For Sale - We just uncovered this unbelievable 1969 429 Ford Galaxy XL Fastback Coupe. It has been stored many years. We have the original 1969 title, build sheet, owners manual and more!! This is a real, big-block muscle car. The car runs and drives good. Look at the pictures and you will see it is clean and rust free. It has a couple of very minor rust spots in the trunk pan and that is all we have found. The engine starts right up and does not smoke or make noise... other than that big-block ford rumble!

In the photos you will see: Original title, temporary owners card, build sheet, window sticker ($4556.01), owner's manual, Ford safety supplement flyer, warranty booklet. 
As you collectors know, these are the money documents that certify this is the real deal. The original color of the car was lime gold so somewhere over the past 45 years they repainted it red. The paint job was a good one because they sprayed the door jams and inside hood and trunk so as to appear factory. Also it appears that someone over time has swapped out the 69 grill for a 70. No evidence of a serious wreck are evident to us so maybe they just like the 70 grille better.

Please keep up the inquires and I will respond as fast as possible. This car is for sale locally and may sell soon. If you want it, let's make a deal. 

Here are some Ford Facts for you....
The Ford Galaxie was a full-size car built from 1959 through 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford’s full-size range from 1959 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. In 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/XL" denoting the higher series. The Galaxie 500/LTD was introduced for 1965 followed by Galaxie 500 7-Litre in 1966. The Galaxie 500 part was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967; however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford’s mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.

The 1969 model was built on a new platform with a 121-inch wheelbase. It was the end for the 427 and 428 engines. Replacing the FE series-based 427 and 428 engines was the new 429 cu in (7.0 L) "ThunderJet" that was introduced in the 1968 Ford Thunderbird; it was part of the new Ford 385 engine series. Power, at 360 hp for the dual-exhaust 4-barrel version, was higher than the 428's 345 hp and lower than the racing-bred 427's final rating of 390 hp; there was also a single-exhaust 2-barrel version with 320 hp available. The dashboard was built as a pod around the driver rather than traditionally extending across both sides. The XL and Galaxie 500 Sportsroof had rear sail panels to simulate a fastback roofline. The rear trim panel below the tail lights was used to distinguish the different trim levels.

I have been asked to decode the VIN :
Digit Usage VIN Decoded -- Year 9 = 1969 / Plant A = Atlanta, GA / Series 60 = Ford Galaxie 500XL 2-door hardtop / Engine N = V8 429-4v / Serial # = 202323

Ford starts GoDrive carsharing service in London

Thu, May 28 2015

Automaker-supported carsharing services like BMW's DriveNow and Daimler's Car2Go are already well established in many cities around the world. Ford is no stranger to this business, either, with collaborations with companies like ZipCar in the US and Flinkster in Germany. Now, The Blue Oval is taking a new step by establishing its own dedicated offering in London called GoDrive. The operation is actually the expansion of an earlier 100-person pilot program and allows the automaker to test out ideas on a small scale. GoDrive is now growing to support 2,000 people in London, and they can share 50 vehicles that are scattered around 20 locations in the city. The fleet is split between Focus Electric models and Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoosts. One of the major selling points for the service is that users can take one-way trips through the city and have a guaranteed parking spot at their destination. Like any high-tech service today, much of the user interface for GoDrive works through a smartphone app that allows users to book cars and pay for trips. The driving is covered under an all-inclusive, pay-by-the-minute model, which includes London's congestion charge, and the first five minutes are free. To entice new users, the company is currently offering a free membership and 20 pounds ($31) in credit to sign up. GoDrive's small size also lets it gather and adjust to customer feedback quickly. For example, users reportedly enjoy getting to try out a vehicle with the latest infotainment and safety features. The company is already working on different pricing plans and parking options for the future, as well. The video below shows a little more the service in action.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.
