1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible on 2040-cars
Darlington, Indiana, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1966 Galaxie 500 Convertible. It retains its original 289 2V engine and automatic transmission. Options include power steering, manual brakes, and a power top. The car will need a full restoration. It will start with the keys while being fed from a small gas tank under the car. The cars gas tank is not hooked up and I would want to run a bunch of junk through the carb anyway. The electrical system on the Galaxie seems to be in good shape. The headlights come on and off with the switch and change with dim/bright switch, turn signals both front and rear work, flashers, and best of all the power top goes up and down great. The windows roll up and down good, doors open,shut, lock, etc. as they should. The interior of the car is in pretty fair shape for being original. The piping on the driver side of the front bench seat has a small piece missing and there is a tear when you pull the driver side of the bench forward that can only see when it is forward. The carpet is in usable shape. The dash has a few cracks in it but overall very usable. The windshield will need replaced along with the top material. I have several misc. pieces and parts to throw in with the car. including a complete taillight for the drivers side and several trim pieces. Also included is new top material in white, a water pump which will need replacing, and the original carb. As far as the body is concerned, the floors have had a patch on the passenger side, the frame is very solid, front fenders doors, hood, and trunk lid are in restorable condition. It will need a driver side rear quarter and trunk pan. The main part of the trunk is in great shape but the drivers side was messed up when the car was backed into something. The car will come with 4 14" steel wheels and tires that will work for transport. The car is not drivable at this time. It will need trailered to its new home. I can work out delivery for a fee within a couple hundred miles. Please call or email with any questions 765-376-3486 Thanks and Happy bidding!!!

Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350
Tue, 17 Dec 2013During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
