1964 Galaxie 500 Hard Top 352 Fe Auto Four Barrel Solid Original Car Show Ready on 2040-cars
McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, United States

What you are looking at would be considered a survivor,
original, lightly cleaned up or preserved car.
This stunning 1964 Galaxie has had the black paint redone and some other
things cleaned up. But it hasn’t been
restored. It runs, shifts, drives and
acts like a new car. If you can
remember riding in a new 64 Galaxie, this would be really darn close. Just closing the doors, hood and trunk on
this car feels right. Everything works
as it should. Driving to a show today I
decided to try the cigarette lighter and that even worked! This car gets as much positive attention as
my 390 Tripower car. I have stock cars,
powerful cars, even a nitrous breathing Mustang. This 64 Galaxie for sale is a factory 352 4V
car. It’s not a race car…it’s even
better. There is something so nice about
getting behind the wheel of this car.
The motor is snappy. It runs so
smooth, powerful and so easy. This car
is a cruiser. My other 64 is a 390
stroker, aluminum headed 5 speed trip car.
It’s desirable, it’s fast, it’s fun.
I will tell you that driving this black 352 64 is even better. It’s calming, pleasant, and a blast. Something about pulling up to the light with
just some sweet sounding pipes, its low profile and great looks is even better
than being in my cammed up beast cars.
This car takes the cake for cruising.
You can load up the family and hit the local show to get a trophy. It’s that kind of reliable drive anyplace
car. Tap the key and this lively 352 FE
will snap to life. Put it into gear and
she shifts perfectly like it should. It’s
smooth and will put a smile on your face when you hear those big heads
breathing through the factory H pipe into a set of Magnaflow glass packs. When we did the heads and looked in the cylinders there were
still honing marks from the factory.
This car has no exhaust leaks, no oil leaks, doesn’t use or burn oil,
all around perfect running 352 that sits around 175-190*. Today I went for a ride, its 90* out. When I came back to check the temp, we were
sitting at 188* on the coolant.
Impressive! Why am I selling
it? It’s painful to actually consider
letting her go. However I was able to
line up one of my favorite cars and my first car. A 1960 9 passenger County Sedan. I need the money and space to do the
wagon. So this sweet 64 needs to
go. Also I need to give my wife’s
Mustang a bit more attention as well. Below and in all the pictures I am going to highlight what
should be important to anyone who is buying a classic. I have done many cars and even sold a
handful. 100% of the feedback has been
along the lines of people telling me I described the car perfectly or that the
car is nicer than I described. I kind of
like to under promise and over deliver.
I am not fast eddy the used car salesman. I am just a guy who is addicted to what we
call the classic car hobby. I live,
breath and love old cars. Save the hobby
and the cars is what I do. Please see
the good, the not perfect and the beauty of this 64 Galaxie 500. This car was built 10.31.1963 (yes, Halloween) I have the original manual with the original owner’s info
from the dealer where the car was purchased new. It even came with a woman’s guide to good
driving (I’m not being sexist, it was there along with the manual J) The paint on the roof is 100% original; most of the black
has been redone. The black paint isn’t
perfect but sure does shine. There are still the "Paint OK" stamps under the hood. Clearly these fenders have never been off! The interior has a small spot that needs fixed on the top of
the seat. I was going to have the front
seat redone but it would be a crime to touch the original seats for just one
spot. Everything works as it should. Lights, lighter, wipers, signals, reverse
lights, heater, AM radio works and the horn works. Actually the only thing that doesn’t work
perfectly is the fuel gauge. I will get
in and fix it – it’s a common problem in the sending unit. I bet I have a new sending unit on the shelf. New parts just installed in the past 500 miles: Idler arm bushing Tuned Edelbrock 600 CFM 4 barrel Hipo style air cleaner (you get the stock one too but it
isn’t good for flow at all) Fresh C4AE-6090-G heads.
These heads freaking flow! New intake and exhaust gaskets 160* thermostat (huge decrease in temp that makes all FE
motors happy) Brad Penn Synthetic high Zinc 10/40 oil Exhaust manifolds have been high temp powder coated factory
cast color Valve covers have been powder coated factory 64 352 Old Ford
Blue (looks brand new and way better than paint) Fan shield powder coated correct black New caution and 352 stickers. (I did put 352 hipo stickers on the valve
covers. They can come off without
harming the covers. Even though they are
for a 60 hipo, I think they look great on this car) The 352 was a 4.0 bore by 3.5 stroke. Some of these engines were ho hum and some
were great. This motor has factory flat
top pistons. Matching that with the C4AE
6090-G heads really makes this car get up and go if it needs to. The 4v Edelbrock has proven to be a great
carb. It has made this 64 run much
better than it did with the 4100. On one
of my other cars, an Edlebrock made 18 more HP and gained me 3 MPG over a
holley. This was a stock 428 motor and
JUST by bolting this carb on I was able to see the gains on the dyno and at the
pump. You will love the 352 FE with this
Edelbrock! I can include a Ford 4100
that needs rebuilt for you Ford parts only purists. Everything on this car besides the carb and the air filter
is set up like factory. Even the vacuum
set up, kick down, everything is just way it should be. This car sounds good, looks good, works good,
drives good, runs good, and gets good attention. It’s easy to drive. My wife can go out to the car cold, start it
and head out without an issue. Vin Tag Body = 63B Color = AM Trim = 75 Date = 31K Axle = 1 Trans = 4 VIN = 4P66X121252 Breakdown of the vin: Body = 63B (2 Door Fastback) Color = AM (Raven Black/Wimbledon White) (Paint codes 1724
and 1619) Trim = 75 (Red) Date = 31K (October 31st) Axle = 1 (3.00:1) Trans = 4 (Cruise-O-Matic) VIN = 4P66X121252 (4 is the year, P = was built in Twin City,
66 = two door fastback, X = 352 Thunderbird Special 4v, the rest is
constructive number built (this car is number 21,252 produced). It’s nice to see an actual two tone 64 Galaxie. They were not as common as you would think
(or see since so many people do a white roof when restoring). Please contact me before you bid if you have less than 10 positive feedback. If you have less than 10 I have to cancel your bit. I just cant waste time with people who are not looking to buy this car! HERE IS A VIDEO AND 100 MORE PICTURES OF THE CAR!

Ford C-Max spied with fresh updates
Fri, 05 Sep 2014The Ford C-Max hatchback looks to be getting a few cosmetic updates, as evidenced in this latest set of spy photos. Like the smaller Focus, which also received a nip/tuck for the 2015 model year, the C-Max appears to be getting a revised front fascia with slimmer headlamps and a more, shall we say, Aston Martin-like grille. Around back, there looks to be a new bumper with redesigned taillamps, as well.
In other markets, the C-Max people-mover is available with a range of powertrains, but here in the US, it exists either as a traditional gas-electric or plug-in hybrid. The C-Max's fuel economy has been a particular topic of interest lately, with its official fuel economy ratings having been lowered twice since the vehicle's launch. Sales initially suffered a bit following this fiasco, though numbers have since leveled out. It's unclear if Ford is working on any powertrain tweaks for the updated C-Max seen here, however.
Ford has likely spruced up the hatch's interior, as well, though we don't have photos of that at this time. Mum's the word on when we'll see the new C-Max, but our best guess is that it'll arrive sometime in the next year.
Ford fights back against patent trolls
Fri, Feb 13 2015Some people are just awful. Some organizations are just as awful. And when those people join those organizations, we get stories like this one, where Ford has spent the past several years combatting so-called patent trolls. According to Automotive News, these malicious organizations have filed over a dozen lawsuits against the company since 2012. They work by purchasing patents, only to later accuse companies of misusing intellectual property, despite the fact that the so-called patent assertion companies never actually, you know, do anything with said intellectual property. AN reports that both Hyundai and Toyota have been victimized by these companies, with the former forced to pay $11.5 million to a company called Clear With Computers. Toyota, meanwhile, settled with Paice LLC, over its hybrid tech. The world's largest automaker agreed to pay $5 million, on top of $98 for every hybrid it sold (if the terms of the deal included each of the roughly 1.5 million hybrids Toyota sold since 2000, the company would have owed $147 million). Including the previous couple of examples, AN reports 107 suits were filed against automakers last year alone. But Ford is taking action to prevent further troubles... kind of. The company has signed on with a firm called RPX, in what sounds strangely like a protection racket. Automakers like Ford pay RPX around $1.5 million each year for access to its catalog of patents, which it spent nearly $1 billion building. "We take the protection and licensing of patented innovations very seriously," Ford told AN via email. "And as many smart businesses are doing, we are taking proactive steps to protect against those seeking patent infringement litigation." What are your thoughts on this? Should this patent business be better managed? Is it reasonable that companies purchase patents only to file suit against the companies that build actual products? Have your say in Comments.
2015 Ford Focus ST zooming toward Goodwood reveal [w/video]
Mon, 23 Jun 2014Ford has quite a party ready for the Goodwood Festival of Speed starting on June 27. Not only is the 2015 Mustang going to be driving in front of the European public for the first time, the Blue Oval is also unveiling its 2015 refresh for the Focus ST.
Official details about the latest Focus hot hatch are practically nonexistent at this point. Ford's teaser image shows narrower headlights, and the company says that the ST also benefits from the technical and quality improvements from the refreshed standard model, which likely means an even more Aston-Martin-like grille. However, any improvements for the power or handling are a mystery for now.
Ford will even give visitors to the festival the chance to drive the new ST - at least virtually. Gran Turismo 6 kiosks will be on hand with the hot hatch loaded up to race the Goodwood Hill Climb. There will also be real-time races between former Stig Ben Collins in the real ST challenging a player up the hill in the game.
