No Reserve!!
Here is my 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible that I have decided to sell at no reserve! I have had this car for several years, but I just haven't driven much at all. Too many cars! Anyway, this Galaxie runs very well and drives good. It has a smooth and powerful 460 V8 in it. Engine runs well with no smoke or noises. Mileage on the engine is unknown. The exhaust is good with a nice low runble. You could just double check the break system and put a new top on it and drive the car around all summer and then maybe restore it next winter if desired. The tires have good tread but are fairly old. The mag wheels clean up well and have good shine, but the caps are rusted. The 46,971 mileage on the odometer is likely over 100,000.
As can be seen in the pictures, the exterior body does have some rust and bondo. The front floors are original and solid. The back floors have been patched. The trunk floor has also been patched. I have a whole rear tail panel with taillights from another '66 to replace the rusted out section of the rear panel as shown in the pictures. The passenger side frame rail has a small hole in it shown in the pictures. The rest of the frame looks good.
The interior of this Galaxie is the original 500 XL bucket seat interior. It is in decent condition with some staining and a hole in the back seat from a rodent. It could benefit from a good cleaning. The carpet needs replacing. You will also need a new battery.
All in all, this car could be driven without restoring right away. The 500 XL's are nice cars and becoming more desirable. It is a very comfortable car to drive. I have a clear title in my name and will sell to overseas buyers. I do not accept bids from "0" feedback Ebayers because they are usually non-payers. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time if I get an acceptable offer before the end of the auction.

Ford F-150 Tremor to pace NASCAR Truck Series this weekend
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Ford's bro-tastic F-150 Tremor will be pacing this weekend's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway. The Tremor fills a gap in the Ford F-Series lineup that we imagine the NASCAR set have clamored for - a hot-rod pickup truck.
Where the F-150 Raptor is designed to go quick on anything, the Tremor and its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 are designed to tackle the road. The 365-horsepower and 420-pound-foot EcoBoost is unchanged from the rest of the F-150 line, but it combines the shortest drive ratio with the lightest two-door body, making it a bit of hot rod.
Ford will be offering hot laps with Michigan native Brad Keselowski behind the wheel of the Tremor for fans that arrive in the Irish Hills on August 14. The main showing for the new pickup will be the August 17 race, though, when it'll lead the field at the start of the race and through cautions.
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.
Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch
Tue, 16 Jul 2013A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
