TONIGHT I AM OFFERING FOR THE 1ST TIME MY 1963 & 1/2 FORD GALAXIE FAST BACK 2 DOOR HARDTOP. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A LIL OVER 1 YEAR. I WAS FIXING IT UP FOR MY SON, WHO JUST GOT HIS LISCENSE. AS TIME WHEN ON I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GIVE HIM THIS CAR. AS A PARENT I THINK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WITH THIS KIND OF POWER & HIM BEING A NEW DRIVER AT 16 YEARS OLD THIS HAS MADE MY DECISION FOR HIM NOT TO HAVE THIS AUTOMOBILE. THIS CAR RUNS & WILL YARD DRIVE. THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR. THIS FORD HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD & IN STORAGE SINCE JULY 8TH OF 1981. I DO HAVE THE TITLE FOR THIS CAR BUT IT WAS FILLED OUT ON THIS DATE & IN SOME TIME THE WINDSHEILD HAD CRACKED. IT WAS PUT AWAY IN THE GARAGE AND NEVER FIXED. AND THE CAR WAS NEVER REGISTERED. THE MILEAGE READS 47,506. IT HAS NO MILEAGE ON THE TITLE THEREFORE I CANNOT VERIFY IF THIS IS THE TRUE MILEAGE OR NOT. I HAVE PUT A CARTER 4 BARREL CARBURETOR ON THIS, IT IS A 4 BARREL CARBURETOR WITH ELECTRIC CHOKE. THE ELECTRIC CHOKE IS NOT HOOKED UP. THE CAR CAME WITH A FACTORY AUTOLITE CARBURETOR 4 BAL WHICH COULD NOT BE REBUILT THIS IS WHY I WENT WITH THE CARTER. OTHER THAN THE CARBURETOR EVERYTHING ON THIS AUTOMOBILE IS FACTORY STOCK MATCHING #'S. THE CAR WAS ORDERED 3 SPEED MANUAL SHIFT 3 ON THE TREE, IT WAS ALSO ORDER WITH FACTORY POWER STEERING. AND FACTORY OVERDRIVE. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH. I HAVE REMOVED THE BRAKE SHOES & SPRINGS AS THEY WERE FROZE FROM ALL THESE YEARS SITTING. THE RIGHT REAR SHOES , SPRINGS ARE STILL ON IT. THE BOX YOU SEE IN THE PIC'S IS ALL THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKES I REMOVED. ALL THE SHOES ARE INCLUDED ALSO. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE AIR BREATHER & 1 EXTRA HUB CAP. THE GENERATOR LIGHT STAYS ON, THE GENERATOR NEEDS TO BE REBUILT WITH NEW BRUSHES. NEXT : I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER WITH A REBUILT, THE OLD STARTER COMES WITH THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO PUT ALL NEW PLUGS IN IT, THE CAP ROTOR, POINT & CONDENSER WERE STILL GOOD SO I DID NOT REPLACE THEM. THE SPARK PLUG WIRES WERE OLD & BRITTLE SO I REPLACED THEM WITH SOME OLD ONES I HAD. BEFORE I HAD ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS OLD GIRL RUNNING AGAIN, I FILLED EVERY CYLINDER WITH MARVIN'S MYSTERY OIL & LET IT SOAK. THE OIL IS STILL IN THE MOTOR TO THIS DAY. THE 390 MOTOR RUNS GOOD, NO ROD RAPS OR LIFTER NOISE. IT HAS 1 STICKY EXAUST VALVE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE RIGHT BANK. I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE & HAVE THE VALVE COME DOWN & HIT THE PISTON, I HAVE THE PUSH ROD FOR IT. THE VALVE IS STUCK ON THE OPEN POSITION JUST RIGHT, SO YOU WOULD ALMOST NEVER KNOW IT, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES IN ALL GEARS 1ST, 2ND, 3RD, & REVERSE, THE CAR GOES ON ITS OWN POWER. I HAVE ALSO PUT A FAIRLY NEW BATTERY IN THIS, AND A STARTER CYLINOID, AND VALVE COVER GASKETS. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, THEY ARE BIAS WHITE WALL TIRES. ALL THE SPOTS YOU SEE ON THE BODY WERE DONE MANY YEARS AGO & WERE THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. LOOK AT THE PIC'S CLOSELY, THERE IS SOME ROT ON THE FLOOR PANS. THE GAS TANK IS JUNK. THE GAS CAN WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THE RAIL AROUND THE TRIM MOLDING FOR THE TRUNK NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE BRACE ACROSS THAT HOLDS THE GAS TANK WHICH IS NOTORIOUS FOR THESE FORDS IS ROTTED. THERE ARE 2 SPOTS JUST BEHIND THE TAIL LIGHTS INSIDE THE TRUNK. I HAVE THE OTHER ROCKER MOLDING BUT THE CLIPS ARE MISSING. ALL THE WINDOWS ROLL UP & DOWN NICELY. THE ROCKERS ARE SOLID, INNER & OUTTER. THE DOORS OPEN WITH EASE & CLOSE NICELY. I HAVE THE TRUNK LOCK BUT NO KEY FOR IT. THE CAR STILL HAS AN ORIGINAL EXHAUSE ON IT WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED RIGHT DOWN TO THE RESINATERS. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME TO MY HOME & INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE YOU BID. BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 100 FEED BACKS, ARE TO CALL ME BEFORE YOU BID WITH ALL YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. I WANT THIS TO GO AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE FOR BUYER & SELLER. PLEASE ASK ANY & ALL QUESTIONS.

Mulally confirms he's not leaving Ford for Microsoft
Tue, 07 Jan 2014In recent months, rumors had been flying about Ford CEO Alan Mulally potentially leaving the company to take a position at Microsoft. Last we heard, Mulally was planning to stick around at Ford through at least 2014, and in an interview today, that bit was confirmed by the CEO himself.
According to the Associated Press, in a report from The Detroit News, Mulally said he will not be leaving Ford for Microsoft, and reiterated that he will remain at the Blue Oval through 2014, if not longer. Mulally has "no plans other than to serve Ford," according to the report.
Mulally did not say whether or not he had been in talks with Microsoft at any point. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said he plans to leave the software company sometime this year.
The fascinating forgotten civil defense history of Mister Softee trucks
Mon, 26 Aug 2013Hemmings came across an interesting article from the Throwin' Wrenches blog about the intersection of ice cream, cars and civic duty in America's late 1950s. In particular, it focuses on the Mister Softee trucks, which criss-crossed neighborhoods of the eastern US serving ice cream. Looking past the ultra-durable vehicles used - heavy-duty Ford-based chassis, for what it's worth - the article delves into some deeper national-security territory.
See, Mister Softee truck owners were voluntary members of the Civil Defense, thanks to all the useful stuff (potable water, generators, freezers and fridges) that the machines carried with them for serving ice cream. Click over to Throwin' Wrenches for the full run down of how Mister Softee would have stepped in to help fight if the Cold War ever turned a little hotter.
Ford shutters Genk assembly plant in Belgium
Tue, Dec 23 2014Ford has become the latest automaker to close one of its European assembly plants. The facility in question is located in the Belgian city of Genk and has been in operation since the early '60s when it started building the Taunus, Ford's first mass-produced, front-drive model. As part of the plan first announced over two years ago, the Genk Body & Assembly Plant is now closing its doors after half a century in the business and over fourteen million vehicles built. Although the plant itself employed some 5,000 workers, once you take into account the suppliers built up around the plant, the overall impact on employment in the area edges closer to 12,000. Genk Body & Assembly had until recently been tasked with producing the Mondeo sedan (which in its current iteration we know as the Fusion) as well as the S-Max and Galaxy minivans. Production of the Mondeo shifted in 2013 to the company's plant in Valencia, Spain, which also handles the Kuga crossover and Transit Connect cargo van, and will soon take over the minivans from Genk as well. The move follows a similar decision undertaken by General Motors to close the Opelwerk plant in Bochum, Germany. It also reflects a scaling down of automobile production in Belgium specifically: although Audi still manufacturers in Brussels and and Volvo in Ghent, Opel closed its plant in Antwerp in 2000 and Renault ceased production in Vilvoorde back in '97. However Ford still maintains its famous proving ground half an hour to the north in Lommel, Belgium.
