1963 Ford Galaxie Wagon - '427'
Dual Quad - 4 speed top loader transmission, 9 passenger, XL trim package.
I don't even know where to begin...
I stopped counting after I put 75k into this car...
I purchased the car in southern California about 12 years ago, and it was a 99k mile mint survivor. It was purchased in Bodega Bay where they filmed 'The Birds'
This car was so immaculate and rust free that I felt it was worthy of a full blown restoration.
In 2006, I completed a 1200 hour frame off restoration. Every nut and bolt came off, replaced just about everything in NOS I could get my hands on.
I purchased a 66' side oiler that was a service block and was a wausau built block, with 1st time .020 bore. I bought the short block all assembled with all the high quality rods, pistons, steel crank, screw in freeze plugs etc.
I bought the shorty headers, they are planed, no cracks, new exhaust with borla copy type mufflers. It sounds like a Ferrari going down the road.
It has a factory 63' low riser dual quad intake, and I purchased 2 of those brand new factory replacement carburetors from Carl's Ford about 2 years ago.
Also has the Eldebrock aluminum heads.
The transmission is a 66' top loader large spline 4 speed which had all the guts and gears replaced in it, with exception of the reverse gear as it was fine.
The bumpers were re-chromed, all the rubbers and seals replaced, and the side moldings are all new NOS, replaced in 2006. The rocker moldings are original.
I wanted this car to be a extra special 63' Galaxie Wagon, so I went with the high power '427', kept my focus on the originality of the 1963 era, and installed a full
'XL' package as it would have been done in 1963.
The glass is all original I believe, and there is no whiting on the perimeter of the glass.
I installed a metal 63' dash and refinished it with the correct high gloss rangoon red. The car originally had a rare wagon reverberator which still works.
I purchased a factory correct AM/FM radio which works great in warm weather, but not so in the winter for some reason.
I also installed a 2k Sony stereo system, with two amps mounted under the back seats, stereo mounted under the dash. The sound quality is very nice.
The interior trim was replated or refinished, and the headliner is original and still looks pretty darn good.
I purchased two full sets of the Dearborn interior seat covers in order to make the rear seats look correct and also the 9 passenger rear seat.
There is so much to add to the list of things that were done to the car... I just can't think of everything right now, and will be more than happy to answer any questions either by phone or email.
I have a ton of pictures from Day 1, and also have a video from last year. You may have to copy and paste the link: http://youtu.be/R2P9rXXQ3-g
I appreciate your interest in my car.
Car is sold 'as-is' and 'where is' with no warranty expressed or implied. The car is available for inspection by appointment in Jupiter, Florida.
Terms:
$2,000.00 dollar non-refundable deposit due in 3 days, full payment due in 7 days.
Overseas buyers - there are additional fees due to international wire transfer fees and PayPal fees of $150.00
The car can be brought to the port of Miami for $300.00. International shipping is easier than you think...
Thank you,
John - tel: 503-467-8286 - Jupiter, Florida

Ford bringing 10 custom Transit Connects to SEMA
Tue, 29 Oct 2013With 57 vehicles planned for its SEMA display, it comes as little surprise that Ford has plenty of teasers for its show cars. After showing us what it has in store for the Mustang, Fiesta and Focus ST, now we're getting a look at some of the custom creations based on the redesigned 2014 Transit Connect van.
These nine Transit Connects are decked out to various degrees of customization, but our favorite might be the chopped and lowered Transit Connect from Mob Steel (shown above), which has a similar slammed stance that we see on some custom VW Buses. On the opposite extreme, LGE & CTS Motorsports has jacked up a Transit Connect to make a Cross Country cruiser that we wouldn't mind taking on a road trip.
There are seven other teasers from various companies, and you can check them all out in the gallery above or in the press release below. Ford is also promising a tenth Transit Connect for SEMA, so stay tuned for that as well.
Ford's Galhotra succeeds Farley as head of Lincoln
Wed, 23 Jul 2014Ford Motor Company is announcing a major personnel shakeup that could have a dramatic effect on the future of the Lincoln division. Kumar Galhotra (pictured above), currently vice president of engineering at Ford for all of its vehicles worldwide, is taking over as the president of the luxury brand on September 1, replacing Jim Farley. The automaker is also hiring a new head of advanced engineering.
Galhotra has a huge job ahead of him as the new boss of Lincoln worldwide, overseeing product development, marketing, sales and service. His task is to turn the luxury division into a world-class brand as quickly as possible, and he reports directly to Ford President and CEO Mark Fields.
"These changes underscore our commitment to build on the success of our One Ford plan by accelerating our pace of progress. They also make clear we are serious about Lincoln as a world-class luxury brand and that product excellence and innovation are what will deliver growth and define our entire company going forward," said Fields in the company's announcement.
Ford to build Explorer in Russia to meet demand [w/video]
Fri, 12 Apr 2013The current Ford Explorer is sold in more than 64 countries, and this three-row vehicle continues to grow in popularity worldwide. To keep up with demand, Ford began producing the Explorer at Ford Sollers Elabuga Assembly Plant in Tatarstan, Russia, a joint venture facility. This partnership will build Russian-market Explorers only, and production of export vehicles not destined for Russian buyers will continue to be built at Ford's assembly plant in Chicago.
Before this plant went online, Ford would ship Explorers to Russia (and other regions around the world) as partially assembled knock-down units where final assembly would eventually take place. While there is no indication as to how many Explorers Ford Sollers will build for Russia, Ford did add that exports of the SUV were up 65 percent last year (from 2011) accounting for more than 24,000 units.
Scroll down for a press release about the Russian Explorer as well as a video (bad music and all) showing the SUV being produced in Tatarstan.
