1969 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. 23,450 miles - Excellent condition all original and un-restored. A classic muscle car. 1969 was the last year the Galaxie convertible was manufactured. Only 6,910 were produced, and few survive. I am the third owner and can provide the ownership history. I bought the car 2 years ago when it had 17,500 miles on it. There is no rust. This car has always been stored indoors in climate controlled storage. Owners have always been way over 40+ years of age.
Original numbers matching V-8 390 ci engine with automatic transmission. Does not consume or leak any oil The electric top looks and operates perfectly like it was new. It is hard to believe it is 45 years old. The removable cover has a small tear Factory air conditioning is functional but is not charged up. The heater and blowers work fine The interior is all original and looks immaculate. People do not believe it is original. Radio and all interior and exterior lights and signals work. Cigarette lighter and clock do not have power, but I have not done troubleshooting I replaced the wheel seals and the rear pinion gear seals due to evidence of leakage and a set of deteriorated control arm bushings The body is rust free. There is a golf ball size dent on the top of the right front fender from where I dropped a ladder on it. Other than that the body is dent free. The paint has a few scuffs and dings here and there. The chrome is all good except a blemish over the right exhaust pipe. If the car was repainted and the rear bumper re-chromed, this car would win local shows. The car starts and runs smooth and quiet, and drives smooth and steady as you would expect a car with this low mileage. This is a rare example of a classic 60s era big block convertible in original unrusted condition. Please contact me and I can answer questions or provide more photos |

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.
Ford files trademark for 'EcoBeast' moniker
Mon, Dec 29 2014Ford has done some performance stuff with its EcoBoost line of vehicles, most notably with its Focus and Fiesta ST, the new, turbocharged Mustang and the luke-warm Taurus SHO and F-150 Tremor, but it's kind of avoided going wholly bonkers. That could be set to change quite soon, judging by a trademark filing with Uncle Sam. Ford has registered the name EcoBeast with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, listing it as "automobiles and automobile engines," according to the team at Motorlix, which discovered the filing. As always, it bears mentioning that companies are constantly filing trademarks, even if a good or service never emerges with said name. We agree with Motorlix, though – it seems highly unlikely Ford is going to just let this name languish. What vehicle or engine will wear this new badge is the real question. We're leaning towards something F-150 related, based on our last round of spy photos of the new SVT Raptor, although it's impossible to say for certain what the Blue Oval has planned. Here's hoping we find out in just a few weeks when Ford brings basically all of its performance merchandise to the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. Until then, let us know what you think Ford is planning with the EcoBeast.
Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA
Tue, 29 Oct 2013With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
