                                                    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!

Revisiting the 2008-09 auto bailout that saved GM and Chrysler

Fri, Sep 2 2016

The Federal Reserve stayed open late on December 31, 2008. There's almost no way you could remember that because barely anyone knew at the time. But General Motors had to pay its bills, and the Fed wired money so GM could still buy things in January. Without those funds, the nation's largest automaker wouldn't have seen much of 2009. It's one of many heart-stopping moments that illustrate just how close Detroit's Big Three came to extinction nearly a decade ago. They're chronicled in a new movie, Live Another Day, premiering in theaters September 16. Filmmakers Bill Burke and Didier Pietri interviewed nearly all of the key executives, federal officials, and union chiefs to recreate the auto industry's most perilous period. The movie begins in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers' demise amid the global financial meltdown. Things looked bleak for American carmakers, and their CEOs were laughed off Capitol Hill when they sought a Wall Street-style bailout. "It was a feeling that it was the end of the world," Pietri told Autoblog in an interview where he and Burke previewed the film. Saved by last-minute loans authorized by the Bush Administration after Congress refused to act, Detroit staggered into 2009 with a faint pulse. Live Another Day illustrates the downward spiral that played out that winter as President Obama and his task force – with little prior knowledge of the auto industry – wrestled over the fate of hundreds of thousands of jobs. GM's longtime CEO Rick Wagoner was fired in March. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne suddenly appeared as a savior for Chrysler, with his own motives. Obama rejected restructuring plans from the automakers. Chrysler declared bankruptcy on April 30. GM followed June 1. The sequence was very public, but Pietri and Burke showcase lesser-known events that shaped the outcome. They also seek to dispel the notion that the government rescued GM and Chrysler from incompetent leaders. "We never subscribed to the theories that the management structures of the companies were a bunch of idiots who didn't know what is going on," Pietri said. At one point, Chrysler executives were negotiating with Marchionne and Fiat. Unbeknownst to them, the government was having its own talks with the Italian automaker. The filmmakers also cast light on the bankruptcy process, which was shredded to shepherd two of America's industrial icons through reorganizations.

2014 Ford Mustang GT

Fri, 17 May 2013

I was more than a year removed from my last experience with the Mustang GT and its delicious 5.0 V8 when this new 2014 example rolled up to my driveway recently. Good weather and a planned road trip across the state meant that I would get plenty of seat time in this conservatively specified example, too. In total, I logged about 400 miles in a week of driving - not a lot for some of you super commuters out there, but quite a lot for this work-from-home journalist.
The basic formula of the 5.0 has stayed the same for 2014. The 2013 model year saw a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it's replaced with an all-new generation for 2015. So, for its bon voyage tour, the fifth-generation Pony Car has seen only a few modifications: a couple of new paint colors (Oxford White and Ruby Read Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup. However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package cars like the one I tested provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.
Driving Notes

Ford readying Ranger-based Everest SUV?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Way back in August, we showed you a Ford concept for the Australian market called the Everest. Now, we can show you that work on the new Ranger-based SUV is well under way.
At this stage, it's still quite clearly a mule (note the misalignment of the front and rear doors), wearing the Ranger's front end and the rump of Ford's overseas Territory crossover. The wheelbase is shorter than a Ranger, according to our spy photographers, which strikes us as somewhat odd for a more passenger-oriented vehicle. Disc brakes should be fitted at all four corners, while the new SUV, which will almost certainly wear the Everest name, should sport a new rear suspension.
In terms of looks, we're expecting the Everest Concept to inform the appearance of the production model. Naturally, there will also be some interior tweaks, particularly around the dashboard, which is covered in these photos.
