1964 2 Door Galaxie 500 Fastback on 2040-cars
Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a Kentucky car purchased in 2012 at the Barrett Jackson Auction in West Palm Beach, Florida. It has an upgraded 289cid small block, Top Loader 4 speed transmission, original Galaxie colors, new tires, 9" Ford rear end, factory suspension, dual exhaust, nice chrome and stainless with a straight body. Beautiful example of a vehicle built by Ford to be a high performance racing specifications machine. A larger forebearer to the muscle car. This model year was the fourth and final year of this body style. The formal roof "boxtop" style was replaced by the slanted (fastback) roof design. The exterior features a more sculpted look and was designed to be more aerodynamic for NASCAR. The Galaxie took to the racetracks in serious fashion in 1964 for the purpose of drag racing.
The car's interior underwent a complete restoration in 2012 with year correct seat covers with chrome trim emblems, new foam padding and burlap, new side panels, weatherstripping, new kick panels, and new trunk interior. This vehicle has been garage kept and meticulously maintained. If your looking for a Galaxie or just looking for a MEAN driving machine, your would be hard pressed to find a nicer one!!
Purchase is a Tax Deductible contribution to a scholarship fund in memory of a family memory of the owner. |

Ford lowers MPG ratings on six vehicles
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Ford has announced that it will be lowering the fuel economy ratings on a number of its 2013 and 2014 model year vehicles after an error was discovered in the company's internal testing data. The EPA has been notified.
Worryingly for Ford, the vast majority of the vehicles affected are hybrids, including the C-Max, Fusion and MKZ in both hybrid and plug-in varieties (where applicable). Also covered as part of the rerating is the entire lineup of 2014 Fiesta engines, with the exception of the ST, including the turbocharged, three-cylinder EcoBoost.
The C-Max was originally rated at 47/47/47 mpg, but dropped to 43/45/40 last year and now to 40/42/37.
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
1969 Ford Talladega GPT Special is a SEMA showstopper
Thu, 07 Nov 2013Rad Rides by Troy has unleashed upon the SEMA crowds this custom 1969 Ford Torino Talladega GT Special, and it's a beauty. The car calls to mind the classic Holman Moody stock cars that circled NASCAR tracks in the late 1960's, driven by the likes of Mario Andretti, Dan Gurney and David Pearson, who won the Grand National title in both 1968 and '69 in a Ford Torino.
Even though it has plenty of stock-car influence, there's nothing retro about the car's design or powertrain, other than the fact that the engine is based on a Ford Boss 429 block. Fuel injection, aftermarket aluminum heads and a high-tech custom computer system combine to send 750 reliable ponies to the rear wheels through a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. Brakes measure 14-inches all around, with six-piston Wilwood calipers up front and four-piston units out back.
There's custom bodywork abound, painted in a two-tone Tennessee Whiskey Gold and Daytona Sand finish. Check out all the amazing details in the image gallery below, and scroll down to read all about it in designer Troy Trepanier's own words.
