Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The body of this 48 year old vehicle is in good condition with only minor surface rust. The existing original chrome will need a good cleaning and polish. The two chrome rocker moldings are missing and could not be found in the storage building. It appears that the vehicle has been repainted from white to the blue color it now sports, this will need a repaint at some point in time but is useable as-is. The interior carpeting needs a thorough cleaning and re-dye. The leather bench seats (front and back) have one split in the stitching but the leather is otherwise in good condition. The door panels and head liner are in fair condition. The convertible top is in good condition, but needs some attention. The only item that seems not to be original are the rims and radio. Please keep in mind that this is a 48 year old car."
The vehicle is a true barn find. This 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible sports a manual transmission with three on the tree. It is a 48 year old vehicle pretty much unmolested. The only items that were changed would be the rims on the car and the radio. The Rims are a turbine style wheel. The previous owner installed a cassette player in place of the radio.
The vehicle and it's 289 CI V8 engine starts, runs, drives and tracks down the road very nice. The three speed operates cleanly with no grinding as the clutch is tight and sound. The motor does not smoke or sputter.
The car sports blue paint which is somewhat faded but it is drivable in this condition. It appears that the vehicle has had one repaint from the original white. There is minor surface rust on the vehicle's body but absolutely NO RUST THROUGH.
All chrome with the exception of the rocker chrome is in place and in pretty nice condition. This could use a good cleaning and buffing.
All windows operate as designed with the glass being in excellent condition. The doors, deck lid and hood open and close tight with proper reveals. Weather-stripping on the doors needs replaced.
The convertible top is electronic and operates flawlessly storing neatly with a boot to cover the storage area. The top could use some repairs on the seams as the stitching has come undone in two spots. The top is very salvageable. The back glass in the convertible top is PPG labeled and is excellent.
The electronic on the vehicle work including the interior lighting, as does the heat and defrost. The interior is in good condition with black leather seating. Again, one of the seam stitching has come undone but the leather is in great condition and pliable and can be easily repaired.
The black carpeting needs a good cleaning and maybe a re-dye. There are cracks in the dash and the steering wheel and is showing its age. The dash may need replaced but the steering wheel is definitely useable. All knobs and handles are in place and original.
The floor boards are solid as is the frame and trunk pan. The trunk pan does have surface rust. There is some rust through at the panel along the lip of the trunk pan. All locks on the vehicle operate with no issues. This is a great vehicle to tool around in with the top down. And if you chose to restore the car it won't take long as overall the car is in great condition.
I have posted this car for a family member. It is not owned by me. This car has a clear Pennsylvania title.
I have detailed the car as I see it and attempted to describe it with its attributes and flaws. Please stop by and see this car in person.
Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Ford shareholders happy as the Blue Oval stays in the black
Fri, May 15 2015Ford posted slightly falling global sales and revenue in its first-quarter financial announcement, but pre-tax profits and operating margins were up. Apparently, that was plenty to keep shareholders happy, though. The Blue Oval's recent investor meeting in Delaware lasted less than an hour, and a vote on the approval of the board passed by over 93 percent. Ford CEO Mark Fields continued to predict a strong year financially and increasing profits, according to the Detroit Free Press. The growth comes thanks in large part to the company's 24 global vehicle launches last year and 15 more this year. The likelihood of significant profits from the strong-selling 2015 F-150 should be especially lucrative, too. In the Q1 announcement, the Blue Oval forecast pre-tax profits between $8.5 billion and $9.5 billion for 2015. During the meeting, Fields said that the next 15 years of changes in the industry represent the "ultimate opportunity as a company. As big as when Henry Ford put the world on wheels more than 100 years ago," according to the Free Press. Investments like the expanded technology center in Silicon Valley should push that work along.

2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility shows up for duty in Chicago
Fri, Feb 13 2015The latest upgrade for the 2016 Ford Police Interceptor Utility is all set to patrol the Windy City's streets with its debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show. On the outside, the revised Ford police vehicle looks basically the same as the recently refreshed Explorer with a new grille and redesigned headlights. Inside, there's a restyled steering wheel and center console. Unlike the civilian model, though, the PI Utility gets heavy-duty brakes, a more robust cooling system, reinforced subframe mounts and larger diameter suspension springs for more strength. Under the hood, police forces get to choose between either a 3.7-liter V6 with 304 horsepower and 279 pound-feet of torque or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of twist. Regardless of powertrain, these 'utes feature a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The transmission includes the awesome-sounding Pursuit Mode feature that switches over to more aggressive shifts when it detects harder driving to properly stop crime. Related Video:
