1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Conv , I have near $15,000 in this car to start with so I'm most likely gonna take a loss selling it.... I built it to cruise to local shows and for photo shoots.... I've owned the car for 2 years and spent the time working on it, I have a clean VA Title in my name.

New & Rebuilt Parts Consisting of:

Rebuilt 352, has reworked 390 heads (all correct 1964 galaxie parts), Car has a mild Comp Cam, Edelbrock Aluminum dual plain intake, Edelbrock 600 Carb, Aluminum Coolant Fill Jug, Aluminum Radiator, Everything in the motor was replaced except the actual pistons (they were re-ringed), I had the original exhaust manifolds plained to seal tight (didn't feel need to spend 5-600 on headers) Reused the points Distributor as it works w/ no issues and car starts w/ a few pumps of the gas and a turn of the key...  Motor has under 500 miles on it, only real issue is I believe the rear main is leaking, we put a new one in but it must not have seated right

Rebuilt Cruise-o-matic Transmission, was rebuilt this year and has under 150 miles on it

New(er) Top, was replaced last year so it's new but is a year old, still looks good as it should, has the plastic back window, had no power to the top switch so I disconnected the hydrolic cylinders, it's being used as a  manual top, it goes up and down easily
New Windshield (including Gasket)
New True Dual Exhaust w/ Performance Mufflers, has a real nice street rod sound but not too much to overkill
New Disc Brake setup on front, upgraded to power brakes, rear brakes rebuilt (reused drums only as they are good), Stainless Brake lines
New Gas Tank, Sending unit, fuel lines (sending unit has a bad connection so fuel gauge isn't currently working)
New Power Steering Pump, Cylinder (the shock like part), one of the steering hoses started leaking so I pulled the belt for it, its just power assist so it drives as a manual steer w/o it... not that bad

I have been through the cars drivetran from front to back now just needing fine tuning stuff, Needs cosmetics or drive it as is......

Paint on car is Teal Primer so its a flat teal color, original color is Robin egg blue as seen in the image of the trunk.  The inside of the car is white Vinyl w/ blue plush inserts, its an older interior so its showing its age, its starting to pull at the seams etc... The car is now at the point that someone can make it their own, your colors your theme

Wheels are Cragar SS Rims, Fronts are 15x6 and the rears are 17x8, all in good shape but not new

Big questions to answer ahead of time, Rust......  it's a 1964 that is not a garage queen so it has had some spots Trunk is solid and Floors (floors may have had repairs years ago but I cannot tell it they have been w/o removing the carpets) , the only underside rust I found to be significant is in the top well (between the quarter panel and the interior paneling), I have put a heavy rubber mat in the area but it does need repaired, the lips on the inside of the quarters have some but most all body work has been done to the car, it wasn't a rust queen when I got it, just needed help,

REASON FOR SELLING:  I have a 57 Chevy in my Driveway that I want to build, I cannot build it until I sell something... and cannot sell my truck cause I need it

INCLUDED WITH CAR, is another hood, as the one on the car has a slight bend to the driver side front corner, Steering gear box, one in the car has some play in it, I have another one thats tighter, Turn signal switch w/ all the wires that attach. Door Gaskets/ other misc...  The passenger side brake light / signal does not work on rear... I ran a jumper wire from the Driver side so that it has brake lights, was told it was the switch.  There are some other nick knack parts that go with the car, tail light assemblies and other stuff that'll fit in the trunk for shipping purposes, if needed I can swap the hood prior to shipping, at this point it will only come w/ the replacement hood and not the one pictured on the car,

Ford drops Focus RS teaser ahead of Feb 3 reveal

Wed, Jan 21 2015

Ford is trying to get us hyped for the unveiling of the latest Focus RS on February 3 with this new video teaser. The clip showcases the hot hatch doing some big slides in the wet and dry during testing in Europe and the US, and it definitely makes us even more curious about what the Blue Oval has in store with the RS. Even in this short teaser, Ford continues to dress the more aggressive nose of the Focus RS in camouflage, like the previous test cars. Unfortunately, what's going on under all of that concealment remains a bit of a mystery. Rumors suggest the RS likely uses a tuned version of the Blue Oval's 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder estimated to make between 325 and 350 horsepower. A speculated torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system should keep fears of torque steer at bay, and larger brakes on the test mules indicate that bringing it all to a halt shouldn't be a problem, either. We do know that the hotter Focus will be among the "more than 12" vehicles that the new Ford Performance division will develop through 2020, and the RS will come to the US for the first time. However, US-spec RS models will likely be imported from Europe, which will keep numbers here low and will mean prices estimated to be around $30,000 or more. Until the official specs become available, at least enjoy watching this hot hatch's ability to slide.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals

Sun, Mar 3 2024

EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment.  But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
