Bloomington, Indiana, United States
|
1966 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door This is a great original car. Great overall condition, runs
and drives great. This is an unrestored, unmodified, untouched original car. It
is the original paint, no damage, no repairs and all the doors, hood and trunk
fit great with even gaps. It has all the trim, hubcaps and it is complete. It
shows just under 56,000 and that is the original miles. I purchased it from the
family who owned it all its life. Please read below for all the details. Engine: 390 Cubic inch Automatic Power steering The car has had a recent tune up, transmission service,
brakes checked and carb rebuilt. It goes down the road really well, no knocks,
no smoke. It runs, shifts and idles great. When I say recent, it has only 10
miles on it since work has been done by a professional shop. New tires. Interior: The front seat has no rips although the bottom on the
driver’s side the material is separated. It may be able to be stretched and
fixed. The back seat is perfect. The dash has no cracks and has good color. The carpet is worn and torn on the driver’s side only at the
door. The door panels are worn at the top and bottom although in
good shape overall. The pillar covers are broken and a new set, the right color
comes with the car. The headliner is in good shape except for a small tear near
the back seat coat hook. I have the steering wheel chrome horn ring, it is not on the
wheel. Exterior: Original paint. It is faded although I think it could be
buffed out to drive it as is. There are a few rust spots, although not big. They are on
the passenger left hand door, the size of a quarter. The two rear fenders at
the bottom have a little rust. The floors are good, no rust. No rust in the
door jambs. The frame and underbody is good. The trunk has rust on the lip where the latch is. Also the
trunk floor has rust although only pin holes through the floor. Easily fixable. All the trim and emblems are on the car. The outside mirrors are off the car, I have them and they
will come with the car. The front bumper is rusty on the bottom half. No thru holes,
although a little rusty. The back bumper has surface rust. It is in good shape Both bumpers are straight, no dents and they are not bent. All the trim around all the doors, windows, side and around
the wheel wells is very good. All emblems are there. All glass is good, no cracks. The light bezels, front and back are good along with the
lenses. The grille has only one small dent which can easily be
corrected. This is great original car that runs and drives great, is in
great original condition, is very straight and comes with all the parts. You
can drive it now and fix it as you go or just leave it like this, buff it out
and have a great time for very little money. Pickup only, no delivery. Please arrange for pickup soon after winning as the place
where I have it stored inside was recently sold and I will no longer have that
storage location. Deposit within 5 days, via Paypal or cash or certified
check. No trades please. Please feel free to ask questions. |

Ford to add more than 2,000 jobs in Kansas City
Thu, 02 May 2013Continued high demand for the Ford F-150, along with the addition of the all-new Transit series of commercial vehicles, has led Ford to announce that it will add over 2,000 jobs at its Kansas City Assembly Plant. At the time of the announcement, the plant boasts 2,450 hourly employees working on two shifts. All told, Ford will invest $1.1 billion in the Kansas City plant to expand truck production and begin producing the Transit series.
According to the automaker, fullsize truck sales are up 19 percent through April of 2013, leading to an additional 900 workers and a third shift of production for the F-150. Production of the Transit series will begin in the fourth quarter of this year, requiring an additional 1,100 workers. In addition, Ford estimates that a total of 18,000 jobs will be created by suppliers to its Kansas City plant to support the additional vehicle production.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines
Fri, 25 Oct 2013The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake
Thu, 19 Sep 2013History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.
