1964

 

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.      Monte   (512) 446-4044

Watch Piquet and Mansell bend some sheetmetal in Ford Fusion GP

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

As we told you about before, there were four episodes planned for the Ford Fusion GP campaign in Brazil, and the whole series has now run its course. The Ford ads pit Brazilian Formula One driver Nelson Piquet against English F1 pilot Nigel Mansell driving the new Fusion, the two coming together again after their partnership at the Williams F1 team ended in a miserable state more than 20 years ago.
They're lined up for you below, in reverse chronological order. You should watch number three first, though, as it adds a bit more spice to the NASCAR action in the fourth.

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.
