1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 6.4l on 2040-cars
Reading, Massachusetts, United States
|
bought the car last year to take the family in but the wife wants a more traditional hot rod so the Galaxie needs a new home!
Title in my name in hand. 1964 Galaxie 390 factory z code car 2 door hardtop just rewired the ENTIRE car front to back with a Ron Francis wiring harness. The gauges work but I need to install a new fuel sending unit (i have one but havent stopped driving the car long enough to put it in!) and a new temp sending unit (also have it) to run the gauges.Gauges tested out as they should and work. bench seats (front has a couple rips along the stitching as seen in the pics), rear is about perfect. added rear seatbelts stainless exhaust car sounds and runs great disk conversion done in the front, drums in back brand new rear tires Torque thrust style aluminum mags newer dual master cylinder have all power steering equipment but i installed a manual steering valve brand new aluminum radiator trans rebuilt last year (have receipt) for $600 new windshield last year posi rear axle no heater, radio is sitting in there but no speakers, wipers work, horn works (needs a relay to be louder), turn signals work, stoplights work, brakes work well what it needs: the paint is a 80's/90's chameleon paint that changes from green to purple to a deep black based on sunlight and time of day. generally it looks black but in the right light it changes. Sadly the hail storm did a lot of small dings mostly to the hood. decklid and roof obv. though the side panels of the car are still in great shape and the body itself is extremely straight and rust/rot free. very little bondo on the car as its a Tennesse car and has only been in new england for 1 season. . lower doors and doorjamb, rockers etc are in excellent shape. when driving or from 20 feet you cant tell but i want to be upfront. the car fires up even in 20 degree weather and runs great. did more than 1k miles in 2 months this year. it's not a show car but a very respectable driver you can get in and go now. needs window cranks for the rear windows and the front smaller windows. other than that its how far you want to take it. if i were to keep it id fill the hail dents and paint it black and flake the roof and be done. but the wife wants a traditional 40-50s hot rod so thats where im at and i cant have both. the car is a paintojob and some small interior things like window cranks away from being killer. even as is it's still bad a$$ and mean. gets compliments and thumbs up everywhere. i drive it often and hate to part with it. currently registered and insured and inspected. no trades unless its a running pre 1979 harley shovelhead or panhead FLH. |

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a track-day weapon with 500 hp
Mon, 17 Nov 2014
Ford promises more than 500 horsepower and a torque peak above 400 lb-ft.
The wait is finally over. After months of spy shots, rumor and innuendo, Ford has officially pulled the wraps off its new Shelby GT350. Judging by the spec sheet and the promises being made - especially that the Shelby GT350 will be "an all-day track car that's also street legal" - the wait appears to have been worth it.
Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems
Sun, 10 Mar 2013The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.
American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings
Fri, 10 May 2013Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.
