1966 Ford Ltd Galaxie on 2040-cars
Windsor, Colorado, United States
This LTD is a true gem a
real survivor for sure. I found it at an estate sale locally,and bought
it on the spot. I purchased it from the original owner an old gentleman
who was downsizing his estate in general, the car has
49,000 documented original miles on it. You see cars advertised with low miles, the miles on this car are actual not turned over. He saved all the service records
from 66 , it was purchased from a local
dealer here in CO and lived its entire life in the garage I have the
thank you letter from the dealership and the hard plastic dealer service
card still in its case. This car has the 390 power plant and runs
perfect, turn key and purs, also stops and shifts smoothly, the car has all the options of the day ,rear
heat and air as well. Its the original Wimbledon white with a burgundy
interior, there is a slightly worn area on the drivers side rear seat other than that the interior is beautiful along with the factory floor mats that kept the carpet so nice, headliner and rear package area are just beautiful, all the bells and whistles work, engine cold warning light and flashing red parking brake reminder. Has the original spare and jack, I just put new tires on it
,replaced the battery and starter along with a complete tuneup with all
the fluids changed,also a new heater core. The wheels still had the paper stickers on the backs
with the ford part numbers, it rides like a magic carpet smooth and
quiet ,typical of the higher end 60s luxury cars,but still retains a
sportier look. The chrome and stainless trim are impeccable,right down to the chrome gas door trim, the grill
is highly sought after and is immaculate. Everything is still factory
original and everything works,horn, heater, AC,cigarette lighter. There is a slight crease in the passenger
side door and a few scratches on that side also a piece of wheelhouse
trim is missing same side . Previous owner had
trouble parking it towards the last of his driving days. All the glass
and rubber seals are perfect and the doors hood and trunk shut with
that firm solid feel, windows roll up and down perfectly. The car is certainly not 100% show car however it is in fantastic original condition for a 47 year old vehicle, feels like it was driven off the lot.
Overall its a beautiful example of 60s classic Ford, solid powerful and comfortable, this is a turn key start up and go car ,drives anywhere with absolutely no issues other than the constant thumbs up from others. I have to ask that if you make an offer or intend on purchasing the car please follow through and be sincere , alot goes into an auction so lets not waste each others time. I will require a $1000.00 non refundable pay pal deposit at the close of the auction and the remainder within 5 days before the car is released .Please ask any and all questions BEFORE making an offer, after the fact is not the time, I will be happy to answer all, Thanks . |

NHTSA closes investigations into Ford Taurus, Hyundai Santa Fe
Wed, 03 Jul 2013Ford and Hyundai are out from under the scrutinizing eyes of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after the government agency said it was closing investigations against both automakers over vehicle safety concerns.
Ford was being investigated for reported damaged speed control cables on Ford Taurus (shown above) and Mercury Sable models, both built between 2000 and 2003. Vehicles with the company's Duratec engines allegedly failed to allow owners to brake as expected. Owners lodged 100 complaints and were involved in five accidents, according to NHTSA records. The American automaker responded to the reports, and on June 21 of this year, said that it would inspect and repair all affected vehicles, regardless of the mileage.
Hyundai was under investigation for a reported loose fastener on the steering shaft of its 2011 Santa Fe (shown in the gallery below). After NHTSA launched its inquiry, the Korean automaker responded with its own investigation that yielded four affected vehicles. Following the inspection of 680 vehicles at its assembly plant, Hyundai said the issue was due to employee error and that no further defects have been found.
Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track
Sun, 10 Mar 2013We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
This 1969 Ford F-100 has a Cadillac CTS-V engine lurking underhood
Fri, Jan 30 2015Something always feels just a little taboo when someone builds a custom and then slots in a powertrain from a rival automaker. That's exactly the case with this modded 1969 Ford F-100 boasting a highly tuned LSA supercharged V8 like from the second-gen Cadillac CTS-V. However, with a claimed 800 horsepower on tap thanks in part to running an estimated 20 pounds of boost, it's easy to get over any bad feelings. Built by Tommy Pike Customs in South Carolina, the truck tries to keep the exterior looking somewhat stock. Although, the jade green and satin gold paint, Quaker State logo, lowered suspension and black wheels immediately suggest something is up. Once the F-100 starts up with its menacing growl, absolutely any doubts of this beast being unaltered are immediately gone. Not so obvious are some tweaks to actually help put all that power down, including disc brakes and independent suspension setups at the front and rear. The video gives some glimpses at a few of Pike's other creations, but the real star here is definitely his mean, green Ford.
