Thanks for looking! I am selling my 1967 Ford Galaxie convertible. I bought it in 2006 and believe I am the fourth owner (I even have the original owner’s manual and other documents). It has been garage kept since I have had it and the previous owner kept it garaged for the 7 years prior to my purchase. This car is not a project car (though with any almost 50 year old car, it will always have some things to work on…and I will identify some below). It is dependable and ready to go. To be honest, I have not ruled out making this car my daily car….it would be cool but I’m not sure its right to do so with a classic even though I would trust it as such. Everything is not original (major items are) but it is awfully close.

I have a clear TITLE in hand and it is currently licensed in Arkansas.

This vehicle is in excellent MECHANICAL condition and has been well maintained. It has the original 390 big block engine (the carburetor was originally a single two barrel but has been swapped for a four barrel intake and carburetor). Before I bought it, the engine was pulled for a complete overhaul with everything replaced except crank. In the last year, I have professionally had brakes overhauled and the C6 transmission rebuilt. I have replaced the gas tank with a new tank and have replaced the radiator with an OEM style radiator.

The WHEELS and TIRES pictured are relatively new and have lots of wear left. They are oversized and make the vehicle look great. I do have the original wheels and hubcaps as well and will convey them with the car.

The INTERIOR is in good shape. Seats, carpet, and upholstery have been replaced. The car has the original under dash air conditioning (it works as designed but it isn’t a modern AC unit).

The EXTERIOR is pretty good shape as well. The paint is about 10 years old and as such has some stone chips etc but it still looks good. The red color is the original color. The power convertible top works well and has no leaks. The convertible top was replaced when the car was painted. There is a tear in the rear passenger area (see photo). I decided not to replace it or deal with it otherwise since I pretty much drive it only with the top down. The bumpers are fine but I would rechrome them if I wanted to show the car (see photos as well). The frame has some rust but seems solid.

I have some spare parts. They will convey as well.

Price. I know one of the biggest questions is always “So how did you arrive at a price?” Initially, I looked it up on NADA. The average retail is $15,455. The high retail is $24,420. I know the car is more average than high. Similarly, I looked at the Hagerty valuation tool. It puts the cars in conditions (with 1 being best). Feel free to go to their website and look at how they describe them in more detail (or I can email you this car’s pdf), but in a nutshell:

· Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The one word description for #1 cars is "concours." This car at condition 1: $29,600

· Condition #2 cars could win a local or regional show. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent." This car at Condition #2: $21,900.

· Condition #3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car. This car at Condition #3: $15,800.

· #4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car. This car at Condition #4: $10,000.

So, this car is not concours and I think it would be competitive at a local car show but still not a 2. It is closest to 3 in my mind. That pretty much puts Hagerty and NADA in line with one another so I took that median price and backed it off to price it fairly.

I want you to know that this is a good vehicle and I want the buyer to be happy and feel that they got an honest deal. I think if you compare this to other listings, you will see that this vehicle stacks up nicely when you compare the mileage, features, and condition.

Please note that I am offering this vehicle locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time.

Please contact me if you have any questions. I have more pictures and will be glad to take specific pictures upon request. Also, if you are interested in flying in, I will be glad to pick you up at the Little Rock airport.

Thanks for looking!

2018 Ford F-150 Powerstroke vs. 2018 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel: comparing the specs

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Now that Ford has finally released specifications for its diesel Ford F-150, we can finally see how it stacks up against its sole competition, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. Naturally, since we haven't driven the new diesel F-150, we can't tell you which is better on the road, but there are interesting things we can glean from the numbers. Compare these and other potential new vehicle purchases using our tool. For one thing, the two trucks are extremely similar from a powertrain perspective. Both trucks use a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel, with the Ford using a 10-speed automatic, and the Ram using an 8-speed automatic. The Powerstroke engine is built in the U.K. but specifically tuned by Ford for American pickup truck duty. It is also is related to the diesel V6 used by Jaguar and Land Rover. The Ram 1500's engine is made by VM Motori. Only 10 horsepower and 20 pound-feet of torque separate the two, with the Ford getting the slight advantage. The Ford also produces its horsepower and torque slightly sooner than the Ram. Peak power in the Ford comes at 3,250 rpm compared to 3,600 rpm in the Ram, and peak torque arrives at 1,750 rpm in the Ford, and 2,000 rpm in the Ram. View 9 Photos More significant differences become apparent in the payload and towing area, both of which put the Ford at an advantage. The F-150 Powerstroke can carry 2,020 pounds of cargo, or tow 11,400 pounds. The Ram EcoDiesel, depending on configuration, can carry 1,100 to 1,600 pounds of cargo, and tow between 7,560 and 9,210 pounds. Fuel economy might go to the Ford if it hits the company's target of 30 mpg highway. That would beat the Ram's 27 mpg highway. We don't know what Ford's target city mpg is, but the Ram manages 20 in town with two-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive drops the city rating to 19 mpg. View 6 Photos The biggest decider between the trucks might be cost. Ford is only offering its diesel engine on higher end trims, which means that the cheapest diesel F-150 starts at $46,315. That's for a two-wheel drive Lariat extended cab with a 6.5-foot bed. Ram on the other hand, offers the diesel in everything from its ultra-bare-bones Tradesman pickup, allowing for a base price of just $28,585, up to the fancy Laramie Longhorn and Limited trims. Ram's diesel is also available with all cab variants, while Ford's is only offered in extended- and double-cab body styles.

Now you can 3D print your favorite new Ford

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Ford is letting people build their own cars, offering digital files so people can print 3D versions of their favorite models. This is way cooler than any old Matchbox or Hot Wheels toy. Ford this week started offering printable files for the F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350R, Focus ST and Fiesta ST. Folks can order the 3D models in 1:32 scale in plastic (that'd make the mighty large pickup truck about eight inches long) but the digital files let users tweak the scale to the their liking. Once people have the digital files, they can print out their own miniature versions of the cars, made out of soft plastics, sandstone, and even some metals. Ford says it expects demand for such files to grow as sales numbers for desktop 3D printers surges to 1 million units in 2018. That's up from about 44,000 last year. Ford already offers digital files for its company logo, the 1.0-liter engine block, and two older Mustang models. But these new models take this to a totally different scale. Check out Ford's press release below. PRINT YOUR FAVORITE FORD VEHICLE AT HOME: FORD FIRST AUTOMAKER TO OPEN ONE-STOP 3D SHOP ONLINE - Consumers can now download digital images and 3D-printable files of Ford vehicles at the first-ever automaker-licensed, one-stop 3D shop online - The Ford 3D Store offers printable files of F-150 Raptor, Shelby GT350R, Focus ST and Fiesta ST; more models will become available later - Online store is powered by TurboSquid.com, the leader in providing automotive digital imaging and 3D-printable files Want to 3D-print a Shelby GT350R at home? Or would you prefer to simply purchase an F-150 Raptor 3D digital image for a presentation? How about both? Ford fans can now download digital images for Ford vehicles at the first-ever, automaker-authorized one-stop online store for 3D-printable vehicle files. The Ford 3D Store, 3d.ford.com, allows customers to use advanced technology to make their own models of Ford vehicles of the size and material they desire, or simply opt to purchase a 3D digital file from a growing library of more than 1,000 Ford images. "3D printing at home is a growing trend, and it makes sense for us to offer our customers a chance to make their own 3D Ford models," said Mark Bentley, licensing manager, Ford Global Brand Licensing.

Spy shooter claims proof of upcoming aluminum Ford F-Series Super Duty

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

Ford has already confirmed that the 2015 F-150 (pictured above) was just the beginning for its more extensive use of aluminum. CEO Alan Mulally said it himself during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. We've even already seen the future Raptor testing with an aluminum body. But a recent discovery from an intrepid spy photographer might indicate that the lightweight metal is coming to the Blue Oval's Super Duty pickups in their upcoming generation, as well.
According to Automotive News, a spy shooter in Colorado spotted a prototype for the next-gen F-350 testing. He happened to have a magnet on hand and got close enough to check the truck out. When he held it up to the metal in the bed, it didn't stick, which signaled to him a switch from steel to aluminum.
Obviously, this claim raises some questions. Given that it was a test vehicle, one possibility is that the Blue Oval is just evaluating the feasibility of switching to aluminum for the Super Duty trucks, not necessarily committed to it yet. Ford has been testing it quite exhaustively, after all. In fact, much of the rest of the truck in question was covered in camouflage, so it's possible that the magnet failed to work along the rest of the body not because it was aluminum, but because it wasn't powerful enough to get through the disguising material. Thus, the lightweight metal's use could be far less substantial than on the new F-150. Still, it was a clever idea for the cameraman to check things out and might have given us the first hint about brand's next heavy-duty models.
