The item you are bidding on is a 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Hardtop Coupe. It is equipped with a 6.4l 390 cubic inch V8 powered by a 2bbl carburetor. It has a three speed C6 automatic transmission. It has power steering, power brakes, front disc, rear drum, and air conditioning equipped. The AC does not work, the system holds refrigerant, but the compressor will not power up, and the expansion valve is bad. The heater control panel works somewhat, but blower control is sketchy. The body is fairly straight, with the exception of the left front fender, which has dents that were pulled. Bumpers are bent and have surface rust. Side trim was removed. Door locks are inop. Car runs and drives. It needs carburetor work, as it requires starting fluid first thing in the morning to start, will start fine the rest of the day. All lights work, except hazards, which work intermittently. Previous owner installed new dual exhaust with turbo mufflers, sounds good. Needs a lot of interior work. I have door panels, but left one has major damage. Seats need recovered. Headliner and carpet are missing. There is some fiberglass work done in the trunk. Floor pans need to be replaced. Tires have tread but need to be replaced. The vinykl top is coming off and there is rust underneath. The only place I am aware it has rusted through is below the rear windshield. Dash pad is cracked.
The bottom line: This car runs and drives good, is a lot of fun to drive, gets a lot of looks. I suspect the carburetor is bad, a reman one runs about $125 from rockauto. I would hang on to it if I didn't already have another car I am restoring. I drive it regularly as I don't like to let it sit.
I am making no guarantees on this car. It needs to be restored. It is being sold as is. Period.

Ford says C-Max mpg reduction has hurt sales
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The Ford C-Max is having a rough time. Sales for the five-door hybrid hatchback were down 39.1 percent in March to 2,295 cars, and sales from January through March were down 42.5 percent to 5,566 units. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ford Americas boss Joe Hinrichs places the blame on lowering the model's fuel economy rating.
"We're definitely seeing consideration on C-Max decline over time. We need to reinvest in the product because it's a great car," said Hinrichs to The Detroit News.
The company was hit with bad publicity over the C-Max when owners in multiple states filed class action lawsuits that alleged the cars weren't able to meet the stated fuel economy. Ford eventually re-rated the model from 47 miles per gallon city, highway and combined to 40 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 43 mpg combined. To soften the blow of the change, the automaker sent checks to the owners to make up some of the difference. Initially, Ford claimed that demand remained strong for the hybrid. However, the latest sales figures and Hinrichs' statement seem to show the opposite.
Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang debuts at Lagun Seca
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Saleen used the occasion of the race-fueled Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to announce its new Heritage Collection Lineup. The event was punctuated with the debut of the collection's first member, the 2014 Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang.
Follmer's name will likely sound familiar to fans of American racing in the 1960s and '70s. The driver competed in Formula One with the Shadow team in 1973, ran the Indianapolis 500, was the Can-Am champion in 1972 and drove stock cars in NASCAR's Winston Cup as well. The multi-disciplined driver is now one of three -the other two being Mark Donohue and Swede Savage - with the honor of upcoming, limited edition Saleen-tuned vehicles..
