We are selling this, and other cars from our private collection, to downsize as we approach the last decade before retirement. 
 
 
 
Note: Mileage on Odometer reads 70k+ but is not accurate. The original odometer was non-functioning & was replaced with a odometer from another 1963 Galaxie donor car during rebuild. Vehicle has less than 500 miles on her since rebuild. Trunk with new liner (factory reproduction) & tonneau covers... Battery on the passenger side, in marine style case.  Undercarriage:
RESPONSE TO QUESTION CONCERNING WHY WE ARE SELLING: "Dear C****, Thank you for the kind comments on the 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. It is, indeed, a "cool car". My wife & I decided to raise some cash to add to our retirement investments & begin to spend longer weekends enjoying a Class A RV that my wife & I just purchased, dingy towing a Jeep behind. Since we will be on the road more often & not be able to care for our collection, we decided to sell off most of our extensive collection, raising cash for retirement at the same time. We are only retaining a 1934 Ford Tudor, 1957 Chevy Bel Air, 1972 VW Beetle & a 1994 "Ruby" Corvette, each of which one of our children have laid claims on. The '63 Galaxie, our favorite "family" vehicle, was also our largest vehicle. Given that our youngest daughter has just moved away (finally, an "empty nest" after 39 years & 4 children), the odds of once again needing a large 4 seater for events will be nil going forward. The Convertible top, large trunk, powerful engine & the A/C made it a perfect car to take to shows & Street Rod Nationals, which we did quite often, both before & after the rebuild. Great memories... The Galaxie is in top mechanical condition & I feel comfortable driving it anywhere at any time. Engine idles nicely, transmission is tight, car accelerates smoothly & stops well. As items came to my attention for maintenance, they were addressed & resolved in the appropriate manner. Keep in mind that no 50+ year old vehicle is perfect & over time will need to be worked on. If you take care of her, she will be a great addition to your collection, to your family, and to your memories. Best regards, Bart" |

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers
Thu, 12 Jun 2014For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
Report: GM struggling to market turbo technology
Tue, 20 Apr 2010In the automotive realm, marketing can sometimes prove just as important as the actual product. Take, for instance, Ford's well regarded EcoBoost technology, which couples turbocharging with direct injection to produce more horsepower and reduce fuel consumption. Would it surprise you to hear that General Motors has had similar technology on the market for over three years?
It's true. GM's first turbocharged, direct injected powerplants hit the market for the 2007 model. The 2.0-liter Ecotec mills put down an impressive 260 horsepower and a matching 260 pound-feet of torque, and they were lauded by the press in the engine bays of the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt SS and Chevrolet HHR SS. But few people outside a core group of enthusiasts actually remember this fact.
Says Uwe Grebe, executive director of GM's global advanced engineering, "We didn't have a badge and say, 'This is the most important thing we will put on all our brochures.'" Ford, however, did just that, and it's EcoBoost engines are right at the tips of all our tongues when we discuss today's most advanced powerplants. So, how does The General fix its mistake?
