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. |

Ford brings FPV Falcon production in house [w/video]
Thu, 21 Feb 2013For the first time since 1976, Ford of Australia is bringing the assembly of its stonking Ford Performance Vehicle line back in-house to the company's Broadmeadows and Geelong facilities. That's a point of pride for FPV, which builds high-performance versions of the Australian Falcon model like the F6, GS and the heroic GT seen here.
In the video below, we hear FPV employees talking in hushed tones about the important legacy that cars like the GT have for Australian gearheads of all stripes, and how proud they are to say that hand-built machines like this GT R-Spec with its Boss 355 engine are now rolling out of their home base. For our part, we're just dying to drive this version of the Coyote V8; the engine is rocking a "Miami" supercharger from Harrop and makes some 450 horsepower.
Continue on below for the video, or you can check out some images of the new FPV at the facility, as well as a gallery of the GT R-Spec car.
Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.
2015 Ford Mustang prototype spotted on the street
Mon, 10 Jun 2013Our trusty spy photographers have snapped the first photos of the 2015 Ford Mustang prototype out on public streets. With nearly every square inch of the machine covered in heavy camouflage, it's difficult to discern details, but we can see smallish horizontal headlamps at work in the coupe's nose. Ford has made it clear that modern lighting technology will allow the company to get away from large, expensive headlamp arrays in the near future, and the 2015 Mustang may very well be the first of the automaker's products to bow with the new tech. The philosophy was first displayed on the very attractive Evos Concept.
The extensive cladding doesn't extend all the way to the prototype's rockers in the instance, giving us a look at the heavily-sculpted sills. Overall, this test car looks considerably smaller than the current generation Mustang, and elements like a short front overhang and beefy dual-piston calipers give us plenty of hope for the future model. Of course, reports that the 2015 Mustang will bow with an independent rear suspension and EcoBoost power certainly don't hurt our feelings, either.
