1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 2dr 6.4l on 2040-cars
Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States
|
For Sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 2Dr. It has a clear Michigan Title. I don't know it's history, but understand it was a barn-find in Virginia. The vehicle has a 352 CID V8 that was bored-out sometime in the past to a 390 CID. In the past year it has received the following parts: new convertible top, new piston rings and push rods, new timing chain and sprockets, new gaskets, new fuel pump, new starter, new generator and voltage regulator, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt transmission, tune-up including points/plugs/condenser/rotor and cap, rebuilt carburetor, new u-joints, new thermostat, rebuilt shifting linkage, rebuilt brake master and wheel cylinders, used exhaust manifolds, new fluids, and front and rear spring stiffeners. The body has an older restoration - the paint shines up nicely but does have a few imperfections. The convertible top is brand new, and operates with power. There is a little rust-through on one rocker panel. The interior is original, and in good condition for its age. There are no tears or holes in the seats, and all of the glass is in great shape and the windows operate well. The tires have great tread, however, there are some signs of cracking in the sidewalls. The car runs well, shifts great, and the older dual exhaust sounds good. The speedometer and odometer work. The odometer reads 61,000+ miles, but I don't know how accurate that is. Wipers, heater and lights work also. This is a used car with no warranties. It is sold in an as-is condition. I've tried to list everything I can - don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of close of auction, balance due in Cash, PayPal or Certified Check within 10 days. Buyer responsible for shipping. |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.
How Ford's light lab keeps the sun shining on the new Mustang just right [w/video]
Thu, 02 Jan 2014Anyone who's bought one of those old school metal shift knobs knows they're really cool until they sit in a parking lot in the sun for a few hours. Then they're not cool at all. Likewise, features such as the aluminum dash on the 2015 Ford Mustang can be all kinds of neat right up until the sun hits it just the right way and sends shards of blinding light through the cabin. The Ford Visual Performance and Evaluation Lab is where engineers figure out how to make sure that doesn't happen.
Cars like said Mustang are parked inside the 30-foot reflecting dome under 6,000 watts of lights that can mimic the sun at any time of day and in any weather condition. Engineers can then spend cold, overcast days inside, testing for interior legibility, glare and reflections on every interior and exterior surface as if it were bright and sunny. They can also learn how a car's sheetmetal and colors will look out of doors, all year round.
Ford showed off the lighting lab without the music and interviews three years ago when the Explorer was being prepared. You can watch it at work again in the video below, and read about it in the press release below that.
