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

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports
Thu, Feb 17 2022It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti. The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
