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 Mustang 50th anniversary edition brings in $170k

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Just the other day, we reported on the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat selling for a whopping $825,000 at auction. But impressive as that sum was, the Challenger wasn't the only sought-after modern muscle car to cross the Barrett-Jackson auction block in Las Vegas this past weekend. So did this rare Ford Mustang.
The last of 1,964 special-edition 50 Years Limited Edition pony cars sold for a princely $170,000, with proceeds benefiting the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute, a branch of the Henry Ford Health System.
The pony car in question is based on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and upgrades with a performance package and nearly every option on the book, along with a unique appearance package to set it apart in celebration of the Mustang's 50th anniversary. It's available in two exclusive shades - Wimbledon white or Kona blue - with either a manual or automatic transmission. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples were to be built, and this was the last of them.

Uber releases fleet of self-driving vehicles to select few in Pittsburgh

Wed, Sep 14 2016

Starting today, a select group of Uber users in Pittsburgh, PA will have the ability to request a self-driving vehicle. If a self-driving vehicle is in the area, Uber will send it, as well as a safety driver, to drive loyal customers to their destination. The announcement to give customers the opportunity to get a ride in one of Uber's self-driving vehicles comes roughly a year and a half after the company set up its Advanced Technologies Center in the city. On Tuesday, the company offered a few members of the press the opportunity to ride in one of the company's self-driving cars. The fleet, despite Uber's collaboration with Volvo, was comprised of 14 Ford Fusions equipped with a host of self-driving technology, reports TechCrunch. Uber is giving away free rides as a way to obtain real-world testing, which is crucial for self-driving technology. Recently, nuTonomoy beat Uber to the punch by launching the world's first autonomous taxis in Singapore. While the choice to release its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh mainly comes down to the fact that its ATC is located there, the city faces four seasons and its difficult streets that are comprised of bridges, railroad lines, and an irregular grid layout will prove to be a challenge for the autonomous cars. Since the self-driving vehicles are still being tested, the cars will come with two full-time Uber employees. One employee will loosely grasp the car's steering wheel, ready to take over if something goes awry, while the other will monitor the computer's software. As TechCrunch points out, Uber's autonomous vehicles drove in a similar manner to a regular driver. It obeyed traffic laws, mimicked a driver by coming to stops gently and at other times abruptly, as well as driving slightly into another lane to dodge a poorly-parked vehicle, reports TechCrunch. There's no word on whether regular Uber customers will get a ride in one of the company's Fusions or one of the Volvo's that its working on. Automakers and companies alike have been in a race to put autonomous vehicles on the road. Tesla recently updated its Autopilot system, Apple laid off dozens of employees to reboot its self-driving car project, and Google is working giving its autonomous vehicle the ability to detect emergency vehicles. While this is a large step for Uber, vehicles with autonomous capabilities still have a long way to go.

Ford shows off V8-powered Ranger headed to Dakar Rally

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Avert your eyes now if you're jealous that the global version of the Ford Ranger is not offered in the US. Ford's midsize pickup is being tuned up to take on the 2014 Dakar Rally, and the result is a truck that is probably even cooler than any F-150 SVT Raptor we've ever seen in the States. Ford is actually building two versions of the truck for Dakar, which will run from January 5 through January 18, covering more than 5,000 miles from Argentina to Chile.
Starting with a fully composite body and a 5.0-liter V8 plucked from a Mustang, nearly every aspect of the trucks have been purpose built to take on the grueling race. This includes things like the six-speed sequential gearbox, liquid-cooled rear brakes and the 132-gallon fuel tank. As proof that Dakar is more about endurance than speed, the engines used in these race trucks will be limited to around 350 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, and will max out at a top speed of just 105 miles per hour. Scroll down for Ford's official press release offering more information about the trucks and teams being prepped for Dakar.
