1964 Ford Galaxie Fastback Drag Car, this car is not street legal so please don't ask.
Engine: 460 bored .30 with D0VE heads ported and polished
Transmission: 4500 Stall Converter ,C6 with shift kit, B&M shifter
Rearend: 9 inch 5:00 gears with mini spool
Front suspension: Stock but I put new springs from a 1964 Ford air conditioner station wagon to support the big block
Rear suspension: It has the traction bar setup from Crites Restoration (like what the NHRA used back in the day) and the shocks are mounted for coil over springs. The leaf springs are still there because the coil overs have not been mounted yet. It would be very easy to finish.
Body: This is an older paint job and the hood would need to be painted again as the clear started to peel off. Lexan glass has been installed everywhere except for the windsheild which is stock. The front bumper is a fiberglass one purchased from Crites Restoration while the rear bumper is original. Hood, deck lid, and all the trim pieces are original as well.
Time: The car runs 7.50's in the 1/8 mile.
I won a lot of races with this car including 5 races the first year I ran it and won the points championship and the Gold Card Shootout at my home track.
It does need some work, the passenger side axle broke the last time it was ran but I do have the replacement axle that goes with the car and would be simple to fix. The headers are rusted and would need to be replaced. Everything else is in working order and the car starts up and runs fine. I would replace the Lexan in the car as it is 10 years old and looks cloudy, (maybe someone knows how to buff this out but I was unable to do so). Look at the pictures and ask any questions as I am sure I left something out.

Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
Rowan Atkinson crashes at Goodwood Revival
Sun, 14 Sep 2014To quote Harry Hogge (played by Robert Duvall) in Days of Thunder, "rubbin, son, is racin'." That can mean some unfortunate damage to high-end racing machinery, which may be repaired easily enough in stock car racing, but when it comes to vintage racing, the stakes can be that much higher. And yet incidents do occur, like at this weekend's Goodwood Revival.
Among the many competitors taking part in the retro racing event in England was none other than Rowan Atkinson, the actor perhaps best known for playing Mr. Bean. Driving a classic Ford Falcon Sprint in the Shelby Cup event, Atkinson (pictured above at the 2012 revival) reportedly crashed head-on into another car on track.
According to reports, the two cars up spun out. The driver in between managed to avoid a pile-up, but Atkinson couldn't steer clear and hit the obstructing vehicle. Fortunately Rowan walked away unscathed (and, we imagine, in a humorous manner), but while we don't know how extensive the damage was to the Falcon, it was enough to take it out of the race.
