1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible... Amazing Survivor. Gorgeous Black Beauty!! on 2040-cars
Lakewood, Ohio, United States
|
This is a beautiful 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. This car will be hard part with, and one I wish I could keep. First, it's a 1966 conv, which is one of my favorite body styles for the Galaxie.. Second, it's black with excellent original red interior and Gorgeous Raven Black exterior. Third, it was bought new right here in my home town. The condition is incredible for a car that spent it's life right here in northeastern Ohio. Reason for the time capsule condition from what I was told is that it was bought new by the city of Lakewood, Oh and used as a official parade car in the late 60s and early 70s (stored in a heated garage if course) Second and third owners were collectors in Shaker Hts, Oh.... The condition speaks for it's self. This car was obviously babied and maintained every year of it's life. From looking it over, I couldn't find any rust at all, or body work, or evidence of an accident The paint and chrome in great condition too, I am not sure, but I think most of the paint is original The car runs and drives excellent. You could cruise all day on the hwy at 70.. Very smooth, tight and straight. Everything works except the clock. The radio works great, heater works great too. The top is brand new with new glass window. The boot is in good condition, although it's missing a couple snaps. Please fell free to ask any questions Someone would be hard pressed to find a nicer example.

NHTSA closes Ford F-Series Super Duty steering probe without recall
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation into 2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups, which was originally opened last year, has now ended without a recall. NHTSA was looking into steering failures on some 336,000 trucks.
The issue rested with the steering gear - NHTSA received five complaints of failures - which was redesigned in 2005. According to the report on the matter, investigators "found evidence of broken sector shaft gear teeth and piston damage consistent with incidents of single event overload."
NHTSA investigators, however, "found no evidence of fatigue or material property defects in any of the fractures. Analysis of complaint rates by vehicle build month showed no patterns indicating potential manufacturing quality issues and no difference before and after Ford introduced design changes to the input shaft and sector shaft seals in July 2007 to address potential leak concerns," according to the report, obtained by The Detroit News.
Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
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.
