1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible - 23,500 Miles on 2040-cars
United States
1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. 23,450 miles - Excellent condition all original and un-restored. A classic muscle car. 1969 was the last year the Galaxie convertible was manufactured. Only 6,910 were produced, and few survive. I am the third owner and can provide the ownership history. I bought the car 2 years ago when it had 17,500 miles on it. There is no rust. This car has always been stored indoors in climate controlled storage. Owners have always been way over 40+ years of age.
Original numbers matching V-8 390 ci engine with automatic transmission. Does not consume or leak any oil The electric top looks and operates perfectly like it was new. It is hard to believe it is 45 years old. The removable cover has a small tear Factory air conditioning is functional but is not charged up. The heater and blowers work fine The interior is all original and looks immaculate. People do not believe it is original. Radio and all interior and exterior lights and signals work. Cigarette lighter and clock do not have power, but I have not done troubleshooting I replaced the wheel seals and the rear pinion gear seals due to evidence of leakage and a set of deteriorated control arm bushings The body is rust free. There is a golf ball size dent on the top of the right front fender from where I dropped a ladder on it. Other than that the body is dent free. The paint has a few scuffs and dings here and there. The chrome is all good except a blemish over the right exhaust pipe. If the car was repainted and the rear bumper re-chromed, this car would win local shows. The car starts and runs smooth and quiet, and drives smooth and steady as you would expect a car with this low mileage. This is a rare example of a classic 60s era big block convertible in original unrusted condition. Please contact me and I can answer questions or provide more photos |

2014 Ford Fiesta Titanium
Mon, 28 Oct 2013You might not be interested in owning a subcompact (B-segment) hatchback for $20,000. Let's be clear from the get go here: there are any number of reasonable arguments for staying away from the highest-content versions of these small cars. Ford's player in the B-segment arena is the newly updated 2014 Fiesta, and the Titanium trim represents the most luxurious instantiation of the model. We recently were loaned a Fiesta Titanium for a week, whose final sticker price hit $20,390, with navigation being the only standalone option added to the bottom line. By way of comparison, the most basic version of the all new, one-segment-up Mazda3 hatchback costs $19,740 with delivery and destination accounted for, and no options added on.
Hold on to that thought for a moment, we'll get back to it.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
