1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 6.4l on 2040-cars
Reading, Massachusetts, United States
|
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 Shelby GT350 Mustang to cost $52,995?
Mon, Dec 1 2014The 2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang was one of the shining stars of this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. And the Blue Oval's latest muscle car might even have reason to burn a little brighter if a recent rumor about its price proves true. Best of all are rumors that an even more potent version of the Shelby is potentially on the way. According to Horsepower Kings citing unnamed Ford sources at the LA Auto Show, the 2015 GT350 carries a starting price of $52,995, and the Tech package adds a further $2,995 on top of that. There's also the claim of a Track package for an undisclosed price. However, it doesn't look like LA is the last we'll see of the newest Shelby because the source also alleges that a top-rung GT350R is under development with bigger brakes, modified aerodynamics and sportier tires. This rubber-burner is reported to be unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January. Assuming these claims are correct, it puts the Shelby in fighting form against its two Chevrolet Camaro rivals. Ford reports that the GT350's 5.2-liter V8 pumps out over 500 horsepower and more than 400 pound-feet of torque. At $52,995, it would undercut by a couple of grand the $55,505 (before destination) base price of the 580-hp 2015 ZL1. The super 'Stang might also beat the 505-hp Z/28 with its power rating, while being vastly cheaper than the track-focused Camaro's $72,305 price. This could be quite the performance shoot-out.
Ford builds two-millionth EcoBoost engine
Tue, 17 Sep 2013Ford's EcoBoost engine lineup is only four years old, but it is growing into an important and popular global engine. As proof of its popularity, Ford just produced its 2 millionth EcoBoost engine - a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder - which rolled off the assembly line in Louisville, Kentucky under the hood of an Escape.
Ford now offers five EcoBoost engines around the world ranging from the 1.0-liter inline-three to the twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6, and the automaker is expanding production of two of its engine lines to keep up with demand. Earlier this year, Ford announced that the 2.0-liter EcoBoost would be built in Cleveland, Ohio starting in 2014 and, more recently, Ford said that it will be doubling production of the 1.0-liter EcoBoost in Germany. That turbo-three will also be produced in China at a new Ford engine plant in Chongqing.
Scroll down for Ford's full press release on this EcoBoost production milestone, including a breakdown of where all the engines were made.
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
