Up for auction is a 1963 Galaxie 500 4 door sedan. It has the original 352 big block engine that I upgraded with a 1963 Police Interceptor Aluminum intake and 1963 4100 Autolite 4 bbl carburetor. Also the heads are off a 1964 390 with a complete valve job. The headers are reproduction cast iron shorties just like the police cars had in 1963. I did not rebuild the bottom end because the original main bearings dated 8/11/62 were still in like new condition. The engine runs very strong. Also a complete 2 1/4" dual exhaust system with Dynomax SS welded mufflers. The cruise-o-matic transmission shifts and drives good. The rear end is the original 9" ford open differential with 3.00 gears. The factory power steering system has also been completely restored with all new parts from the PS pump to the tie rod ends.
Exterior repairs that I have completed are as follows right and left rear quarter panel replacement, floor pan and trunk pan replacement and drivers side rear door replacement. The front clip was stripped down to bare metal and any rust was removed. All weather stripping has been replaced including windshield and rear glass gaskets. All exterior rust was cut out and new metal was welded in. the only rust left on the car is in three of the four doors Those areas would take less than 2" diameter patches to repair. Also there are NOS Front and Rear Bumpers installed.
Interior repairs that have been completed are New carpeting, New door panels and seat covers that were made from NOS ford vinyl. The dash was disassembled stripped and painted to match the interior. An NOS Police speedo was installed and a 17" steering wheel was restored and installed.
Additional things that have been completed are The original drum brake system was completely rebuilt to factory specs. 5 New 15" tires were mounted on replacement 15 X 5.5" steel rims and capped off with a set of OEM Stainless Steel Dog Dish hubcaps.
All of the exterior molding is in average shape and will go with the car.
I have owned the car since 2009. During that time I have invested over 10K in parts to restore this car. I have all the receipts that will go with the car. Also going with the car is a photo book that documents the entire process of repair to date since 2009.
If you would like to see this entire process all the photos are posted on my FB page. Just follow the link below.

The reason I am selling this car is that I have too many projects to finish any so I decided to part with this beauty that just needs a little more TLC.
The car runs good and I am not afraid to take it anywhere. In March I drove it to Myrtle Beach for Run to the Sun car show.
Buyer is responsible for shipping. The car will only be released after complete payment has been received. It can be picked up locally and driven anywhere.

Ford Focus refresh shots leak ahead of Geneva
Sun, 23 Feb 2014In case you haven't been paying attention, Ford has been gradually redesigning its lineup to sport a familiar face. The Aston Martin-inspired grille shape debuted on the Fusion and was soon applied to the Fiesta. Even the front end of the new Mustang takes its cues from the same, and we're sure other models will soon be made-over to fall in line. The next on the docket? The Focus.
Set to be unveiled in little over a week at the Geneva Motor Show, the revised Focus has leaked out a tad early, revealing a mild facelift that bears that same trapezoidal grille with horizontal slats. Along with the new grille, the headlights, lower fascia and hood appear to have been reshaped. Around back there appears to be a new rear bumper and taillights, but otherwise the shape remains largely the same as the current model.
Expect the updates to be applied to all bodystyles offered around the world, including the hatchback, wagon and sedan. The engine lineup is expected to carry over largely unchanged, though the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the C-Max Energi could port over to the revised Focus. Plus Ford seems to have taken the opportunity to spruce things up in the cabin some. Check it out in the image gallery above and watch this space for the official announcement as we pack our bags for Switzerland.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
Tanner Foust tackles 'Ring in SVT Raptor
Sat, 16 Mar 2013Here's a math problem: if Tanner Foust has a 24 hours to kill in Germany and one blue Ford Raptor, how long will it take him to decide he wants to lap The Nürburgring? Extra credit if you can get your answer precise to the millisecond.
A very truck-like and slidey lap of the 'Ring is exactly what happened when the Ford-sponsored rallycross driver took time off from set-up duties for his 'day job.' Thankfully no one even thought to worry about posting a time, but you can watch some Raptor skid marks getting laid down between the kerbs in the video below.
