Up for auction is my 1964 Galaxie Country Sedan Wagon. This car is the perfect family cruiser and drives extremely well. The whole drivetrain has been restored starting with a fully rebuilt 390. Block was bored and a 390 crank was installed along with new pistons, rings, bearings, heads totally rebuilt, new valves and springs, Comp Cams 280 hydraulic cam and lifters, and Four barrel intake with original rebuilt Autolite carburetor. Motor machine work was done at Charles' Automotive Machine in Arlington. The Cruise o Matic transmission was fully rebuilt at AAAA transmission in Ft Worth with new seals, clutches and bearings. Front end was rebuilt with new lower control arm bushings and a stabilizer bar was added in between the lower control bushings to secure the front end along with all four shocks. Lincoln disc brakes were added with new calipers and pads. Rear brakes were rebuilt with new shoes and new wheel cylinders. The car stops very well. Axle bearings were replaced along with the rear end grease and gasket. Sanderson headers were added along with full dual exhaust, H pipe with Flowmaster mufflers. A new aluminum radiator was used along with a rebuilt power steering pump, control valve, steering cylinder and all new hoses. Gas tank was cleaned and sealed at Kirby's radiator in Ft Worth. The wheels are Boss 338 18" wheels with BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires. The bumpers were re chromed at Quality Bumper in Dallas and are beautiful. Basically the drivetrain is new on this car. I have about 1800-2000 miles on it since everything was new. I drove this car to Austin for the Lone Star Roundup a few months back and it drove exceptionally smooth and well with four of us in it. Body is straight with the exception of a few dings here and there and a small scrape on the drivers fender. There are a few holes in the rear quarter but nothing totally rotten. Floors are very solid with only a few tiny holes in the left rear pan. Glass is good with the windshield having a crack on the far left hand side. Rear seat is very good. front seat foam is good. I have all the factory A/C parts if you want to add them back for air. Car gets many waves and thumbs up and is a lot of fun to drive. You can literally drive this car anywhere you wanted to. Keep the patina look or you can repaint for the perfect car either way. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see it. Car is located in Ft Worth Texas. Thanks for looking!

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.

How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
