For Sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 2Dr.  It has a clear Michigan Title.  I don't know it's history, but understand it was a barn-find in Virginia.  The vehicle has a 352 CID V8 that was bored-out sometime in the past to a 390 CID.

In the past year it has received the following parts:  new convertible top, new piston rings and push rods, new timing chain and sprockets, new gaskets, new fuel pump, new starter, new generator and voltage regulator, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt transmission, tune-up including points/plugs/condenser/rotor and cap, rebuilt carburetor, new u-joints, new thermostat, rebuilt shifting linkage, rebuilt brake master and wheel cylinders, used exhaust manifolds, new fluids, and front and rear spring stiffeners.

The body has an older restoration - the paint shines up nicely but does have a few imperfections.  The convertible top is brand new, and operates with power.  There is a little rust-through on one rocker panel.  The interior is original, and in good condition for its age.  There are no tears or holes in the seats, and all of the glass is in great shape and the windows operate well.  The tires have great tread, however, there are some signs of cracking in the sidewalls.  The car runs well, shifts great, and the older dual exhaust sounds good.

The speedometer and odometer work. The odometer reads 61,000+ miles, but I don't know how accurate that is. Wipers, heater and lights work also.

This is a used car with no warranties. It is sold in an as-is condition. I've tried to list everything I can - don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

$500 deposit due within 48 hours of close of auction, balance due in Cash, PayPal or Certified Check within 10 days.  Buyer responsible for shipping.

Ford to rebrand SVT as 999?

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Ford operates a number of performance divisions around the world. There's SVT in the US, Team RS in Europe and Ford Performance Vehicles (FPV) in Australia. But the Blue Oval has been steadily integrating its performance operations into one unit, and here we might have our first indication of what it will be called.
A reader at Jalopnik sent in a survey in which respondents were asked to gauge the name for a new performance brand from a "major automotive manufacturer," and while the identity of that automaker was not disclosed, according to the survey, the automaker is considering the name 999 for its new go-fast unit.
As our compatriots point out, the 999 was Ford's first racecar, a rudimentary chassis with a 19-liter inline-four campaigned by Henry Ford around the turn of the 20th century. (Ford also used the number to designate a Fusion fuel-cell racer a few years back.) That could prove the tie-in Dearborn is looking for in rebranding its performance operations worldwide, replacing the letters SVT, RS and FPV globally under one name.

Ford to auction Mustang Cobra Jet prototype for charity [w/video]

Mon, 16 Sep 2013

Prototypes developed by major automakers typically remain in said company's custody, but every once in a while, one trickles out into private hands. And that's just what we have here. Ford is donating a one-of-a-kind factory prototype for the 2014 Mustang Cobra Jet that will be auctioned off later this month by Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Powered by a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 mated to a T4 competition gearbox, this rare Cobra Jet prototype includes a wheelie bar, chromoly roll cage, Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle and more. It's painted in a unique satin orange with reflective gray striping scheme, bears the serial number 2014 BJMS CJXX1 and is fully ready for NHRA competition on the drag strip.
To be offered with no reserve on Saturday, September 28, 2013, the Cobra Jet prototype's winning bidder will also receive tutelage at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, along with tours of the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Racing headquarters and Ford Design Studios with Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak. Scope out the video and details below for what could be the ultimate Mustang experience for a good cause.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.
