1964

 

Up for auction is our 1964 Ford Custom.  That's right, this is not a Galaxie, Its very rare and unusual "Custom".  

This car began life as a 6 cyl / three speed as many of the plane jane cars did.  It has been built into a 390 big block 4-speed as a clone. Everything on this car was redone or replaced.  Every car event it goes to, it gets lots of attention and draws a crowd. 

The engine is a March of '64 block and is closely dated to the car.  It is fully rebuilt with approximately 5,000 miles on it.  Bored .030 with all new internals and fresh throughout.  Holley carb and Edelbrock intake.  The transmission is a T-10 out of a '63 406 car, with a Lakewood scatter shield and all new clutch components.  The shifter is correct with the reverse lockout handle.  New balanced driveline and the stock 9" rear differential.  All rebuilt brakes.  New dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers (sounds very cool and is not too loud).  Wheel Vintiques 15x8 steelies made for the factory poverty caps with Goodyear radials.  235/60 in front and 255/60 in the rear, giving the car a old school yet very  aggressive look.  Under the hood is very well detailed and extremely clean.

This car has been in Colorado its entire life and is absolutely rust free.  The body is very straight and has never had floors or any rust repair.  The inside of the trunk floor is untouched and looks new!  The paint is the original color and is fresh and flawless.  All of the glass is very nice, the side glass all glides up and down smoothly.  All new weather strip and moldings.  The bright work is all very nice and original, the anodized aluminum parts  appear to be NOS. The bumpers are the stock steel bumpers that are powder coated silver for that lightweight look.  The interior is all new (seats, headliner, door panels, package tray, kick panels, carpet and dash paint)  and smells like a new car.   The seats were recovered using the very last of NOS material SMS had for a '64 Ford Custom.  All gauges are restored and work properly.  Erra correct wood wheel for that Nostalgic street racer look.  Factory radio and clock delete plates. 

This car is a freshly restored Ford that is very unique and different.  Its always a great conversation piece and is a joy to drive.  I have been with ebay since 2008 and have a 100% score.  Im a honest seller who has nothing to hide, so please ask questions as I am sure I have missed something.

  Thank you for viewing my '64 Custom.      Monte   (512) 446-4044

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.

Project CARS 2 is coming

Tue, Jun 23 2015

It's barely been a month since we released our review on Project CARS, and already, developers Slightly Mad Studios is preparing a sequel. It'll use the same crowd-funding formula that put together such a successful game this time around. The sequel was announced on the World of Mass Development portal, the same source of crowdfunding for the first Project CARS. Among the enhancements Slightly Mad is planning, there's the usual promise of more tracks and cars, but what we're really looking forward to is the news hidden in that promise. Project CARS 2 will boast bigger, more exciting forms of racing, including rallycross. In total, there will be over "50 unique locations and 200+ courses," "8 different disciplines," and "200+ cars from over 40 different vehicle classes including never-before-seen Concepts and Banned Race Cars." Yes, this all sounds very good. Project CARS 2 will also add a new customizable test track feature, and there will be an increased emphasis on both co-op and social gameplay and "skill and behavioral-based matchmaking" in online play. The crowdfunding campaign for the new title is currently underway, although it's unclear when we'll get a planned release date. As for our own wish list, it's remarkably short. We'd like a more fully fleshed out career mode, actual vehicle upgrades and customization options, and a genuine economy would be welcomed additions. Part of the fun of racing titles is working up the coin to acquire new and exciting cars. It's not that we mind full access to the game's entire roster of vehicles, we just wish that in the career mode, there was a bit more planning and challenge to getting ahold of new racers. In short, we want the best parts of Forza Motorsport with combined with the best parts of Project CARS. Oh, and if the frame-rate issues we experienced on the Xbox One could be sorted out too. What would you like to see included in Project CARS 2? Perhaps cleaner menus? A better soundtrack? Have your say down in Comments. Until then, check out the launch announcement over at WMD.

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
