Ford Galaxie 500 Xl Convertible 1967 on 2040-cars
Schenectady, New York, United States
|
I have owned this car since 2/2011. It has been in my garage when not in use. It is a "25 footer". It looks great from 25 ft. away. It is not a show car. It is a solid runner , on the road and NYS inspected. The 390 motor is powerful and solid, no lifter noise or anything like that. The transmission shifts fine. The interior is newer and in great shape. The top is also newer but the plastic window zipper is not compatible with the top. The installation was done prior to my ownership. The power top mechanics work well. In 3 years of ownership I have had the following items replaced; power brake booster, wiper motor, battery,starter, turn signal lever, flasher,rear brake shoes & drums, axle & bearing seals, u joint.
The tires still have new tire nubbins on them. The floor pans will need to be replaced. I took the car to 2 body shops and they stated that the frame will need work in 3-5 years. There are a few quarter size holes the the frame but it is still solid. All gauges work except the clock & notice there is no radio or antenna. I have no way of knowing what the real mileage of the car is. The car is parked with a battery tender device and always starts right up. When the tender is not in use the battery would be dead after a few weeks so there is leakage somewhere in this almost 50 yr. old car. There is no jack or spare but I think i have a rim and tire they will be included with the sale. Also included is a full size cloth car cover. Please do not waste our time with low-ball offers. I travel a great deal with my work & yet will help any serious prospective buyers questions etc The buyer is fully responsible for pick up. If you want to use 1 of those inspection services I will try to accommodate. Good luck bidding!! |

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
Ford books $1.2B profit in second quarter on strength of trucks
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rolling along nicely, with a positive second-quarter sales report and a $2.3 billion profit in North America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based manufacturer captured $1.2 billion globally from April to June, with a $177 million profit in Asia. Even in Europe, the land of doom and gloom for automakers not named Mazda, Ford saw some success as it lowered its expected full-year loss from $2 billion to $1.8 billion. The company lost $348 million in Europe during the second quarter, which, believe it or not, represents a $56-million improvement over 2012.
According to the report on CNBC, Ford enjoyed a three-percent increase in pre-market trading thanks to the news. The strong demand for the F-150 propelled growth in the US market, while Ford's 47-percent increase in Asian sales can be attributed to the new EcoSport crossover and Kuga (Ford Escape in the US) arriving in the somewhat fragile Chinese market.
Pre-tax profits for Ford are expected to be in the neighborhood of $8 billion by the end of the year, with sales the US, Europe, and China all looking up. The company also shifted $4.78 billion of asset-backed debt in the form of bonds, according to a report by Bloomberg. This move came amidst rumors of the Federal Reserve cutting back on its $85-billion-per-month bond purchases. Ford wasn't alone among automakers looking to sell off debt, though, as Mercedes-Benz and Nissan shifted around $1 billion each in bonds relating to auto loans.
Ford tells Congress it collects and protects some driver data
Fri, 14 Feb 2014Last month Ford's Jim Farley made waves at the CES when it was reported he told show attendees, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone." Farley and Ford later partially retracted and clarified that statement.
Spurred by a desire for further transparency on data collection policies, Ford representatives answered questions from Congress, specifically Senator Al Franken (D-Minn.), about driver privacy.
The Detroit News reports that Ford told Congress it does collect some vehicle location data in an effort to "troubleshoot and improve our products" on behalf of the driver. Ford went on to say that it only collects limited data after receiving permission from owners.
