1964 Ford Galaxie Xl on 2040-cars
Wentzville, Missouri, United States
This car is a driver, not a show car. This last winter I had a shop light fall onto the car, and put a visible scratch on the passenger side near the rear window. There's paint bubbles on both rear quarters. They're small to me, but I'm not a body man. The radio antenna will need to be replaced, it's broke near the base. There is a small dent in the hood where the carburator nut hit it. There's also some scratches on the rear window where someone used a non plastic scrapper to clean the window. From checking into fixing it, I do believe that they can be removed, but I have not tried it yet. The horn has a loose wire or broken contact that I haven't found yet. Mileage showing is 54,409 which I'm guessing is not correct. I have owned the car for approximately 11 years from the papers I found. The car is not driven in the rain, or in the winter. For the past several years I probably haven't put on more that a couple hundred miles on it. So It's time to sell the car. When I purchased the car I had the radiator redone, along with the top area. I put on a new gas tank, fan shroud, and new rubbers seals under the hood to get a good flow of air running under the hood. New trunk mat. Both the front and rear bumpers were re-chromed. This last winter new brake lines, master cylinder, brake adjusters and cylinders were replaced. I did have some work done on the engine, and transmission by another mechanic. These are the items that I had installed. High flow oil pump. New Oil pan. Edelbrock double roller timing chain and gears. Schneider performance hydraulic cam shaft. Sealed power hydraulic lifters. Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads. Edelbrock performer intake. Set of Crane push rods. Harlan Sharp rocker arms. Demon Carburator Chrome air cleaner and valve covers. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt C6 with a shift kit, 1800 stall torque converter. Dual exhaust with Flo-Pro Mufflers. The car drives very good, and cruises great on the highway. Currently the car is riding on B F Goodrich TA Tires. The mags are 15 inch Cragar SS. Along with the car I'll be including the original tires and 6 hub caps that the car had when I got it. Any questions please send them by way of ebay. By the way this is the first item I have sold on ebay so I'm learning my way through the system. I will check often for any messages, so there should be little down time in my response. I want the new owner to enjoy this car and to be happy with the purchase, so no question is to small. I'm selling only in the United States. |

Ex-GM VP LaNeve takes over Lincoln ad agency
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Those of you that caught yesterday's op-ed about Lincoln will have heard already, but Mark LaNeve has taken the helm at Team Detroit. Once the North American vice president of sales, service and marketing for General Motors, LaNeve will now head up the agency that handles all of Ford advertising. LaNeve will also run the account for Lincoln. While at GM from 2001 to 2009, the exec oversaw ad campaigns like Cadillac's Breakthrough and sales initiatives like "Employee Pricing for Everyone."
He left in 2009 to join Allstate as chief marketing officer, oversaw the creation of the Mayhem ad spots and was moved into the role of VP of agency operations overseeing Allstate's 10,000 agents. He resigned from the insurer in February 2012 for personal reasons and joined Team Detroit in August 2012 as chief operating officer, in charge of satellite offices in New York and internationally. He replaces ex-CEO Cameron McNaughton, and will continue to hold the title of COO.
Lincoln is trying to get its 2013 back to rights after putting big dollar commercials for the 2013 MKZ on television then having production glitches preventing cars from getting to dealerships. With rumors of a relaunch in the works, it's no surprise LaNeve has been given the reins - and from here it looks like the brand is desperate for the kind of magic he's proved he can marshal. Perhaps he can start by calling a mulligan on the renaming exercise that gave us the hoary "Lincoln Motor Company" and go back to oh, say, "Lincoln." Then he can ask the product folks to get to work on the MKC concept...
Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
