1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL


Up for sale is a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. This car is incredibly rare, not only because of the color combination, but also because it is a highly original vehicle. This car has only been owned by one family since new, and was very well taken care of. 


Exterior


-The Lime Gold color paint is the original color, but was repainted once, many years ago. It shows very well, and there are no major scratches or chips.

-The black vinyl top is original. It has some very light scuffs and a few small holes, but is in decent shape. It has the glass rear window.

-The power top mechanism works like new.

-All of the lights work, and the front headlight bucket turns around just as it should.

-The wheels are original, and are in excellent shape. The tires have lots of tread left.

-The brightwork is all original and in great condition, as is all of the chrome on the car. 

-The panels on this car are very straight, and are all original.

-This Galaxie is incredibly solid. The trunk, floorboards, frame, and everything is as solid as could be. There are no rust issues whatsoever anywhere on the car (look at the door jambs).

-Everything on this car is original, except for one repaint.


Interior


-The white interior is original, and is in excellent shape. There are no tears or stains.

-The original black carpet great shape.

-The radio and 8-track player work, as well as all of the gauges.

-The original owner’s manual is present, along with several original documents that came with the car, and many maintenance records.

-The power windows work, as does the antenna.

-The headliner is very tight, and the top is well-insulated.

-The original white convertible top boot is in excellent shape.

-The courtesy lights work, as do the dash lights.

-This convertible is air conditioned (brand new pump). The climate control works well. I have yet to put the R12 in it. Once it is in the car, it will work great.


Drivetrain


-The original 390 ci (with a 2 bbl carb) engine has only 35k original miles on it. The engine has never been out of the car. That is 35k miles from the factory!

-The engine, factory rated at 265 horsepower, pulls strong.

-The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and goes in and out of gear as it should.

-The power steering and power brakes work well, and are very responsive.

-The suspension is original, and the car rides and drives like a dream.

-The vin is 9W61Y186758.


This car is an incredible find, and a very high quality survivor.  There were only 6,910 convertibles produced in 1969. The number of original, Lime Gold on White, 390 ci, air conditioned models that are still on the road today is very, very low. Do not miss out on this one. Finding another one like it would be a very tough task. Feel free to ask any questions through eBay, or call Dave at (586) 945-4266. More pictures are available upon request. All reasonable offers will be considered. Thanks!

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.

Fri, Mar 31 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. They start off with what it was like to be at the reveal for the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 out in Las Vegas. From there, they explore news of the 2024 Acura Integra Type S being revealed to have 5 more horsepower than the Civic Type R. And to round out the news section, there's an Explorer EV out, but it's only for Europe. After that, the two discuss the cars they've been driving, including the 2023 BMW XM, VW Jetta Sport with a manual transmission, our long-term Toyota Sienna minivan and what it was like to charge our long-term Kia EV6 on a Tesla Supercharger. Lastly, the pair spend some money to help a listener buy a car for their daughter who is just starting to drive.

Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?

Sat, 13 Apr 2013

This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
