1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD
1965 Was the first year of the new
Ford Flagship, the Galaxie LTD. This car was sold new in Oregon, where
I purchased it from the 3rd owner in 2005. Overall, this car is in very good
condition, a nice combination of original and light restoration. Built May 4, 1965 at the
Los Angeles Plant Ordered from district 74-Seattle Ordered with the following options. 390 Thunderbird Special V-8, 300 HP Cruise-O-Matic dual range 3 speed automatic Power Steering Tinted Glass Visibility Group
Exterior: The car was repainted some time ago in
its original color of Medium Ivy Gold Metalic, called “Honey Gold” which is
really more on the green side than gold. Was probably painted 15+ years ago,
but is still in very presentable condition. Obviously not in perfect condition, with normal wear and tear associated with a driven car over that many years. The body does not have any rust, or metal damage to speak of at all. There are 2 spots, passenger front
fender and passenger top of door panel that have paint scars. Detail pics available. Antenna is cracked at the base, but still sits nicely. I remove it when driving. The emblem on the grill is pushed in slightly, looks to be easily straightened out by someone who knows what they are doing. All chrome, and trim is original and not restored, and in great condition.
Interior: Almost all original interior. The front bench seat was re done using factory reproduction material to match, and looks fantastic. Back seat is still the original factory installed material,
but is showing some wear after almost 50 years. Some threads have split, but do not show unless really
looking for it. Capet is factory original and in
amazing shape, as is the headliner and door panels. Driver side armrest has wear, others
do not. Dash is free of any cracks and in nice shape, however some shrinkage has occurred on the driver’s pod at the base where it meets the rest of the dash. Nothing bad, just another example of 50
years of wear. The 2nd owner who was a
mechanic, installed some gauges under the dash in a nice wood unit. I like them, but can easily be taken
out as well. Trunk is in fantastic original condition, with its original trunk mat still in great shape. (pics avail) Mechanical: Car runs and drives excellent, with
its original 390 4 barrel and automatic transmission working flawlessly. The second owner again, did some
modifications. It has an MSD electronic ignition, with a Holley 4 barrel carb
with electric choke. Works beautifully. I suspect the 2nd owner may have rebuilt the engine, it just runs that smooth and flawlessly, but this is just speculation on my part, and may or may not be the case. The car has power steering, but manual
brakes, interesting for an LTD of that time. The brakes however are excellent, and
I hardly miss the power assist at all. Also has a period correct cruise control unit mounted below dash, with all hardware still in the engine compartment. I have no idea if that was from the factory or added later, and it is non op currently. Tires are in good shape, however are
somewhat on the older side.
Recent work includes new gaskets/heat
shields on both exhaust manifolds, after manifolds were planed for perfect fit. This car was used in a couple of
different films, being rented to the production companies shooting in San
Francisco. Milk, several years ago, and was
featured in a night drive scene featuring the taillights. Yet to be released- Tim Burton’ Big
Eyes. Was used in a drive by scene in SF. I have enjoyed this car since I bought
it, but have now run out of space having other cars that now demand my
attention. Car is available for inspection in
Walnut Creek for serious buyers only. I am not giving the car away, however the reserve is really reasonable for such a nice car. Email me for More pics or for my phone # to seriously interested parties. |

Chicago Auto Show: The really big reveals from shows past
Fri, Feb 9 2024The 2024 Chicago Auto Show may seem like a shell of its former self, but it still holds the title of the largest consumer auto show in the United States. It didn't get that reputation simply by being efficiently produced or convenient for locals desperate for something to do in February — it earned it over decades of breaking automotive news and powerhouse reveals, eventually earning an informal designation as America's truck show. 2024 may be a down year for Chicago, but let's not forget all of the great things that have come out of it, historically. Here's a look at some of our staff favorites. Bet you didn't know about a few of these cars that were first revealed in the Windy City.  2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 I didn't just pick this one as a former Challenger owner, but instead to illustrate just how many cool Chicago debuts we take for granted. Chrysler often chose its home turf to debut new cars, so the few times its unveilings happened elsewhere tend to stick in our minds. The first Challenger SRT-8 was kind of garbage, if we're being honest. I mean, who buys a race-bred, V8-powered muscle car without a limited-slip differential? But the SRT-8 formula evolved over time into something truly special, and what we saw in Chicago was essentially the early version of the Scat Pack, which was ultimately very successful for Dodge. And who would have thought we'd be here, 15 years later, still talking about that debut? And still loving these big Mopars, flaws and all. — Associate Editor Byron Hurd SHO time in Chicago IÂ’ll always have a certain fondness for the return of the Taurus SHO at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show. Chicago has always leaned truck and van heavy for press reveals, but every now and then, as this list illustrates, something spicy would appear. The return of the SHO as a high-powered successor to the original that ran from 1989-1999 gave enthusiasts hope for FordÂ’s performance business, especially for sedans. With a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 packing 365 hp, all-wheel drive and five-spoke wheels, the SHO was a nice upgrade from the lower-rung Taurus models. It was a bit more sedate than the original SHOÂ’s Yamaha-sourced V6 that teamed with a five-speed manual transmission, but still a worthy response to the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and later the Chevy SS. The SHO — Super High Output — begat things like the Fusion ST and gave Ford solid four-door performance for the rest of the decade.

Listen to the 2016 Shelby GT350R roar
Tue, Jun 2 2015With only 137 examples to be built this year, it may be a while before you get the chance to hear the new Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang clear its throat. Fortunately the boys at the Blue Oval have got that part covered, at least in part, with the release of this video. The short clip is only 25 seconds long, but shows the new track-tuned pony car revving its 5.2-liter V8 heart away on the track. And with output in excess of 500 horses and 400 pound-feet of torque, boy can she sing. This isn't actually the first time we're hearing the new GT350 kick over altogether, but the previous video was taken down shortly after it went up – and that was for the non-R version anyway. This, then, represents the first time to hear the new top-of-the-line pony car doing its thang, and we hope it'll stick around long enough at least for you to get an ear-full. So turn up the speakers, sit back, and hit play to hear the soundtrack that no artificially amplified turbo four will ever manage to replace.
