1964 Ford Galaxie Custom 390 Big Block 4 Speed Complete Restoration on 2040-cars
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.

Ford builds USAF Thunderbirds Edition Mustang for charity
Tue, 02 Jul 2013Each year since 2008, Ford has created a one-off Mustang to celebrate military aviation, and the cars have been auctioned off at the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Gathering of Eagles charity event to raise money to inspire the next generation of aviators. This year's charity car is the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, which also helps celebrate 60 years of Thunderbirds air show excellence.
Of all the EAA charity cars, this Thunderbirds Edition is the most in depth. Painted to match the F-16 Tomcat fighter jets used by Thunderbirds, this Mustang also gets a widebody kit and 22-inch Forgiato wheels to go with the cockpit's Recaro bucket seats, rear-seat delete and modified navigation screen and gauge cluster. Even the Mustang's projector puddle lights have been changed to show an aircraft silhouette - rather than the Mustang's galloping horse logo - when the doors are open.
Themes for previous EAA charity cars include the Blue Angels, SR-71 Blackbird and the Red Tails as well as the F-22 Raptor-inspired AV8R and AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" models. Scroll down for the press release for the 2014 Ford Mustang GT US Air Force Thunderbirds Edition, and be sure to check out our galleries for all six aviation-themed Mustangs.
Ford highlights new F-650 and F-750 with full-size Tonka show truck [w/videos]
Thu, Mar 5 2015Who among us hasn't been tempted by the prospect of buying a big yellow truck and painting the name Tonka along the side? Well apparently there were some folks over at Ford who were just as tempted, only they actually had the means to make that childhood fantasy a reality in the form of the truck you see here. Revealed at the NTEA Work Truck Show this week in Indianapolis, this Tonka show truck stands nearly 10 feet tall. It's painted bright yellow, just like the one you played with in the sand box (and probably still would given the opportunity and maybe no one else looking) and has a blacked-out nose treatment and special graphics. As you can see, it's also equipped with a working dump bed, and has a truly staggering 33,000-pound gross vehicle weight rating, built to showcase the Blue Oval's new line of medium duty trucks. Of course "medium duty" is a relative term, and the new F-750 is clearly a heavier piece of machinery than the company's own Super Duty pickups, but they're lighter-duty than a proper big rig. The new 2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 are just as tough as the models they replace, but they're now quieter and more comfortable to use. In fact, Ford says its 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel is now 25-percent quieter inside the cabin at highway speeds, 45-percent quieter at idle and 35-percent quieter standing outside in front of the grille. Ford notes that it's the only medium-duty truck manufacturer that makes its own engines and transmissions. That Power Stroke diesel comes with 270 horsepower and 675 pound-feet of torque as standard, but can be upgraded to 300 hp and 700 lb-ft or all the way up to 330 hp and 725 lb-ft. Commercial buyers will also be able to choose between Regular, Super and Crew Cab models with a straight-frame, dock-height or tractor-towing frames, meaning that whatever it is you've got to haul, chances are high that the new Ford F-650 and F-750 can be set up to get the job done.
