Offering a real decent 1964 Ford Galaxie from an older farmer. Been in his barn for decades and in poor health. I pulled it out and cleaned it up and found it to be super solid. Paint is all original except for the passenger fender which appears to have been replaced and repainted at some time long ago. Typical rock chips and scratches here and there all over it. Grille has a couple minor dings as some in mouldings here and there. The seat covers and carpet were dry rotted so were removed to expose super solid floors with the original paint still on them. The car would be virtually rust free if a mouse had not moved into the left lower quarter and built a nest. Has the typical rear bumper rust line like most 64 big cars have due to mud. This car shows no salt damage any where! I put NOS fairlane seat covers (not galaxie as they were not available) and aftermarket new carpets and headliner. The motor had frozen rings on one piston causing a miss (reason he parked it) so we pulled it and remanufactured the engine including all new pistons bored cylinders .040 over size pistons,rings,turned crank -.010-.010,new bearings,cam lifters,timing components,water pump,valve job etc. Normally I would not have messed with a four door but this car was too solid and nice not to. Has a new clutch and throwout bearing. Transmission and rear end have been serviced. Replaced the rear u-joint, All NEW wheel cylinders and brake shoes. Repacked front wheel bearings. New windshield and back glass gaskets. Has original script glass. Windshield has some pitting and bit cloudy on the right outside edge. Original door panels that have some minor nicks here and there and light sun damage. Steering wheel is nice and dash and garnish mouldings have new correct rangoon red paint with clear coat. Engine internals and machine work are all documented with pictures and receipts. Interior work documented also. If you want a fun car and so perfect that you are afraid to drive it this is a solid and dependable car. Has less than 50 miles on everything done to it. Literally redid the car to sell it. You would be hard pressed to purchase a car and do what has been done to this car for the asking price. I have about 150 project cars here and this is one of the most solid original cars I have come by for a reasonable price in a long time. I will not mind driving this one myself. This car has a lot more power than I expected and drives smooth and straight.

Ford bumped by Amazon in best-perceived brand list
Mon, 20 Jan 2014Back in July, a mid-year study from YouGov found Ford to have higher brand perception than any other company in the US. While Ford failed to top the year-end study, it still has plenty to brag about. The final BrandIndex report shows that online retail giant Amazon edged out Ford for the top ranking, while Subway, the History Channel and Lowe's rounded out the top five spots.
For Ford, it's still an improvement from sixth place in the 2012 study, and, more importantly, it dominated other automakers in terms of brand perception with a clear advantage over Toyota, Honda, Chevy and Volkswagen. To determine how well - or not so well - a brand is perceived, YouGov uses a Buzz score that asks respondents whether they've "heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth" and whether it was positive or negative. While it isn't clear how many respondents were included, YouGov does point out that Ford had a strong presence in social media, advertising and newsworthy toward the end of the year.
For more details about the study and the top companies, check out the press release posted below.
Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
Ford Fiesta becomes UK all-time best seller
Thu, 24 Jul 2014We may regard Ford as an American automaker, but ask a Brit and they may tell you otherwise. The Blue Oval has, after all, been selling cars in the UK since 1903, and started manufacturing there as far back as 1911 when it began local production of the Model T in Manchester. Last year Ford ended 100 years of vehicle manufacturing in the UK when the last Transit van rolled off the assembly line in Southampton, but it's still the biggest-selling automotive marque in Britain.
Ford has led the British market for 34 out of the past 45 years, selling more Fiestas than any other company sells any other car in the UK since 2009... when it overtook the Focus. In fact the Fiesta has now become the best-selling car in British history, topping 4,115,000 units since its introduction in 1976. The previous record was held by - you guessed it - another Ford: the Escort sold 4,105,961 units over the course of its 32 years on the British market.
Although the Fiesta is no longer manufactured in the UK (previous versions having been built at Dagenham until 2002), engines are: the EcoBoost line was developed at the company's R&D center in Essex and are built at the factory in Dunton, while its diesel engines were developed at Dagenham in East London. Even the 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine in the Fiesta ST is built in South Wales.
