1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 6.4l on 2040-cars
Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States
|
For Sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2Dr convertible. It has a clear Michigan title. I don't know it's history, but understand it was a barn-find in Virginia. It has a 352 V-8 engine that sometime in the past was bored-out to a 390 CID. It is a manual transmission - 3 speed shifter in the steering column. Manual steering and manual brakes. It has a new convertible top, which operates by power. In the last year, it has received new piston rings, push rods, all new gaskets and seals, new timing chain and sprockets, rebuilt transmission, new generator and voltage regulator, new starter, new fuel pump, new gas tank and sending unit, tune-up with points/condenser/cap/spark plugs, carburetor rebuild, new thermostat, shifting linkage rebuild, spring suspension supports, and brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders rebuild. The car runs well, and drives like a dream. Older dual exhaust on NOS exhaust manifolds sounds great. A larger radiator was installed sometime in the past. Holley 2 BBL carb. It has an older body restoration, the paint shines nicely, but there are some imperfections, the trim is all attached, but not in perfect shape. There is some rust-through on a lower rocker panel, and a little rust on the floor board. The tires have great tread, but are several years old and do show some signs of cracking in the sidewalls. Interior appears to be original. Seats have no holes or tears, the door panels and side panels are a little worn, but everything is there and in OK shape. All of the glass is in great shape, and the windows all operate freely. Headlights, wipers, turn signals, speedometer and odometer work. The odometer shows 61,000+ miles, but I have no way of knowing if that's accurate. This car is fun to drive. I've tried to list as much information as possible, please don't hesitate to ask questions. This car has no warranty, and is being sold as is. It is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to close the auction early if it does sell. I have posted a few pictures. Good Faith Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of close of the auction. Final payment within 10 days. Funds will be cash or PayPal only. Transportation at the buyer's expense. |

GM readying aluminum-body fullsize pickups
Wed, 19 Feb 2014Ford's extensive use of aluminum in its 2015 F-150 is a big deal. A really big deal. Big enough, in fact, that General Motors is reportedly changing its fullsize pickup strategy. According to The Wall Street Journal, The General has locked in partnerships with Alcoa Inc. and Novelis Inc. - companies that will supply aluminum for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
"Ford's introduction of the 2015 F-150 pickup truck was a game changer, and it's the first, not the last, conversion of this type," Novelis spokesperson Charles Belbin told the Journal. The switch to aluminum has allowed Ford to shave roughly 700 pounds off its fullsize truck's curb weight. And while official mileage ratings have not been announced, the weight loss should go a long way for improving efficiency, especially when combined other efficiency-minded improvements including better aerodynamics and new, turbocharged V6 engines.
Of course, aluminum-bodied cars are nothing new. But extensive use of aluminum in a major, best-selling product like the Ford F-150 is expected to kick off widespread use of this weight-saving material as availability rises and cost decreases. The WSJ reports that GM had originally explored the idea of moving to aluminum pickups back in 2008, but abandoned the idea due to cost concerns amid economic woes.
Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang appears at EAA Oshkosh
Sat, 26 Jul 2014Ford is back at the Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, WI, on July 31 auctioning off its seventh Mustang for charity, and this is one seriously mean looking 2015 'Stang. All of the money from the sale goes to give free introductory flights to young people to get them interested in aviation.
We recently saw this latest EAA Mustang as a sketch. However, it looks a whole lot more menacing in person. Dubbed the Ford F-35 Lightning II Edition Mustang, it takes liberal inspiration from Lockheed Martin's latest fighter jet, and the customization makes the pony car look ready for a role in Top Gun.
On the outside, the special Mustang wears titanium-color paint that's offset by a black and yellow stripe running from hood to rear. Out back things get really wild with a mix of bright yellow and black that flows diagonally all the way to the rear spoiler. The design is based on the livery of early production F-35s. If the rousing color scheme isn't enough to get you interested, the car also gets a carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, lowered suspension and a set of custom 21-inch wheels with yellow brake calipers.
Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation
Sat, 09 Aug 2014
The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
