1972 Ford Galaxie 500 in fairly decent condition for its age, runs smooth and is NOT smoking.  


The car is an unmolested and unmodified original with working factory Air Conditioning.  The only non-original part of the car is the radio and 3rd brake light in the rear window.  This is NOT a show car and is not restored, but is a good looking car for its age that is not filled with bondo or mismatched parts - this can be made into a driver without a tremendous amount of time and cost.  This is a car that you can fix to either drive, restore or you can strip for parts if you choose.

I don't know too much about Fords as far as production or desirability of this car, but if I were to find a similar condition Chevelle or Nova, I would be happy to find it in this good condition.  What I can tell you about the car, erring on the side of caution, so I am presenting as honest as possible and pointing out anything negative that I noted:
  • Car seems to have the original 351W in it with 2BBL carb. with most of everything from the factory still there (some electrical wires aren't connected to anything in particular though);
  • Car runs smooth, but I have not driven it far, other than up and down the road about 1/4 mile;
  • The Air Conditioner surprisingly (at least to me) works;
  • The Interior is in really nice shape, with only the small tears on the drivers side of the front seat as seen in the picture;
  • Car appears to have been repainted or touched up in spots (right front fender has some cracks in the paint);
  • The car looks a lot better in the pictures than it does up close:
  • - the paint is not perfect, it is faded, has discoloration
  • - there are spots of surface rust, there is a a rust hole over the passenger side rear quarter dog leg;
  • - the lower part of the drivers side quarter panel has a rust hole and metal is thin from rust on the back side;
  • - the hood has rust holes in spots and seems to need a new hood;
  •  - there are some small dings and dents in the fenders and quarter panels, but body is overall straight.
  •  - the vinyl top is torn in many places;
  • - the gas tank had a pinhole in it (found when I put some gas in it), so I prepped around the area and epoxyed the hole and surrounding area and the gas stopped leaking, not sure if that is a permanent fix or not, but have done it too both a fuel tank and oil pan on one of my tractors and it has held for several years now).
The car has not been licensed or inspected since 2001, so it has been sitting for some time.  I got the car about 4 years ago and towed it to the farm and it has sat behind the barn since then.  After fixing the above noted gas tank issue, I took the carb. off, cleaned out the nasty gas, cleaned the jets and venturi holes, then put it back on.  I poured some gas in the tank, dumped some transmission fluid down the intake, installed a battery, and started cranking.  I cranked for a while, then sprayed carb. cleaner down the intake.  It fired, sputtered, and then finally ran on its own.  I ran it at idle for about 30 minutes, then drove it around.  The brake are touchy, the rear tires spin easy, and the car is over 5,000lbs, so it is big.  

Feel free to call me or email me with questions.  Car will be for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells before the auction is over.  Thanks for looking.

Cosworth double-feature is XCar's a drool-worthy look back

Wed, Jun 11 2014

While American fans of Ford performance cars in the '80s and early '90s were loving the 5.0 Mustang, Taurus SHO and, for those who wanted to be a little different, the Merkur XR4Ti, British fans of the Blue Oval were getting their own unique take on speed. The Sierra RS Cosworth (which was similar but not identical to the aforementioned Merkur) and later Escort RS Cosworth were the stuff of dreams with huge wings, hood vents and big power for their time and class. XCar Films aims to find out whether it is little more than nostalgia that makes these classics famous or it really is their legitimate performance. Thanks to its Formula One and racing success, Cosworth was already a well-established performance name in the UK by the time it began selling tuned engines to Ford for the Sierra and Escort. The Sierra RS Cosworth hit the scene in 1986 with a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 204 horsepower and rear-wheel drive. Its huge wing at the back signaled it immediately as something special, and it proved to be a performance powerhouse on and off the track. When it was retired, Ford replaced it with the Escort RS Cosworth that used an upgraded version of the same engine with 217 hp, all-wheel drive and an even bigger rear wing to net yet more racing victories. XCar really gets into the spirit of the time, opening the video with the lo-fi grain of '80s and '90s TV, but to find out whether the Cossies stand up to modern scrutiny, you have to watch the video below. Stay tuned until the end to enjoy them at their best with some vintage motorsports footage. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost flogged and analyzed by Ignition

Mon, 13 Oct 2014

Aside from the way it looks and perhaps its independent rear suspension, the biggest bit of news on the 2015 Mustang may be the inclusion of its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. That blown mill marks the first time since the Mustang SVO of the '80s that a turbo has been fitted under the engine of Ford's pony car.
The Mustang EcoBoost is the subject of the latest episode of Ignition from Motor Trend, giving us a great look at the technical, nitty-gritty side of the turbocharged coupe. Covering it from bow to stern, host Carlos Lago walks us through the boosted Ford before taking to the track for some driving impressions, with particular praise given to the low-end grunt of the 2.3-liter mill.
Check out the full video and then let us know which 2015 Mustang has your interest piqued the most - the EcoBoost four, the 5.0L V8 or the entry-level V6.
