1972 Ford Galaxie 500 in fairly decent condition for its age, runs smooth and is NOT smoking.  


The car is an unmolested and unmodified original with working factory Air Conditioning.  The only non-original part of the car is the radio and 3rd brake light in the rear window.  This is NOT a show car and is not restored, but is a good looking car for its age that is not filled with bondo or mismatched parts - this can be made into a driver without a tremendous amount of time and cost.  This is a car that you can fix to either drive, restore or you can strip for parts if you choose.

I don't know too much about Fords as far as production or desirability of this car, but if I were to find a similar condition Chevelle or Nova, I would be happy to find it in this good condition.  What I can tell you about the car, erring on the side of caution, so I am presenting as honest as possible and pointing out anything negative that I noted:
  • Car seems to have the original 351W in it with 2BBL carb. with most of everything from the factory still there (some electrical wires aren't connected to anything in particular though);
  • Car runs smooth, but I have not driven it far, other than up and down the road about 1/4 mile;
  • The Air Conditioner surprisingly (at least to me) works;
  • The Interior is in really nice shape, with only the small tears on the drivers side of the front seat as seen in the picture;
  • Car appears to have been repainted or touched up in spots (right front fender has some cracks in the paint);
  • The car looks a lot better in the pictures than it does up close:
  • - the paint is not perfect, it is faded, has discoloration
  • - there are spots of surface rust, there is a a rust hole over the passenger side rear quarter dog leg;
  • - the lower part of the drivers side quarter panel has a rust hole and metal is thin from rust on the back side;
  • - the hood has rust holes in spots and seems to need a new hood;
  •  - there are some small dings and dents in the fenders and quarter panels, but body is overall straight.
  •  - the vinyl top is torn in many places;
  • - the gas tank had a pinhole in it (found when I put some gas in it), so I prepped around the area and epoxyed the hole and surrounding area and the gas stopped leaking, not sure if that is a permanent fix or not, but have done it too both a fuel tank and oil pan on one of my tractors and it has held for several years now).
The car has not been licensed or inspected since 2001, so it has been sitting for some time.  I got the car about 4 years ago and towed it to the farm and it has sat behind the barn since then.  After fixing the above noted gas tank issue, I took the carb. off, cleaned out the nasty gas, cleaned the jets and venturi holes, then put it back on.  I poured some gas in the tank, dumped some transmission fluid down the intake, installed a battery, and started cranking.  I cranked for a while, then sprayed carb. cleaner down the intake.  It fired, sputtered, and then finally ran on its own.  I ran it at idle for about 30 minutes, then drove it around.  The brake are touchy, the rear tires spin easy, and the car is over 5,000lbs, so it is big.  

Feel free to call me or email me with questions.  Car will be for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car sells before the auction is over.  Thanks for looking.

Vaughn Gittin Jr. takes his dog for a drift

Tue, 09 Sep 2014


Vaughn Gittin Jr. spends a great deal of his workday going sideways, but he's usually alone in the endeavor. For a guy that is clearly a dog lover, we imagine that can get a bit lonely.
That won't be a problem for Gittin in this latest video, which features the racer hanging out with his good pal Brody (a dog) and everyone's favorite hot hatch, the Ford Fiesta ST.

Ford will build Hackmobile out of Transit Connect Wagon

Fri, 27 Dec 2013

What you see in the above image is a rendering of the Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon. What is that? It's a "mobile fabrication and hacking unit" that includes tools for metal- and woodworking, 3D and electronics fabrication, a three-axis CNC machine called "The Fabber," a video projector and screen, an air compressor, an 84x48-inch work surface that folds out like a Murphy bed and oh so much more. When not in use, all of the implements fold neatly into the back of Ford's award-winning van.
But perhaps the more important question is why is that? Because Make Magazine held an Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge in conjunction with Ford in which ten teams created were charged with creating "the ultimate Ford Transit Connect Wagon for the do-it-yourself enthusiast." Team Twin Cities Maker won the competition with the Hackmobile, and in addition to winning $10,000, Ford has declared it's actually going to build the thing - which is great, because if they can actually engineer a road-legal Hackmobile Transit Connect Wagon as envisioned, the inevitable A-Team movie reboot might need to think about including it.
Check out the video below for a cheeky walk-through of the Hackmobile, and get all the particulars in the press release below that.

Would a Mustang-based Lincoln look like this?

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Designer Josiah LaCalla has taken a stab at what a Ford Mustang-based Lincoln model might look like with the Continental Mark X1 concept. Make no mistake, Ford's luxury arm has made it abundantly clear that it won't be pursuing any new products outside of volume models, which means a flashy halo grand tourer like the one you see here isn't in the cards. LaColla used the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG as a basis for his creation, which explains the long nose, but we certainly don't mind the idea of a rear-wheel drive Lincoln with a cabin pushed to the aft.
While we're dreaming, there's certainly nothing stopping us from imagining what's under that lengthy hood. We like the idea of the 5.8-liter supercharged V8 from the Shelby GT500 pushing the Mark X1 down the road, but how about something a little more inventive? Something like a high-revving, buttery V12 with enough torque to push the contraption well past 200 miles per hour. Dream a little dream, people.
