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 not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy

Thu, Jun 26 2014

The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept is a Gulfstream for the road

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

If you are afraid to fly or just want to arrive at your ultimate destination in absolute comfort, then the Ford Transit Skyliner concept might be the perfect vehicle for you. Built by Galpin Auto Sports and based on a 2015 Transit, the van is basically a private jet on wheels. It even has a touch of Transformers about it with the ability to switch between four modes by pressing a button in a smartphone app.
Based on the long wheelbase, high-roof model with 487 cubic feet of cargo space and 6 feet, 9.5 inches of interior height, the Skyliner has movable captains chairs that shift around among four modes. In theater mode, the seats turn and recline to face a 52-inch retractable movie screen with 7.2 surround sound. For business, a motorized table unfolds, and the chairs gather around it. There is a mode for tailgating where the door opens four-feet wide, and, when traveling, passengers can recline back with footrests that extend for maximum comfort.
To make the ride even plusher, there is a satellite and media server to meet your entertainment needs, and there is even a built-in bar in the back. If this Ford had a bathroom, you could live in it. Of course, you would need to hire a driver to enjoy all the amenities in the back.
