Up for auction is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL, 4 dr. hardtop. The car is white in color, with a blue interior. This vehicle may be used for either restoration, or as a parts car. The car has not run in approximately 10+ years. The engine was overhauled at about 80-85,000 miles, but the odometer is at over 160,000 now. The car was parked due to the exhaust manifold bolts being broken off while a "mechanic" was attempting to replace the manifold gaskets. When he removed the intake manifold to have the broken bolts removed, he neglected to clean the debris from the valley, and consequently partially clogged the oil screen/pickup. Car was not driven with the oil light on, or with low oil pressure. I purchased the car to repair, but other projects came first, and the repairs were not done, so the car has sat idle for over 10 tears. This is a complete car, less the generator, brackets for the generator, and other small miscellaneous under-hood items. The car is factory equipped with bucket seats and console, with console mounted shifter. The floor pans are in good condition, to the best of my knowledge (haven't pulled up the carpet to look) , but have looked under the car. The trunk floor is rusted out, due to a bad trunk weatherstrip. The trunk floor will have to be replaced, as will the trunk weatherstrip. Interior is complete. Glass is intact, but the front windshield is cracked at the bottom. The car has been kept covered to prevent water intrusion into the interior. Seats and door panels are in good to better- than- fair condition. Headliner is there, but has fallen in some places.All exterior moldings and trim are in place, and for the most part has only tarnishing, but no dents. The body is in very good condition for the age, with some minor rust out on the lower rear quarter panels behind the wheel wells (due to trunk rust out). Car has factory spinner (tri-bar) wheel covers, and a pair of stainless skirts. Windows roll up and down. The car has no factory air conditioning, no power locks, no power windows, no power seats. Car will have to be picked up at my location, or the buyer must arrange for transport to his/her location, at his/her expense. You must make your own arrangements for transport of the vehicle. Car will not leave these premises until payment is made in full. If the buyer is to personally pick up the car at my location, cash is acceptable. The only other form of payment to be accepted will be via PayPal. The car is sold AS IS, with no warranties, either expressed or implied. If you have any questions, please ask. Pictures are posted.. There is a low reserve on the vehicle. I would rather sell it cheap, as see it go to the crusher or for junk. Car is sold with a Bill of Sale only. Vehicles in Alabama were not issued a title prior to the 1975 model year.

The car DOES have factory air conditioning. An error was made in the original listing.

Ken Block ain't got a care about ruining his wheels
Tue, 22 Jan 2013During a drifting session at Irwindale Speedway in California, Ken Block made a boo-boo that would send a number of drivers immediately back to the infield. But there's an answer to "What do you do when you bash the wall while drifting and your wheel explodes?" and there's completely different answer when the question begins with the phrase, "When you're Ken Block..."
Instead of us telling you how Block handled the calamity in his Ford Fiesta competition car, you can watch it happen in the video below. You can probably also guess what it is - but it's more fun to watch.
Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues
Fri, 26 Sep 2014Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.
Watch these Australian Ford and Holden muscle cars duke it out
Wed, 21 Aug 2013Australia's Motoring has put together a little video on two of the great performance vehicles available down under - the Holden VF Commodore HSV GTS and the Ford Falcon FPV GT R-Spec. And while both FPV and the Falcon might be on their way out, there's still plenty of time for a little head-to-head comparison between the two.
The cars aren't all that well evenly matched, though. The Ford boasts a 5.0-liter, supercharged V8, which the Aussies measure out at 449 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The HSV, though, with its Corvette-derived, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 is just too powerful - 576 hp and 545 lb-ft of torque.
Predictably, it doesn't end too well for the Ford. As the guys from Motoring point out, the new VF Commodore is just too new and too good, with its extra power and its adaptive dampers (GM's excellent MagnaRide). Interestingly, Motoring did point out that the Holden's electric steering is better than the Ford's hydraulic steering, which is a lot like a Porsche purist saying they prefer water-cooled engines to air cooled.
