bought the car last year to take the family in but the wife wants a more traditional hot rod so the Galaxie needs a new home!

Title in my name in hand.

1964 Galaxie 390 factory z code car
2 door hardtop
just rewired the ENTIRE car front to back with a Ron Francis wiring harness. The gauges work but I need to install a new fuel sending unit (i have one but havent stopped driving the car long enough to put it in!) and a new temp sending unit (also have it) to run the gauges.Gauges tested out as they should and work.
bench seats (front has a couple rips along the stitching as seen in the pics), rear is about perfect.
added rear seatbelts
stainless exhaust car sounds and runs great
disk conversion done in the front, drums in back
brand new rear tires
Torque thrust style aluminum mags
newer dual master cylinder
have all power steering equipment but i installed a manual steering valve 
brand new aluminum radiator
trans rebuilt last year (have receipt) for $600
new windshield last year
posi rear axle

no heater, radio is sitting in there but no speakers, wipers work, horn works (needs a relay to be louder), turn signals work, stoplights work, brakes work well

what it needs:
the paint is a 80's/90's chameleon paint that changes from green to purple to a deep black based on sunlight and time of day.  generally it looks black but in the right light it changes.  Sadly the hail storm did a lot of small dings mostly to the hood. decklid and roof obv.   though the side panels of the car are still in great shape and the body itself is extremely straight and rust/rot free.  very little bondo on the car as its a Tennesse car and has only been in new england for 1 season.  . 

lower doors and doorjamb, rockers etc are in excellent shape.  when driving or from 20 feet you cant tell but i want to be upfront.  the car fires up even in 20 degree weather and runs great.  did more than 1k miles in 2 months this year.  it's not a show car but a very respectable driver you can get in and go now.  needs window cranks for the rear windows and the front smaller windows.  other than that its how far you want to take it.  if i were to keep it id fill the hail dents and paint it black and flake the roof and be done.  but the wife wants a traditional 40-50s hot rod so thats where im at and i cant have both.  the car is a paintojob and some small interior things like window cranks away from being killer.  even as is it's still bad a$$ and mean.  gets compliments and thumbs up everywhere. i drive it often and hate to part with it.  currently registered and insured and inspected.

no trades unless its a running pre 1979 harley shovelhead or panhead FLH.

Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.

Ford posts record pre-tax Q3 profit of $2.6B

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Ford took in $2.6 billion in pre-tax profits in the third quarter of the year, making for a record trio of months that saw the Blue Oval's year-over-year earnings increase by $426 million. The earnings are being attributed not just to improvements in North American sales, but sales around the globe.
Revenue was up 12 percent, to $36 billion, although net income took a hit, dropping $359 million to $1.3 billion. Ford was dinged with $498 million in pre-tax charges, which are being blamed for the drop in net income.
The news has boosted Ford's hopes for full-year results, bumping it's total profits up past $8 billion, according to Automotive News. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer is still expecting a loss in Europe, although it's forecasted less than the $1.73 billion it burned in 2012. In fact, according to CFO Bob Shanks, Ford's European losses dropped by 51 percent year-over year, a huge improvement for the brand.
