A really nice survivor here , 1964 Ford galaxie 500 289 v8 auto w/ 89k orig miles....This is a turn key cruiser that only needs minor touches to be perfect , it was a southern car that was brought to the northeast only a couple years ago and it shows , the frame and under carriage on this car is super clean and straight..

The motor is the factory 289ci v8 and it purrs like a kitten , its soo quiet that if you didn't hear the exhaust note you couldn't tell it was running...The motor was rebuilt aprox a year ago and has right around 1000 miles on it since , i have the paper work and warranty for it in hand, just reach in turn the key and it fires instantly ..The engine bay is very clean and tidy looks like new , still retains the factory generator and it works good, along all the original components.. Anything that needed help was rebuilt when the motor was rebuilt..
The automatic transmission was also rebuilt at the same time and i have the paperwork for that too, it shifts like new and is like new....
The interior is clean and the seats are in excellent condition , rug is like new , dash is perfect . all interior lights work , all windows go up and down with ease , everything functions on this car , wipers , horn , directionals , Heater , am radio , Lights , hi and low beam, its like a time capsule and a pleasure to drive really..
The exterior body is also in great shape for the year , it don't have any major spots to speak of really , maybe a Very minor bubble here and there..All the stainless is there and in good shape ,has the original hub caps , along with really good tread on the tires..The trunk pan is great and has One Minor spot about the size of a dime and that is it , the rest of trunk pan is solid and nice not all rusted or punky at all..The frame rails and floors are super nice and clean , the frame looks it probably did in 1964 ,this is no rust bucket by any means...

The car runs , drives stops , and goes over the bumps great , its not a rattle box , has newer shocks , all brakes have been done, suspension is tight  and can be driven anywhere ..We just recently drove the car on a couple hundred mile trip without a hiccup..


Now the bad... The headliner needs some work there is a section that is bad..The bottoms of the front door panels need some material replaced or fixed ,and the rear bumper has a hole in it that has been fixed...

Like i said  the car came from down south and i have the Alabama plate still in the trunk along with a folder of paperwork ..

Great cruiser to take the family out for a night on the town and just cruise while you tinker with it...


The car is being sold as-is , I make no guarantee as to the condition of the vehicle , obviously if my description is way off i wont hold you to it..On that note i allow inspections, any time you would like to come see it just call me my number is at the bottom of the ad..By bidding on this car you agreeing that you are satisfied with the condition of the vehicle and agree to my terms..No warranty expressed or implied , either written or verbal.I try to be as honest about these cars as humanly possible but small things may slip my mind , if they come up i will update the ad...No major discrepancies have been left out i assure you...

Call or text Earl @ 413-212-2091 to come see the car or any other questions... Thanks and have a nice day...

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

Ford sued over alleged 3.5-liter EcoBoost defects

Thu, 16 May 2013

Three Ford owners from Ohio have filed a lawsuit against the automaker over defects that they allege exist within the company's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine. Automotive News reports that the lawsuit claims the engine "contained serious latent design, manufacturing, or assembly defects." Those defects, the suit claims, cause the vehicle to shake, misfire and lose power quickly.
Two of the plaintiffs, a married couple, own a 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, and allege they experienced a loss of power and stalling, while the third, an F-150 owner, claims he lost power while accelerating. In addition to the Taurus SHO and F-150, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine is also available in the Ford Flex, Explorer Sport and Lincoln MKT and MKS. Other three- and four-cylinder EcoBoost engines are not included in the suit. There have been no recalls associated with 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is currently not investigating the matter.
The plaintiffs, however, claim Ford has known about the problem, citing several technical service bulletins issued to dealers of the F-150 that suggest possible fixes. Ford had no comment for Automotive News, saying that it's yet to review the lawsuit, which was filed last Friday in Columbus, OH.

The big dune jump and the damage done

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
