You are looking at a 1966 Ford Galaxie convertible that I am listing for a friend. He purchased the car earlier this summer thinking it would make a great driver for his wife - but alas she does not like the car. (she
does like it - but feels it is way too big for her to drive). So - as things have turned out he has decided to sell the car. In looking the car over it is solid with a newer paint job apparent. The black interior is in good
overall condition with no rips or tears. The carpeting is in great condition and the convertible top is newer as well. The top motors work great to put it up/down. Note that the rear glass is REAL glass NOT plastic
like most of the replacement tops use. There is an underdash stereo that my buddy has never used which is hooked up to speakers in the trunk with a booster as well. Note that the original push button factory radio
is still in place in the dash (so the dash was not chopped up to install an aftermarket radio in it) Wear items - such as pedal pads etc look to be original to the car and are not excessively worn, indicating a high mileage
car. The odometer shows 4286 but I would believe that the odometer has turned over at least once (see mileage in the listing header - no way knowing for sure what it really is). All the glass is in good condition.
The body is solid as stated and all the gaps are straight. The doors hang straight with no sag and the bottoms are good. Rockers, fender and 1/4 bottoms look good. Chrome still is shiny and not all pitted and all the
aluminum trim is in good condition including the grille. Note that the headlight trim and tail light chrome would need to be re-chromed for show, but they are great as they are for a really nice driver. Tires are newer
15 inch radials with nice wheel covers. The trunk appears as it should - with nice original carpet and spare tire cover. Running gear - 390 V8 big block. The engine APPEARS to have been out for rebuild - this is stated
because it does run great, has headers, late model HEI ignition, Edelbrock aluminum intake with Edelbrock 4 bbl. carburetor and it was detailed when out. We cannot guarantee this however!!!. Newer hoses and
belts have been installed along with a one wire alternator. Engine starts right up and runs great. Sounds great too through the headers and dual exhaust. Transmission works fine and provides nice smooth cruising.
Win the bid - fly in - take the train or bus or come with a buddy (or your better half) and drive this baby home..
Again - please note that I am listing this car for a friend. Should you have any questions or want more pictures please contact me through e-bay or call me at 269 795-2647. I will do my best to get back to you with
an answer.

Ford issues six recalls covering 101,000 vehicles for multiple issues
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Ford 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.
Court puts kibosh on apartheid lawsuit against Ford, Daimler
Thu, 22 Aug 2013Ford and Daimler have scored a major victory in a long-running lawsuit filed in US federal court by unnamed South African nationals. The suit alleges that both manufacturers and their subsidiaries sold their vehicles to the South African military, despite knowing that they'd be involved in violently putting down anti-apartheid protesters.
According to Reuters, South African plaintiffs filed the case under the 223-year-old Alien Torts Statute, a law which allows foreign nationals to file charges in US courts for perceived breaches of what was originally international law, but now more closely relates to violations of human rights.
And while the case - which also involves computer manufacturer IBM - has been tied up in federal courts for years, a recent case from the Supreme Court struck down a similar suit against Royal Dutch Petroleum (Shell), arguing that the ATS doesn't apply to corporations or to conduct if it occurred outside the US. In short, the law applies to individuals, but not corporations like Ford or Daimler. A US appeals court ruled that the conditions apply in this case, potentially drawing this long-running saga to a close, as the defendants will now be allowed to request that the case be dismissed in district court.
