This is a very cool old Ford Galaxy 500 Fastback. Very rare and desirable manual shift car. Easy to make a 4 speed high performance clone out of this car. 100730 original miles. 302 V-8 3 speed on the column. Power steering. All new manual brake system. A/C that is all there but needs a shot of freon? Heater core is by passed. Must have a leak? Like new Michelin tires. New battery and alternator. Car runs out great. Body is was almost totally rust free. Just 1 little area behind each rear wheel well that I can find. Just some very minor bubbling on right rear quarter panel. See pics of trunk and bottom of right side rear quarter. One recent enamel repaint. Paint is very nice looking but not a show quality base coat clear coat job. Very solid underside with no rust issues. Interior is all original and very nice. Chrome and stainless trim is all in nice original condition.

All in all, this a great running car that you can fly in and drive home. It drives and stops very solid. It gets lots of attention everywhere it goes and would make a great clone of a 4 speed 427 car.

This is not my car. Call Artie at 314-303-5521 for more information BEFORE YOU BID. He will give you honest answers to your questions. He is trusting me with selling his car and I don't want him to be bothered with BS. He cannot give out the reserve amount because I did not give him that amount. He also cannot end the auction so please understand, accept, and respect this. We are going the let the auction run the full 10 days. High bidder that meets the reasonable reserve gets the car. If it does not sell, you can work out whatever deal you and Artie come up with directly with him.

NO TRADES

Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. Artie will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear Arties bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Cash is great if picking it up in person. It is between you and Artie to work out the final payment method.

Call Artie at 314-303-5521 to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. Thanks, Dave

I do not respond to text messages

One more time, NO TRADES, Please do not ask. If you do not know, understand, and accept what "no trades" means, then you surely do not have a vehicle that I would be interested in.

I do not respond to low ball offers, text messages, or take offers over the phone. If you want to make an offer, please do so through ebay email. Include your name and contact info. If I feel you are a serious buyer, I will contact you back. If you do not hear back from me, then my vehicle must be out of your price range. Once my vehicle hits it's reserve price, I will not end the auction.

I do not give out my reserve price. Too many knuckleheads out there that like to play games with bidding just under the reserve amount with no intention of actually buying the vehicle. Makes it look like schill bidding is going on.

If you have a feed back rating less that 100% or less than 10 feedbacks, you might want to check with me before bidding. I will sometimes block or cancel bids if I get a bad feeling for the bidder. Non-paying winners are a real problem for sellers and it is hard to get seller fees refunded from Ebay in a timely manner, if at all.

For you new members, please don't bid unless you know and accept how ebay works and understand that you are legally committing to purchase if you bid. Not following through with a purchase after winning an auction for a new member can result in ebay canceling your membership.

Thanks to all, good luck with your bidding, and have a great day, Dave 314-732-592five

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Ford adding stop-start to all major model lines

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

Ford has gone all-in on its efforts to offer most of its new vehicles with a fuel-efficient EcoBoost engine, but the automaker is reportedly preparing to take another big step toward improving vehicle efficiency. Automotive News is reporting that Ford will soon expand the availability of start-stop technology, which was first offered - presumably the first non-hybrid vehicle, that is - on the 2013 Fusion (equipped with the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine) as a $295 option.
The benefit of start-stop is reduced fuel consumption as it shuts the engine off at long stops, and AN quotes Ford as saying that drivers can save more than $1,000 on fuel costs over five years. Despite this, the option hasn't been popular on the Fusion thus far, but it could be more beneficial on bigger vehicles like the F-150. Ford also said that the next-gen Edge, which was previewed in concept form at the LA Auto Show, will be equipped with auto start-stop to help make the EcoBoost engines even more efficient.

Ford recalling nearly 24,000 Focus EV and C-Max models over door chime

Fri, 04 Oct 2013

Ford will be voluntarily recalling 23,830 Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid and Energi models equipped with push-button ignition, according to The Detroit News. Why? Because the cars don't make a noise when the driver's door is open, and are therefore in violation of federal regulations. It's not as silly as Honda's badging recall that isn't a recall, but it's close.
Actually, that's not exactly fair. The chime is supposed to come on when the driver's door is open, as it reminds drivers not to leave their cars on or leave key fobs in the car, an easy thing to forget when the cars in question make virtually no noise at idle and do not require keys in ignitions.
The recall, which Ford is conducting voluntarily, covers 2012 and 2013 Focus Electric hatchbacks and 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Energi models. The overwhelming majority, around 22,900 units, were sold in the US, while the remaining 900 units are in Canada. How many of each model are covered in the recall is not immediately clear.
