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's Farley apologizes for saying Blue Oval tracks customers with GPS
Fri, 10 Jan 2014Ford marketing head honcho Jim Farley made waves at CES this week by telling show attendees, "We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it." according to a report by Business Insider. Farley continued by saying, "We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone."
Farley has since amended his statement, saying that Ford dose not, in fact, track its customers in their cars "without their approval or consent."
Apparently carried away with a hypothetical notion, Farley was attempting to describe how Ford might be able to employee aggregated user data for things like accurate traffic reporting and pattern spotting. A Ford spokesperson confirmed with Business Insider that its GPS units are not sharing the whereabouts of drivers, though there are a few on-board services that might do so. After opting in to the services (and presumably being made aware of any/all tracking and data collection), Ford's Sync Services Directions and Crew Chief software do, in fact, allow data collection as a means of improving both systems. Farley added that the opt-in data is not shared, even when being tracked.
2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]
Tue, 14 Jan 2014With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.
