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

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.

Lincoln Aviator could make a comeback

Tue, Jun 9 2015

The idea of Lincoln dropping its alphanumeric scheme in favor of real names was welcomed by fans of the marque and even appeared possible after the rousing reception to the Continental concept. Now, rumors suggest that the next of the luxury brand's nameplates to see a possible revival just might be the Aviator. Don't get your hopes up quite yet, though. The Truth About Cars admits that this tip comes from a second-hand source, but the person reports that Lincoln has a project codenamed Aviator as a model based on the Explorer. There's evidence to give the rumor some shaky support, though. Ford already has the trademarks for the name and AV8R. Also, an Explorer-based vehicle in 2019 is included for the brand's predictions in the recent Car Wars forecast. Autoblog reached out to company spokesperson Sam Locricchio, but he would not speculate about future products. The same source claims to The Truth About Cars that the Blue Oval might not replace the Ford Flex or Lincoln MKT when the current generations come to an end. Also, the next-gen Expedition and Navigator could use 10-speed automatics and follow the F-150 to get aluminum bodies, which is also already rumored. Although, all of this should be taken with a big grain of salt until anything more official has arrived. Lincoln spokesperson Stephane Cesareo gave The Truth About Cars no comment on the rumor, but said, "By 2020, we expect to expand the segments that we participate in by adding two new nameplates to the Lincoln brand. We have not provided any indications about the products or their names." Related Video:
