1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback

This is a very nice looking 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL that is an "older garage restoration."Originally the car had a 289, but it was swapped out for a 1969 Ford 429 4V Tunderjet Motor mounted to a rebuilt C6 with a stage 3 shift kit built for high performance.

The 1969 Ford 429 4V Engine

- Low mileage motor that was rebuilt using standard bore

- It has Clevite 77 performance rated bearing, new piston rings, gaskets, Melling oil pump, Comp timing chain, Magnum roller rockers, Ford Racing M-6316-A460 Damper, and a Holley 750cfm Carb.

- The ignition has been upgraded to full MSD which includes the MSD distributor, coil and 6A ignition Box.

High Performance Ford C6 Transmission

- Professionally rebuilt by AAMCO

-Has a transgo stage 3 shift kit

- Racing Servo

- 2200 RPM Stall Converter

The Engine and the Transmission function perfectly. The car drives very well but takes a little bit of strength to turn the car and apply the brakes. This car has manual steering and manual brakes with 4 wheel drums. The trim is not perfect but still looks good, the bumpers are original and look acceptable, and chrome lake pipes were added to enhance the look of the vehicle. The frame is in perfect condition, the body does have some filler in the quarter panels, the floors are solid, and the trunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new set of 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BF Goodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory 3.25 gear.

There is a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Amp alternator, dual 40 series flowmaster exhaust, new wiring, new radio, new carpet, new door panels, new bezels, and a new hood latch emblem. The car needs a single speed wiper switch and a right AIR vent cable.

Overall this is a nice looking Galaxie that always gets attention wherever it goes. It's not perfect but it has been garage kept for the past 11 years, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I've taken it to the smaller local car shows, and the car always stands out from the other cars. I enjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun, but unfortunately I need to sell it for financial reasons

This Car will drive anywhere!

Sorry, I will not ship overseas.

Ford's first PHEV in Europe could be C-Max

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Ford could start selling a plug-in hybrid in Europe pretty soon, according to at least one of its executives. Whether it's willing to do so is another story. But if the market perks up, so will the company. The automaker can "quickly" develop a plug-in hybrid version of its Mondeo, the sister car to the Ford Fusion, Automotive News Europe says, citing Ford executive Uli Koesters. The subject of Ford selling plug-in hybrids in Europe is more vital than ever since Volkswagen recently started selling its first PHEV (a Golf) there. VW will also debut a Passat PHEV next year. Koesters was less certain about whether there was sufficient European demand to warrant a production PHEV from Ford. Europe's biggest-selling plug-in hybrid through the first half of the year was the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. That model, according to JATO Dynamics, moved almost 9,000 units through June. Toyota sold almost 4,300 Prius Plug-in Hybrids in Europe during that time period. And we can't be sure Ford's first European PHEV will be the Modeo/Fusion, either. In fact, Ford's first plug-in hybrid for Europe is more likely to be the C-Max, John Gardiner, a Ford spokesman in Europe, told AutoblogGreen. He would only say that it would be sold "in selected markets soon," without being more specific. Ford's two PHEVs in the US have been selling well this year. Through September, sales of the Fusion Energi PHEV almost tripled to 9,323 units, while Ford C-Max Energi PHEV sales were up 51 percent to 6,486 units.

2015 Ford F-150 claims segment's best payload, towing ratings

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

While we are set to drive the new, 2015 Ford F-150 in the coming days, there's a big piece of news on the latest-generation of the Blue Oval's bread-and-butter pickup coming out of Dearborn, and it focuses on the truck's hauling and towing abilities.
The new F-150 will have a maximum payload of 3,300-pounds (V8 models), and, perhaps more importantly, a 12,200-pound tow rating (EcoBoost V6 models), which for the first time are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineer's J2807 standards. Those best-in-class figures are significant feathers in Ford's cap as the Detroit Three continue duking it out for the title of top pickup.
"As founding members of the SAE trailer towing committee, we will meet SAE trailer towing standards," Ford's Aaron Miller told Autoblog.

Ford looks back on 50 years of the Mustang in Detroit

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Ford has something special sitting in its booth here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. In fact, it brought two special somethings in the form of the Ford Mustang 1 Concept that first saw the light of day in 1962 and the very first production Mustang that rolled off the production line in 1964.
These classic creations are sharing floor space with the brand-new 2014 Mustang in honor of the pony car's 50th Anniversary. Since Ford's latest 'Stang already made its auto show debut (at a number of locations, including Los Angeles), we think it's pretty cool that the Blue Oval did something special for its home-town show.
Check out both the Mustang 1 Concept and first production 1964.5 Mustang above and below.
