Up for sale 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible. My youngest son and I purchased this car 6 years ago from a 94 year old widow in Carey, Ohio. It was in her garage and had been sitting many years and did not run. Her husband bought the car over 35 years ago to fix up. The story goes from his widow was shortly after he purchased the car he had it repainted in the original black color. The car was brought home from the paint shop and put up on blocks in the garage. Before he could proceed with finishing the car he became ill and passed away. My son and I wanted a project to do together so we purchased the car here on ebay. The car was dirty but complete except the original canvas top was in tatters. After we trailered the car home we did a thorough inspection. We removed what was left of the old carpet and were pleasantly surprised to see the floor pans were solid. We cleaned them and painted them with Rustoleum. Underneath the car was heavily undercoated when new. The frame is very nice and solid. The trunk pan is also. We did find a small amount of rust under the right taillight inside the trunk and on the left front inner fender under where the windshield washer bag goes. The rest of the car is very nice. The 35 year old paint was not perfect but too nice to re-do again. The old paint was wet sanded and buffed to a mirror finish. There are a few small paint chips and scratches but no dings or dents in the paint. We also did the following:
Installed all new brakes including all new drums and power brake booster. Installed a new quiet dual exhaust system. Installed 5 new tires. Did a valve job on the heads and planed the exhaust manifolds. New White convertible top with an all new weatherstrip kit. The top frame was cleaned and painted. New Red top boot and well liner. New carpet and new door panels. NOS clock, steering wheel, shift lever, turn signal lever, shifter indicator, outside door handles, Galaxie 500 fender emblems, inside rear view mirror, antenna, painted headlight bezels, horn ring assembly with emblem NORS hood and trunk letters, hood and trunk emblems, outside mirrors, taillight lenses, headlight door seals, trunk seal, trunk mat set, sunvisor pivots, fuel tank sending unit, inside armrests, New tinted windshield,New heater core and New heater resistor for the blower motor speeds New Holley 4BBL carburetor New battery and tune up, new hoses and belts, radiator removed and cleaned and checked Fuel tank removed, cleaned and sealed New power steering hoses New wiper blades Rechromed front and rear bumpers, all of the inside windshield trim, taillight frames, headlight frames, armrest bases Instrument cluster housing rechromed and painted the correct red and black Transmission completely rebuilt. The seat covers are ok but could use new ones. The car starts right up and the blue cold light comes on. The top works perfectly. There are no leaks anywhere on this car. The car is a pleasure to drive. Everything on this car works even the back up lights. My son and I have enjoyed this car very much but it is time to turn it over to a new owner. I have tried to describe everything I could think of. This is a very nice Galaxie convertible with a nice color combination. Thanks for your interest. |

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares
Fri, 28 Jun 2013Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.
Transit Courier completes Ford's new commercial van line, will we get it?
Sat, 13 Apr 2013This week Ford rolled out the 2014 Transit Courier, the fourth addition to its Transit range. Ford says its the first time for the nameplate in the compact van segment.
"Ford has now completely transformed its commercial vehicle line-up, with four all-new, class-leading Transits for European customers," said Barb Samardzich, vice president of product development for Ford Europe. "With the all-new Transit range, we expect sales to grow to 400,000 units per year by 2016, well over 50 percent more than we sell today."
When the Courier goes on sale in the Spring of 2014, it will offer more than 1,400 pounds of payload capacity, multiple mounting points for racks or other framework and a rear cargo area that can carry items 5.3 feet-long. An optional folding passenger seat boosts the cargo length to 8.5 feet.
