                                                                                 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 2Dr. Hardtop 

                                                    Z code 390, toploader 4 speed , and open 3.00:1 rear


I have over 120 pictures on my photobucket account that I can't seem to link here. I will email any interested bidders a direct link.   

Here is a very solid, great running '64 galaxie that could be enjoyed as is or restore to your liking. I have owned it for 4 years, need to trim down and this one has to go. The paint is shiny driver quality that has been touched up in spots, but presents itself well. The stainless trim and chrome are in very good condition with few flaws. The rear bumper is VERY nice, leading me to think that it must have been re-chromed or replaced. The interior needs work as the pictures show. The headliner is excellent, dash is faded with one split, carpet and front seat cover will need to be replaced, but they are not destroyed and can be used as is. 

Things that have been repaired or replaced in the last year:
New clutch kit flywheel balanced and re-surfaced, engine and transmission mounts ( less then 1,000 miles)
New driveshaft, universal joints, rear axle bearings and seals
4 new firestone tires 
New battery

I always run Mobile 1 synthetic oil with zddp additive. The 390 starts quickly with no odd noises or smoke. The top loader 4 speed is shifted by a Hurst shifter. The 4 wheel manual drum brakes work like they should with no pulling or pulsating. The front end will need attention, some off the bushings are dry rotting and there is little play in the steering.  The frame and trunk is soild, the floors are good with a minor soft area by the front passenger area.
Heater, wipers, and all outside lights operate as they should.   
 
Thing that would need attention:
Gas and water temp. guages are inaccurate.
Horn not operating.
Interior lights in headliner do not work.
Radio lights when turned on but no speaker is wired to it.

I welcome and encourage potential buyers or independent third party inspectors to come and view the car prior to bidding to decide if this car is right for you. 

I require a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction end, with the remaining balance due in 7 days. I will assist with shipping.

Please call me @ 631-428-5833 if you have any questions or would like additional or specific information.

Thanks and good luck!

Ford Escort Concept goes back to basics

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

Here's the thing about China: The folks buying cars there have a very different set of standards than shoppers in many other markets around the globe. While we all drool over hot metal with bold designs, and while we appreciate automakers going an extra step to inject even their cheapest offerings with aggressive and interesting cues, that sort of sheetmetal sex appeal doesn't always sell in the People's Republic. Case in point is Jaguar, which may be designing a more traditional-looking version of its XJ for the Chinese market, or more to the point of this story, Ford currently sells the less-exciting, last-generation Focus compact in China right alongside the new one.
So consider this new Shanghai-bound C-segment concept a preview of what's to come for that more traditional, budget-minded, less-sexy market. More proof of this pudding: Ford's even calling this concept the Escort - a nod to the Blue Oval's compact car days of yore, and a name that stirs up thoughts of basic, affordable transportation rather than great driving dynamics or bold design. "Customers in China described seeking a vehicle that is stylish - but not one that is arrogant or pretentious," Ford states. And this new Escort concept previews a possibility of providing exactly that for this rapidly expanding automotive market.
What you're looking at, then, is one of the most simple Ford designs we've seen of late, though it still incorporates all of the automaker's latest DNA. The signature hexagonal grille is front and center, flanked by attractive LED headlamps and chrome-rimmed foglamp housings. The entire car's design focuses on clean, smooth surfaces, with one strong character line flowing from front to back just below the beltline. We will say that the car looks decidedly more premium from the rear view, where narrow, horizontal taillamps with an LED accent give the car added visual width. Bland as it may be, it's a handsome little concept, though fear what would likely happen if all of the conceptual details get dumbed down for a production model.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
