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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford announces e-bike project, Honda Accord Hybrid availability catches up

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Supplies of the Honda Accord Hybrid have apparently caught up with demand. Honda originally launched the Accord Hybrid for the 2014 model year, but lack of availability plagued interested customers and eager dealers alike. Honda cited "component supply constraints" - likely batteries, electric motors and the like - for the lack of available vehicles. Now, "The supply of Accord Hybrids in general is in line with the supply of the regular Accord sedan," according to Honda's Angie Nucci. Read more at Green Car Reports. Apple is seeking a resolution to a lawsuit accusing the company of poaching employees from lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems. A123 has requested a court order stopping a former employer from breaking an employment agreement, as well as keeping Apple from encouraging the person to do so. Apple has requested more time to respond to that court order. A123 has also filed a suit accusing five employees of breaking nondisclosure agreements and going or trying to go to work for Apple. Insiders say that Apple is developing an electric car that could go into production as early as 2020. Read more at Automotive News. South Dakota's Ethanol Infrastructure Incentive Program is helping retailers fund ethanol storage. The state government has set aside $300,000 as part of the program to fund ethanol storage tanks at gas stations. The program, which originally set out to reimburse retailers for building ethanol flex-pumps, is now helping them expand their ethanol capacities. Retailers can apply for funds for pumps and storage through June 30. Read more at Argus Leader. Ford is expanding its Global Mobility Plan with the Handle on Mobility electric bike experiment. The foldable MoDe:Me e-bike is for personal use and commuting, while the MoDe:Pro is built for commercial duty, with both powered by a 200-watt motor and 9-amp-hour battery. The bikes use an iPhone app called MoDe:Link, which provides various information and controls important bike functions. Through the app, the bikes offer navigation (with traffic data, available public transportation and charging locations included), with handlebar vibrations letting the rider know when and where to turn and automatically activating turn signals. The bike can sense and alert the rider to other vehicles on the roadway. Pedal assist is based on heart rate, allowing the rider to arrive at their destination comfortably. See the bikes in the video above, and read more from Ford.

Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.
