1963 1/2 Galaxie 500

Up for auction is a nice mostly original 1963 Galaxie 500 Fastback. The car retains its original C-code 289 that has been upgraded with an original Ford cast iron 4V intake and a Holley 4V carb, automatic transmission, and power steering. The engine has received a recent tune up. It also received a small dress up kit with Cobra valve covers and a chrome air breather, similar to those who remember the 289 hi-po engines. The power steering works but has a leak in one of the lines that I will be working on. It has glass pack dual exhaust. A brand new set of eagle ”torque thrust” style wheels were mounted on with tires that has great tread. The front wheels are 15x7 and the rears 15x8. The body is in very good shape for the year. It appears to have had one repaint of the original color. There are a few small places that are starting to bubble up but no rust through. Paint is average, a great daily driver but no show winner. The frame and floors are free of rust or rot. This is an exceptionally solid car for the year. The interior is all original from the headliner to the carpet. All of the lights work, headlights low and high beam, turn signals, brake lights etc. The temp gauge, windshield wipers, and the speedometer are also in working order. The blower motor, original AM radio, and fuel gauge are not working at this time. As far as running condition, it starts and runs great. The dual exhaust has a great vintage sound, the steering is tight and the brakes work well. This car will make a great daily driver or weekend cruise in car show candidate. Drive and enjoy it this summer. Please give me a call with any question. 765-376-3486 Thanks and Happy Bidding!!!

William Clay Ford Sr. dead at 88

Sun, 09 Mar 2014

William Clay Ford, retired vice chairman of Ford Motor Company and the last surviving grandchild of company founder Henry Ford, died this morning after a bout with pneumonia. He was 88.
Ford spent 57 years with his grandfather's company, joining the board of directors in 1948 before graduating from college. Ford also held a position as chairman of the design committee, as well as the chairman of the executive committee and vice chairman of the Board of Directors during his tenure with the company. In a 2013 Detroit Free Press story, retired CFO Allan Gilmour said Ford had an eye for design, and was once able to pick out when a fiberglass model of a Ford Contour was asymmetrical, off by an inch on one side. He retired and assumed the position of director emeritus in 2005.
"My father was a great business leader and humanitarian who dedicated his life to the company and the community," said Bill Ford, Jr., Ford's current executive chairman. "He also was a wonderful family man, a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, yet he will continue to inspire us all."

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
