I am listing this beautiful car for a friend of mine. Up for bids is the real deal a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL with a 289 v8 with a C4 automatic transmission, original interior with some cracks
and a failed seam in the back seat. This is a Midwest car from Missouri
till a few years ago. Garaged 85% of its life. New installed parts: windshield, tires, spark plugs, wires, air filter. New parts not yet installed:rear coil springs, rear shocks, distributor cap, rotor. (Have these) Needs: could use a new top-it is still weatherproof, but it isn't winning any shows.Convertible hydraulic piston needs a hose fitting, top is manual raise and lower now.Some bubbling at the lower edge of the trunk deck, doors, and behind the wheels. No exposed rust.Paint still beads water, dual exhaust with cherry bombs, all trim,
badges, and interior trinkets (knobs, buttons, indicator lights, and
handles) are all original and there.This car is awesome! Every where I stop, people comment. The undercarriage is extremely clean and the frame is very solid. A sudden change in employment status is forcing me to sell the car. Don't want to, but gotta pay the bills. In 1966 Ford made less than 6,500 of these cars so therefore this car is rare. So Serious Bidders Only!!!!! Good Luck and Happy Bidding
On Aug-20-14 at 13:50:26 PDT, seller added the following information: Update from above statement In 1966 Ford made less than 6,500 of these cars, but only 6,360 Galaxies 500 XL convertibles were produced by the Ford Motor Company in 1966. |

Ford F-450 claims best-in-class towing, company abandons practice of removing items to boost payload number
Tue, 02 Sep 2014The ongoing heavy-duty truck battle between Ford and Ram is showing no signs of slowing down. The Blue Oval is trying to remove at least one point of contention between the two brands by testing its 2015 F-450 Super Duty using the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard, which Ram also uses. In the new evaluation, the F-450 is rated at a max towing capacity of 31,200 pounds. That's an identical amount as under Ford's own, previous test.
"We leave no doubt with customers that the F-450 pickup truck has best-in-class towing of 31,200 pounds - whether tested using our own internal towing standards or SAE J2807," said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president for Global Product Development, in the company's release.
At the same time, Ford is also changing how it calculates the F-450's payload. Instead of using its minimum curb weight as before, the brand is now using the truck's base curb weight. The revision lowers the pickup's rating to 5,300 pounds, compared to 5,450 pounds previously. The company said in its announcement that the reason for this is "aligning its payload rating practices with other manufacturers to make it easier for customers to compare vehicles." General Motors made a similar switch for its pickups in August.
Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]
Mon, 25 Mar 2013The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
