Offering for sale at no reserve (as usual) one 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. This car is 50 years old this year! It looks like it has never had any work done on the body except where we fixed some rock chips and a small rust spot in the left rear quarter - a mud trap area and years before it was parked the right fender had been replaced and painted. The paint on the right fender is chipping now. The floors and trunk look good showing original paint and no surface rust. The motor is a 289 that has 200 miles on a complete overhaul including new .040 over pistons, turned the crank .010-.010 and all new cam,lifters,valve job etc. Even put new belts,hoses,starter,bypass hose,heater hoses,water pump and thermostat. This is not a rering job outback under the apple tree! The motor runs smooth with plenty of power (it's no hot rod, but, surprisingly, has a lot of get up and go). This car has power enough to pass cars in short order even though the motor built to stock specs. Really surprised me. We replaced the muffler. The tires are new (we have driven them less that 200 miles). The seats, carpet, and headliner are new. Wheel cylinders new with remanufactured brake linings and wheel bearings repacked.This is one of those cars that will probably be good for another 50 years with a little attention to the exterior. This car is just the thing to take the grand kids to the zoo. We have gone through this cars major mechanics. The only things I know to do is the blower motor switch does not work. The speedometer jumps when extremely cold and the gas guage reads 3/4 when it is actually full but goes way below empty. Drives and rides smooth as silk. Can be picked up and driven home anywhere and I would not be afraid of it. This was a true barn find from an old farmer in Scott City in dry climate western Kansas who last plated it in 1977 due to a miss in the motor that he could not get out. I originally was going to part it out but the car was so solid and original that I could not bring myself to do it (we generally do not restore 4drs). After finding the miss in the motor (a broken compression ring on cylinder # 5) we just pulled it apart and completely overhauled the motor,clutch,brakes and most of the interior. New windshield and back glass gaskets,headliner,carpet and NORS fairlane (not galaxie) seat covers. When we stripped the interior the floors were amazing having original paint on therm. Everything we replaced in the interior was due to age and being dried up from sitting. Could use new door gaskets due to being flattened from age but the car feels and sounds tight. You cannot buy a car this solid and do what has been done to it for the low reserve price we have on it.
Selling with intention of needing restoration of rest of minor components.
It has a good title.
The car can be stored here for up to 6 months - after that we will come up with a monthly fee.
Possible delivery if you are within 400 miles of central Kansas south or west for a fee.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
If you would like a better look at anything we can send more pictures.
We expect payment within 5 working days of the end of the auction.

XCAR stages epic drag race between Ford GT40, GT70 and GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

XCAR has put together what it believes is a first - a drag race between Ford's legendary, Le Mans-winning GT40, the more recent GT supercar it inspired and the little-known GT70 rally car. The three mid-engined monsters were all built for very different purposes, and not surprisingly, they come to battle with very different powertrains.
The GT40 is powered by a thumping, naturally aspirated V8. This example, which looks like a Mark IV model, is likely powered by a 7.0-liter engine, although it's not entirely clear how much power it's putting down. The GT70, meanwhile, was Ford's response to the Lancia Stratos. Considering that the Lancia is one of the greatest rally cars in history and many of you are probably just hearing of the GT70 for the first time, you can imagine how much success Ford had with it. Only six were produced before a change in regulations doomed this mid-engined rally car.
The Ford GT, meanwhile, doesn't really need an introduction. 550 horsepower is on offer from a 5.4-liter, supercharged V8, which keeps the GT competitive even against more modern supercars. 60 miles per hour arrives in well under four seconds while the top speed sits at 212 mph. Not bad for a car that went out of production in 2006.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Ford EcoBoost V6 hits the dyno before hitting the track

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Ford Racing just unveiled the Riley Daytona Prototype that will make its racing in the United SportsCar Racing Championship Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and now it has released a video showing development of twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 that powers the car. Using the same block and heads that can be found on a production Ford Taurus SHO, this new racecar benefits from the collaboration between Ford Racing and Ford powertrain engineers.
While we still don't know what kind of power this engine is putting out, it has definitely gotten a workout at Ford's 17G dyno. This area deep within Ford allows the automaker's racing program to work hand-in-hand with production engine programs, which can be a benefit to racing operations and production cars alike. Scroll down to hear a few people from Ford talk about the crosspollination between its racing and engine teams and watch the EcoBoost get red hot on the dyno.
