1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible -- X Code 352 Engine with floor mounted A/C (dealer option)

352 cruisomatic, P/S P/B Factory Red with a Red interior. The data plate numbers show that the original exterior color was white but has been repainted to exterior RED. Quite stunning actually. You see a lot of Red Galaxies with a black or white interior, but rarely red. Its a bold color combo perfect for convertibles. This is an original Galaxie XL with the bucket seat interior and not some bench seat version with an interior cobbled from a hardtop.

I purchased this car in 2008. When I first got it, it was a good running car that just needed some minor mechanical work and cosmetics. It has its original X code 352 engine and transmission. Back then I repainted it to RED, chromed the bumpers replaced the top and did some upholstery work. I drove it to shows and in parades, and then I parked it inside for 5 years. (It is amazing how fast the years go by) Now my life has changed and I should pass it along for someone else to enjoy.

It was a nice straight, totally rust free car before I painted it in 2009. It is still shiny but sitting under a cover in the garage it has developed some chips, scratches and a ding in the fender where something fell on it. The bumpers have some defects popping through the old re-chrome but they still look nice. The rear bottom quarter panels has some paint bubble but not no paint chips.

The seats were reupholstered in the correct pattern at some point before I got it and remain soft and comfortable.  The door panels are original and have some fading and cracking. The carpet is clean with no visible stains with no tears. The original padded dash is wonderful! It remains soft and without cracks. The top was replaced 4 years ago. It was covered for storage and has held up very well. It retains the correct glass rear window.

 

I recently pulled it from storage, changed the oil and fired it up. It started easily and now runs well. The power brake booster and master cylinder were bad so I put a new master and booster on it last week. Also the carb jets where cleaned. It drives well but before driving it any distance I would recommend new belts, hoses and all those little maintenance things that go bad from sitting. The bias ply tires were new 5 years ago and have accumulated maybe 500 miles.

The odometer shows 54600 miles. It is tight and rattle free, but who knows how accurate that number might be. This is an honest car that remains in the condition that these cars were found and restored to 20+ years ago. It would be a fun car to enjoy as is or would be an excellent car to re-restore to modern standards.

Last time I offered this car it came so close to hitting the reserve. Now I realize that it really must go so I have listed with no reserve.


Legal Text:

I make no warranties on this car, personal inspection can be arranged and if you desire pictures of anything just ask!  

If you have any other questions please ask!

A $500 non-refundable deposit within 3 days is required. The deposit is payable through paypal however remaining balance due must be paid in cash or bank wire transfer. The certificate of title and the vehicle will not be released until full payment has been received & cashed.

I have stored it for the last 5 years and I certainly do not want to continue storing it so the car should be removed within 30 days. I moved it outside of my garage (to get some room) and neither you nor I, want it to sit outside any longer than is absolutely necessary.

I am being honest about offering this vehicle to you; I expect the same courtesy of having you be honest about buying it. Bids from buyers with less than 10 positive feedbacks will be summarily rejected. Your winning bid is a commitment to complete the purchase, NOT re-negotiate the deal in my driveway.  The vehicle will stay with me until cleared, certified funds are in my possession.

Thanks you for looking and reading this and Good Luck in your bidding.

2014 Ford Fiesta ST priced from $21,400* [w/poll]

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

The 2014 model year brings a whole host of changes to Ford's Fiesta B-Segment fighter, the most important of which (to our enthusiast eyes, anyway) is the addition of a potent new ST model. The US-spec hot hatch was first shown at the 2012 Los Angeles Auto Show last November, and thanks to Ford's build-and-price site, we've now learned that the Fiesta ST will slide in at $21,400 when it goes on sale later this year (*not including $795 for destination).
Under the hood of the ST is a turbocharged 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline-four good for 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed manual transmission. Ford hasn't released performance data on its pint-sized puncher just yet, but know that these numbers make the Fiesta ST ever-so-slightly more powerful than the larger Volkswagen GTI while returning an estimated 34 miles per gallon on the highway.
Elsewhere in the lineup, the standard Fiesta also gets a smattering of improvements for the 2014 model year, including a new 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine and revised exterior styling. Pricing for the 2014 Fiesta sedan starts at $14,000, with the five-door model adding $600 to that number (again excluding the $795 destination fee).

2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013



It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.

2022 New York Auto Show Roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Fri, Apr 15 2022

NEW YORK — In case you missed it, the New York Auto Show took place this year after being canceled in both 2020 and 2021 due to Covid. A lot of manufacturers showed up in force, but not everybody did. No matter, we were there, and we brought you news, photos and scoops from the floor throughout the show. All of our New York-related stories can be found at our central hub here, but if youÂ’d rather just get a small taste of everything in a quick and digestible format, keep scrolling. 2023 Kia Telluride and its new X-Pro trim Kia revealed the TellurideÂ’s first major refresh at New York, and it makes the three-row crossover a little bit more desirable without screwing up what we liked about it before. ThereÂ’s a new X-Line and X-Pro trim for someone who might want a little more off-road capability, and a number of tech improvements. Most notably, a newly-designed dash features new and bigger screens. 2023 Hyundai Palisade The TellurideÂ’s sister car from Hyundai was treated to a similar refresh. Like the Telluride, Hyundai gave the Palisade a slightly revised look, a new off-road trim (called XRT in the PalisadeÂ’s case), more tech inside and a new dash design with full-width air vents. If we had to choose, weÂ’re a little more impressed with the TellurideÂ’s refresh, as a number of us on staff actually prefer the pre-refresh Palisade styling over the new one. 2023 Jeep Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L This one was inevitable. Jeep revealed the longer, roomier versions of its Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in New York, and theyÂ’re designated with an “L” at the end of their names. Total length grows by a foot, and the wheelbase goes up by 7 inches versus the standard Wagoneer models. Jeep has essentially allocated all this extra room to the cargo area, as it now offers a staggering 44.2 cubic-feet of space behind the third row. Besides the L, Jeep announced that its new Hurricane inline-six engine would find its first home in the Wagoneer. Efficiency gets a small boost, and power is more than sufficient at either 420 horsepower (standard output) or 510 horsepower (high-output version) from the twin-turbo I-6. Chrysler Airflow Graphite Concept The Stellantis party continues with Chrysler and its slightly revised Airflow. Re-styled for the New York market after initially debuting at CES in Las Vegas, the Airflow Concept gets new paint, changed accent colors, a slightly changed interior design and a new interpretation of the Chrysler logo.
