1966 Ford Galaxie Convertible, Bucket Seats, Console No Reserve! 81k Red & White on 2040-cars
Richmond, Illinois, United States
V-8, 289 with automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top (works fine) with zip out rear glass window, Boot, Bucket seats with Center Console, stereo w cassette player was added and original radio is still in the dash. Same owner since 1985. The car has been in storage for the past 15 years and just recently brought out. Family of the owner said they added new spark plugs, wires, distributer cap, vacuum advance and I believe she said the carb was rebuilt (and it does look clean) My Husband took the car and had the old gas drained, tank removed cleaned and reinstalled, cleared the lines and she fired right up! The old Galaxie runs goods but the car sat for 15 years so she still needs a mechanic to inspect everything (fluids, belts, brakes etc.) Before the car is approved for street driving. You know, Safety First! The car had a repaint back in the 80's. So yes the paint and body work should be redone and add or replace some trim if the new owner chooses as the exterior condition does show cosmetics such as dings, pings, scratches, chips, bubbles..etc. Please see pics! I did take close up pictures of cosmetics but it's hard to see. The owner said the white convertible top was new before the car was put into storage. It does not have holes or tares however the rear inside rail pads have come loose which is common and can be retucked or reattached. Underneath the car appears dirty but solid. The rear exhaust pipe or tail pipe will need replacing in time but it doesn't sound bad yet. Interior could also use a cosmetic help (such as split in seats & dash, faded carpet etc. ) if the new owner desires. The trunk weather strip is dry and peeling, doesn't leak, but could use a new one. I'm no expert and I only wiped the 15 yr old dust off this car but just trying to point out things that I see for your consideration that could use cosmetic reconditioning and perhaps I missed something so If you have any questions or need more pics feel free to ask.

Ford Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.
Ken Block proves the new Ford Focus RS can handle that Gymkhana thing
Wed, Feb 4 2015Oh Ford, you've already done a lot for us today, introducing the bound-for-America Focus RS and all. But then you go ahead and add onto this day of good news by handing a prototype of the new all-wheel-drive rocket to drift maestro Ken Block and capture it all on video. Block does his usual, slipping and sliding and drifting the over-315-horsepower hot hatchback through Ford's Cologne, Germany factory, before making a final and surprising appearance at the unveiling of the new RS to European media. It's all as entertaining as it sounds, and gives us plenty of chances to hear the 2.3-liter EcoBoost at full bellow. Related Video:
