Up for auction is my 1964 Galaxie Country Sedan Wagon. This car is the perfect family cruiser and drives extremely well. The whole drivetrain has been restored starting with a fully rebuilt 390. Block was bored and a 390 crank was installed along with new pistons, rings, bearings, heads totally rebuilt, new valves and springs, Comp Cams 280 hydraulic cam and lifters, and Four barrel intake with original rebuilt Autolite carburetor. Motor machine work was done at Charles' Automotive Machine in Arlington. The Cruise o Matic transmission was fully rebuilt at AAAA transmission in Ft Worth with new seals, clutches and bearings. Front end was rebuilt with new lower control arm bushings and a stabilizer bar was added in between the lower control bushings to secure the front end along with all four shocks. Lincoln disc brakes were added with new calipers and pads. Rear brakes were rebuilt with new shoes and new wheel cylinders. The car stops very well. Axle bearings were replaced along with the rear end grease and gasket. Sanderson headers were added along with full dual exhaust, H pipe with Flowmaster mufflers. A new aluminum radiator was used along with a rebuilt power steering pump, control valve, steering cylinder and all new hoses. Gas tank was cleaned and sealed at Kirby's radiator in Ft Worth. The wheels are Boss 338 18" wheels with BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires. The bumpers were re chromed at Quality Bumper in Dallas and are beautiful. Basically the drivetrain is new on this car. I have about 1800-2000 miles on it since everything was new. I drove this car to Austin for the Lone Star Roundup a few months back and it drove exceptionally smooth and well with four of us in it. Body is straight with the exception of a few dings here and there and a small scrape on the drivers fender. There are a few holes in the rear quarter but nothing totally rotten. Floors are very solid with only a few tiny holes in the left rear pan. Glass is good with the windshield having a crack on the far left hand side. Rear seat is very good. front seat foam is good. I have all the factory A/C parts if you want to add them back for air. Car gets many waves and thumbs up and is a lot of fun to drive. You can literally drive this car anywhere you wanted to. Keep the patina look or you can repaint for the perfect car either way. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see it. Car is located in Ft Worth Texas. Thanks for looking!

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not 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.

James Franco and tiger tease Ford Super Bowl commercial

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

Ford has just released a teaser for its Super Bowl ad, and unlike just about every other automaker, it seems that the Blue Oval is going to make us wait until Sunday to see the full spot. The teaser is, um, strange.
It stars James Franco, who believes he is Ron Riggle, the comedian, Fox NFL Sunday host and retired Marine lieutenant colonel. There's also a tiger. The vague spot has Franco claiming that "this is no ordinary commercial." You'll note on the bottom right, there's a Ford logo and the hashtag #nearlydouble.
According to Automotive News, it's part of a massive viral effort being pushed forward by Ford and its dealerships. Ford sent different teasers and "vignettes" to dealership employees and asked them to share them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, in the hopes of creating a viral effect.
