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.

Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Ford gets its Movement on, releases 'Sounds of Focus' tracks

Sun, 25 May 2014

Ford has, for at least the second year in a row, teamed up with techno promoter Paxahau and a couple of artists to make music in recognition of the Detroit Movement music festival. This time, Movement performers Ataxia and Secrets were selected by Ford, and were invited to spend some time at the automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant, which gives birth to the Ford Focus and Focus Electric models.
Now that we know the what, how about the why? According to Ford, "Detroit is uniquely tied to the origins of the electronic music scene. In the 1980's variations of electronic music stemmed from inspirations of industry, including the automotive sector." So, there you go. If you're interest is piqued, feel free to read the press release, watch the video and listen to the tracks below.
