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 dealer gives James Robertson new 2015 Taurus
Fri, Feb 6 2015James Robertson, the 56-year-old Detroit native famous for walking 21 miles to work each day for the last 10 years, is behind the wheel again thanks to a gift from a Ford dealer. Robertson became an Internet sensation when the story about his daily ordeal came to light, and a GoFundMe campaign initially hoped to raise $5,000 to buy him a new ride. As of this writing, it has reached over $300,000. He didn't have to dip into any of that money to buy the new car, though. According to The Detroit Free Press, Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights, MI, heard about Robertson's story of never being late to work and having perfect attendance. The dealer is donating a fully loaded, red 2015 Taurus to him. It's not one of our choices, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Robertson started walking to work in 2005 when his Honda broke down. According to the GoFundMe page, his job is about 23 miles away, but thanks to Detroit's poor bus network, he covers about 21 miles of that round-trip trek on foot each day.

Holy crime-fighting Ford F-150, Batman!
Thu, 18 Jul 2013What would Batman drive for his weekly trips to Home Depot for the bits and pieces needed to keep his lair deep below Wayne Manor in tip-top condition? Certainly not the Batmobile - there's no way a 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit between the wheel wells, not to mention the fact that jet turbine engines have an unfortunate tendency to set trailers on fire when towing...
No, what Batman needs is a pickup truck. The boys from Ford teamed up with Galpin Auto Sports to build just such a machine, and it has just debuted at Comic Con. Designed by Jared Barris, grandson of the legendary kustomizer George Barris, the 2012 F-150 pickup you see here, dubbed Crime Fighter, is painted Tuxedo Black with Ferrari Red highlights and is affixed with fins on each side of the truck bed. It's nothing if not unique.
Well, it's at least unique for now. According to Ford, Galpin in Southern California is willing to take orders for customers looking to don a cape and hit the town for a night of crime-fighting action. Or trips to Home Depot. Check out our high-res image gallery and then scroll down for the official description from Ford. We're waiting for details such as pricing and build time from Ford, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Ford F-150 production hampered by frame shortage
Sat, May 30 2015If anyone has questions about how Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will hold up, it's not buyers. Orders are so strong for the fullsize pickup that competitors General Motors and Ram are discounting their offerings to hold onto market share. It's a shame for the Blue Oval then, that it can't build all the trucks it needs because frame supplier Metalsa isn't delivering enough frames. Neither Ford nor Metalsa has said what the problem is, but Ford employees are at Metalsa's Kentucky plant trying to get it sorted out, Automotive News reports. Overtime shifts at the Dearborn Truck Plant and the Kansas City Assembly Plant have been canceled due to the shortage that's been a problem for at least two months now. The issue is exacerbated by this being the changeover period in production from the old model to the new, which comes with its own issues. That would help explain why even though Dearborn production finished ramping up in January, output in April was down 9.2 percent compared to last year, according to AN. Transaction prices are up for the new truck, but overall F-150 production in Q1 was down 40 percent, and missing product means missing profits. Combined with the production drop for the new Ford Edge, the company's Q1 bottom line was robbed of $1 billion. It isn't clear when the frame issue will be solved, but workers at the plants are ready to run "all-out" when it is.
