Up for auction is my beautiful 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD convertible. The 1965 Galaxie was an all-new design, featuring vertically stacked headlights in what was becoming the fashionable style in a car somewhat taller and bulkier than previous year's.  
Suspension was dramatically redesigned.  Replacing the former leaf-spring rear suspension was the new three-link system, featuring all coils. The ride improved, and handling got a boost, and this system was used for NASCAR in the full-size class. 
 
                                                                                                                                              .
The car is all original, and all emblems are intact. Weight is 3,615 pounds. 
 
This Galaxie 500 has a powerful 289 , V-8 (4.7 litre ) engine. It stars right up, and idles smoothly. It is 2-Door , 3-speed automatic, with dual exhaust. It features a 2-way key system.  
 
The body, and paint are in very good shape. You will find some minor scratches scattered throughout, and a few shallow dings ( just what you would expect from a car this old)  It had a paint job in the past, and an undercoating too. The trunk is very clean with no rust. Included is the original spare tire, jack, and fire extinguisher .  
There is a spot of rust about 2 inches in diameter  through the backseat passenger side quarter floor panel.  Please see the photo.
 
The interior is in very good shape. The vinyl seats shine like new. The are no rips or tears on the seats, and the carpet is in great condition, and comes with floor mats.  
 
The dash is in great condition. There is a tear located on the driver's side vinyl door panel at the top. It should be easy to replace. (Please see the photo)   
 
Has all the seat belts. All windows are intact, and work perfectly. The vinyl convertible top, and rear window, are in beautiful shape- no tears throughout. Convertible Top goes up and down perfectly,  using  the "Top" nob located on the dash. Comes with original vinyl convertible well-liner. 
 
Electrically everything is in perfect working order, except the clock, and lighter. The radio isn't hooked up.  
 
The car sells as is. Buyer pays total shipping costs.
 
Thanks for bidding, and enjoy this Classic beauty!

2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.

A tribute to William Clay Ford

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
