1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Conv , I have near $15,000 in this car to start with so I'm most likely gonna take a loss selling it.... I built it to cruise to local shows and for photo shoots.... I've owned the car for 2 years and spent the time working on it, I have a clean VA Title in my name.

New & Rebuilt Parts Consisting of:

Rebuilt 352, has reworked 390 heads (all correct 1964 galaxie parts), Car has a mild Comp Cam, Edelbrock Aluminum dual plain intake, Edelbrock 600 Carb, Aluminum Coolant Fill Jug, Aluminum Radiator, Everything in the motor was replaced except the actual pistons (they were re-ringed), I had the original exhaust manifolds plained to seal tight (didn't feel need to spend 5-600 on headers) Reused the points Distributor as it works w/ no issues and car starts w/ a few pumps of the gas and a turn of the key...  Motor has under 500 miles on it, only real issue is I believe the rear main is leaking, we put a new one in but it must not have seated right

Rebuilt Cruise-o-matic Transmission, was rebuilt this year and has under 150 miles on it

New(er) Top, was replaced last year so it's new but is a year old, still looks good as it should, has the plastic back window, had no power to the top switch so I disconnected the hydrolic cylinders, it's being used as a  manual top, it goes up and down easily
New Windshield (including Gasket)
New True Dual Exhaust w/ Performance Mufflers, has a real nice street rod sound but not too much to overkill
New Disc Brake setup on front, upgraded to power brakes, rear brakes rebuilt (reused drums only as they are good), Stainless Brake lines
New Gas Tank, Sending unit, fuel lines (sending unit has a bad connection so fuel gauge isn't currently working)
New Power Steering Pump, Cylinder (the shock like part), one of the steering hoses started leaking so I pulled the belt for it, its just power assist so it drives as a manual steer w/o it... not that bad

I have been through the cars drivetran from front to back now just needing fine tuning stuff, Needs cosmetics or drive it as is......

Paint on car is Teal Primer so its a flat teal color, original color is Robin egg blue as seen in the image of the trunk.  The inside of the car is white Vinyl w/ blue plush inserts, its an older interior so its showing its age, its starting to pull at the seams etc... The car is now at the point that someone can make it their own, your colors your theme

Wheels are Cragar SS Rims, Fronts are 15x6 and the rears are 17x8, all in good shape but not new

Big questions to answer ahead of time, Rust......  it's a 1964 that is not a garage queen so it has had some spots Trunk is solid and Floors (floors may have had repairs years ago but I cannot tell it they have been w/o removing the carpets) , the only underside rust I found to be significant is in the top well (between the quarter panel and the interior paneling), I have put a heavy rubber mat in the area but it does need repaired, the lips on the inside of the quarters have some but most all body work has been done to the car, it wasn't a rust queen when I got it, just needed help,

REASON FOR SELLING:  I have a 57 Chevy in my Driveway that I want to build, I cannot build it until I sell something... and cannot sell my truck cause I need it

INCLUDED WITH CAR, is another hood, as the one on the car has a slight bend to the driver side front corner, Steering gear box, one in the car has some play in it, I have another one thats tighter, Turn signal switch w/ all the wires that attach. Door Gaskets/ other misc...  The passenger side brake light / signal does not work on rear... I ran a jumper wire from the Driver side so that it has brake lights, was told it was the switch.  There are some other nick knack parts that go with the car, tail light assemblies and other stuff that'll fit in the trunk for shipping purposes, if needed I can swap the hood prior to shipping, at this point it will only come w/ the replacement hood and not the one pictured on the car,

American automakers fall in latest Fortune 500 rankings

Fri, 10 May 2013

Not that it means anything beyond bragging rights, but if you're fixated on the positions of domestic automakers on the annual Fortune 500 list, both General Motors and Ford are still on it but they've slipped a couple of notches. The list ranks American companies and they're ordered solely by revenue. GM, fifth last year, came in seventh, while Ford fell from ninth to tenth even though both companies saw small gains in annual revenue.
GM's $152.3 billion in revenue was less than a third of that of the first company on the list: Wal-Mart, which regained the title from Exxon Mobil. Berkshire Hathaway and Apple are the firms that moved GM down. Ford, displaced by energy company Valero, had $134.3 billion in revenue.
On a side note, profitability isn't a factor, but both GM and Ford were down in this year's list compared to last year's: GM declined from $9.2 billion to $6.2 billion, Ford fell from $20.2 billion to $5.6 billion. If profits were included, Exxon Mobil would probably still be king: although the energy company made almost $20 billion less in revenue than Wal-Mart's $469.2 billion, it posted $44.9 billion in profit compared to Wal-Mart's $17 billion.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).

2013 Ford F-150 Limited

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

The Ford F-150 received yet another new model for the 2013 model year, the Limited trim, bringing the ways you can order this country's most popular vehicle to a grand total of 10. There really is an F-150 to suit any need now, and the Limited variant slots in at the very top of the range, above the already pampering Platinum model.
While normally I would admit that I'm the least-appropriate person to test a pickup, the fact that this particular trim places a much higher premium on luxury than anything with a bed and Blue Oval badge before it means that I don't need the workman chops of a skilled tradesman to judge how well this truck meets its true aim.
