1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 6.4l on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States
|
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door sedan was purchased locally several years ago I and I began to work on it in my spare time. I ran out of money and now I must part ways with this car. It has not been driven in three years and I will try my very best to inform of what is right and what is wrong with the car. It is not drivable now but is still in good condition overall.
In the past seven years I have located all the missing trim. It has had new brakes (drum brakes), new lifters, new fuel pump, new high pressure oil pump, new A-frame bushings, new windshield seal, new vinyl top, new dash cover. The previous owner told me that he had the heads rebuilt in 1994 for use with unleaded fuel. I drove this car daily for a couple years until gas prices made this infeasible for me.
At this point it needs new tires, the front tires are totally rotten and do not hold air. The transmission front seal needs to be replaced and it leaks transmission fluid very badly. The carburetor (factory 2 barrel) needs to be rebuilt and the heater core needs to be replaced. It is not dripping inside but it does not put out any heat.
The body is fairly solid but there is some surface rust in a few spots and some body rust in the rear quarters and trunk pan.
I have a few extra parts that will be included such as additional window trim, a replacement grill, etc.
The 390ci motor and C6 transmission alone are very valuable items and this car has been a great old cuiser. Extenuating circumstances are forcing us to part though! Feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best!

Ford of Europe celebrates Mondeo's 20th anniversary
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Ford's European operations are celebrating a milestone of sorts as the Mondeo, the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter D-segment sedan in the old country, celebrates its 20th anniversary. The mid-sizer, which was sold in the US for a short time as the Contour, has been a far more popular vehicle in Europe - even receiving regular praise from one Jeremy Clarkson.
Narrated by Cockney actor Ray Winstone, the video goes through the Mondeo's years and how it's evolved from 1993 to the as-yet-unreleased fifth-generation model, which is essentially the same as the Ford Fusion that's sold in America. Take a look below for the full video from Ford of Europe.
SEMA crowns Mustang, FR-S as this year's hottest cars in the building
Wed, 31 Oct 2012After wrapping up the first day of the 2012 SEMA Show, organizers handed out awards for some of the trendiest vehicles on display. Since the whole point of SEMA is to show off new products available in the aftermarket world for use in cars, trucks and SUVs, each year, the show distinguishes the most popular vehicle in various segments. Not surprisingly, this year's Hottest Car and Hottest Sport Compact are the Ford Mustang and Scion FR-S, respectively, while the Ford F-Series brought home the Hottest Truck and the Jeep Wrangler was named the Hottest 4x4-SUV.
More than 2,000 companies are at this year's show, and the display booths represents a "vote" for each car to determing the trendiest vehicles in each of the four categories. It isn't clear if these awards also take cars brought by OEMs into account, but the Mustang and FR-S were definitely well represented by both OEM and aftermarket show versions.
As usual, the OEMs showed up in force at the this year's SEMA Show exhibiting a variety of cars ranging from production-intent cars like the beastly Ford Mustang Cobra Jet to much flashier rides like Scion's Carbon Stealth FR-S.
Ford of India in hot water for Figo celebrity bondage ads
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Apparently sensibilities in India, at least in the case of some Ford marketing partners, are downright lascivious at times. Case in point are a new series of print ads, presumably touting the vast cargo capacity of the Ford Figo hatchback, that involve more than a whiff of T&A, S&M and other sexy abbreviations.
In all seriousness, the advertising campaign is taking some major heat in the Indian press for being outrageously sexist. All three images - which seem to be produced by a graphic artist with some Heavy Metal work in his/her portfolio - show bound and gagged people stuffed into the Figo's boot. With a tagline reads, "Leave Your Worries Behind." one version features a peace-sign throwing Silvio Berlusconi holding hostage three buxom and barely clad women, all wearing ball gags with hands and feet bound. Charming. Another version shows Paris Hilton similarly kidnapping a trio of Kardashians, while a third (tame in terms of the clothing at least), has Michael Schumacher toting Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, and Lewis Hamilton.
Clearly in bad taste, at least, the Indian source also questions the timing of these risqué Ford ads, as the follow by days new anti-rape legislation passed by the Indian Parliament. Ford has responded in a statement, that it and its advertising partner (JWT India) "deeply regret" the ads, and claim that they "never should have happened."
