                                                                                 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 2Dr. Hardtop 

                                                    Z code 390, toploader 4 speed , and open 3.00:1 rear


I have over 120 pictures on my photobucket account that I can't seem to link here. I will email any interested bidders a direct link.   

Here is a very solid, great running '64 galaxie that could be enjoyed as is or restore to your liking. I have owned it for 4 years, need to trim down and this one has to go. The paint is shiny driver quality that has been touched up in spots, but presents itself well. The stainless trim and chrome are in very good condition with few flaws. The rear bumper is VERY nice, leading me to think that it must have been re-chromed or replaced. The interior needs work as the pictures show. The headliner is excellent, dash is faded with one split, carpet and front seat cover will need to be replaced, but they are not destroyed and can be used as is. 

Things that have been repaired or replaced in the last year:
New clutch kit flywheel balanced and re-surfaced, engine and transmission mounts ( less then 1,000 miles)
New driveshaft, universal joints, rear axle bearings and seals
4 new firestone tires 
New battery

I always run Mobile 1 synthetic oil with zddp additive. The 390 starts quickly with no odd noises or smoke. The top loader 4 speed is shifted by a Hurst shifter. The 4 wheel manual drum brakes work like they should with no pulling or pulsating. The front end will need attention, some off the bushings are dry rotting and there is little play in the steering.  The frame and trunk is soild, the floors are good with a minor soft area by the front passenger area.
Heater, wipers, and all outside lights operate as they should.   
 
Thing that would need attention:
Gas and water temp. guages are inaccurate.
Horn not operating.
Interior lights in headliner do not work.
Radio lights when turned on but no speaker is wired to it.

I welcome and encourage potential buyers or independent third party inspectors to come and view the car prior to bidding to decide if this car is right for you. 

I require a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 48 hours of auction end, with the remaining balance due in 7 days. I will assist with shipping.

Please call me @ 631-428-5833 if you have any questions or would like additional or specific information.

Thanks and good luck!

Amelia Island 2013: 50 years of the Ferrari-slaying Ford GT40

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Originally developed with the sole purpose of being a Ferrari rival to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT40 became a prominent racing machine in the 1960s in both Europe and the US. Not wanting to leave such an important car out of the fun, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance also took time out from its other celebrations to recognize the 50-year anniversary of the GT40.
Over its short lifespan, the GT40 was offered in a handful of configurations, but the classic short-tailed (Mk I and Mk II) bodystyles were well represented... especially in Gulf livery. James Glickenhaus (of Ferrari P4/5 fame) had his bright yellow Mk IV in the field, and there were several others in this bodystyle, including one that has seen plenty of time on the track judging by its chipped-up nose.
As a fitting statement for the car's lengthy racing history, GT40 Chassis Number 1075 won this year's Concours de Sport award. This car took home the checkered flag at Le Mans in 1968 and 1969, and racked up a total of six wins in just 11 races.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.

Ford hit by lawsuit over hybrid technology from, surprise, Paice

Fri, Feb 28 2014

The name Paice will be familiar to anyone who's been deep in the weeds of hybrid history, but it will probably be new to anyone who simply drives one. The key part of the story is something called "HyperDrive," which is the name given to a gas-electric powertrain technology developed by Alex Severinsky and patented in 1994. HyperDrive is a way to get the energy from both the electric battery and the engine into the wheels, seamlessly. The patents are held by Paice, which is an unusual company (its HQ is a house in a retirement community, right by a golf course) that does nothing but litigate. You can read more on Paice here. The latest case targets Ford and the hybrid and plug-in versions of the C-Max and Fusion models as well as the Lincoln MKZ. Paice claims that it held "over 100 meetings and interactions with Ford" between 1999 and 2004, and gave the automaker, "detailed information about the hybrid technology that Paice had developed." The suit also alleges that: For more than five years, Paice answered inquiries from multiple departments within Ford, believing in good faith that a business relationship between Paice and Ford would be mutually beneficial and advance the acceptance of Paice's technology. ... After years of Ford learning the details of Paice's hybrid drivetrain technology, Ford elected not to enter into a business relationship with Paice. The suit is officially known as, "Paice LLC v. The Ford Motor Co., 14-492, U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland (Baltimore)" and you can read the PDF here. Ford told AutoblogGreen, "we do not comment on pending litigation." Toyota settled a similar patent-infringement case in 2010 and now pays Paice almost $100 for every hybrid it sells. Paice is still in court against Hyundai and Kia. In 2010, Ford also settled with Paice but they agreed to keep negotiating on other issues until at least January 1, 2014. With that date now in the past, it didn't take long for Paice to file papers to get the two sides back before a judge. That's where it appears to be most comfortable.
