I have decided to sell my 1964 Galaxie 500...I bought this car from the original owners daughter back in 2009 and drove it on the trailer. This car had been taken care of very well since it was purchased new in Lexington South Carolina on 7-3-64. I have a copy of the original bill of sale as well as the window sticker. This car is a very solid survivor that can be enjoyed as is or restored very easily. The car was re-painted around 1989 due to some small damage to the passenger door. The paint is showing its age and some of the trim was not taped up very well but I like it this way...you know exactly what you are getting. There are a few spots of rust at the back window and where the top meets the body on the passenger side (see photos). There is a small hole in the trunk under the spare tire. But the amazing thing is that the floors, rockers, quarters, and the rest of the body is RUST FREE! This car has the original carpet in it, it also has the original head liner and visors in it. This car was garage or shed kept its entire life. It has true dual exhaust with the huge mufflers in the rear qtrs....it is very quiet. I have done some mechanical upgrades so I could get in a drive the car without worries and I will list all of them below but this car is as original as you ever want to get. It is a true "Z" code 390, 300HP, 3 speed on the column, Raven Black, Red interior, 1964 Galaxie 500. You will not find another car that is more complete and original with this combination anywhere. I have had my fun... now it is time to pass it on to someone else to enjoy.
This car is by no means perfect.....it has a few bumps and bruises but it is extremely solid and is a great car to have. I am reluctant to sell but I feel like now is the time to move on to something else.
Here are all of the mechanical things I have done to the car...trying to keep it as original as possible.
New plugs, wires, cap, rotor button with Petronics electronic ignition (got rid of the points)
New exhaust manifold gasket and donut on drivers side
Rebuilt Autolite 4100 factory 4 Barrel
Rebuilt Clutch / Brake petal assembly (all new bushings)
New Heater core with defrost hoses
New Master Cylinder
All new brakes in front (Shoes, springs, cylinders, rotors turned)
New rubber brake lines on front
I removed the original foam padding on the inside of the firewall and installed Dynamat sheets.
Rebuilt radiator (it actually came out of an automatic car and the trans cooler is plugged)
KYB Shocks on all 4 corners
New Motor mounts
I swapped the original 14" steel wheels for 15's...5.5" up front and 6" in the rear...the tires are 205/75's and 235 / 75's
63 Ford dog dish caps
Changed the trans and differential fluids
New Fuel pump
New seal in tail of trans
Speaker in dash has been rebuilt
New clutch and pressure plate (still in box....needs to be installed)
Front seat is a 64 Galaxie seat but it is not the original seat...I have the original seat but it needs to be recovered.
What the car needs....
It marks it's spot every where you park it...I am guessing the rear main seal...
Clutch and pressure plate assembly needs to be installed..
Front brakes need to be adjusted again....sometimes it pulls to the right...
I may have missed a few things but you get the idea, I just drove this car on a 2 hour trip 3 days ago and it performed flawlessly.
Let me know if you would like to see some other pictures of have a specific question. The reserve on this car is very fair so bid with confidence.
Thanks

Are we about to see a real SUV revival?
Wed, Mar 23 2016Now that the marketplace has been oversaturated with cute-utes, crossovers, and CUV coupes, are we about to see a resurgence of real, honest-to-God SUVs? Ummm... maybe. The stars seem to be aligning in that direction, at least that's the sense I'm getting. We know an all-new Jeep Wrangler is only a few auto shows away; and that Jeep is about to introduce a new Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for 2017, in the same rugged spirit of the successful Cherokee and Renegade Trailhawks. Ford has hinted at a neo-Bronco, after showing the concept above in 2014 to wet the mouths of all those Duck Dynasty-types out there. And, and... wait for it... I recently learned that Subaru sent a questionnaire out to some Forester owners asking if they might be interested in an off-road package if it were offered. The items listed were pretty hardcore, serious stuff, such as: integrated tow/recovery hooks, additional ground clearance, more rugged wheels, skid plates, altimeter, front-view off-road camera, improved approach and departure angles, advanced differentials, Inclinometer, full-size spare tire, upgraded off-road suspension components, more aggressive tires, off-road driving mode (engine, transmission, throttle, and steering settings), more rugged styling, low-range gearing, and a more advanced traction management system. Folks that's not my wish list (well, actually it is), but those are words from Subaru, asking if that's what customers would like to see. Need proof? Go to the SubaruForester.org website. It's in a discussion there. So... no promises or guarantees here, and feel free to call me a rumormonger if you like; but the next few years could prove very interesting for those who actually do go off road. If this pans out, remember, you read it here first. Related Video: Image Credit: Ford Ford Jeep Subaru Crossover SUV Off-Road Vehicles open road
Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan
Sat, Aug 13 2022As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.
