1964 Ford Galaxie Fastback Drag Car, this car is not street legal so please don't ask.
Engine: 460 bored .30 with D0VE heads ported and polished
Transmission: 4500 Stall Converter ,C6 with shift kit, B&M shifter
Rearend: 9 inch 5:00 gears with mini spool
Front suspension: Stock but I put new springs from a 1964 Ford air conditioner station wagon to support the big block
Rear suspension: It has the traction bar setup from Crites Restoration (like what the NHRA used back in the day) and the shocks are mounted for coil over springs. The leaf springs are still there because the coil overs have not been mounted yet. It would be very easy to finish.
Body: This is an older paint job and the hood would need to be painted again as the clear started to peel off. Lexan glass has been installed everywhere except for the windsheild which is stock. The front bumper is a fiberglass one purchased from Crites Restoration while the rear bumper is original. Hood, deck lid, and all the trim pieces are original as well.
Time: The car runs 7.50's in the 1/8 mile.
I won a lot of races with this car including 5 races the first year I ran it and won the points championship and the Gold Card Shootout at my home track.
It does need some work, the passenger side axle broke the last time it was ran but I do have the replacement axle that goes with the car and would be simple to fix. The headers are rusted and would need to be replaced. Everything else is in working order and the car starts up and runs fine. I would replace the Lexan in the car as it is 10 years old and looks cloudy, (maybe someone knows how to buff this out but I was unable to do so). Look at the pictures and ask any questions as I am sure I left something out.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang is a lean, mean, Z/28-fighting machine [w/video]
Mon, 17 Nov 2014If there's one thing you can count on, it's that the renewed rivalry between the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro will never, ever cease. For every version of Ford's pony car, there's an equally potent Chevrolet. And so with the debut of the Camaro Z/28 earlier this year, Ford has responded with a track-focused 'Stang of its own, resurrecting the Shelby GT350 name.
It looks to be a fine piece of work, this Mustang, with power coming from a naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V8 that will produce "more than 500 horsepower" and "above 400" pound-feet of torque. That grunt runs to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission, and a Torsen limited-slip differential keeps everything in line.
But that's hardly the most impressive piece of the GT350 puzzle. Ford has increased the Mustang GT's chassis stiffness for duty here in the Shelby, and the coupe employs MagneRide damping which automatically adjusts based on road conditions and driver inputs. It's a first both for the Blue Oval and for the segment. And speaking of firsts, the GT350 uses a flat-plane crankshaft - something Ford has never included in a production V8 before.
Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014
Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
