I always wanted a 65-67 Galaxie growing up and ended up purchasing this one in 2011 in Oregon, spent a couple weeks tuning it up and then made a big road trip and drove it back across the country to Pennsylvania. The vehicle is in very nice shape. It has not been restored or messed around with that much and most of the stuff on it is original. The coolest thing for me is just how nice the undercarraige of the car is. As far as I'm concerned, the car, although not perfect, has character. As an owner, other than keeping it tuned up in and in working order, I like it the way that it is. But.... for the right somebody else out there, this car is a perfect candidate for a top to bottom restoration. I've provided many detailed pictures.
Now I'll tell you what is wrong with the car that I know of. First of all, the engine leaks oil out of the manifold. I add about a half quart or more to top it off every time that I fill up the tank with gas. I am not a "mechanic", but do know a little about how to work on a car, and my best diagnosis is that there are broken studs in the manifold. The car drives fine and the engine runs well, so for the past summer driving it I let it go. Although this may not be a big problem to fix for somebody that works on cars constantly, it would be a project for the non mechanic (me) to fix that up. The thought of fixing it jumped through my mind, but if I'm going to sell it, I'll leave that up to the next person.
On the driver's side fender there is a spot touched up with white paint right behind the tire. The trunk was completely repainted. Both of these things were there before I bought the car. A teenage girl bumped into my car last year in a parking lot, while the car was parked. The chrome on the driver's side taillight was bent and the paint and letters were scratched. It was repaired professionally at a body shop in Buffalo New York. The Chrome was replaced with an older part and the letters (except for the "G") were replaced with New Old Stock original galaxie letters (the rubber is black and perfect), the scratch on the body was fixed and painted. This was not a major collision and not something that would cause major damage to the car, was just a minor cosmetic thing.
I replaced the old carburetor with a new Edelbrock. I still have the old one, but it needs to be rebuilt. Also have the original air filter. With the passing gear stepdown rod, I couldn't get the linkage right with the new carburetor (didn't put that much effort into it), so I just tied it up with a bungy. I also replaced the belts, brakes, drums, master cylinder, coil and distributer, a few other small things.
This is a pretty great car. Perfect for a person that would want to restore a classic automobile. Look at the photos and let me know about any questions that you have.

Petrolicious pays visit to tuning sensation the Ringbrothers
Fri, 08 Nov 2013We caught up with a few projects from Ringbrothers at SEMA this year: a classic Ford Mustang body rendered in carbon fiber, and a De Tomaso Pantera-based concept that made us swoon.
It's with good timing then, that our friends at Petrolicious have uploaded their newest, well-crafted mini-documentary to the expansive airwaves of the Internet. Here, we meet the brothers Ring in person - Mike and Jim - and see how they've lent they're passion for craftsmanship to their business, along with their surname. A 1964 Ford Fairlane dubbed "Afterburner" and a 1965 Mustang called "Producer" star in this show.
Ford, Volvo top 2014 EyesOn Design awards
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Each year at the Detroit Auto Show, the top vehicle designs are recognized with the prestigious EyesOn Design award for production and concept vehicles. This year, the 32 EyesOn Design judges (comprised of current and former vehicle designers including Chrysler designer and SRT president Ralph Gilles, Kia designer Peter Schreyer and retired General Motors designer Wayne Cherry) handed out three awards for the Best Concept Vehicle, Best Production Vehicle and Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials.
Beating out the Mercedes C-Class and Ford F-150, the 2015 Ford Mustang was named the Best Production Vehicle as the top auto show debut at this year's Detroit show. The 2014 Volvo Concept XC Coupe took home awards as the Best Concept Vehicle and for its Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials.
Considering the Volvo's primer grey hue and subtle orange accents, it was a rather surprising winner for Innovative Use of Color, Graphics, and Materials over flashier concepts like the Toyota FT-1 and our Editors' Choice top pick, the Kia GT4 Stinger. Other vehicles in the running for the concept car award include the GT4 Stinger and Audi Allroad Shooting Brake
2015 Shelby GT350 Mustang sounds racy as it revs [UPDATE]
Thu, May 21 2015UPDATE: It seems as though the GT350 exhaust was just too hot for YouTube. The video has been removed, as you can see. We'll keep combing the Interwebs for a new version. If you're somehow still on the fence about the 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, then this video should provide some healthy encouragement about the new coupe. There's no high-speed action here, but you get to experience the wonderful sound of the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft start up, idle and throw some revs. At a twist of the key, the engine barks to attention, and a wonderfully crisp shriek comes from the exhaust when the driver blips the throttle. The GT350 even has a growly baritone at idle. According to the YouTube description, this car was on hand at the Carroll Shelby Tribute and Car Show in Gardena, CA. Unfortunately, videos online might be the best chance for many people to hear the wail of the latest GT350 for now. Ford is only building a total of 137 of them for the 2015 model year, but the numbers should pick up when the 2016 model year begins in just a few months.
