1964 Galaxie 500 Hard Top 352 Fe Auto Four Barrel Solid Original Car Show Ready on 2040-cars

What you are looking at would be considered a survivor,
original, lightly cleaned up or preserved car.
This stunning 1964 Galaxie has had the black paint redone and some other
things cleaned up. But it hasn’t been
restored. It runs, shifts, drives and
acts like a new car. If you can
remember riding in a new 64 Galaxie, this would be really darn close. Just closing the doors, hood and trunk on
this car feels right. Everything works
as it should. Driving to a show today I
decided to try the cigarette lighter and that even worked! This car gets as much positive attention as
my 390 Tripower car. I have stock cars,
powerful cars, even a nitrous breathing Mustang. This 64 Galaxie for sale is a factory 352 4V
car. It’s not a race car…it’s even
better. There is something so nice about
getting behind the wheel of this car.
The motor is snappy. It runs so
smooth, powerful and so easy. This car
is a cruiser. My other 64 is a 390
stroker, aluminum headed 5 speed trip car.
It’s desirable, it’s fast, it’s fun.
I will tell you that driving this black 352 64 is even better. It’s calming, pleasant, and a blast. Something about pulling up to the light with
just some sweet sounding pipes, its low profile and great looks is even better
than being in my cammed up beast cars.
This car takes the cake for cruising.
You can load up the family and hit the local show to get a trophy. It’s that kind of reliable drive anyplace
car. Tap the key and this lively 352 FE
will snap to life. Put it into gear and
she shifts perfectly like it should. It’s
smooth and will put a smile on your face when you hear those big heads
breathing through the factory H pipe into a set of Magnaflow glass packs. When we did the heads and looked in the cylinders there were
still honing marks from the factory.
This car has no exhaust leaks, no oil leaks, doesn’t use or burn oil,
all around perfect running 352 that sits around 175-190*. Today I went for a ride, its 90* out. When I came back to check the temp, we were
sitting at 188* on the coolant.
Impressive! Why am I selling
it? It’s painful to actually consider
letting her go. However I was able to
line up one of my favorite cars and my first car. A 1960 9 passenger County Sedan. I need the money and space to do the
wagon. So this sweet 64 needs to
go. Also I need to give my wife’s
Mustang a bit more attention as well. Below and in all the pictures I am going to highlight what
should be important to anyone who is buying a classic. I have done many cars and even sold a
handful. 100% of the feedback has been
along the lines of people telling me I described the car perfectly or that the
car is nicer than I described. I kind of
like to under promise and over deliver.
I am not fast eddy the used car salesman. I am just a guy who is addicted to what we
call the classic car hobby. I live,
breath and love old cars. Save the hobby
and the cars is what I do. Please see
the good, the not perfect and the beauty of this 64 Galaxie 500. This car was built 10.31.1963 (yes, Halloween) I have the original manual with the original owner’s info
from the dealer where the car was purchased new. It even came with a woman’s guide to good
driving (I’m not being sexist, it was there along with the manual J) The paint on the roof is 100% original; most of the black
has been redone. The black paint isn’t
perfect but sure does shine. There are still the "Paint OK" stamps under the hood. Clearly these fenders have never been off! The interior has a small spot that needs fixed on the top of
the seat. I was going to have the front
seat redone but it would be a crime to touch the original seats for just one
spot. Everything works as it should. Lights, lighter, wipers, signals, reverse
lights, heater, AM radio works and the horn works. Actually the only thing that doesn’t work
perfectly is the fuel gauge. I will get
in and fix it – it’s a common problem in the sending unit. I bet I have a new sending unit on the shelf. New parts just installed in the past 500 miles: Idler arm bushing Tuned Edelbrock 600 CFM 4 barrel Hipo style air cleaner (you get the stock one too but it
isn’t good for flow at all) Fresh C4AE-6090-G heads.
These heads freaking flow! New intake and exhaust gaskets 160* thermostat (huge decrease in temp that makes all FE
motors happy) Brad Penn Synthetic high Zinc 10/40 oil Exhaust manifolds have been high temp powder coated factory
cast color Valve covers have been powder coated factory 64 352 Old Ford
Blue (looks brand new and way better than paint) Fan shield powder coated correct black New caution and 352 stickers. (I did put 352 hipo stickers on the valve
covers. They can come off without
harming the covers. Even though they are
for a 60 hipo, I think they look great on this car) The 352 was a 4.0 bore by 3.5 stroke. Some of these engines were ho hum and some
were great. This motor has factory flat
top pistons. Matching that with the C4AE
6090-G heads really makes this car get up and go if it needs to. The 4v Edelbrock has proven to be a great
carb. It has made this 64 run much
better than it did with the 4100. On one
of my other cars, an Edlebrock made 18 more HP and gained me 3 MPG over a
holley. This was a stock 428 motor and
JUST by bolting this carb on I was able to see the gains on the dyno and at the
pump. You will love the 352 FE with this
Edelbrock! I can include a Ford 4100
that needs rebuilt for you Ford parts only purists. Everything on this car besides the carb and the air filter
is set up like factory. Even the vacuum
set up, kick down, everything is just way it should be. This car sounds good, looks good, works good,
drives good, runs good, and gets good attention. It’s easy to drive. My wife can go out to the car cold, start it
and head out without an issue. Vin Tag Body = 63B Color = AM Trim = 75 Date = 31K Axle = 1 Trans = 4 VIN = 4P66X121252 Breakdown of the vin: Body = 63B (2 Door Fastback) Color = AM (Raven Black/Wimbledon White) (Paint codes 1724
and 1619) Trim = 75 (Red) Date = 31K (October 31st) Axle = 1 (3.00:1) Trans = 4 (Cruise-O-Matic) VIN = 4P66X121252 (4 is the year, P = was built in Twin City,
66 = two door fastback, X = 352 Thunderbird Special 4v, the rest is
constructive number built (this car is number 21,252 produced). It’s nice to see an actual two tone 64 Galaxie. They were not as common as you would think
(or see since so many people do a white roof when restoring). Please contact me before you bid if you have less than 10 positive feedback. If you have less than 10 I have to cancel your bit. I just cant waste time with people who are not looking to buy this car! HERE IS A VIDEO AND 100 MORE PICTURES OF THE CAR!

Ford Gets The Aluminum F-150 Ready For Prime Time
Wed, Nov 12 2014Russell Barnett, a Ford dealer in Tennessee, is ready for aluminum. Ford is using the metal almost exclusively in body of the 2015 version of its best-selling F-150 pickup, which starts arriving at dealerships next month. Barnett is already answering customers' questions about the truck. And he's updated his repair shop not only for the F-150, but in anticipation that other Ford brands such as the Mustang will eventually make the switch from steel. But, just in case, he ordered some extra steel-bodied 2014 pickups. "There will be some people who won't want to change for a while," says Barnett, who says pickups make up around half of the annual sales at his dealership in rural Winchester. Ford is doubling down on aluminum, which is lighter - and more expensive - than steel but just as tough. The new truck is the company's response to customers' requests for a more fuel-efficient and nimbler pickup. Fordhopes the advantages outweigh customer doubts about the durability of aluminum or potential repair costs for the pricier metal. It's a big risk. So far this year, one out of every three vehicles Ford sold in the U.S. was an F-Series pickup. Morgan Stanley estimates F-Series trucks account for 90 percent of Ford's global automotive profit. On Tuesday, it kicked off production of the new truck at its Dearborn Truck Plant, four miles from the company's headquarters. "Yeah, this is a risk, but it's one well worth taking." said Bill Ford, the company's executive chairman, as he stood alongside the assembly line. "For our customer, this is a big, big leap forward." The trucks have been the best-selling vehicles in the U.S. for 32 straight years; last year, Ford sold nearly 100,000 more full-size pickups than General Motors. Aluminum isn't new to the auto industry, but this is the first time it will cover the entire body of such a high-volume vehicle. Ford made 647,697 F-150 pickups at its two U.S. plants last year; that's one every 49 seconds. If Ford's bet pays off, it could pad its lead in the lucrative truck market. More importantly, aluminum "future proofs" the truck - and the company - in an era of rising fuel economy standards, says Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with Kelley Blue Book. Ford will announce the truck's fuel economy figures later this month. That could determine if it steals customers away from the Silverado or Ram. Truck buyers are among the most loyal in the auto market.
The big dune jump and the damage done
Mon, 20 May 2013The Silver Lake sand dunes see their fair share of well-built trophy trucks executing impressive jumps. Drivers build insane pieces of machinery for the express purpose of sailing through the air like mad men and women.
Mike Higgins is no stranger to the area. His heavily modified Ford trophy truck has gone flying through the sky on more than one occasion, but he recently bit off more than he could chew. After hitting a particularly lofty dune, Higgins went airborne for a ridiculous 180 feet before becoming intimately familiar with the finer points of gravity.
While Higgins nailed the jump, his landing fell short of wowing the judges. The impact very nearly broke his truck in two. Despite the mechanical mayhem, the driver walked away without a scratch, proving that occasionally miracles really do happen. You can check out the jump and the subsequent destruction below for yourself. Be warned: there's a fair bit of foul language.
Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
