Round Mountain, California, United States

 Our 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door hard top with 260 V8 is an all original unrestored car.  It was manufactured in Dallas, TX and shipped to California.  We have the original owner's manual and are the second owners.  It has always been garaged and well maintained.  The title is clear and in my name. 

It has the original two tone Glacier Blue paint with the Viking Blue hard top.  The paint is in really good condition with some minor touchup paint applied to nicks by the first owner.  The body and original molding is in really nice, straight condition.  There's one small dent in this car near the grille on the passenger side and that's it. Original wheels and hub caps.  The wheels have some superficial rust on them. Michelin tires are about 75% or better remaining tread.

All the glass is in nice condition with no cracks or chips.  All of the window cranks work freely.  Original seatbelts.  The seats show a patina where the white sections are not pure white anymore.  Carpet is in great shape with no rot.  Headliner is original and in great shape.  Dome light cover is missing. Dash paint is weathered a bit as seen in photos but as with the rest of the car, I left it as is unrestored.

This car has Ford factory air conditioning and it works but is blowing cool air and not ice cold so it could probably use a recharge.  All of the dash instruments work including the original AM radio, heater, defroster, turn signals, horn, etc. All of the exterior lights work.

The 260 V8 runs very quiet with no ticking, tapping, knocking or faltering.  It starts right up and has no modifications to it. It gets exercised and serviced regularly and has not been sitting.  The water pump and AC belt were recently replaced.  The automatic transmission goes into gear with a positive bump as it should and does not slip, clunk or falter. Brakes work as they should without pulling to one side or the other.  We keep this in the garage and it doesn't leak any fluids.

These Galaxies are only truly original like this once.

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Here at Autoblog, we've officially stamped December 5, 2013, as Ford Mustang Day. Sure, the sixth-generation Pony Car started leaking out onto the web days ago, but all of the official, non-embargoed hotness has come out today. And man, there's been a lot.
In terms of new car debuts, this is a really big one - not unlike all of the Corvette madness that kicked off the 2013 automotive season. So to make sure you haven't missed anything, here's a wrap-up of everything you need to know about the 2015 Ford Mustang.

Hennessey Ford GT sets 267.6-MPH record at Texas Mile [w/videos]

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

The record-setting Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT we showed you at this time last year headed back to the Texas Mile and managed to bring home yet another record. As you may recollect, last year saw Mark Heidraker's machine sprint to a record 257.7 mph thanks to propulsion from its twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8. The big mill sucks down race gas, and this year the creation pulled off a 267.6-mph run over the weekend. That feat set a new record for the event. Something tells us neither Heidraker nor Hennessey are done squeezing more thrust from this machine.
This particular Ford GT has already gone through a number of permutations. Hennessey started by tweaking the factory supercharger set up before abandoning the blower in favor of two turbos. Since then, the crew has poked and prodded it to coerce as much grunt as possible out of the car. We expect Hennessey will probably come out with a video of the record-setting run shortly, but in the meantime, you can see a couple of videos of the car's runs in Texas below (one of which actually captures the record run). Enjoy.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
