1966 Ford Ltd Galaxie on 2040-cars
Windsor, Colorado, United States
|
This LTD is a true gem a
real survivor for sure. I found it at an estate sale locally,and bought
it on the spot. I purchased it from the original owner an old gentleman
who was downsizing his estate in general, the car has
49,000 documented original miles on it. You see cars advertised with low miles, the miles on this car are actual not turned over. He saved all the service records
from 66 , it was purchased from a local
dealer here in CO and lived its entire life in the garage I have the
thank you letter from the dealership and the hard plastic dealer service
card still in its case. This car has the 390 power plant and runs
perfect, turn key and purs, also stops and shifts smoothly, the car has all the options of the day ,rear
heat and air as well. Its the original Wimbledon white with a burgundy
interior, there is a slightly worn area on the drivers side rear seat other than that the interior is beautiful along with the factory floor mats that kept the carpet so nice, headliner and rear package area are just beautiful, all the bells and whistles work, engine cold warning light and flashing red parking brake reminder. Has the original spare and jack, I just put new tires on it
,replaced the battery and starter along with a complete tuneup with all
the fluids changed,also a new heater core. The wheels still had the paper stickers on the backs
with the ford part numbers, it rides like a magic carpet smooth and
quiet ,typical of the higher end 60s luxury cars,but still retains a
sportier look. The chrome and stainless trim are impeccable,right down to the chrome gas door trim, the grill
is highly sought after and is immaculate. Everything is still factory
original and everything works,horn, heater, AC,cigarette lighter. There is a slight crease in the passenger
side door and a few scratches on that side also a piece of wheelhouse
trim is missing same side . Previous owner had
trouble parking it towards the last of his driving days. All the glass
and rubber seals are perfect and the doors hood and trunk shut with
that firm solid feel, windows roll up and down perfectly. The car is certainly not 100% show car however it is in fantastic original condition for a 47 year old vehicle, feels like it was driven off the lot.
Overall its a beautiful example of 60s classic Ford, solid powerful and comfortable, this is a turn key start up and go car ,drives anywhere with absolutely no issues other than the constant thumbs up from others. I have to ask that if you make an offer or intend on purchasing the car please follow through and be sincere , alot goes into an auction so lets not waste each others time. I will require a $1000.00 non refundable pay pal deposit at the close of the auction and the remainder within 5 days before the car is released .Please ask any and all questions BEFORE making an offer, after the fact is not the time, I will be happy to answer all, Thanks . |

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Ford builds Lightweight Concept with Fusion shell [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014It's a fairly well known fact that removing weight from a car is essentially a panacea for many of the modern automobiles problems. Does it handle like crap? Remove weight. Underpowered? Don't add power; trim the fat. Need to improve fuel economy? It's diet time.
Actually executing a major weight reduction program, though, much like with human beings, is no easy task. Unlike you or I, where motivation is the issue, the prohibitive measure in trimming a car's waistline is money. Lightweight materials are expensive, with carbon fiber and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic still primarily in the domain of higher end vehicles. Even aluminum construction, pioneered on a mass-produced level by Audi and Jaguar, is only now starting to make its way into the mainstream, thanks to the upcoming Ford F-150.
With this concept, though, Ford is attempting to show that a mass-produced, lightweight vehicle isn't too far off. This is the Lightweight Concept, and while it may look like a Fusion, it weighs as much as a Fiesta. For reference, the lightest Fusion available to the public is the 3,323-pound, 2.5-liter model with a manual transmission. A manually equipped, 1.6-liter Fiesta, meanwhile, is just 2,537 pounds.
