1962 FORD GALAXIE 500 XL CLASSIC CAR/LOWRIDER-AIR RIDE/HOT ROD/SHOW CAR VIDEO LINK BELOW TO YOU TUBE: The INTERIOR of this 62 was completed with a Burgundy on Black color coordination that added great comfort and a show quality finish to the interior. The 500XL stitching on the back of the seats ads that extra quality and design to the interior. The entire floor and roof of the car has been layered with Dynamat. This has greatly reduced road noise and improved the quality of the sound system that has been added to the car. When the new headliner was installed I added a new Windshield, and added all new gaskets to every part of the car. Shortly after the interior completion the dash color was modified by removing the factory dash pad and sprayed with a two stage Ford color-Dark Cherry Metallic paint made by DIAMONT to match the interior. It was chosen to enhance the look of this new interior. Some new dash bezels were added as well as temperature and oil sending gauges for highly accurate readings. The interior was finished off with a great sound system customized just for this car. THIS IS A SMOKE FREE CLASSIC CAR! The SOUND: 1-JVC -50W X4 Mofset Apple/ipod/Satellite Radio-Ready in Dash CD/DVD Deck-Model: KWAV70BT 2-JBL 4”X6” 2 way Car speakers with plus one HCL Woofer cones Model: JBLP6462 1-Infinity Kappa One 1600W Class D Digital Mono Amplifier 2-Infinity Kappa One 10” Subwoofers 100.9W-2 ohms-mounted in the trunk in a specially designed box. 2-Pioneer 6X9 rear speakers 2-4” SCOSCHE speakers mounted in specially designed kick panels by Rhino Fabrication. 1 Alpine 4 Channel KTP-445U Power Pack Universal Amp.
No holes were cut inside this car for any of the customization that was done in the interior. All of the original metal panels remain intact as it was when the vehicle was made in 1962. All of the chrome trim, original radio, dash bezels and console pieces remain intact. The interior is of showroom quality. The interior dash bulbs were upgraded to a brighter more luminescent bulb that really shows the instrument panel when night driving. The STEERING WHEEL has been covered with a special order Leather Wheel Skin cover made by: WheelSkins.com
The ENGINE of this car was completely rebuilt by a professional and completed June 2013. It is the original Ford 390 big block with some upgrades as listed: TO LIST A FEW: MSD Ignition System/Summit Racing .533 Lift/Exh. Comp Camshaft/Summit Racing Comp Roller Rockers/Jegs High Performance Bored .30 with High Comp. Pistons/Rings/Bearings Edelbrock Mid-Rise Aluminum Intake Quick Flow SS-750 4 Barrel Double Pumper Carburetor/Recent addition: Dual Spectre Carburetor Plenum with 2 Filters and a Holley Fuel Regulator. New Chrome 7” Brake Booster Edelbrock High Rise Aluminum Valve Covers Edelbrock Chrome Breather 16” electric pusher fan Chrome Oil Pan 120 gph Holley Fuel Pump… and many extras…
This ENGINE is completely awesome, runs and performs with EXCELLENCE! There are 600 miles on the engine since it was recently completed-2013. The car is garage kept and occasionally driven to local car shows and has never been in rain since painted. THE TRANSMISSION of this car came with a Ford Cruise O Matic transmission but replaced with a 4 SPEED T-10 Borg Warner that was rebuilt and installed in this car 1 month ago. This T-10 has WIDE Gear Ratios which are: 1st.-2.64/2nd.-1.75/ 3rd.-1.62/ 4th.-1.00. Instead of installing the original shifter I upgraded to a HURST Comp Plus 4 speed shifter. I located the original 4 speed 500 XL Center console plate and has been re-chromed! Inside the ribs located in the chrome center console need to be painted so the small pits can be covered.
The WHEELS are New 17” Cragar Series 390C Chrome Street Pro 2-piece composite wheel with traditional hot rod styling. These Cragar wheels are mounted on TOYO PROXES 4 P245/45ZR/17 Tires. The BRAKES are drum on all 4 wheels. They have been turned and have been completely equipped with new cylinders and pads. The original booster was replaced with a new 7” chrome booster to allow clearance for the high valve covers. The brakes are 4 wheel drum brakes and stopping power is excellent. The UNDERCARRIAGE of the car has been stripped clean repainted and is free of grease and dirt. Liquid Dynamat undercoating has been applied from front to rear of the car. The rear end is the original Ford 9”-3:00:1 ratio and the EXHUAST recently completed with 2-1/2” pipe that holds 2 Flowmaster 10 mufflers. The Flowmaster 10’s give it an awesome sound with a deep tone. THE SUSPENSION is NEW and has been completely upgraded with Air Ride Technologies Level 2 Air Ride system. “The LEVEL 2 system provides more tuning with the addition of a Shockwave® front kit and the enhanced RideProe3™ control system. The front Shockwave® system is a simple bolt-on install. The single shock and air spring unit provides a cleaner appearance and offers adjustable shock valving to aid in tuning. A Ridetech 4-Link will position the rear more precisely and eliminate the flexing and instability of the leaf spring rear. The 5 gallon RidePro®e3 system provides 4 way digital control. It allows 3 system air pressure presets to provide accurate adjustments with the touch of just one button.” I ordered this system with 2 remotes that allow the system to be adjusted with a touch of a button. It rides like a new car and handles far better than you could ever get with the factory suspension. The TRUNK has been customized and carpeted. Panels have been custom fit and covered to give it a great look as well as a great sound barrier. Dynamat also covers the floor of the trunk and the inner fender wells to reduce noise and improve sound quality. Also, covered panels have been cut to custom fit the inner trunk lid for an added barrier. The EXTERIOR is a Ford color that was used on later model Ford vehicles. Dark Cherry Metallic was chosen early on for this project. One coat of sealer primer rests underneath 2 coats of Dark Cherry Metallic paint and 3 coats of Southern Polyurethane clear/ cut and buffed to a mirror finish. The exterior chrome was removed to give the car a more LOWRIDER feel and streamline effect. This is after all, a MODIFIED street rod not to be mistaken for an all ORIGINAL car. The FRONT BUMPER has been completely restored and triple chromed by Tri-City Plating in Elizabethton, TN. The rear bumper is driver quality but needs to be re-chromed. The headlight bezels were repaired and re-chromed by Atlantic Coast Plating in Athens, TN and 4 Chrome (Ford) Headlight protective rings were added for a greater appeal. The car could be cut and buffed once again if the buyer chooses to get an even better shine out of the paint. To get a deeper more illustrious gloss the car can be re-cleared up to 8+ more times. The clear coat is Southern Polyurethane 4000-1. 1:1 ratio.
EXTRA’S added in with this sale: Original Intake (Cleaned, polished and painted) Original Holly 4 barrel Carburetor Most of the narrow side, trunk and hood chrome. (Missing 1 pc off the left front fender) Some extra dash chrome trim pieces / 2 (EXTRA) 1962 Ford Galaxie doors with chrome and glass-L/R Original kick panels / 1 New unopened Quart of Diamont Dark Cherry Metallic Paint as well as some Southern Poly clear coat These items are also included in the sale!!!
FOR THE BUYER: This 1962 Ford Galaxie 500XL has countless man hours and over $45,000.00 of receipts associated with this rebuild project.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club
Thu, Nov 20 2014Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.
NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue
Mon, 29 Oct 2012A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
2015 Ford Focus Sedan is fresh-faced and ready to defend its Most Popular crown
Wed, 09 Apr 2014Ford has made an art of deeper-than-normal midlife updates since the 2010 Fusion, a strategy that has allowed it to keep models looking fresher in showrooms for longer without needing full redesigns. Instead of slight touchups to light fixtures, new paint colors and perhaps new wheel patterns, Ford has been digging deeper, with significant sheetmetal changes and very different front-end looks, along with an increased emphasis on new in-car technologies to keep models vibrant. Other automakers are following this trend, and Ford itself is continuing on the path with this new 2015 Focus Sedan.
There's a handsome new SE Sport Package that includes a firmer touring suspension, modest body kit and 17-inch wheels.
We first saw this sleek Aston Martin-like nose fitted to a Focus at the Geneva Motor Show last month, but Ford only showed the new look on the five-door hatchback - this is the first appearance of the sedan, which will bow at next week's New York Auto Show. The front end treatment is the same, with a new hood, new headlamps incorporating LED accents, a different grille shape and a completely revised lower fascia that does away with the 2014 model's controversial triangle-shaped corners and gaping intakes. The rear gets a new two-piece, laser-brazed trunk lid with new taillamps, but the overall look is quite similar to last year's car. In any case, the refreshed look brings the Focus sedan more in line with the design of Ford's other recently reworked cars, including the Fusion and Fiesta.
