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 Focus ST checks into Jay Leno's Garage
Mon, 23 Sep 2013In a change of pace from the high-end vehicles that often appear in Jay Leno's Garage, Ford sends its hottest hatchback (in the US, at least), the 252-horsepower Focus ST, to be featured on Leno's show. Accompanying the five-door hatch is its chief engineer, Jamal Hameedi.
Riding on stylish 18-inch wheels with summer tires and with a spoiler that doubles as a lunch tray, Hameedi and Leno walk us through the finer points of what makes the ST special, which also includes bigger brakes, torque vectoring, a manual transmission and, of course, 252 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque from the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which is made possible by 21 psi of turbocharged boost.
Watch the video below to see what Leno thinks of the global Focus ST.

GM, Ford, FCA and the UAW form joint coronavirus task force
Mon, Mar 16 2020General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler are forming a coronavirus task force along with the United Auto Workers union to improve protections for their employees and limit the spread of the highly contagious virus. The task force, which would be focusing on areas including vehicle production plans, is being headed by UAW President Rory Gamble, GM Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim Hackett, Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford and FCA CEO Michael Manley, the parties said in a joint statement on Sunday. Though automakers typically schedule plant staffing to allow for a certain proportion of absent workers, according to industry consultants, if the outbreak causes higher levels due to infection or workers staying home to care for children whose schools are closed, that could lead to reduced production or in extreme cases shutdowns. Production at an FCA assembly plant in Canada was halted for 24 hours after employees there refused to work on Thursday over fears of an employee being possibly exposed to the coronavirus. Separately on Thursday, the Italian-American automaker said that one of its employees had tested positive for COVID-19, a respiratory disease caused by the new coronavirus, at its transmission plant in Indiana. The plant, however, remained open. "This is a fluid and unprecedented situation, and the task force will move quickly to build on the wide-ranging preventive measures we have put in place," the CEOs of the three companies said in the statement. The task force would also be focusing on aspects such as health and safety education, health screening, food service at the automakers' locations.
