1966 Ford Galaxie on 2040-cars
Morgan, Minnesota, United States
I am always available by mail at: micahmccandelario@birminghamfans.com .
For sale is what has to be about the nicest original 4-speed 1966 7 Litre in existence.
This is a completely rust free rock solid car from north east Colorado. It spent it's whole life within 40 miles
of Sterling Colo.
The car is a dark green metallic with an Ivy Gold bucket seat interior with a console and 4 speed along with power
window, door locks, power steering and power from disc brakes, (the correct ones for a 7-Litre with the outside
break line), and factory AM-FM radio (which works sometimes, other times not).
Door Tag Information: Body 63D Color R Trim 68 Date 13J D.S.O. 51 Axle 4 Trans 5
One of the reasons for the low miles I was told was one of the four owners of this car owned a string of auto parts
stores and used this car as a local show car. When I got it, it had velour inserts in the stock pattern on the
seats and a completely upholstered trunk. I returned these to original. I was also told that he added a posi unit
to the original rear end and added a little hotter crane cam. (The card is in the glove box) The car was treated
to a repaint sometime during this period.
The car has chrome and bright work that looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Everything in the interior
is like new condition.
The car is a great driver with tons of low end torgue and is one hell of a highway cruiser.
The car is unbelievably clean and rust free everywhere.
It came with slotted chrome wheels. I switched to steelies with hub caps for the stealth look.
The tires are new with 215-70X15 in the front and 255-70X15 in the rear.

Watch NASCAR racer Brad Keselowski do a burnout... in a hotel conference room
Fri, 08 Mar 2013A vast majority of hotels frown upon smoking inside the building these days, but Brad Keselowski doesn't follow the rules. During his introduction at the 2013 MiilerCoors Distribution Convention, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup champion smoked the tires of his Miller-sponsored Ford Fusion stock car, adding a pair of thick, black stripes to the carpeting of the Marriott World Center's conference room.
This definitely isn't a high-quality video, but it's the perfect vantage point to watch Keselowski lay down some rubber and receive a well-deserved standing ovation after pulling up in front of the crowd. Check out the short-but-sweet video posted below.
Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.
White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes
Fri, 07 Dec 2012At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.
