1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 6.4l on 2040-cars
Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States

This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door sedan was purchased locally several years ago I and I began to work on it in my spare time. I ran out of money and now I must part ways with this car. It has not been driven in three years and I will try my very best to inform of what is right and what is wrong with the car. It is not drivable now but is still in good condition overall.
In the past seven years I have located all the missing trim. It has had new brakes (drum brakes), new lifters, new fuel pump, new high pressure oil pump, new A-frame bushings, new windshield seal, new vinyl top, new dash cover. The previous owner told me that he had the heads rebuilt in 1994 for use with unleaded fuel. I drove this car daily for a couple years until gas prices made this infeasible for me.
At this point it needs new tires, the front tires are totally rotten and do not hold air. The transmission front seal needs to be replaced and it leaks transmission fluid very badly. The carburetor (factory 2 barrel) needs to be rebuilt and the heater core needs to be replaced. It is not dripping inside but it does not put out any heat.
The body is fairly solid but there is some surface rust in a few spots and some body rust in the rear quarters and trunk pan.
I have a few extra parts that will be included such as additional window trim, a replacement grill, etc.
The 390ci motor and C6 transmission alone are very valuable items and this car has been a great old cuiser. Extenuating circumstances are forcing us to part though! Feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best!

Auto critic calls out Corvette, Mustang and Cherokee faithful
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Most automotive purists fear change, but not without reason. Change, after all, did kill big-block V8s, along with most station wagons and manual transmissions. But change has also brought with it far more performance, safety and fuel economy - not to mention ridding the world of shag carpet interiors, bias-ply tires and those horrible motorized seatbelts of the early '90s.
By this time next year, the Chevy Corvette, Jeep Cherokee and next-generation Ford Mustang will all be on sale and will all, in some way, have angered or offended purists. To those critics, Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press is preemptively telling them to stop complaining - at least until they've all been driven. From the Corvette's square taillights and the Cherokee's radical nose to whatever pony car purists will harp on the 2015 Mustang for, Phelan's column points out the positives of automotive evolution and the negatives of staying the course for too long. That's fair enough, but do you think Phelan is on point, or all wet? Head on over to the Detroit Free Press to read his words, then have your say in Comments.
Muscle wins big at 2013 Amelia Island Concours as 1936 Duesenberg, 1968 Ford GT40 take top honors
Wed, 13 Mar 2013The 18th-annual Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance took place this past weekend, and in one of the show's biggest years yet (bringing in more than 25,000 spectators and attracting more than 300 vehicles), two powerhouses ended up winning the judges' hearts. The top Concours d'Elegance award went to a 1936 Duesenberg SJN, while the Concours de Sport went to one of the celebrated marques, a 1968 Ford GT40.
Owned by Helen and Jack Nethercutt of Sylmar, CA, this flawless Duesy is described as "one of the most powerful open cars of the 1930s," and it displays design cues of the era like rolled fenders and a tapered rear end. The SJN's supercharged straight-eight allowed it to accelerate to 100 miles per hour in just 17 seconds - surely not a disappointing feat for its day.
On a much different level of performance and timelessness, this Gulf-livery GT40 from the Rocky Mountain Auto Collection is not outdone by the elegance of the big Duesenberg thanks to some well-documented racing history. This not only includes winning at LeMans in both 1968 and 1969 - Chassis No. 1075 also managed to win a total of six times in just 11 races.
2014 Ford Transit Connect Taxi hopes to fare thee well
Mon, 23 Sep 2013New York City may have selected its taxi of tomorrow, but there are still plenty of municipalities across the US with citizens that depend on yellow livery cars to get them across town in a jiffy. That's why Ford is going ahead with this, the new Transit Connect Taxi.
Based on the 2014 Transit Connect, the TC Taxi boasts a number of features designed to make the compact van appeal to discerning taxi drivers and their fares, with the most notable upgrade being a standardized prep package to convert the 2.5-liter four to run on liquefied petroleum or compressed natural gas. The clean-burning fuel options will allow operators to save on fuel costs and cut down on pollution without sacrificing performance.
A lower load floor and a new twist-beam rear suspension are meant to improve the riding experience for passengers, while the longer 2014 Transit Connect sports extra cargo space as well. In addition to the CNG/LPG conversion, the Transit Connect Taxi can also be easily modified for wheelchair access. Drivers, meanwhile, will have access to optional goodies like Sync with MyFord Touch and a rear-view camera.
