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! |

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII
Fri, 12 Apr 2013Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.
Jeep Grand Cherokee, BMW i8, Ford F-150 win 2015 Green Car Awards in DC [w/video]
Tue, Jan 27 2015There were three shiny trophies handed out at the Washington Auto Show last week by Green Car Journal, and they went to three different examples of what "green" means in the automotive industry today. The Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel won the award for the 2015 Green SUV of the Year, the BMW i8 was named the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year and the Ford F-150 took the 2015 Green Car Technology Award honor. There is a case to be made that the aluminum body of the new Ford truck will make a bigger impact in the overall fuel usage in the US than almost any other vehicle, given the numbers of F-150s that Ford sells each year. The B20 biodiesel-capable Jeep gets up to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. And the i8 puts all sorts of new, fuel-saving technologies into an attractive package. Looking over the winners, and the list of finalists you can see in our photo gallery, and you can see that the definition of green is expanding every year. You can watch Green Car Journal editor Ron Cogan hand out the 2015 awards in the video below and we'll for sure be paying attention to what wins next year. 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year and Green Car Technology Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has named the Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel its 2015 Green SUV of the Year™ and the BMW i8 its 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year™, with the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 earning the magazine's 2015 Green Car Technology Award™. Winners were determined by a jury of Green Car Journal editors and automotive experts. The prestigious awards were announced in Washington, D.C. today at a Green Car Awards™ press conference held during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day at the Washington Convention Center. "These are truly commendable vehicles representing the 'best-of-the-best' in so many ways," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "The auto industry's very early focus on small cars and efficiency-for-environment tradeoffs has evolved to now include a more dynamic field of 'greener' models in all vehicle classes. Those wanting greater efficiency or better environmental performance are no longer constrained by limited choices or vehicle types that fall outside their top purchase preferences.
Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.
