I have decided to sell my 1964 Galaxie 500...I bought this car from the original owners daughter back in 2009 and drove it on the trailer. This car had been taken care of very well since it was purchased new in Lexington South Carolina on 7-3-64. I have a copy of the original bill of sale as well as the window sticker. This car is a very solid survivor that can be enjoyed as is or restored very easily. The car was re-painted around 1989 due to some small damage to the passenger door. The paint is showing its age and some of the trim was not taped up very well but I like it this way...you know exactly what you are getting. There are a few spots of rust at the back window and where the top meets the body on the passenger side (see photos). There is a small hole in the trunk under the spare tire. But the amazing thing is that the floors, rockers, quarters, and the rest of the body is RUST FREE! This car has the original carpet in it, it also has the original head liner and visors in it. This car was garage or shed kept its entire life. It has true dual exhaust with the huge mufflers in the rear qtrs....it is very quiet. I have done some mechanical upgrades so I could get in a drive the car without worries and I will list all of them below but this car is as original as you ever want to get. It is a true "Z" code 390, 300HP, 3 speed on the column, Raven Black, Red interior, 1964 Galaxie 500. You will not find another car that is more complete and original with this combination anywhere. I have had my fun... now it is time to pass it on to someone else to enjoy.
This car is by no means perfect.....it has a few bumps and bruises but it is extremely solid and is a great car to have. I am reluctant to sell but I feel like now is the time to move on to something else.
Here are all of the mechanical things I have done to the car...trying to keep it as original as possible.
New plugs, wires, cap, rotor button with Petronics electronic ignition (got rid of the points)
New exhaust manifold gasket and donut on drivers side
Rebuilt Autolite 4100 factory 4 Barrel
Rebuilt Clutch / Brake petal assembly (all new bushings)
New Heater core with defrost hoses
New Master Cylinder
All new brakes in front (Shoes, springs, cylinders, rotors turned)
New rubber brake lines on front
I removed the original foam padding on the inside of the firewall and installed Dynamat sheets.
Rebuilt radiator (it actually came out of an automatic car and the trans cooler is plugged)
KYB Shocks on all 4 corners
New Motor mounts
I swapped the original 14" steel wheels for 15's...5.5" up front and 6" in the rear...the tires are 205/75's and 235 / 75's
63 Ford dog dish caps
Changed the trans and differential fluids
New Fuel pump
New seal in tail of trans
Speaker in dash has been rebuilt
New clutch and pressure plate (still in box....needs to be installed)
Front seat is a 64 Galaxie seat but it is not the original seat...I have the original seat but it needs to be recovered.
What the car needs....
It marks it's spot every where you park it...I am guessing the rear main seal...
Clutch and pressure plate assembly needs to be installed..
Front brakes need to be adjusted again....sometimes it pulls to the right...
I may have missed a few things but you get the idea, I just drove this car on a 2 hour trip 3 days ago and it performed flawlessly.
Let me know if you would like to see some other pictures of have a specific question. The reserve on this car is very fair so bid with confidence.
Thanks

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
