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.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part three
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and has an associates degree in dropping f-bombs. For Part One, click here. Part Two is here. Really hoped I'd be able to grab an hour or two of sleep before the sun rose over Le Mans. Dark dark dark, couldn't figure out what was going on. Commentators struggled at times as well. But I couldn't do it. Endurance racing is just too exciting. Grabs my attention with both fists. Screams, "watch these men DRIVE!" A neighbor invited me over for drinks. Told him, "Can't do it, gotta watch Le Mans!" Maybe not exactly. I'll admit, at times my attention wandered. I did a load of laundry. Ate some snacks. Half listened to the commentary. Threw a hump at my wife. I learned that Patrick Long, driving #88, is big brother to Kevin "Spanky" Long. Spanky's a bit of a legend in the skate world. Always weird how top notch talent can run in families like that. Kind of surprised I've never heard that before. Worked for a skate mag for a years, met Spanky a handful of times. Someone must've told me that he has an older brother who drives race cars. Dash cams at night are scary. High powered headlights in the P1s reach almost 300 meters. Cars outrun that distance easy. Seems like they're just steering into the black and hoping for the best. But that can't be the case. People'd be dropping dead let and right. Very amused by how the guys in GT are like, "Dude, stop flashing your fucking lights before you pass." But the LMP's are all, "Suck a dick! I do what I want." Top three stayed neck and neck nearly all night long. As the sun gets ready to creep back over the horizon the top three are separated by only eleven and a half seconds. Toyota 5 and 6, Porsche 2. Audi 8 is two laps behind Porsche, beleaguered 7 is dealing with constant trouble eleven laps from the front. GTE Pro sees Ferrari 82 in first, Ford 68 and 69 right behind. To win you've gotta drive perfect, build perfect. Fours cars retired so far. I'm beginning to appreciate the endurance aspect a little more fully. Only really considered the drivers at first. The mental and physical stress driving these cars at these speeds at length would inflict. But keeping the damn things running is the real deal. To win you've gotta drive perfect, build perfect.
Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
Chris Harris pits Fiesta ST against Mercedes G63 AMG in 0-60 battle... sort of
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Vehicle performance tests are serious business, with reputations made or broken by things like braking distance, top speed, and lateral g-forces. King of the metrics, though, is the 0-60 run, which for unknown reasons has become the benchmark for what truly makes a car a performance machine.
Now, Chris Harris from Drive has turned the whole idea behind the sprint to 60 on its ear. Taking a new Ford Fiesta ST, Harris asks a simple question: would the ST be quicker to 60 on its own, or on a trailer being towed by a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG?
It's a fair question, really. The Fiesta Harris tested hit 60 in 7.2 seconds on a slightly uphill section of runway. It should be noted that Harris quotes his ST at 182 horsepower, which is about 15 ponies less than what we're getting in the US, so these numbers might not hold up all that well against an American model. The G63 AMG, meanwhile, is a 536-horsepower monster, powered by a twin-turbo V8 that, able to propel the big SUV to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds without towing a Fiesta.
