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.

Oprah at it again, gives car away on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sat, 17 Aug 2013Oprah Winfrey loves giving away cars. Not only has she given Pontiac G6 sedans and Volkswagen Beetle retro-mobiles to everyone in the audience of her past show, but the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she gave another car away to one lucky audience member, while yelling her now-famous line: "You get a car!"
Although the acting of Oprah and Jimmy Kimmel was obviously staged for this giveaway, the reaction from the woman in the audience was genuine shock as she found out that she had just won a new Ford Fusion Energi. Congrats!
Not to take away from what Oprah and Jimmy pulled off, but our cynical sides have to wonder if there isn't more than just a little coincidence that this giveaway took place on the same day that Ford announced a fuel economy reduction for the C-Max hybrid. You be the judge... Scroll down to watch the short clip from the episode.
Ford blamed in drug mule lawsuit
Tue, 30 Jul 2013If a college student is caught smuggling drugs across the border, one might think the kid got what was coming to him. But when a Mexican student at the University of Texas in El Paso was caught by Border Patrol agents with duffel bags filled with marijuana in his trunk, the man used a classic excuse: He claimed they weren't his.
While a claim like that is almost unbelievable, Ricardo Magallanes, the student, is now suing Ford for handling its vehicles' key codes negligently enough to allow drug smugglers to break into his Ford Focus and stash the drugs, The Daily Caller reports. The twist here is that four other people who lived in Juarez and worked in El Paso were involved in the same type of scheme - allegedly unwittingly, just like Magallanes - and all the cars were Fords except one model from General Motors. FBI agents also found an employee at a Dallas Ford dealership that had accessed the key codes to all four of the cannabis-stuffed Fords.
While we all may not own Fords, the case still causes us slight paranoia. We'll definitely be checking our trunks before we cross any more international borders.
2015 Ford Transit Connect Wagon
Thu, May 28 2015The last time I tested a Ford Transit Connect, I needed to drive a group of friends to Boyne, MI, for a long weekend of skiing, snowboarding, and shenanigans. At roughly three hours, the trip is just long enough that my friends asked for something comfortable. A Range Rover would've been ideal. Perhaps a Mercedes-Benz GL or Cadillac Escalade. But no, I chose Transit Connect, to put Ford's small van formula to the test. The tiny van was near the end of its lifecycle in 2012, having debuted in Europe in 2003. Its age was reflected in its loud, underpowered, inefficient engine; noisy, harsh ride; and uncomfortable seats. It was so uncomfortable that we had to stop every hour just to stretch our legs. I didn't have such elaborate plans when this 2015 Transit Connect Wagon arrived in my driveway. But after a week behind the wheel, I can tell that road tripping in this van would be a far, far better experience. The most obvious change for the second-generation model is the styling. It's much better looking than the old TC, looking like the high-roofed spawn of a Focus and Escape. There are a few anomalies, though. First, note the word "Wagon" – that implies passenger van, while the cargo/work-minded Transit Connect is called "Van." Next, this Titanium model is only available on the longer-wheelbase, three-row Wagon. With the LWB configuration, the only tailgate option is a single-piece, lift-up hatch. If you want barn-style doors, get cozy with the short-wheelbase, two-row Transit Connect XLT. Regardless of body style, the Transit Connect Wagon's best styling feature is its enormous greenhouse that guarantees excellent visibility from any angle. The interior adopts a dash layout similar to the Focus. The heated leather seats – standard on the Titanium – are nice enough, but better still is that the chairs are actually comfortable now. The plastics on the dash and doors are still hard and scratchy, but fit and finish is solid. And with major contact points and switchgear that have been pilfered from other Ford products, including the steering wheel, the occasional bad bits in the cabin are easy enough to ignore. With room for three folks in the second row and two more in the back, the Transit Connect Wagon fills a role that is more utilitarian and spartan, but not much less versatile than traditional minivans. The middle row seats feature stadium-style raised seating, and both rows can slide forward and back or fold.
