                                                    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!

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.

Ford rolls out diesel Focus ST at Goodwood [w/poll]

Sun, 29 Jun 2014

If you're in the market for a hot hatch, there are some excellent choices at your disposal - especially if you live in Europe. But if you want a diesel, well, your choices become rather more limited. Volkswagen tends to that niche market with the Golf GTD (essentially an oil-burning version of the GTI available Stateside), but that's about the extent of it. The pleas of those looking for more diesel-burning hot hatch choices haven't fallen on deaf ears at Ford, with the Blue Oval not only rolling out a facelifted gas-powered Focus ST at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend, but also a new diesel version as well.
The diesel Focus ST (which we hope and pray isn't marketed as the STD) packs a 2.0-liter turbodiesel four producing 182 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to propel the oil-burning hot hatch to 62 in 8.1 seconds en route to a top speed of 135 miles per hour. With less power and only slightly more torque, that makes the diesel Focus ST considerably slower than the gasoline one, which packs 252 hp and 270 lb-ft, runs to 62 in 6.5 seconds and tops out at 154 mph, but (in a testament to how far particulate filters have come) the diesel model cuts carbon emissions by nearly a third compared to the petrol version and returns about 50-percent better fuel economy, which makes that much more of a difference in markets where diesel is already priced better than gasoline at the pump.
For buyers who wouldn't consider anything other than a diesel, it also represents 23-percent more power than the previous top-level diesel Focus. The VW Golf GTD, for reference, offers up 181 hp (just 1 horse less), 280 lb-ft (15 fewer torques) but is somehow estimated to reach 60 in a considerably fleeter 7.4 seconds.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every 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.
