1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Vintage Original Unrestored Classic V8 Factory Ac Ca Car on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
Our 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door hard top with 260 V8 is an all original unrestored car. It was manufactured in Dallas, TX and shipped to California. We have the original owner's manual and are the second owners. It has always been garaged and well maintained. The title is clear and in my name. It has the original two tone Glacier Blue paint with the Viking Blue hard top. The paint is in really good condition with some minor touchup paint applied to nicks by the first owner. The body and original molding is in really nice, straight condition. There's one small dent in this car near the grille on the passenger side and that's it. Original wheels and hub caps. The wheels have some superficial rust on them. Michelin tires are about 75% or better remaining tread. All the glass is in nice condition with no cracks or chips. All of the window cranks work freely. Original seatbelts. The seats show a patina where the white sections are not pure white anymore. Carpet is in great shape with no rot. Headliner is original and in great shape. Dome light cover is missing. Dash paint is weathered a bit as seen in photos but as with the rest of the car, I left it as is unrestored. This car has Ford factory air conditioning and it works but is blowing cool air and not ice cold so it could probably use a recharge. All of the dash instruments work including the original AM radio, heater, defroster, turn signals, horn, etc. All of the exterior lights work. The 260 V8 runs very quiet with no ticking, tapping, knocking or faltering. It starts right up and has no modifications to it. It gets exercised and serviced regularly and has not been sitting. The water pump and AC belt were recently replaced. The automatic transmission goes into gear with a positive bump as it should and does not slip, clunk or falter. Brakes work as they should without pulling to one side or the other. We keep this in the garage and it doesn't leak any fluids. These Galaxies are only truly original like this once. |

Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy
Sat, Sep 5 2015Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.
Ford recalling 205k Edge and Lincoln MKX units for possible corrosion
Thu, 30 Oct 2014After the horrible weather last winter, it's hard to look forward for the season to return this year. For those readers in much of the country, the snow is going to be flying soon, and with it comes salt on the roads. That means Ford's regional recall for the 2007-2008 Edge and Lincoln MKX arrives at the perfect time because they are at risk for corrosion.
The campaign covers 204,448 examples of the models in 21 states, plus the District of Columbia and some provinces of Canada. In total there are 186,024 vehicles in need of repair in the US and 18,424 in Canada.
According to Ford, it's possible for the area, "under the reinforcement brackets where the fuel tank is mounted" to corrode. If this happens, there might be a gas smell in the vehicle or even a fuel leak could develop. In fact, the automaker reports that one fire could be related to the problem but no injuries or accidents are reported.
Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy
Tue, 16 Jul 2013Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.
