 This 1965 Galaxie 500xl convertible was owned by my father and I have recently inherited it. Unfortunately I have no room to store the car and I have too many other toys to justify keeping it.

This car runs great and has the bucket seat interior with electric windows and a new fully functioning top. It was restored a few years back and has a nice matte black paint job, its a very solid car with no rust holes and only minor surface rust present under the gas tank.  The motor is a later model (non roller) 302 with Edelbrock intake and 600 4 barrel carburetor. The transmission is a c-4, 3 speed auto, floor shift. It has an HEI distributor with added chrome valve covers and breather. The car has dual exhaust and the lake pipes are non-functioning. 

There are 2 small rock dings in the front window, all other glass is in good shape, the trim and chrome is in good shape for its age with new smoothies and bfg radials. The drum brakes have been gone through and a dual line master cylinder was added for safety. The jambs of the car were left original and the arm rests are the original white color, all other interior pieces are blue and black and show moderate wear. The dash has some cracks but is completely stock, the aftermarket tac, oil pressure, temp and volts gauges are bolt on, as well as the under dash jvc radio. I have the original electric control for the windows, it needs new contacts, currently we are running a temporary control that does not fit the console. There is also a problem with the control switch for the electric top, but it does go up and down smoothly.

Please call if you have questions, 816.916.4253.  I will also have the car for sale locally, so if you want to make an offer to "buy it now" I will consider it here in town. We will assist with transportation if need be and have shipped cars overseas, so there should not be any issues as long as communication is maintained and a reasonable time frame is met after purchase. A $500 deposit is required with 48 hours of winning bid. If you choose to use paypal, the fees will need to be covered.

If you want to make a long distance drive home, I don't see any reason why the car would not make it, before my dad passed, we took a long 6 hour road trip together with no problems. If the car sells and you choose to go cross country, you will do this at your own risk as the car is 48 years old. I add this because there is always someone asking if it will "make the trip"

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

New upscale Ford Taurus revealed in Shanghai

Sun, Apr 19 2015

As much as the Ford Taurus may have going for it, we wouldn't classify it as a luxury sedan as much as a mass-market one. The story is different in China, however, where Ford has introduced an altogether more upscale version of the Taurus. Shown this weekend at the Shanghai Motor Show, the Chinese-market Taurus is longer and more luxurious than the sedan we know on these shores. For starters, its wheelbase has been stretched from 113 inches to 116. That means more legroom for the rear seat; useful in a market where the vehicle's owner is often chauffeured. Those rear seats can power-recline as well, with adjustable lumbar support and massage function. A fold-down armrest holds with controls for the seats, air-con and audio system. And panoramic sunroof tops the whole affair. That commodious cabin is wrapped in revised sheet metal that's designed to look decidedly more upscale as well. Power is provided by a 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 of unspecified output but which produces 315 horsepower in the Ford Edge, 325 in the F-150 and 335 in the Lincoln MKX. This version of the Taurus is earmarked specifically for the Chinese market for the time being, and set to be produced locally at the Changan Ford plant in Hangzhou. Scope out the images in the slideshow above and the details in the press release below for a closer look at Ford's new Chinese flagship.

Ken Block is at it again in Gymkhana 6

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

If there's one thing we'll say about Ken Block and his latest installment in the Gymkhana family, it's that it's far more structured than previous videos, but that doesn't mean it skimps on the entertainment. Block is on a purpose-built course which was touted as "The... Ultimate... Gymkhana... Grid... Course" in last week's preview. Unlike Gymkhana 5, which took placed on closed streets in San Francisco, this course seems much more compact.
Block has an entire array of challenges to tackle in his 650-horsepower Ford Fiesta ST, and none of them look particularly easy. In fact, we'd argue that Gymkhana 6's grid course requires much more precise driving that previous titles. There are Segways, Lamborghinis and massive pieces of construction equipment that all must be dealt with.
We've got the entire 6:28 of Gymkhana madness for you down below. Scroll down for the video and then hit Comments and let us know how this installment compares to previous Block works.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Ford is announcing six separate recalls for a variety of issues affecting a dozen models and a total of 100,610 vehicles in North America. However, according to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker, "None of them have caused accidents or injuries." Half of them cover fewer than 1,000 cars.
The largest recall covers 92,022 North American examples (about 83,250 in the US) of some models of the Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Interceptor, Flex and Lincoln MKT from the 2013 and 2014 model years; the 2012-2014 Edge and the 2014 Lincoln MKX. All of them have a potential issue with the halfshaft on the right side that might not be fully seated and could move outward over time. If it shifts too far, the models may no longer be able to drive, and the condition could also allow the vehicles to roll away, even when in Park. Dealers will inspect the shaft to make sure it's seated and will replace the part if necessary.
The next-largest recall covers 5,264 North American examples (4,867 in the US) of the Ford F59 Commercial Stripped Chassis from the 2011-2014 model years. It's possible that an electrical junction box can corrode in areas with salty roads and short circuit. The problem could potentially cause a fire. Dealers will replace the box with an improved design.
