For sale is a fun to drive and reliable 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. This is is the most enjoyable classic car I have ever owned to take out and cruise around in. The car has power everything: brakes, steering, windows, seat, door locks and A/C. The car has a powerful, torque monster 390 cubic inch V8 paired with a Cruise a Matic transmission and a Ford 9" differential with 3.25 gears. The car has high performance exhaust manifolds, similar to headers except they are cast, and a performance dual exhaust with H pipe.

Mechanical: The engine and transmission run just like they should. They only have 7,000 miles on them since complete rebuild. The car has drum brakes at all corners and when stopping if you really get on the brakes the car will pull a little to the left. Drum brakes will almost always do this no matter how many times you have them turned or worked on.

Body: The body is rust free and is wearing a paint job completed in June of 2013. All the body panels are straight and there is no evidence that the vehicle has ever been wrecked or had significant rust problems. There is one area of imperfection on the body work that is on the passenger side under the rear door, the pictures show it. This was the only area that needed any body work before paint and needless to say it did not get fixed 100%. It is not evident unless you squat down or the light hits it just right. Other than that the body and paint are in excellent condition. Underneath the car it is evident that the vehicle has been taken care of seeing how little rust there is. Take a look at the pictures underneath and you can see that it is nothing that cannot be wire brushed off. These vehicles were built like Sherman tanks, look at how huge the frame rails are! As it sits this is a 5,000 lb vehicle.

Electrical: The power seats do work, they go back and forth but not up and down. Of the power windows only the driver side works. The other three need to have the motors rebuilt which is around 90$ per window after parts and labor. The power locks and radio do not work. All the other lights, gauges, etc do work.

Interior: The interior of the car is in good shape for being original. There are two obvious areas on the front and rear bench seats that can be fixed. Take a close look at the pictures and you can see that they are not tears but are separations in the stitching of the seat. The headliner is in good condition and the door panels are in acceptable condition for being original.

When doing the final parts of this restoration I decided not to chrome the bumpers. I had an idea that to better match the cruiser theme and the aluminum side moldings that powder coating the bumpers an aluminum color would fit well, and it did. Every time I look at the car the bumpers grow more on me. The whole theme of this build was an understated cruiser that would catch the eye driving by and get a lot of looks sitting still.

Here is a short video of the car. Sorry but the video is rotated and you'll be turning your head to watch it.

Ford tops mid-year ranking of brands in the US

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

YouGov's mid-year Brand Index rankings of America's best perceived brands has been released, and Ford has found its way to the top. The Dearborn, Michigan based manufacturer beat out online shopping giant Amazon, The History Channel, and home improvement superstore Lowe's, to take the top spot.
Ford jumped from sixth overall in 2012 to first for 2013, but those that have been watching these rankings shouldn't be hugely surprised. Ford was rated the best perceived automotive manufacturer by the same organization last year. The Blue Oval's success on the overall brand rankings is made all the more impressive by the complete lack of other automakers on the list.
YouGov (that is, survey respondents) cited Ford's first quarter of 2013 business, which saw an increase in market share and the best earnings recorded in over 10 years. Successfully launching the Focus and Fusion (pictured) and keeping them fresh in the minds of consumers has also contributed to Ford's best overall score.

2015 Ford Mustang [w/videos]

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

It'd be unwise to bet against the sixth generation of this legendary nameplate.
The 2015 Ford Mustang is assuredly the most anticipated new vehicle of the year. The redesigned Pony Car has been the subject of frantic gossiping and covert spy photos covering everything from the way it looks to the tech it will include, its performance, mechanicals and a bevy of other aspects of Ford's performance icon.
