1964

 

Up for auction is our 1964 Ford Custom.  That's right, this is not a Galaxie, Its very rare and unusual "Custom".  

This car began life as a 6 cyl / three speed as many of the plane jane cars did.  It has been built into a 390 big block 4-speed as a clone. Everything on this car was redone or replaced.  Every car event it goes to, it gets lots of attention and draws a crowd. 

The engine is a March of '64 block and is closely dated to the car.  It is fully rebuilt with approximately 5,000 miles on it.  Bored .030 with all new internals and fresh throughout.  Holley carb and Edelbrock intake.  The transmission is a T-10 out of a '63 406 car, with a Lakewood scatter shield and all new clutch components.  The shifter is correct with the reverse lockout handle.  New balanced driveline and the stock 9" rear differential.  All rebuilt brakes.  New dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers (sounds very cool and is not too loud).  Wheel Vintiques 15x8 steelies made for the factory poverty caps with Goodyear radials.  235/60 in front and 255/60 in the rear, giving the car a old school yet very  aggressive look.  Under the hood is very well detailed and extremely clean.

This car has been in Colorado its entire life and is absolutely rust free.  The body is very straight and has never had floors or any rust repair.  The inside of the trunk floor is untouched and looks new!  The paint is the original color and is fresh and flawless.  All of the glass is very nice, the side glass all glides up and down smoothly.  All new weather strip and moldings.  The bright work is all very nice and original, the anodized aluminum parts  appear to be NOS. The bumpers are the stock steel bumpers that are powder coated silver for that lightweight look.  The interior is all new (seats, headliner, door panels, package tray, kick panels, carpet and dash paint)  and smells like a new car.   The seats were recovered using the very last of NOS material SMS had for a '64 Ford Custom.  All gauges are restored and work properly.  Erra correct wood wheel for that Nostalgic street racer look.  Factory radio and clock delete plates. 

This car is a freshly restored Ford that is very unique and different.  Its always a great conversation piece and is a joy to drive.  I have been with ebay since 2008 and have a 100% score.  Im a honest seller who has nothing to hide, so please ask questions as I am sure I have missed something.

  Thank you for viewing my '64 Custom.      Monte   (512) 446-4044

Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant

Tue, Jun 17 2014

How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
