THIS IS AN AMAZING 1967 FORD GALAXIE 500. IT HAS BEEN REDONE TO A LARGE EXTENT AND NEEDS ONLY SMALL THINGS TO MAKE IT A BEAUTIFUL CRUISE IN CAR. IT HAS BEEN REPAINTED AND TWO NICKLE SIZED HOLES IN THE REAR QUARTERS HAVE BEEN LEADED IN AND FIXED THE RIGHT WAY, OTHER THAN THAT I KNOW OF NO BONDO IN THE CAR. IT HAS ALL OF THE TRIM AND JUST NEEDS THE SIDE TRIM PUT BACK ON, I HAVE IT ALL AND MANY EXTRAS IF YOU EVER NEED THEM FOR THE LOWER TRIM PARTS. IT WILL HAVE A NEW SUMMIT RACING STARTER IN IT BY THE TIME THE AUCTION IS OVER. COMES WITH EXTRA TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES, THE EXTRA TRIM I TALKED ABOUT, AN EXTRA DASH PAD TO MAKE IT LOOK NEW AS WELL AS ONE ALREADY IN THE CAR, EXTRA REAR INTERIOR PANELS IN WHITE, THE FRONT DOOR CARDS ARE WHITE NOW AND ARE THE ONLY THING ON THE INTERIOR THAT DOESN'T MATCH. ALSO WILL COME WITH AN ENTIRE FRONT END POLYURETHANE BUSHING KIT THAT WILL MAKE IT HANDLE MUCH BETTER. MANY MISC. HOSES FASTENERS AND CLIPS AS WELL AS A 1967 FORD AND MERCURY SERVICE MANUAL AND SOME OTHER LITTLE THINGS I CANT REMEMBER RIGHT NOW. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REDRESSED WITH ALL NEW ACCESSORIES INCLUDING A NEW ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP POWER STEERING PUMP STARTER SOLENOID, ALL NEW OR POWDERCOATED BRACKETS AND BELTS AND HOSES. NEW DISTRIBUTOR, HARMONIC BALANCER, PLUGS WIRES AIR FILTER AND BATTERY ALL IN THE LAST YEAR. BASICALLY THE ENGINE BLOCK, INTERNALS, INTAKE AND CARB ARE ORIGINAL, HOWEVER THE INTAKE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL GALAXIE INTAKE IT IS A FORD INTAKE BUT WE BELIEVE IT TO BE FROM A HIGHER PERFORMANCE FORD MODEL 289. THE CARB HAS BEEN DECODED AS AN AUTOLITE 4 BARREL AND ALL THIS MAKES THIS THING FLY. IT DOES HAVE STANDARD DRUM BRAKES THAT WORK GREAT BUT THEY ARE NOT POWERED OR DISK. NEW VALVE COVERS MAKE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LOOK FANTASTIC TOO. THE STEERING COLUMN IS RED SINCE THE ORIGINAL COLOR OF THE INTERIOR WAS RED. OW ITS WHITE ON BLACK AND OTHER THAN THE ROOF LINER AND STEERING COLUMN ITS ALL BLACK. NEW L.E.D BRAKE AND RUNNING LIGHTS WERE INSTALLED TO MAKE THEM BRIGHTER AT NIGHT. THE 15' CRAGARS AND BF GOODRICH 225/70/15 ARE NEW WITH ONLY 33 MILES ON THEM. THE INTERIOR WAS SOUNDPROOFED WHEN THE NEW CARPET WENT IN AND IS MUCH QUIETER THA ORIGINAL. IT HAS A PIONEER STEREO NEW 6X9 REAR SPEAKERS NEW 4 INCH FRONT SPEAKERS AND AN AMP AND SUB WIRED INTO THE TRUNK. SEEMS TO CUT OUT SOMETIMES BUT SOUNDS AWESOME FOR A CRUISE IN OR A DAY OUT. MY FIRST CAR WAS A 1967 GALAXY 500 AND I WAS HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER, IT WAS FIXED BUT WAS NEVER THE SAME AND MY DAD SOLD IT IN 1988. I ALWAYS WANTED ANOTHER ONE AND THEN IN 2011 MY DAD GOT CANCER. I SOLD MY VICTORY MOTORCYCLE AND FOUND THIS ONE AND BOUGHT IT FOR HIM TO HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING ON AFTER HIS SURGERY. HE DID ALL THE WORK AND RECOVERED AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD A BLAST WORKING ON IT JUST FATHER AND SON. HOWEVER AT 43, I JUST FOUND OUT I AM HAVING A SECOND CHILD AND AM FORCED TO SELL THIS TO HELP PAY FOR A MINI VAN. YIKES I KNOW, BUT IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE AND ITS TIME TO GO TO SOMEONE WHO HAS TIME TO SHOW IT OFF. MY INSURANCE COMPANY, HAGARTY ASKED I INSURE IT FOR 11,200.00 LAST YEAR BUT I KNOW I WONT GET THAT MUCH RESERVE IS JUST TO PROTECT THE MONEY THAT WE HAVE IN THE CAR AND I THINK IS VERY FAIR. I CAN BE REACHED AT THREE THREE OH THREE FIVE THREE ZERO ONE FOUR NINE AND WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE BIDDING ON THIS GREAT CAR. IF I THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE I'LL TRY AND ADD IT. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING. OH AND ONE MORE THING IN THE PICTURES YOU WILL NOTICE A BLACK STRIPE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR, ITS A DECAL NOT PAINT, DAD WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITHOUT THE TRIM SO WE HAD A COMPLETE DECAL SET CUT THAT WILL ALSO GO WITH THE CAR.

Ford to update Sync, MyFord Touch software... again
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Ford hasn't had the best luck with its MyFord Touch and Sync systems, as the finicky infotainment system has been subject to a critical whooping while customer issues have helped sink Ford's IQS scores. The automaker has made a concerted effort, though, to try and fix MyFord Touch. And while the results have been mixed, The Blue Oval is hoping its latest free update, set to go live next week, will make things better.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the new system promises streamlined voice commands with fewer levels between opening query and actual result. Ford is also addressing where certain options are selected on the touchscreen. Rather than working one of the four quadrants on the homescreen, users will be able to select anywhere within the quadrant to make adjustments.
While it might only be a band-aid for MFT's problems, the fact that Ford is still trying to improve it is a promising sign. It's going to take more than just this update to address the system's ills, though.
2015 Ford Mustang 50th Anniversary Edition says 'happy birthday' in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Fifty years ago this week, Ford debuted the first-ever Mustang at the New York World's Fair. And to celebrate, the Blue Oval is offering up this special, 50th Anniversary Edition 2015 Mustang, which makes its debut at the New York Auto Show. It'll be a seriously limited affair, with only 1,964 examples of the special edition Mustang slated to be produced (the number chosen to coincide with the 'Stang's first year in production). But for those who raise their hands for the 50th Anniversary package, there's a pretty sweet package in store.
The 50th Anniversary Edition is based on the 2015 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, and is only available in two colors: Kona Blue, or Wimbledon White (pictured). The car also comes fully loaded - the only option for buyers to choose is the transmission. Should you opt for the six-speed automatic, you'll get a limited-slip rear differential with a 3.55:1 final-drive ratio (the 50th Anniversary car is also the only way to get a slushbox-equipped 'Stang with the Performance Pack). Selecting the six-speed manual 'box will net you a Torsen differential with a 3.73:1 ratio. All 50th Anniversary cars will be powered by Ford's 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8, estimated to produce more than 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque in the 2015 Mustang.
Inside, there's a cashmere-stitched, leather-wrapped steering wheel, with a similar detail found on the instrument panel, shift boot, door inserts, seats, and center armrest. Two-tone leather/black upholstery is also part of the 50th Anniversary package, and of course, there's a special logo on the seats.
New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides
Mon, 22 Jul 2013It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.
