V-8, 289 with automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, power convertible top (works fine) with zip out rear glass window, Boot, Bucket seats with Center Console, stereo w cassette player was added and original radio is still in the dash. Same owner since 1985. The car has been in storage for the past 15 years and just recently brought out. Family of the owner said they added new spark plugs, wires, distributer cap, vacuum advance and I believe she said the carb was rebuilt (and it does look clean) My Husband took the car and had the old gas drained, tank removed cleaned and reinstalled, cleared the lines and she fired right up! The old Galaxie runs goods but the car sat for 15 years so she still needs a mechanic to inspect everything (fluids, belts, brakes etc.) Before the car is approved for street driving. You know, Safety First! The car had a repaint back in the 80's. So yes the paint and body work should be redone and add or replace some trim if the new owner chooses as the exterior condition does show cosmetics such as dings, pings, scratches, chips, bubbles..etc. Please see pics! I did take close up pictures of cosmetics but it's hard to see. The owner said the white convertible top was new before the car was put into storage. It does not have holes or tares however the rear inside rail pads have come loose which is common and can be retucked or reattached. Underneath the car appears dirty but solid. The rear exhaust pipe or tail pipe will need replacing in time but it doesn't sound bad yet. Interior could also use a cosmetic help (such as split in seats & dash, faded carpet etc. ) if the new owner desires. The trunk weather strip is dry and peeling, doesn't leak, but could use a new one. I'm no expert and I only wiped the 15 yr old dust off this car but just trying to point out things that I see for your consideration that could use cosmetic reconditioning and perhaps I missed something so If you have any questions or need more pics feel free to ask.

Ford recalling 433k cars for engines that don't shut off
Thu, Jul 2 2015Ford Motor Company has announced an enormous recall affecting 433,000 vehicles built between April 2014 and June 2015. There's a problem with the body control module in the affected vehicles that can prevent them from turning off, even if the key is removed from the ignition or stop/start button has been pressed. Individual models include the Focus and C-Max, both built at the Michigan Assembly Plant. The defective Foci were built between June 17, 2014 and June 12, 2015, while the C-Maxes were built between April 22, 2014 and June 12, 2015. Also affected are model year 2015 Escape CUVs, built at the Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, between April 1, 2014 and June 12, 2015. As is usually the case, the overwhelming majority of vehicles – 374,381 – are registered in the United States, while the 52,180 are in Canada and 5,135 are in Mexico. The Blue Oval is not aware of any injuries or accidents due to this defect. Individual consumers, meanwhile, will need to report into dealers to have the body control module's software updated. Scroll down for the brief press release from Ford.

Affected vehicles include certain 2015 Focus vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from June 17, 2014, through June 12, 2015; certain 2015 C-MAX vehicles built at Michigan Assembly Plant from April 22, 2014, through June 12, 2015; and certain 2015 Escape vehicles built at Louisville Assembly Plant from April 1, 2014, through June 12, 2015.

Dealers will update the body control module software at no cost to the customer.
Ford Mondeo Hybrid could beat unloved diesels in Europe
Wed, Feb 11 2015Predicting changes in the European auto market isn't easy, and Ford is hedging its bets there with the introduction of the Mondeo Hybrid. The Blue Oval has no expectation of the electrified version of the sedan being a rollicking sales success, but the model is a fuel-efficient alternative in case the recent backlash against diesel turns into an outright ban somewhere. This is the first time Ford is selling a hybrid version of the Mondeo (a cousin to the Fusion in the US) in Europe. The vehicle pairs a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle four-cylinder with a 1.4-kWh battery pack to make a total of 185 horsepower and emit 99 grams per kilometer of CO2. The Blue Oval expects to sell around 100,000 units of all versions of the sedan annually there, according to Automotive News Europe. However, fewer than 5,000 of those are predicted to be the gas-electric model. "Legislation around Europe is so different it's very difficult to predict," Roelant de Waard, Ford of Europe sales boss, said to ANE. "If you're betting only on one horse you might be lucky, but you also may be very unlucky." Ford is probably smart to have alternatives ready, and it also already offers the Focus Electric and hybrid C-Max there. Governments in Europe are rapidly turning against diesel, especially in France. The country considered offering buyers 10,000 euros ($11,300) if they trade in an old oil-burner on a new electric vehicle, and the prime minister calls backing the fuel for so long a mistake. The UK's Labour Party is making similar declarations. News Source: Automotive News Europe - sub. req.Image Credit: Ford Government/Legal Green Ford Emissions Green Driving Diesel Vehicles Hybrid Sedan
