1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback This
is a very nice looking 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback. The car has a 1969 Ford 429 4V Big Block Thunderjet Motor
mounted to a rebuilt C6 tranmission with a stage 3 shift kit built for high
performance. The Galaxie 500XL models were slightly different from the
Galaxie 500 models. The XL stood for "eXtra Luxury"that included
luxurious interior trim, console, and bucket seats for that "racing
feel". The 1969 Ford 429 4V Thunderjet Engine w/ factory 360+ horsepower - Low mileage motor that was rebuilt about 3000 miles ago - Has stock 1969 429 crank, camshaft, valvesprings, and pistons - It has the C9VE High Compression heads with Felpro 1018 head gaskets -

Engine and the Transmission function perfectly with no leaks. The car
drives well and has manual steering and manual brakes with 4 wheel
drums. The trim looks good, the bumpers are original and look
acceptable, and single outlet chrome lake pipes were added to the
vehicle. The frame is straight and in good condition. The body does have
some filler in the lower quarter panels, the floors are solid, and the
trunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new set
of 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BF
Goodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory
3.25 gear. There
is a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Amp
alternator, dual 40 series Flowmaster exhaust, master cylinder, wiring, radio, carpet,
sound deadener on the floor, door panels, door switchs, dash bezels,
and a hood latch emblem. The car needs a 4 terminal single speed wiper
switch and a right AIR vent cable. All the dome and door lights work, and all the instrument lights light up like a Christmas tree at night. The fuel gauge works, the cooling gauge was disabled and switched over to a more accurate gauge, the oil pressure indicator light was switched over to a manual gauge, and a volt meter was added. The cooling system has a 160 thermostat, that holds near that temperature even on the hottest summer days. This is car is ready to drive and cruise! Its been garaged for the past 11 years I've owned it, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I have taken it to smaller local car shows, and it always stands out from the other cars. I enjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun, but unfortunately I have to sell this car. If there are any questions, feel free to ask. |

Project Ugly Horse: Part VI
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Solid axle? What solid axle?
I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation.
This should not have gone this easily. Having a long and checkered history of simple projects punctuated by much wailing and gnashing of knuckles, I was fully prepared to embark on a seven-day journey down a rabbit hole of broken bolts, internet hearsay and consternation when I finally decided to lay hands on the '89 Mustang with the goal of relieving the car of its stock rear axle. Instead, it took less than a full morning's worth of work to carve the old 7.5-inch solid axle from its moorings and mock up something, well, different.
Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.
Ford 1.0L takes third-straight International Engine of the Year award
Thu, 26 Jun 2014Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost is proving to be The Little Engine That Could, and it continues to acquit itself well, finding favor as one of the best powerplants in the world. To confirm it yet again, the tiny mill just won the International Engine of the Year award for the third year in a row, likewise also nabbing the title in the Sub 1.0-liter category.
Packing 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque with overboost (125 lb-ft normally), the tiny engine combines impressive power in a size small enough to be a carry-on item for a commercial flight. US buyers only got a taste of the award winner in the 2014 Fiesta, while the 1.0 EcoBoost has been available throughout the Ford lineup in Europe for a few years now. American sales have reportedly been strong, however, and next up in the US, the mill will find its way into the 2015 Focus.
The panel of 82 jury members from 34 countries also named the Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter turbo found in the A45, CLA45 and GLA45 AMG models with 355 hp and 332 lb-ft as the best New Engine for 2014. The electric powertrain from Tesla won Green Engine prize, and the 4.5-liter V8 from the Ferrari 458 Italia took home the honor of top Performance Engine yet again. You can check out all the winners below, and scroll down further to read Ford's celebratory announcement of its award.
