Offering a real decent 1964 Ford Galaxie from an older farmer. Been in his barn for decades and in poor health. I pulled it out and cleaned it up and found it to be super solid. Paint is all original except for the passenger fender which appears to have been replaced and repainted at some time long ago. Typical rock chips and scratches here and there all over it. Grille has a couple minor dings as some in mouldings here and there. The seat covers and carpet were dry rotted so were removed to expose super solid floors with the original paint still on them. The car would be virtually rust free if a mouse had not moved into the left lower quarter and built a nest. Has the typical rear bumper rust line like most 64 big cars have due to mud. This car shows no salt damage any where! I put NOS fairlane seat covers (not galaxie as they were not available) and aftermarket new carpets and headliner. The motor had frozen rings on one piston causing a miss (reason he parked it) so we pulled it and remanufactured the engine including all new pistons bored cylinders .040 over size pistons,rings,turned crank -.010-.010,new bearings,cam lifters,timing components,water pump,valve job etc. Normally I would not have messed with a four door but this car was too solid and nice not to. Has a new clutch and throwout bearing. Transmission and rear end have been serviced. Replaced the rear u-joint, All NEW wheel cylinders and brake shoes. Repacked front wheel bearings. New windshield and back glass gaskets. Has original script glass. Windshield has some pitting and bit cloudy on the right outside edge. Original door panels that have some minor nicks here and there and light sun damage. Steering wheel is nice and dash and garnish mouldings have new correct rangoon red paint with clear coat. Engine internals and machine work are all documented with pictures and receipts. Interior work documented also. If you want a fun car and so perfect that you are afraid to drive it this is a solid and dependable car. Has less than 50 miles on everything done to it. Literally redid the car to sell it. You would be hard pressed to purchase a car and do what has been done to this car for the asking price. I have about 150 project cars here and this is one of the most solid original cars I have come by for a reasonable price in a long time. I will not mind driving this one myself. This car has a lot more power than I expected and drives smooth and straight.

How the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor became a reality
Wed, 01 May 2013The camouflaged Ford F-150 SVT Raptor prototype captured above blazing its way across the desert during a test run left company engineers giggling in amazement, reveals Jamal Hameedi in a new Autoweek video. Ford's global performance vehicle chief engineer, accompanied by senior exterior designer Bruce Williams, sat down with the publication to discuss the concept and development of the automaker's super off-road F-150.
Designing a high-performance pickup in 2008, right when the cost of gasoline was going through the roof, seemed insane at the time, but the team pushed forward with the innovative vehicle regardless. The interview includes plenty of Ford B-roll footage as visual candy, and the conversations include discussions about exterior design, ride comfort, anti-lock brake tuning, suspension engineering, weight reduction and why it was necessary to make the Raptor visually different than Ford's standard F-150. The model's origin story is very interesting, and you can learn more about it by watching the video below.
New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'
Sun, 08 Jun 2014Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.
Ford C-Max Solar Energi takes a recharging station wherever it goes
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Companies ranging in size from small startups to major automakers have been experimenting with solar-powered charging stations for EVs and plug-in hybrids. And, of course, people have been powering vehicles with onboard solar panels for quite some time, too. Still, Ford's new C-Max Solar Energi Concept shows the promise of a truly practical implementation of solar on a production vehicle, and it may not be as far off in the future as we had thought.
As we reported a few days ago, the Solar concept makes use of a "concentrator lens" that focuses sunlight onto the Ford's roof-mounted solar panels. The special lens follows the rays of the sun to maximize the amount of charge being fed to the batteries of the car, taking about a day to fully charge the 21-mile, all-electric range of the C-Max Energi. Ford data suggests that combination might be enough to power 75 percent of all trips made by a statistically average driver. In turn, using the sun to power a vehicle could reduce yearly C02 emissions by up to four metric tons when compared with the driver of an average gasoline-powered sedan.
We've got live images of the C-Max Solar Energi Concept, jauntily tilted on its display to best present it's signature solar panels, straight from the CES floor.
