
Thu, Jul 16 2015Not two months ago, Ford posted lower-than-expected first quarter earnings partly because of production issues with the new F-150, but raised the year's profit outlook thinking the production issues were over. A month later we got word of more manufacturing problems due to a shortage of frames, leaving the company unable to fulfill demand. The problems not only ate into Ford's bottom line, but also its market share, since the F-Series truck has been the best-selling vehicle for the past 33 years. Inventory still isn't where Ford wants it, and won't be until the end of September. The pipeline is stocked enough, however, that Bloomberg reports The Blue Oval is putting up to $10,029 on the hood in some parts of the country, and only on certain trims, as a way to stay competitive with rival truck makers. Ford lost 100,000 units of production during the changeover of the two plants that build it. The frame shortage compounds that, which has led to F-150 sales that are down 2.4 percent through the first half of the year. F-150 market share in June 2014 was 33 percent, this June it was 28 percent. Meanwhile, sales over at General Motors and Ram are climbing - Chevrolet Silverado sales were up 18 percent year-on-year in June. Ford said its incentive spending on the F-150 is down overall this year, and its average transaction price of $44,100 remains the highest in the segment. Still, it will look forward to solid footing to take on rivals. Related Video:
