bought the car last year to take the family in but the wife wants a more traditional hot rod so the Galaxie needs a new home!

Title in my name in hand.

1964 Galaxie 390 factory z code car
2 door hardtop
just rewired the ENTIRE car front to back with a Ron Francis wiring harness. The gauges work but I need to install a new fuel sending unit (i have one but havent stopped driving the car long enough to put it in!) and a new temp sending unit (also have it) to run the gauges.Gauges tested out as they should and work.
bench seats (front has a couple rips along the stitching as seen in the pics), rear is about perfect.
added rear seatbelts
stainless exhaust car sounds and runs great
disk conversion done in the front, drums in back
brand new rear tires
Torque thrust style aluminum mags
newer dual master cylinder
have all power steering equipment but i installed a manual steering valve 
brand new aluminum radiator
trans rebuilt last year (have receipt) for $600
new windshield last year
posi rear axle

no heater, radio is sitting in there but no speakers, wipers work, horn works (needs a relay to be louder), turn signals work, stoplights work, brakes work well

what it needs:
the paint is a 80's/90's chameleon paint that changes from green to purple to a deep black based on sunlight and time of day.  generally it looks black but in the right light it changes.  Sadly the hail storm did a lot of small dings mostly to the hood. decklid and roof obv.   though the side panels of the car are still in great shape and the body itself is extremely straight and rust/rot free.  very little bondo on the car as its a Tennesse car and has only been in new england for 1 season.  . 

lower doors and doorjamb, rockers etc are in excellent shape.  when driving or from 20 feet you cant tell but i want to be upfront.  the car fires up even in 20 degree weather and runs great.  did more than 1k miles in 2 months this year.  it's not a show car but a very respectable driver you can get in and go now.  needs window cranks for the rear windows and the front smaller windows.  other than that its how far you want to take it.  if i were to keep it id fill the hail dents and paint it black and flake the roof and be done.  but the wife wants a traditional 40-50s hot rod so thats where im at and i cant have both.  the car is a paintojob and some small interior things like window cranks away from being killer.  even as is it's still bad a$$ and mean.  gets compliments and thumbs up everywhere. i drive it often and hate to part with it.  currently registered and insured and inspected.

no trades unless its a running pre 1979 harley shovelhead or panhead FLH.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

Ford Ranger-based 7-seat SUV spotted testing

Wed, 29 May 2013

Ford looks to be working on a new SUV version of its global Ranger pickup truck. An early prototype of a seven-passenger SUV based on the Ranger has been spotted testing in Australia, and word has it buyers in the region could expect to see the model in showrooms as soon as 2014, where it could sail under the Endeavour or Everest badges. Ford Australia currently sells the Territory SUV, so there's some chance that this model could be a successor to that throne, as well.
Whatever it's called, the long-roof Ranger will feature a shorter wheelbase and more ground clearance than its pickup twin, giving the machine a bit more off-road functionality. (And here we thought we couldn't want the global Ranger any more than we already do.) While this particular vehicle sports a Territory back half grafted onto a Ranger front end, odds are a public reveal of the finished product could occur as soon as the second half of 2014, making it a 2015 model.
