1964 Custom Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible on 2040-cars
Tempe, Arizona, United States
|
Offering my 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible. This is car has the original 390 engine and Cruise-O-matic automatic 3 speed transmission. The 390 was given a new 272 cam and Holley 4 barrel carburetor. This car underwent a restoration process started in 2011. The goal was to get the car ready for auction at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. The car was estimated to sell for around 30-34 thousand, but some delays in the restoration forced me to use plan B.
The car has a custom paint job. The main color is fire mist orange. The inserts were done in champagne. The car has been lowered to give it a more aggressive stance and the front end was given a larger sway bar to help with body roll. Disc brakes have been installed in the front and rear. The car has a working power top. It comes with factory AC. The upholstery is completely redone with new foam and new black vinyl with chrome inserts. The hardware has been replaced and all the lever and cranks are new. The top is brand new. The boot for the top is also brand new. If you're looking for a driver, this is it. I usually drive it a few times a week. It grabs a lot of attention wherever I go. This is an amazing car and a great addition to any collection or weekend toy. Model year 1964 was the fourth and final year of this body style. Interior trim was much altered, and the exterior featured a more sculpted look which was actually designed to make the car more aerodynamic for NASCAR. Ford's quality control, spotty when the first Galaxie was introduced, was now as good as it ever was, and many 1964 Fords passed the 100,000-mile mark intact. The 1964 models gained an enviable reputation as durable, comfortable cars that offered decent handling and road-ability at a reasonable price. XL models got new thin-shell bucket seats with chrome trim. They were designed to cradle the driver better than the previous style, and Federal regulations now required lap-style safety belts for both front outboard occupants. I also have 2 discs with over 150 pictures of the restoration transformation. I will also include the 1964 Body Assembly Manual. I also have a parts list with prices and where they were bought for any reference. I also provide a half a gallon of the fire mist orange paint. The passenger side needs a door scuff plate (see pics). I also have two 8 foot sections of chrome that could be placed on the bottom of the car. I also have various other parts from the restoration, including chrome pieces, badges, nuts, bolts, etc. I have the title ready to transfer TODAY!! It is signed and notarized ready to be put in your name. |

Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally lands on Google board
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Former Ford CEO Alan Mulally often referred to the Blue Oval as a technology company when he led the automaker. Now he'll be offering guidance to a different kind of technology firm: Google.
Mulally was appointed to Google's board of directors July 9, and late Tuesday, it was announced that he will serve on the company's audit committee. The veteran executive led Ford from September 2006 until he retired in June, succeeded by Mark Fields.
While Mulally will act as a board member - rather than in a managerial role - his presence adds credibility to Google's recently announced plans to produce an autonomous car. The ambitious program calls for 100 prototypes to begin testing later this summer. Production of the car is rumored to be in collaboration with a Detroit area performance company, Roush.
Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
Ford reports $3B profit in Q4, $6.9B for the year
Tue, 28 Jan 2014Good news out of Dearborn today, as Ford announced $3 billion in profit for the last quarter of 2013, a 90-percent increase over the same period of 2012. Net income for all of last year, meanwhile, jumped to $7.2 billion from $5.7 billion in 2012, while pre-tax profits sat at a decade-topping $6.9 billion for all of 2013.
The results of the substantial profit increases are bigger profit-sharing checks for UAW employees. How big? A record $8,800 on average for 47,000 UAW workers, making 2013 the biggest year for profit sharing in Ford history. In total, $414 million will be paid as part of the profit-sharing scheme.
Now, it should be pointed out that a fair portion of Ford's Q4 profits were due to tax benefits, totaling $2.1 billion, according to Automotive News. Total profits would have also been higher, had there not been a significant recall on the Escape, as well as plant issues in South America.
