Offering for sale at no reserve (as usual) one 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. This car is 50 years old this year! It looks like it has never had any work done on the body except where we fixed some rock chips and a small rust spot in the left rear quarter - a mud trap area and years before it was parked the right fender had been replaced and painted. The paint on the right fender is chipping now. The floors and trunk look good showing original paint and no surface rust. The motor is a 289 that has 200 miles on a complete overhaul including new .040 over pistons, turned the crank .010-.010 and all new cam,lifters,valve job etc. Even put new belts,hoses,starter,bypass hose,heater hoses,water pump and thermostat. This is not a rering job outback under the apple tree! The motor runs smooth with plenty of power (it's no hot rod, but, surprisingly, has a lot of get up and go). This car has power enough to pass cars in short order even though the motor built to stock specs. Really surprised me. We replaced the muffler. The tires are new (we have driven them less that 200 miles). The seats, carpet, and headliner are new. Wheel cylinders new with remanufactured brake linings and wheel bearings repacked.This is one of those cars that will probably be good for another 50 years with a little attention to the exterior. This car is just the thing to take the grand kids to the zoo. We have gone through this cars major mechanics. The only things I know to do is the blower motor switch does not work. The speedometer jumps when extremely cold and the gas guage reads 3/4 when it is actually full but goes way below empty. Drives and rides smooth as silk. Can be picked up and driven home anywhere and I would not be afraid of it. This was a true barn find from an old farmer in Scott City in dry climate western Kansas who last plated it in 1977 due to a miss in the motor that he could not get out. I originally was going to part it out but the car was so solid and original that I could not bring myself to do it (we generally do not restore 4drs). After finding the miss in the motor (a broken compression ring on cylinder # 5) we just pulled it apart and completely overhauled the motor,clutch,brakes and most of the interior. New windshield and back glass gaskets,headliner,carpet and NORS fairlane (not galaxie) seat covers. When we stripped the interior the floors were amazing having original paint on therm. Everything we replaced in the interior was due to age and being dried up from sitting. Could use new door gaskets due to being flattened from age but the car feels and sounds tight. You cannot buy a car this solid and do what has been done to it for the low reserve price we have on it.
Selling with intention of needing restoration of rest of minor components.
It has a good title.
The car can be stored here for up to 6 months - after that we will come up with a monthly fee.
Possible delivery if you are within 400 miles of central Kansas south or west for a fee.
If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
If you would like a better look at anything we can send more pictures.
We expect payment within 5 working days of the end of the auction.

Petersen Museum celebrates 50 years of Ford Mustang with special exhibit

Mon, May 5 2014

If you're a pony-car enthusiast, this is your year. Not only has Ford introduced an all-new Mustang, but it's also the 50th anniversary of the original. Celebrations and commemorations have been scheduled throughout the year, and not the least of them is the latest exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Called "Mustangs Forever: 50 Years of a Legend", the exhibit includes Mustangs from every generation of the iconic pony car, including the 1965 convertible Ronald Reagan drove during his California gubernatorial campaign, a 1971 Mach 1 Cobra Jet, a 1974 Mustang II, 1993 SVT Cobra, 2000 Cobra R and a 2006 Shelby GT-H. Special sections focus on motorsports, aftermarket modifiers and limited-edition models. The display opened on Sunday with the Mustang Madness spectacular and will run for the next six months, but if you're not heading to Southern California within the coming half-year then you can scope out all the action in our live gallery of photos above.

Riding along in Ford's bonkers Fiesta ST Global RallyCross car [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013

The Mountune-worked Fiesta ST GRC does 0-to-60 mph in 1.9 seconds.
On any given day, and every single weekend, there's at least one parking in the country invaded by manufacturer and team trucks. The be-chromed beasts and their 53-foot trailers are slotted into rows, men and women decorate the lot with orange cones to mark the invisible tracery of a temporary track, cars get unloaded, crews fret over them. The ritual can be as beautiful as the sunrise to those with enthusiast hearts, but it's just as common.

Ford and Mercedes join Renault in French emissions investigation

Thu, Jan 21 2016

The French government is investigating certain models from Ford, Mercedes-Benz, and Renault because they allegedly produce more nitrogen oxide than the country's pollution rules allow, according to Automotive News, citing a French newspaper. After VW's emissions scandal, French regulators began checking more vehicles for evidence of defeat devices and excessive real-world pollution. According to Automotive News, the Mercedes S350 allegedly showed inconsistent results across these tests, and a Ford C-Max had NOx levels five times over the limit. The Renault Captur crossover, Espace, and an unnamed utility vehicle also had results that were too high. The French testing for this investigation includes an on-road emissions check that's not part of the EU's normal evaluations, which some automakers claim is unfair. "Unofficial on-road testing has varying conditions and can produce significantly different results," a Ford of Europe spokesman told Automotive News. Renault representatives met with French officials on January 18 to explain the situation. The company later submitted a plan to recall 15,800 examples of the diesel Captur, and said it would offer a voluntary software upgrade for about 700,000 other vehicles, according to Automotive News. Representatives from Ford and Mercedes will meet with the government soon, too. Renault's stock price plunged last week after investors heard that French regulators searched three of the automaker's sites as part of the emissions investigation. The stockholders feared an environmental scandal like the one currently embroiling Volkswagen. There's one major difference – as of now, there's no evidence Renault equipped any of the polluting models with defeat devices. Related Video:
