1964 Ford Galaxie Xl on 2040-cars
Wentzville, Missouri, United States
|
This car is a driver, not a show car. This last winter I had a shop light fall onto the car, and put a visible scratch on the passenger side near the rear window. There's paint bubbles on both rear quarters. They're small to me, but I'm not a body man. The radio antenna will need to be replaced, it's broke near the base. There is a small dent in the hood where the carburator nut hit it. There's also some scratches on the rear window where someone used a non plastic scrapper to clean the window. From checking into fixing it, I do believe that they can be removed, but I have not tried it yet. The horn has a loose wire or broken contact that I haven't found yet. Mileage showing is 54,409 which I'm guessing is not correct. I have owned the car for approximately 11 years from the papers I found. The car is not driven in the rain, or in the winter. For the past several years I probably haven't put on more that a couple hundred miles on it. So It's time to sell the car. When I purchased the car I had the radiator redone, along with the top area. I put on a new gas tank, fan shroud, and new rubbers seals under the hood to get a good flow of air running under the hood. New trunk mat. Both the front and rear bumpers were re-chromed. This last winter new brake lines, master cylinder, brake adjusters and cylinders were replaced. I did have some work done on the engine, and transmission by another mechanic. These are the items that I had installed. High flow oil pump. New Oil pan. Edelbrock double roller timing chain and gears. Schneider performance hydraulic cam shaft. Sealed power hydraulic lifters. Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads. Edelbrock performer intake. Set of Crane push rods. Harlan Sharp rocker arms. Demon Carburator Chrome air cleaner and valve covers. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt C6 with a shift kit, 1800 stall torque converter. Dual exhaust with Flo-Pro Mufflers. The car drives very good, and cruises great on the highway. Currently the car is riding on B F Goodrich TA Tires. The mags are 15 inch Cragar SS. Along with the car I'll be including the original tires and 6 hub caps that the car had when I got it. Any questions please send them by way of ebay. By the way this is the first item I have sold on ebay so I'm learning my way through the system. I will check often for any messages, so there should be little down time in my response. I want the new owner to enjoy this car and to be happy with the purchase, so no question is to small. I'm selling only in the United States. |

And the Top Gear UK Cars of the Year for 2013 are...
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Those loony Brits at Top Gear have named their Car of the Year, and if you're thinking it's the McLaren P1, Jaguar F-Type, Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Rolls-Royce Wraith, we're sorry to inform you that none of those Anglo automobiles earned the crown. In fact, the winner of Top Gear's most prestigious award is quite the surprise.
Of course, those cars weren't without their own awards. The P1 was the top hypercar (sorry, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari), while the F-Type netted best convertible and the Range Rover Sport was voted SUV of the Year. Other honorable mentions included the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black and S-Class, the Porsche 911 GT3, the BMW i3 and the Ferrari 458 Speciale. The winner, though, wasn't even a high-dollar supercar. It was the Ford Fiesta ST.
Yes, the Fiesta ST beat out some off-the-wall cars like the revolutionary Volkswagen XL1 and the bonkers Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak, not to mention all the cars we listed above, to take the title of Top Gear Car of the Year. And if you've driven one, you'll completely understand why.
Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]
Mon, 09 Jun 2014Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.
A tribute to William Clay Ford
Tue, 11 Mar 2014The passing of William Clay Ford has been a big event for the company he spent most of his life helping run. Ford spent 57 years working for his family's company. Considering the Blue Oval has been around for over 100 years, WCF's passing is the end of an era for the Dearborn-based manufacturer.
Ford's YouTube channel has issued a short memorial video highlighting the life of the longest-lived grandson of company founder Henry Ford. It follows William Clay from his time as a boy, showing him alongside his grandfather, through his younger years, and into his twilight, as the patriarch of the Ford family.
Take a look below for this touching memorial video on William Clay Ford.
