I have decided to sell my 1964 Galaxie 500...I bought this car from the original owners daughter back in 2009 and drove it on the trailer. This car had been taken care of very well since it was purchased new in Lexington South Carolina on 7-3-64. I have a copy of the original bill of sale as well as the window sticker. This car is a very solid survivor that can be enjoyed as is or restored very easily. The car was re-painted around 1989 due to some small damage to the passenger door. The paint is showing its age and some of the trim was not taped up very well but I like it this way...you know exactly what you are getting. There are a few spots of rust at the back window and where the top meets the body on the passenger side (see photos). There is a small hole in the trunk under the spare tire. But the amazing thing is that the floors, rockers, quarters, and the rest of the body is RUST FREE! This car has the original carpet in it, it also has the original head liner and visors in it. This car was garage or shed kept its entire life. It has true dual exhaust with the huge mufflers in the rear qtrs....it is very quiet. I have done some mechanical upgrades so I could get in a drive the car without worries and I will list all of them below but this car is as original as you ever want to get. It is a true "Z" code 390, 300HP, 3 speed on the column, Raven Black, Red interior, 1964 Galaxie 500. You will not find another car that is more complete and original with this combination anywhere. I have had my fun... now it is time to pass it on to someone else to enjoy.
This car is by no means perfect.....it has a few bumps and bruises but it is extremely solid and is a great car to have. I am reluctant to sell but I feel like now is the time to move on to something else.
Here are all of the mechanical things I have done to the car...trying to keep it as original as possible.
New plugs, wires, cap, rotor button with Petronics electronic ignition (got rid of the points)
New exhaust manifold gasket and donut on drivers side
Rebuilt Autolite 4100 factory 4 Barrel
Rebuilt Clutch / Brake petal assembly (all new bushings)
New Heater core with defrost hoses
New Master Cylinder
All new brakes in front (Shoes, springs, cylinders, rotors turned)
New rubber brake lines on front
I removed the original foam padding on the inside of the firewall and installed Dynamat sheets.
Rebuilt radiator (it actually came out of an automatic car and the trans cooler is plugged)
KYB Shocks on all 4 corners
New Motor mounts
I swapped the original 14" steel wheels for 15's...5.5" up front and 6" in the rear...the tires are 205/75's and 235 / 75's
63 Ford dog dish caps
Changed the trans and differential fluids
New Fuel pump
New seal in tail of trans
Speaker in dash has been rebuilt
New clutch and pressure plate (still in box....needs to be installed)
Front seat is a 64 Galaxie seat but it is not the original seat...I have the original seat but it needs to be recovered.
What the car needs....
It marks it's spot every where you park it...I am guessing the rear main seal...
Clutch and pressure plate assembly needs to be installed..
Front brakes need to be adjusted again....sometimes it pulls to the right...
I may have missed a few things but you get the idea, I just drove this car on a 2 hour trip 3 days ago and it performed flawlessly.
Let me know if you would like to see some other pictures of have a specific question. The reserve on this car is very fair so bid with confidence.
Thanks

2016 Ford Mustang SVT hides big power under its domed hood
Tue, 17 Jun 2014With a number of 2015 Ford Mustang versions finally available to configure, the fun of speculating about next year's high-performance 'Stang can now begin. It looks like Ford has something seriously fun planned too. One of our spy photographers just snapped some fresh pics of the 2016 Mustang SVT, which is believed to be hiding the final body shape under all of that heavy camouflage.
Ford clearly doesn't want prying eyes looking at its new pride and joy. It would be hard to put much more obfuscation on a car than this one wears - it even has mesh baffles around the exhausts to conceal how many there are and panels over the wheels to hide their design. However, the Blue Oval can't keep everything a secret. The biggest clue that something special is hidden underneath is the massive hood bulge and vent in front of it. Clearly, whatever is under there is hungry for cool air. The shape of the camo indicates that there may be fender vents on each side, and there are also obscured outlets behind the front wheels likely to pull cool air through the brakes. At the rear, the concealment does its job, making it hard to observe any big changes. The fact that Ford wants it kept such a secret might indicate something, though.
A few photos of the interior show far less cover than the outside. You can easily make out the model's 6,500 rpm redline with a possible 7,000 rpm over-rev function. The big Recaro sport seats also look quite supportive.
Ford rethinking vehicle launch strategy
Tue, 07 May 2013With a new boss at the helm, Ford is looking at new ways to improve its vehicle launches in North America to prevent recent issues that have popped up with models like the Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and Ford Fusion. Speaking with Automotive News, Ford's new president of the Americas, Joe Hinrichs, revealed a few ways the automaker plans to avoid early build issues such as the engine fires on certain 2013 Escape and Fusion models and months-long delays for customers to receive their MKZs.
It sounds like the root of the problems may have been Ford's relationship with suppliers compounded by the fact that the product surge came on the heels of the recent industry-crippling recession, and in the AN article, Hinrichs says improvements are being made to reduce problems during the launch of new or redesigned models. Three such improvements that were implemented during the first quarter of this year including more rigorous quality comparisons, better use of computer technology to catch major problems sooner and hiring engineers to work closer with suppliers.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
