I am selling my 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD Postless Fastback Coupe. This vehicle is a true classic timepiece from the mid 60's. This is not a barn find nor was it a restoration job. This vehicle was maintained and preserved the right way from day 1 and never in any accidents or fender benders. This is the base model with its original matching number 352ci with Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. Exterior is in excellent shape considering its age. Has all its original glass in tact with no cracks or scratches. Interior is in great shape with no rips or torn material including the dash board with no cracks. Engine Compartment, Trunk, Frame,Undercarriage and floors are solid with no rust or rot holes. Laser straight body lines with no dents anywhere. This is a turn key type of vehicle which can be driven anywhere anytime and is an everyday driver and not a trailer queen. Has always been stored indoors in a climate controlled environment and never driven in rain or snow. Rides very tight and quiet with no rattles or shakes. It can get out of trouble just as fast as it got into. In other words is a stealthy sleeper. I also have the original 2 rear fender skirts for the tires and 14 inch wheels with original Galaxie hubcaps which will also come with the car along with the 15 inch Cragars which are on the car now with new whitewall tires. I also have the original Galaxie keys and owners manual. The original radio still works great, and has a new updated radio with cd mounted under dash board with new speakers on the rear dash. These type of mid year Galaxies are getting harder and harder to find these days in this condition. If you don't believe me just try looking for a clean, solid, unmolested 1965 and you will see exactly what I mean. Today you could not restore this car for my asking price never mind trying to find a good clean solid one to begin with. It took me almost 4 years to find the right one to turn into a Pro Street project but this one is in too good of shape to cut up and tub out. You could buy it today and cruise tonight to your favorite spots around town or bring it to your local car shows and show it off. I get compliments and thumbs up everywhere I go and it does pretty good at the car shows too attracting all sorts of great people and the stories they have about their family members owning one of these timeless classics. I am not a car dealer, I am a collector/enthusiast/hobbyist who enjoys these type of vehicles. Interesting Trades will be considered and may be accepted for a pre 1972 Ford, Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, Oldsmobile, Mopar, Pontiac, Classic Car, Muscle Car, Hot Rod. or Cash is always the best trade. If interested you can e-mail me through ebay or call me direct at Three,Three,Nine - Two,Two,Five - Eight,Seven,Five,Five and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. I also have an online photo album of the car with many more pictures and I would be happy to send you the link for it.

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
Are you the next Ford Edge? [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013What looks to be the next Ford Edge has been leaked in an apparent corporate Powerpoint presentation deck. Despite the thumbnail image's blurry and pixelated quality, it appears as if the next generation crossover will be staying close to its current aesthetic despite an all-new front clip with redesigned grille, headlamps, and lower fascia with integrated fog lights.
The upscale-minded Blue Oval CUV is due for a redesign in 2015, having just received a mid-cycle refresh for 2011. It isn't clear what changes lie beneath the new skin, either in terms of mechanicals or interior refinement, but we suspect Ford will be looking to put some distance between the next generation model and the new Escape, which is suddenly much more car-like and not that far off the more expensive Edge in terms of overall size, power or refinement.
UPDATE: Substituted clearer image - thanks, Sean!
Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
