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.

Ford recalling 390,000 cars over door latch woes

Fri, Apr 24 2015

Ford is recalling certain Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles due to faulty door latches, marking the latest in what seems to be a recurring issue for the Blue Oval. This is the third door latch recall from Ford in 2015, following a 213,000-unit recall in March and a 205,000-unit recall in January. This one, however, is significantly larger. A total of 390,000 units are affected, including Fusions and MKZs from model years 2013 and 2014, as well as Fiestas from model years 2012 to 2014. A "broken pawl spring tab" is the culprit, potentially keeping doors from latching shut. According to Ford, even if the door does shut, it could come open again without warning. The affected Fiestas were built between February 1, 2012 and May 31, 2013 at the Cuautitlan, Mexico factory. The Fusion and MKZ siblings, meanwhile, were screwed together at Hermosillo Assembly in Mexico between July 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013. Ford is aware of three minor reports of door malfunctions. In two cases, the door bounced back open, quite literally hitting drivers on their way out. In the third case, a door swung open of its own accord while a driver was attempting to park, hitting another vehicle. Ford will notify owners, who will need to report into dealers to have all four latches replaced. Scroll down for the official press release. Related Video: APR 24, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES SAFETY RECALL IN NORTH AMERICA FOR DOOR LATCH ISSUE ON FORD FIESTA AND FUSION, LINCOLN MKZ Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 390,000 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta and 2013-2014 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ vehicles for a door latch issue. The door latch in these vehicles may experience a broken pawl spring tab, which typically results in a condition where the door will not latch. If a customer is then able to latch the door, there is potential the door may unlatch while driving, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is aware of two allegations of soreness resulting from an unlatched door bouncing back when the customer attempted to close it, and one accident allegation when an unlatched door swung open and struck an adjacent vehicle as the driver was pulling into a parking space. Affected vehicles include certain 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta vehicles built at Cuautitlan Assembly Plant, Feb.

Mercury rises around sexy Cougar pack

Sat, May 30 2015

With a slightly larger body and a more luxurious interior, the Mercury Cougar doesn't carry quite as much cachet among pony car enthusiasts as the venerable Ford Mustang. But don't try to make that argument around Cougar super-fan Mike Brown. Since starting his Cougar collecting in 1988, Brown has become an absolute expert on the model, and he claims to have owned 400 of the Mercury pony cars in that time. Ten of them are in his collection today, not to mention a heap of spare parts in the garage. Check out some of the rarer members of Brown's fleet and allow him to tell you about them in this interesting interview from Electric Federal.

2022 Rivian R1T vs. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning vs. GMC Hummer EV Pickup | How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 28 2021

The 2022 Rivian R1T has arrived, ushering in the era of the production electric pickup truck. The Rivian reviews are in, and spoiler alert: They're pretty good. Curious how the new battery-powered truck stacks up to its forthcoming competitors? Well, you've come to the right place. Rivian beat all of Detroit's big automakers to market in the half-ton segment, but probably not by the margin the startup would have liked. Ford's answer is the F-150 Lightning, which is due to enter production early next year, coming hot on the heels of GM's first entry into the space – the GMC Hummer EV pickup – which is scheduled to come off the line late this fall. While all three are pickups, they're aimed at distinctly different buyers, as a perusal of their specifications will reveal. Let's have a look, shall we?   Disclaimer: Before we dive in on this one, we'd like to note that while we've made our best effort to verify the specs provided, the Rivian is brand-new and the others are still in the prototype phase. Some of these figures may be inaccurate or may simply change before production. This is all hypothetical until you can actually cross-shop them anyway, right? Cool. End disclaimer. Let's start with the powertrains. They're all battery-electric trucks engineered on a modular rear-wheel-drive configuration engineered to accommodate (theoretically, anyway) up to four electric drive units. Rivian actually makes the most use of this with a quad-motor setup producing 835 horsepower and 908 pound-feet of torque with its high-output initial model. GMC's three-motor Hummer has the R1T beat with its estimated 1,000-horsepower output, while Ford's (also three-motor) comes in with a far more modest 563 horses. This is an excellent illustration of our above point that these are not all engineered for the same crowd. Ford's F-150, which comes in at a lower price point, is meant to be far more mainstream, as its power output suggests.  This theme continues when we look at the dimensions. Despite the image "Hummer" may conjure, GMC's entry actually needs the shallowest parking space. The Rivian is right behind it, with the work-truck-spec Ford extending more than a foot longer than either. What the Hummer lacks in length, it makes up for in girth. It's the widest by a good 5 inches. The Rivian is only slightly pudgier than the F-150, but it's much closer at that end of the scale.
