No Reserve!!
Here is my 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible that I have decided to sell at no reserve! I have had this car for several years, but I just haven't driven much at all. Too many cars! Anyway, this Galaxie runs very well and drives good. It has a smooth and powerful 460 V8 in it. Engine runs well with no smoke or noises. Mileage on the engine is unknown. The exhaust is good with a nice low runble. You could just double check the break system and put a new top on it and drive the car around all summer and then maybe restore it next winter if desired. The tires have good tread but are fairly old. The mag wheels clean up well and have good shine, but the caps are rusted. The 46,971 mileage on the odometer is likely over 100,000.
As can be seen in the pictures, the exterior body does have some rust and bondo. The front floors are original and solid. The back floors have been patched. The trunk floor has also been patched. I have a whole rear tail panel with taillights from another '66 to replace the rusted out section of the rear panel as shown in the pictures. The passenger side frame rail has a small hole in it shown in the pictures. The rest of the frame looks good.
The interior of this Galaxie is the original 500 XL bucket seat interior. It is in decent condition with some staining and a hole in the back seat from a rodent. It could benefit from a good cleaning. The carpet needs replacing. You will also need a new battery.
All in all, this car could be driven without restoring right away. The 500 XL's are nice cars and becoming more desirable. It is a very comfortable car to drive. I have a clear title in my name and will sell to overseas buyers. I do not accept bids from "0" feedback Ebayers because they are usually non-payers. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time if I get an acceptable offer before the end of the auction.

TX officer allegedly lets 140-mph street racer go with a warning [w/poll]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Being pulled over by the police is one of the most nerve-racking situations that a driver can go through, and it's even worse when you know that the officer has you dead to rights for speeding well over the posted limit. In this video, the driver of a heavily modified Ford Mustang with a claimed 966 horsepower at the rear wheels could have easily lost his ride for doing triple-digit speeds and street racing, but a friendly Texas police officer appears to send him on his way with a simple warning.
What's more, the driver in question wasn't just speeding - his Mustang was the camera car for a bunch of rolling street races in the wee hours of the morning on a Texas highway. The driver was more than willing to mix it up in the action, too. Eventually the cops catch on and pick the 'Stang to pull over, but not before the Ford owner runs a claimed 140 mph. With only audio to go on after the car is pulled over, the police officer seems incredibly nonchalant about catching someone who was so brazenly breaking the law. Incredibly, the patrolman actually tells the driver that he's seen everyone racing tonight but ignored them. With traffic picking up, the cop says that it's time to "cut it out" and go home for the night. As far as this video shows, that was the end of it.
Warning: There is explicit, not-safe-for-work language in the video below.
Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list
Tue, 17 Jun 2014
The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.
Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
