The item you are bidding on is a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Hardtop Coupe. It is equipped with a 6.4l 390 cubic inch V8 powered by a 2bbl carburetor. It has a three speed C6 automatic transmission. It has power steering, power brakes, front disc, rear drum, and air conditioning equipped. The AC does not work, the system holds refrigerant, but the compressor will not power up, and the expansion valve is bad. The heater control panel works somewhat, but blower control is sketchy. The body is fairly straight, with the exception of the left front fender, which has dents that were pulled. Bumpers are bent and have surface rust. Side trim was removed. Door locks are inop. Car runs and drives. It needs carburetor work, as it requires starting fluid first thing in the morning to start, will start fine the rest of the day. All lights work, except hazards, which work intermittently. Previous owner installed new dual exhaust with turbo mufflers, sounds good. Needs a lot of interior work. I have door panels, but left one has major damage. Seats need recovered. Headliner and carpet are missing. There is some fiberglass work done in the trunk. Floor pans need to be replaced. Tires have tread but need to be replaced. The vinykl top is coming off and there is rust underneath. The only place I am aware it has rusted through is below the rear windshield. Dash pad is cracked.
The bottom line: This car runs and drives good, is a lot of fun to drive, gets a lot of looks. I suspect the carburetor is bad, a reman one runs about $125 from rockauto. I would hang on to it if I didn't already have another car I am restoring. I drive it regularly as I don't like to let it sit.
I am making no guarantees on this car. It needs to be restored. It is being sold as is. Period.

This is what a 3D-printed liquid metal Ford Torino looks like
Sat, 12 Oct 2013Artist Ioan Florea has encapsulated a 1971 Ford Torino with 3-D-printed liquid metal transferred onto the car using technology that he developed, and the result is a stunningly shiny, seamless design.
"The surface has the highest coefficient of reflectivity never achieved before," Florea told us in an e-mail, using "nano-materials and nano-pigments that create an internal three-dimensional structure and dictate the polymer how to behave." Sure... We'll leave it to him to make any more 3-D-printed liquid metal-transferred art pieces.
Florea grew up in Romania, and the motivation behind picking the old Ford as his canvas came from his childhood memories of what an American car is - "big and wide and fascinating," he says - and the European name of the car itself, which it shares with an Italian city.
Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
