1964 Ford Country Sedan Wagon on 2040-cars
Keller, Texas, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1964 Galaxie Country Sedan Wagon. This car is the perfect family cruiser and drives extremely well. The whole drivetrain has been restored starting with a fully rebuilt 390. Block was bored and a 390 crank was installed along with new pistons, rings, bearings, heads totally rebuilt, new valves and springs, Comp Cams 280 hydraulic cam and lifters, and Four barrel intake with original rebuilt Autolite carburetor. Motor machine work was done at Charles' Automotive Machine in Arlington. The Cruise o Matic transmission was fully rebuilt at AAAA transmission in Ft Worth with new seals, clutches and bearings. Front end was rebuilt with new lower control arm bushings and a stabilizer bar was added in between the lower control bushings to secure the front end along with all four shocks. Lincoln disc brakes were added with new calipers and pads. Rear brakes were rebuilt with new shoes and new wheel cylinders. The car stops very well. Axle bearings were replaced along with the rear end grease and gasket. Sanderson headers were added along with full dual exhaust, H pipe with Flowmaster mufflers. A new aluminum radiator was used along with a rebuilt power steering pump, control valve, steering cylinder and all new hoses. Gas tank was cleaned and sealed at Kirby's radiator in Ft Worth. The wheels are Boss 338 18" wheels with BF Goodrich Sport Comp 2 tires. The bumpers were re chromed at Quality Bumper in Dallas and are beautiful. Basically the drivetrain is new on this car. I have about 1800-2000 miles on it since everything was new. I drove this car to Austin for the Lone Star Roundup a few months back and it drove exceptionally smooth and well with four of us in it. Body is straight with the exception of a few dings here and there and a small scrape on the drivers fender. There are a few holes in the rear quarter but nothing totally rotten. Floors are very solid with only a few tiny holes in the left rear pan. Glass is good with the windshield having a crack on the far left hand side. Rear seat is very good. front seat foam is good. I have all the factory A/C parts if you want to add them back for air. Car gets many waves and thumbs up and is a lot of fun to drive. You can literally drive this car anywhere you wanted to. Keep the patina look or you can repaint for the perfect car either way. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see it. Car is located in Ft Worth Texas. Thanks for looking!

Ford Mustang GT350 seen and heard in motion for the first time
Fri, 27 Sep 2013We just recently saw our first spy shots of the next-gen hi-po Ford Mustang slated to replace the Shelby GT500, but now we're getting our first look - and listen - of prototypes captured on video. Mustang6g.com has the video (along with some different spy shots), which show that, if nothing else, SVT knows how to tune an exhaust system. The :50 mark is a good example of this, but fast-forward to around 2:00 where the driver revs the engine and really gets on the throttle hard taking off from a stop.
There's still no definitive evidence that the next-gen SVT Mustang - said to be called GT350 - will be naturally aspirated, but it sounds just as menacing as the current Shelby GT500. While the video posted below exhibits the sort of quality that is to be expected from someone driving while trying to film someone who is attempting to elude being filmed, it's still exciting to see and hear this new Mustang in motion.
Ford F-150 SVT Raptor sales jumping to new heights
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Ford can't seem to build F-150 SVT Raptors fast enough. The off-road-ready trucks have been one of the Blue Oval's most reliable sellers, with record sales in eight of the last 10 months and a 14-percent jump in 2013. That's impressive enough, considering that the least expensive Raptor starts at $44,000. Factor in the modded F-150's fuel economy (it's rated at 11 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway) and a national average gas price, as of this writing, of $3.55 per gallon, and its success is as unlikely as Ford's home team, the Detroit Lions, winning the Super Bowl this year (sorry, Lions fans, we're just quoting the experts in Vegas...).
Yet for some reason, Raptors spend an average of just 15 days on dealer lots before being snapped up, which is a quarter of the 60-day industry average. According to Ford's truck group marketing manager, Doug Scott, it's capability that keeps the Raptor selling strong. "What's helping drive Raptor sales is that Raptor delivers unmatched off-road performance to our customers. Raptor is also proof of our commitment to offer a truck for every customer and continuously improving them to meet our customers' evolving needs."
To address the strong demand for Raptors, Ford will bump production from three trucks per hour to five. Not much, we agree. But building an extra 48 trucks per day, at most, seems like a prudent way of addressing demand without oversaturating what is ultimately a niche market. Check out the press release below for more.
2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
