Offering for sale at no reserve (as usual) one 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. This car is 50 years old this year! It looks like it has never had any work done on the body except where we fixed some rock chips and a small rust spot in the left rear quarter - a mud trap area and years before it was parked the right fender had been replaced and painted. The paint on the right fender is chipping now. The floors and trunk look good showing original paint and no surface rust. The motor is a 289 that has 200 miles on a complete overhaul including new .040 over pistons, turned the crank .010-.010 and all new cam,lifters,valve job etc. Even put new belts,hoses,starter,bypass hose,heater hoses,water pump and thermostat. This is not a rering job outback under the apple tree! The motor runs smooth with plenty of power (it's no hot rod, but, surprisingly, has a lot of get up and go). This car has power enough to pass cars in short order even though the motor built to stock specs. Really surprised me. We replaced the muffler. The tires are new (we have driven them less that 200 miles). The seats, carpet, and headliner are new. Wheel cylinders new with remanufactured brake linings and wheel bearings repacked.This is one of those cars that will probably be good for another 50 years with a little attention to the exterior. This car is just the thing to take the grand kids to the zoo. We have gone through this cars major mechanics. The only things I know to do is the blower motor switch does not work. The speedometer jumps when extremely cold and the gas guage reads 3/4 when it is actually full but goes way below empty. Drives and rides smooth as silk. Can be picked up and driven home anywhere and I would not be afraid of it. This was a true barn find from an old farmer in Scott City in dry climate western Kansas who last plated it in 1977 due to a miss in the motor that he could not get out. I originally was going to part it out but the car was so solid and original that I could not bring myself to do it (we generally do not restore 4drs). After finding the miss in the motor (a broken compression ring on cylinder # 5) we just pulled it apart and completely overhauled the motor,clutch,brakes and most of the interior. New windshield and back glass gaskets,headliner,carpet and NORS fairlane (not galaxie) seat covers. When we stripped the interior the floors were amazing having original paint on therm. Everything we replaced in the interior was due to age and being dried up from sitting. Could use new door gaskets due to being flattened from age but the car feels and sounds tight. You cannot buy a car this solid and do what has been done to it for the low reserve price we have on it.
Selling with intention of needing restoration of rest of minor components.
It has a good title.
The car can be stored here for up to 6 months - after that we will come up with a monthly fee.
Possible delivery if you are within 400 miles of central Kansas south or west for a fee.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
If you would like a better look at anything we can send more pictures.
We expect payment within 5 working days of the end of the auction.

Ford leads top searched-for car brands on Google in 2014

Mon, Dec 22 2014

With less than two weeks until 2014 takes its final bow, anyone and everyone is looking back on the past 50 or so weeks to see how they stacked up. For search giant Google, that means its time to check out its annual Trends report. Besides the most popular search term (the late, great Robin Williams), the most searched for gadget (the iPhone 6) and most searched for disease symptoms (quite worryingly, Ebola took the crown here), we have the most searched for automaker. With the long-awaited sixth-generation of one of America's most iconic vehicles, the Mustang, and a ground-breaking update for the US market's perennial best seller, the F-Series, it should come as no surprise at all that Ford was Google's most searched for automaker in 2014. Jeep captured second place, while Dodge, took third. We suspect introducing a pair of cars with 707 horsepower had something to do with that bronze medal... Scroll down to see the rest of this year's most searched for automakers, and then head into Comments and let us know if you're surprised by any of these. This content is hosted by a third party.

Ford C-Max sales hold steady despite fuel economy fracas

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Despite the ballyhoo that accompanied Ford's lowering of the C-Max fuel economy figures, the Blue Oval is still seeing strong demand for the five-seat MPV, as Automotive News reports. Speaking to marketing boss Jim Farley, AN says that the controversy surrounding the C-Max's fuel economy figures won't force Ford to change its marketing strategy.
Ford lowered the fuel economy rating of the C-Max after public outcry and legal action by customers that were unable to reach the 47 miles per gallon promised by the window sticker. The new ratings were dropped about a month ago to 45 mpg on the freeway and 40 mpg in the city. Ford offered rebates for current C-Max owners, with $550 going to those that bought their car and $325 to lessees. The issue, says Ford, stemmed from testing standards that allowed the automaker to base the C-Max's fuel economy on the Fusion Hybrid, because they use identical powertrains. The C-Max's less aerodynamic shape wasn't taken into account, though.
Whether Ford's PR team handled the crises perfectly or people just aren't that bothered by a four-mpg drop in combined ratings, demand remains strong for the C-Max among consumers. Ford moved 3,000 units in August, which was a 12-percent jump over July sales. Meanwhile, consumer demand through third-party shopping websites remains strong as well, according to Autometrics, a data analysis company that spoke with Automotive News. While the long-term effects of the adjustments remain unknown, the C-Max appears to have fared well in the near term.

Ford EcoBoost smashes records at Daytona

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

Some mighty machines have lapped the banks of the Daytona International Speedway over the years: thunderous V8-powered stock cars, Le Mans-conquering Group C prototypes, open-wheel Champ Cars, knee-dragging superbikes... heck, the infield lake has even hosted powerboat racing. But this - this is the fastest car ever to lap the legendary raceway.
What you're looking at is the new Daytona Prototype being prepared by Riley Technologies for the new United SportsCar Championship. The car, released just last week, is powered by a new 3.5-liter turbocharged V6 from Ford's EcoBoost family, and just obliterated the top speed at the track with a blistering 222.971 miles per hour through the traps.
That's enough to annihilate the previous record that was set, also under Ford power, by Bill Elliott while placing his Thunderbird on pole for the 1987 Daytona 500 that he would go on to win. His 210.364 mph record had stood for 26 years until now.
