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

Lego provides one of the cheapest ways to own a Bugatti Chiron
Tue, Jan 3 2017Just over a month ago, we got a look at one of the latest Lego Speed Champions sets when Ford revealed the GT and GT40 kit. Now we get to see the rest of the lineup, and it's chock full of F1 and supercar goodness. The official Lego images show that the Bugatti Chiron, Mercedes-AMG GT3, Ferrari FXX K, and F1 cars from Ferrari and Mercedes all made the cut. Each set gets some unique features and most include interchangeable wheel covers. The Chiron comes with some tiny cones suitable for desk slaloms and the Mercedes-AMG GT3 gets an alternate nose. The FXX K comes has the most impressive selection of accessories, though, as it includes a dyno and engine run stand. The F1 sets are divided similarly, but with Mercedes getting more extras. The Brick Fan also reports that the Mercedes kit may be exclusive to select stores. The Ferrari kit only comes with a starting light, but the Mercedes set includes a garage, starting lights, and winner's circle. It'll be up to you whether you put Hamilton or Rosberg in that winner's circle. According to The Brick Fan, these kits are set for release in winter 2017. Since the Ford GT set has a release of March 1, we expect the rest will hit stores in the next couple of months. They're sure to be great additions to anyone's existing Lego garage.

2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed
Wed, Jan 21 2015The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.

Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan
Tue, 26 Nov 2013Back in September, Ford announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan, which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus. These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger, Chevy Impala, Chevy Caprice and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below, and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.
