 For sale is a very rare, all original 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL "G Code" Box Top.  This car feature's a 406 Tri Power, factory cast iron headers,  AM/FM radio, Sun Tach and factory tinted glass.



The car was built in November of 1962 where it was sold in Hawthorn California. This car was a California/New Mexico all its life until it was recently brought to Canada. There is absolutely no rust to speak of. Being a "G Code" this '63 Galaxie is powered by the 406 with a tri power, 3x2 carb system. It is also equipped with a 4 speed transmission. A 4 Speed transmission came in all 406 Galaxies. The engine and transmission are numbers matching right down to the carbs being original and matching to the engine. The engine was rebuilt 12k miles ago. The engine is very strong and I actually drove it 1,400 Miles from New Mexico to Alberta.


As you can see in the pictures the paint on the fenders and roof is thin. About 95% of the paint is original. It has been touched up on the trunk and tops of the quarter panels. It has a few minor dents. All the trim on the car is beautiful. It's very hard to find these cars with trim in this good of shape. The interior is all original and absolutely beautiful with minor wear. You can see in the pictures that it has a Sun Tach. The Tach was possibly installed at the dealer ship when the car was new and somewhere down the line someone changed the original shifter to a Hurst shifter. It even has original factory floor matts!


This '63 Galaxie is a true survivor. This car was rare when it was built and how many actually survived? It's very hard to find a rare car like this that hasn't been messed with.

 Something I forgot to mention. The car never came with seat belts but they were added to the front at some time. The back does not have seat belts.

Detroit automakers keep their masks on to keep the factories running

Tue, Oct 27 2020

United Auto Workers members leave the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Warren Truck Plant in May. Fiat Chrysler along with rivals Ford and General Motors Co., restarted the assembly lines after several weeks of coronavirus lockdown. (AP)   DETROIT — When the coronavirus pandemic slammed the United States in March, the Detroit Three automakers shut their plants and brought their North American vehicle production to an unprecedented cold stop. Now, four months after a slow and sometimes bumpy restart in May, many General Motors, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles  factories are working at close to full speed, chasing a stronger-than-expected recovery in sales. So far, none of the Detroit Three has had a major COVID-19 outbreak since restarting production, even as the coronavirus is surging in Midwestern and Southern communities outside factory walls. "We have people testing positive, but it's not affecting operations," said Ford global manufacturing chief Gary Johnson. Keeping the pandemic at bay has pushed the automakers and 156,000 U.S. factory employees represented by the United Auto Workers into unfamiliar work routines and extraordinary levels of cooperation among the rival automakers that will have to be sustained for months to come. For automakers, the automakers' COVID response has been as much about instilling new habits as relying on new technology. Workers log their symptoms, or lack of them, into smartphone apps and walk past temperature scanners to get to their work stations. But company and union executives said masks, along with physical distancing, are the key to keeping assembly lines rolling. "The mask is the foundation" of protecting workers on the job, said Johnson. Complaints about masks Autoworkers are accustomed to wearing protective gear such as shatterproof glasses and gloves. Masks that cover the mouth and nose, however, were not standard equipment on auto assembly lines, and were a tough sell at first. "The biggest complaint is wearing a mask," United Auto Workers President Rory Gamble told Reuters. "A lot of our members perform physical tasks. Wearing the mask inhibits breathing." Beyond that, Gamble said, masks and distancing make it harder for workers to have conversations on the job or socialize during breaks. "ThatÂ’s pretty much out the window, and it makes for a longer day," he said. Masks make it harder for co-workers to read each other's expressions — often crucial in the noisy environment of a car plant.
