Outstanding convertible very well cared for over many years.  Body is laser straight, paint excellent, interior superb.  All original with 1 exterior repaint many years ago.  Less than 80,000 actual miles. 

Paint:  excellent with very few flaws.  Body panels are not only straight, but all body lines are at factory settings and doors, trunk and hood all open and close like a brand new car.

Interior:  Unbelievably well preserved all original interior.  All seams, accents, and vinyl and plastic parts are like new.  Vinyl is supple.  Dash is not cracked or warped.  Carpet is excellent but is faded in a few areas.   Dye it and it will look like new.  There is no musty smell. 

Engine:  Runs excellent.  Does not knock, miss or burn any oil.  Drive anywhere in confidence.  I took it on a 2,000 plus mile vacation with no issues.  Currently has an exhaust manifold leak.

Top:  Completely serviceable but has some dark staining starting to show.  Another item that can be dyed and it will look like new.  Has perfect glass rear window.  Top boot is original, fits perfectly and is also still in excellent condition.  Top is aligned correctly and goes up and down fast.

Misc:  Tires are excellent, maybe 90% of tread left.  Whitewalls.  Factory spinner hubcaps are excellent. Stainless skirts are like new.  I added aftermarket cruise control & it works like it should. AM radio works fine, as do wipers and all other accessories except clock.  Glass is all excellent.  Although I have owned this car for about 12 years or so, I have never waxed it and never armoralled the vinyl.  I just keep it clean and dry.

Rust:  None except surface rust on a few underside areas where there is no undercoating.

I looked for a top-tier 65 Galaxie 500 XL for years before I bought this one and it has not disappointed me.  It will not disappoint you either.  Call Mike 719-660-5504 for any additional details.

As always, no warranty is expressed or implied.  International bidders welcome.  Buyer is responsible for shipping.  I will make car available for pickup.

I will be happy to provide any additional photos you might want.

Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

The 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.

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.

More evidence GT500-replacement will be named GT350

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

During the recent unveiling of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we saw the car in both V6 and GT form, but we'll have to wait a little bit longer to see the successor to the Shelby GT500. In the meantime, though, it looks like SVTPerformance.com has confirmed reports that this high-performance model will bring the Shelby GT350 name back to Ford.
According to the forum post, a user found the Shelby GT350 name on a Ford promo website listing its 2015 lineup. The Shelby GT350 name was first used on a Mustang back in 1965, and most recently it has been a model created for customers as a post-title purchase by Shelby American. As for that car, Shelby confirmed earlier in the year that its GT350 would be phased out at the end of this month.
The million-dollar question for Mustang and Shelby enthusiasts is when we'll see next factory Shelby GT350. Last we heard it was planned for a debut at the New York Auto Show. We've included our previous spy shots of this hi-po, sixth-gen Mustang, and we've also captured it on spy video showing off its exhaust note.
