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 to hack $4k off price of Focus EV amid slow sales
Wed, 10 Jul 2013Between slow sales and a hefty price drop for its nearest rival, the Ford Focus Electric may be looking at a pretty substantial price cut. The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will drop the price of the all-electric by about $4,000 to $35,200 to be more competitive with the Nissan Leaf, which received a big price cut for 2013 down to $28,800.
Ford has already admitted to having low expectations for the car's sales and massive rebates were reported earlier in the year, but there is still no official word from Ford on this matter. The company's consumer site still lists the 2014 model's starting price as $39,200. In addition to the Leaf, the Focus Electric will also have to deal with the lower prices of smaller EVs including the Honda Fit EV, Fiat 500e and the Chevrolet Spark EV.

Alan Mulally talks about why Ford's Falcon had to die
Tue, 20 Aug 2013When Ford made the decision to end production of the Falcon sedan and Territory CUV in Australia, it wasn't a popular move Down Under. The large, four-door Falcon had been in production for 50 years, and while Ford has reaffirmed its commitment to the Australian market, it's understandable that some people still aren't all that crazy about the Blue Oval's decision.
Speaking to CEO Alan Mulally after Ford's Go Further event in Sydney, Australian site Go Auto reports that the decision was not one made lightly, and that the automaker is doing everything possible to respect the Falcon and Territory's "stakeholders." It's an interesting piece that shows a softer side of a corporation, while demonstrating that Ford is doing everything in its power to make the end of production as smooth as possible for all parties.
Head over to Go Auto for the full series of remarks from Mulally, and then let us know what you think of Ford's handling of the Falcon and Territory discontinuations, in Comments.
