1966 Ford Galaxie 500 2 Door Hardtop Fastback. This is a one owner car, and I have the original title. It was originally a 352/4 barrel with a new one piece aluminum cased C-6 automatic transmission. The owner popped that engine in the 1970's and replaced it with a 289 2BBL from a 1966 Ranchero, so the model year on the block is correct. The car runs and drives, but it is 57 years old, and the owner wasn't able to take care of it for many years before he passed away. It will need a little attention before it can be a daily driving project, but not much. It has a new radiator, new upper and lower radiator hoses, new thermostat, and a freshly rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 carb. I also have some new front brake parts to go with it.
The body is tight, with some very minor rust spots in the quarters that have been filled. The floor is good, but the trunk has a little rust. It had a vinyl top, but the owner removed some time ago and it needs filling and sanding. The car is in primer and about 80% ready for paint. It was originally "Springtime Yellow" with a "Raven Black" top.
The interior is from a 1967 Lincoln Continental and it looks great in the car. The seats are starting to get dry, and need to be cleaned and moisturized, but they still look really good. The front seats are powered, but I haven't had the chance to hook them up and check them. The headliner is great. The door panels are good. It will need new carpet, a new dash pad, and a new package tray, though.
All in all, this car is in good shape, and will make a easy project for someone.
The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction early. I may be able to deliver this car to certain areas for a reasonable fee. Email me and we can discuss this. THANKS!!!

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
2013 Ford F-150 Limited
Mon, 28 Jan 2013The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
