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.

2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 fills an F-150 Raptor-sized void

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Ford is rumored to possibly debut a new F-150 Raptor at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show in January, but whether that's the case or not, Hennessey Performance is ready to fill the muscle truck niche now with its latest VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged based on the 2015 F-150. The fantastically named VelociRaptor package has been available on the regular Raptor for the past few years, taking power up to 600 horsepower or more, depending on what the buyer desired. With the latest one, the performance truck is now based on the aluminum-bodied F-150, specifically the FX4 Super Crew model with the 5.0-liter V8. "Having Ford's world-class new truck design, with a weight savings of nearly 700 pounds, our VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged will have an even greater level of performance and driving excitement," said founder John Hennessey in the company's release. The heart of VelociRaptor is the Roots-type supercharger running at 8 psi on the V8. With help from upgraded fuel injectors, a proprietary engine management system and stainless steel exhaust, it boosts grunt from a stock 385 horsepower to over 600 hp. To make sure that power gets to the road, the package also includes 33-inch BFGoodrich mounted on 17-inch Hennessey wheels. For buyers in need of more, the company offers optional parts including an off-road coilover suspension, different front and rear bumpers, a winch, LED light bar and Brembo brakes. Speaking to Autoblog, Hennessey said he feels confident that the latest VelociRaptor could do high-four-second sprints to 60 miles per hour, compared to the outgoing model in the low-five-second range. Prices for the VelociRaptor start at $73,500, which includes the donor F-150, and orders are open now. Actual deliveries should start by March at the latest, according to Hennessey. The company also plans to offer a similar package for EcoBoost F-150s later. Scroll down to read the full announcement about this muscle truck. Introducing the 2015 Hennessey VelociRaptor 600 Supercharged Texas tuner adds power and improved off-road capabilities to Ford's all-new aluminum bodied pick-up trucks December 16, 2014-For immediate release Sealy, Texas-For the past five years, Ford F-150 truck enthusiasts have had the special opportunity to own the SVT Raptor. With 411 hp and baja pre-runner capabilities, the Ford Raptor was one of the most capable 4x4's ever built. Sadly, Ford Raptor production has ended, leaving a void in the market for 2015.

Amazon can now deliver packages to some Ford and Lincoln vehicles

Tue, Apr 30 2019

Nothing succeeds without complications popping up along the way. Sure, Amazon's Prime delivery services have made shopping more convenient than brushing your teeth, but leaving millions of packages on doorsteps comes with an inherent danger: Thieves might swipe them without anybody knowing. Amazon's solution is called Amazon Key, which allows delivery men and women to enter a customer's house or car to drop off a package. This week, Ford and Lincoln announced they would be partnering with Amazon to integrate the service into some of their vehicles. Ford is following in the footsteps of Volvo and General Motors, as both companies announced their participation about a year ago. That includes Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC. Key will be made available for 2017-and-newer Fords equipped with FordPass Connect, and 2018-and-later Lincolns with Lincoln Connect. Key is not available everywhere, but it can be used in dozens of city throughout the U.S., and the network is expanding. To look for compatibility for your car and city, check on Amazon's dedicated Key website. Like every other tech invention these days, Key requires a smart device application, which requires a one-time setup. The service is available on the Key app or the FordPass and Lincoln Way apps. While ordering on Amazon, customers will then select in-car delivery during checkout. Input a public delivery address, and park the car within two blocks of that address. While the order is in transit, Amazon will provide status updates, another feature that takes away some of the anxiety of waiting for a package to be delivered. The package will be put into the car within a four-hour window, and users will get notifications that the exchange is complete, and the car is again securely locked. Should customers change their minds, they can always cancel the delivery method, and the car will remain locked. In that case, the delivery could go to the building where the car is parked, or be rescheduled. Ford imagines this as the beginning of numerous car-based services in the near future that can be scheduled while the owner is not there, such as car washes.
