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. |

2015 Ford Mustang GT [w/video]
Fri, 19 Sep 2014At 50 years old, the object of fantasies, a tuner's dream, a movie star and more than nine million strong, it couldn't be truer to say that the Ford Mustang needs no introduction. This newest Mustang, however - making the biggest changes we've seen to the pony car since perhaps 1964.5 - is something Ford has been introducing all year.
We went on a Deep Dive, covered the way it looks when it was revealed, detailed the engine specs, got a ride in the EcoBoost and listened to the V8, got rolling footage and watched it do a standard-feature burnout.
The only thing left to do? Drive it. Having now done so for a few hours around Los Angeles, what we can tell you is to forget everything you know about the Mustang. This new car shames the old, redefines the model and gallops far ahead of anything else in the segment.
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
Detroit Three autoworkers could get huge bonuses
Mon, 06 Jan 2014For a long time, being a line worker for one of the Detroit Three has meant living with an uncertain future. With the health of American automakers on the rise, though, things are also starting to look up for the men and women building the cars. The latest sign that things aren't bad? Big profit-sharing checks.
According to The Detroit News, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler could end up paying over $800 million to 130,000 workers as part of a profit-sharing plan. According to The News, the economic impact of these profits in Michigan alone could exceed $400 million, besting the NFL's Super Bowl, MLB's All-Star Game and the NHL's Winter Classic for their economic impact.
This is the third straight year the Detroit Three have issued profit-sharing checks to UAW employees, and for many workers, the checks are as close as they'll get to a raise, due to the most recent contract between the union and the manufacturers. On average, employees at GM and Ford receive $1 for every $1 million in North American (not just the US) pre-tax profits. Chrysler, meanwhile, gets a similar deal, although the Auburn Hills-based company calculates profit sharing using 85 percent of the brand's global profits.
