1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. White, 123,000 miles, V-8, 289 c.i.d., Autolite 2100 carburetor, 3-speed manual transmission on the column, power steering, manual brakes, no A/C, working AM radio. All gauges and lights are functional. The clock does not work. This Ford is a nice driving car, it shifts well and tracks straight. You can drive it home. This is not a show car, but it is very presentable. On a scale of 1-10, I would rate it a strong 7. The car was repainted by previous owner. There are a few small bubbles near the bottom of the passenger side door. Floor pans are in good shape. There are two small holes in the left rear floor pan, about a nickel in size. All the exterior trim is present, but it is not perfect. Both bumpers are very nice. The convertible top is serviceable, but has some holes and should be replaced if you intend to drive in the rain. The original tonneau cover and foam pads are included. The cover is missing a few snaps, but is usable and does not flap at speed. I installed two new hydraulic cylinders (three years ago) and the power top functions very well. There is a tiny (1/4”) crack in the windshield that has not changed in size in the last 8 years. The interior is complete and presentable, although I think the front seats came from another car. The color is not a perfect match and the circular chrome pieces along the stitch lines are not present. The carpet is usable, although loose around the edges. The sun visors are worn. The dash pad shows the usual curling of the edges. The interior trim is in good shape. The chrome trim along the inside of the windshield is pitted. The driver’s seat bottom has some rips that I hide with a seat cushion. The spare tire and jack are present. If I completely fill the gas tank it will leak a little. I haven’t investigated the source of the leak. If you want them, I can include two good, rust-free front doors for an additional $100.00. The wheels (American Racing Wheels) and tires (BF Goodrich radials) are about 2 years old. If you are close enough, I welcome you to come drive this car. |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Ford mulling EcoSport for US? [w/poll]
Mon, 03 Jun 2013"We certainly have that ability. We're studying it very, very closely." Those are the words of Jim Farley, global head of sales, marketing, service at Ford. The investigation Farley is referring to is the possibility of selling the company's new EcoSport crossover in America.
The diminutive Fiesta-based EcoSport was developed for emerging markets like Brazil and, more recently, China, but it apparently may have a future in the States, where it would form a new entry-level rung below the Escape in Ford's already robust crossover stable. Ford has big plans for its tiny CUV - Farley tells Automotive News that the EcoSport is only available in 10 countries right now, but by 2017, its distribution will have mushroomed to 62 countries. At the time the second-generation model launched at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show as a 2013 model, Ford said the EcoSport would eventually be sold in nearly 100 markets worldwide.
The Brazilian- and Indian-assembled EcoSport is available with a variety of gasoline-powered engines, but the 1.0-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost giving 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque would seem to be the powertrain of choice for America, as it was recently confirmed for the stateside 2014 Fiesta.
Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit
Tue, 30 Jul 2013If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
