1966 Ford Galaxie 500 2 Door Hardtop Fastback. This is a one owner car, and I have the original title. It was originally a 352/4 barrel with a new one piece aluminum cased C-6 automatic transmission. The owner popped that engine in the 1970's and replaced it with a 289 2BBL from a 1966 Ranchero, so the model year on the block is correct. The car runs and drives, but it is 57 years old, and the owner wasn't able to take care of it for many years before he passed away. It will need a little attention before it can be a daily driving project, but not much. It has a new radiator, new upper and lower radiator hoses, new thermostat, and a freshly rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 carb. I also have some new front brake parts to go with it.
The body is tight, with some very minor rust spots in the quarters that have been filled. The floor is good, but the trunk has a little rust. It had a vinyl top, but the owner removed some time ago and it needs filling and sanding. The car is in primer and about 80% ready for paint. It was originally "Springtime Yellow" with a "Raven Black" top.
The interior is from a 1967 Lincoln Continental and it looks great in the car. The seats are starting to get dry, and need to be cleaned and moisturized, but they still look really good. The front seats are powered, but I haven't had the chance to hook them up and check them. The headliner is great. The door panels are good. It will need new carpet, a new dash pad, and a new package tray, though.
All in all, this car is in good shape, and will make a easy project for someone.
The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. I may be able to deliver this car to certain areas for a reasonable fee. Email me and we can discuss this. THANKS!!!

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
Ford 1.0L EcoBoost 3-Cylinder: Autoblog Technology of the Year award finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014As the old saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement." But these days, many automakers are launching powerful, downsized engines that offer similar or better power output than their predecessors, all while offering improvements in fuel economy and emissions. These days, we're seeing automakers replacing eight-cylinder engines with turbocharged sixes, and the naturally aspirated six-cylinder motors are being phased out in favor of potent turbo fours. But Ford has gone even smaller, offering a three-cylinder, turbocharged engine with one single liter of displacement.
Sure, three-cylinder engines aren't anything new - they've been offered around the globe for ages. But Ford's EcoBoost 1.0L powerplant is perhaps the best application the Autoblog team has tested. Gone are the triple-cylinder complaints of yore - this engine doesn't sound anemic or buzzy, and there's healthy power output on tap. In fact, compared to the 1.6-liter inline-four that Ford also offers in the Fiesta, the 1.0-liter is more powerful, while boasting an impressive 45 miles per gallon on the highway.
This engine has already received numerous accolades, including winning the International Engine of the Year award in 2012, 2013 and 2014. The 1.0L EcoBoost will be available in the refreshed 2015 Ford Focus here in the US.
Honda giving away free Civics in Forza Horizon to celebrate launch
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Just a friendly reminder from Honda: The Honda Challenge Pack DLC is now available for Forza Horizon. To reward you for the trouble of pressing a few buttons on your Xbox controller, you'll get the 2013 Honda Civic Coupe, an HPD Rally Fit and a 1986 Honda Civic Si Coupe in your garage, and you'll get them free. The event of the new DLC has also kicked off a photo contest that will reward someone with an Xbox 360 console wrapped in a Honda Civic Si theme.
Otherwise, the word "Challenge" keeps coming up because of the chance to run an online race against IndyCar driver Scott Dixon. The track for that digital throwdown has already been decided by Xbox players who voted before January 8. Yet it's not too late to hop into the Honda section in Xbox Live and lay down a time fast enough for a shot at the title "The Driver That Shellacked Scott Dixon," and meeting the man in person.
Check out the press release from Honda below, and the sweetness that is the 1986 Civic Si in the gallery above.
