1964 Ford Galaxie

I've been looking for a 64 Ford Galaxie 500, for about 8 years now. And I thought I had finally found one that was in my price range and in fairly good condition for the money, That is according to the seller, well the car was not as clean and pretty as Chris described in his E-bay AD. He also stated that it starts right-up everytime, well that was not the case with this car. When the "Auto transporter" delivered the car to me the battery was dead and the car would not start. The driver that delivered the car stated that he had been trying to charge the battery to get the vehicle ready for me when I picked it up. We finally got the car started but it would not stay on. When I left the parking lot it was OK, as soon as I got to the first light to stop the car Died on me and I couldn't get it started again. I had to have it towed to my house. there are some serious electrical problems with the car, the alternator does not even work, meaning that it does not even charge the battery. And chris also stated that there was no RUST on the car. Well beleive me there is plenty of RUST on this car. I understand that this is an old car.... My only issue with Chris is that Its not in as good a shape as he described it in the AD. He really left alot of things out that he should have told me. $5600.00 may not be alot of money to some people / Chris, but its a hell of alot of money to me. I just feel that Chris really misrepresented the car all together. He is not a very honest person, I'm sorry to say. He also said to me that he will not leave me any feedback until I leave it first."I don't understand this at all". I thought the only thing that I had to do to get my positive feedback was send him all the money as we agreed, well I've done exactlly what he has asked of me, he has been paid in full for the car and now he wants me to leave him his feedback first. Well to be honest with you my feedback to him will not be very positive, I think this is why he wants me to leave it first. THIS IS TOTALLY NOT FAIR. I am strongly considering filing a complaint with E-bay. And I am prepared to take photographs of all the issues the car has, that chris failed to disclose to the buyer.

After many conversations with seller, I was led to believe car was in primo condition - I even sent a mechanic friend in Miami to check car but it was not at sellers location so we never could see car to confirm sellers claims. It also took over 2 weeks to receive car - seller had several excuses for delays. I bought car 8/10/09 and recived it late afternoon 8/28/09. I would not recommend buying a car from EUROPEAN MOTOR SALES in Miami. I bought the car as a result of excellent description by salesman which proved to be exagerated.

The car is something special to me. I had a car like this long ago and love it. This one looks and runs better than the first one. I hope to deal with Steve again.

I guess what you want is how I like the 1964 Galaxie that I bought. All I bought it for was a sample car for the convertable that I'm restoring. It seems to be more together than most of the ones that I've seen for parts cars. I love the type of car anyway and this one will go back on the road someday also.

Brought the car for myself. Had some issues but I am satisfy with the car. Thanks
