Ford Galaxie 500 circa 1967 in very good shape. Bought this car about a decade ago and it had had extensive mods performed prior to my purchase. The Galaxie has a 428 c.i. Ford FE motor from FE Specialties in Sacramento, CA. I am in possession of nearly $16,000 in receipts for parts and labor on this car for work done to it, prior to my purchase of the car. Looking at the receipts, it appears most work was done around 2000 to 2002. Pretty sure it now has a 3:25 locking rear axle. C-6 transmission seems to be pretty beefy with B&M accessories and requires specific trans fluid. The body appears to have the original paint and interior. The battery has been relocated to the trunk over the right rear wheel in a battery box. The car has a nice Alpine stereo with 40amp Clarion booster. Good reliable alarm system that you don't need to worry about. I have the missing piece of trim missing on the dash under the glove box buried in my garage. The car comes with the original owners cards from Sacramento California circa 3-1967. Original owners manual. Original owner was apparently a lady. Bought the car locally, which is about an hour from Sacramento, CA where this car resided most of its existence.
Data plate is intact and reads as follows; /Body-63B /Color-6 /Trim-6U /Date 14-B /DSO-72 /Axl-8 /Trans-Y
Working on the brakes, the Galaxie has and aftermarket electric vacuum generator due to the high lift camshaft. No vacuum assist as this time, but will fix, if not fixed prior to sale may negotiate price a bit.
There's really too much stuff on this car to list everything, and I'm more of a driver than a mechanic. Someone who enjoys big Ford FE power and a nice full framed car like these will dig this car.
Gets more comments than any car I've ever owned. That list includes some pretty wild rides too, so that says a lot about this car.

Volkswagen could outsell GM in China for the first time in nine years
Fri, 27 Dec 2013As of the end of November, Volkswagen had sold 70,000 more cars than General Motors in China in 2013, making it appear inevitable that VW will outsell GM there. The feat would return the German brand to the top of chart in China for the first time in nine years, but even the second-place getter won't be complaining too loudly: both automakers sold more than three million vehicles in a market pegged to hit 16 million sales this year.
Volkswagen said it could have sold more cars if it had had more production capacity in China. The arrival of a new-to-China Audi A4, a China-built A3 sedan, the VW Bora and Skoda Octavia, as well as an $18.2-billion-euro investment in the country to construct new factories, means VW should see its numbers grow in 2014. GM's lineup is expanding next year, too, adding four Chevrolet nameplates and two vehicles to its Baojun brand as it tries to get to five million in sales by 2015.
Among other automakers, Ford benefited from good product and woes for Japanese automakers over a territorial dispute with China, outselling Toyota by almost 32,000 units through the end of November. The Ford Focus is China's best-selling vehicle so far this year.
Next Lincoln Navigator to drop V8 in favor of V6, but Ford Expedition might get both
Tue, 12 Mar 2013A great many buyers fled from full-size body-on-frame SUVs to car-based crossovers in large measure to save fuel. But that doesn't mean there's still not a buying audience for more traditional truck-based utility vehicles, and those consumers doubtlessly wouldn't mind saving some dollars at the pump, too. According to Motor Trend, those shoppers might be in luck.
That's because the magazine has confirmed that Ford isn't walking away from the full-size SUV segment, and it's poised to do something about its offerings' economy ratings, too. According to MT, global Lincoln director Matt VanDyke has hinted that the next Navigator may drop two cylinders and go with a V6 model - the current model gets just 14 miles per gallon in the city and 20 on the highway from its 5.4-liter V8. The obvious fitment would be Ford's 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, an engine that has spread like kudzu throughout the rest of the Blue Oval's large vehicle lineup.
Downsized turbocharged engines like Ford's EcoBoost franchise have come under fire as of late for not delivering their EPA fuel economy ratings, but their benefits extend beyond consumption - the 3.5L offers superior power and a better torque curve than the naturally aspirated V8. MT also suggests that Ford's 3.7-liter V6 could form the base engine for the next Navi - it has similar horsepower but a lot less torque than the current 5.4L. That may be less of a problem with the next generation tipped to go on a diet, which could level the playing field somewhat.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
