WOW!  Just out of dry storage for over 30 years is this cool 1963 Ford Galaxie Country Squire five  passenger woody wagon with a big block 390!.  This is a two owner car that has been in the same family since it was purchased off the original owner in 1964!   A true survivor!

Here is a cool story about this car.  The story goes as told to me by the current owners.  In 1962 a local business man of the Hazleton Pennsylvania area that had a fleet of trucks went into the local Ford dealership named Montone Ford of Hazleton PA. where he bought all of his business vehicles, and wanted to order a new family truckster.   He stated he wanted a big block, bucket seats, and the automatic on the floor.  The dealer told him that interior was not an available option in a wagon.  Well, the man was not happy, and told the dealer that if he could not get it the way he wanted it, he would switch brands,  He said,  "I'll and go down to the Chevy dealer, and order my new car, then I'll buy all my new trucks there also".  Well, as the story goes, the dealer had a lot of pull, and powerful allocation with Ford at the time!  A few days later the car was ordered for the man, and he received it in the spring of 1963.   Could this be the first five passenger XL wagon?  It is possible with the early production date of march.  No one knows for sure, but that is what was told to the current owners that bought it in 1964.  I just thought I would re-tell that cool story. 


There were only 19,922 six passenger wagons built to begin with, and this wagon is one of 437 built as a five passenger with the rare 71-G option code known as the XL interior option with bucket seats, and floor shift with console.  There is only 43,180 documented miles on this car!   This is not a restored car!  It is just that nice! 

Quite a bit of work has just been done to the wagon after sitting for 30 years.  The fuel tank was cleaned and coated inside. The brakes were gone through from front to back with new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, and a new power booster.  The engine received a tune up, new belts, hoses, fluids, new water pump, fuel pump and rebuilt power steering pump.  The tires have been replaced with radials that are in good condition.   

The numbers matching FE 390 4 barrel (Z code) engine runs excellent.

The correct 3spd. Cruise-O-Matic transmission shifts great and is leak free.

The 9 inch ford 3.00-1 rear is correct and quiet.

The Corinthian White paint is in nice shape with some small chips and some touch ups.  I do not know if all the paint is original but the owner never recalls any paintwork.  The paint still shows well for it's age.  The wood grain is nice with some signs of sun fading on the rear tailgate.  There is some light checking in the foe wood, but it is hard to see. 

The Chrome on the bumpers and all the stainless trim  are exceptional nice for being over 50 years old, and yes, it is all the original.  Again, this is not a restored car.  

The light blue crush vinyl interior is all original and in very good condition except for one small spot on the drivers seat where the seat frame rubbed against.  ( see picture)  The headliner, dash, door panels, trim, console and even the carpet are in very good condition for being the original!

The undercarriage is in excellent unrestored condition.  Never any rust or work done on the floors or frame.  The dual exhaust is quiet and in good shape.

Everything works as it should, even the rear electric window.  The only thing that I saw that does not work is the tachometer mounted on the console. The 8 track player is aftermarket, as are the rear speakers. 

Here is the information from the trim tag and VIN if you can not make it out in the picture.
  
V.I.N. is 3E76Z213830

White House clears way for NHTSA to mandate vehicle black boxes

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

At present, over 90 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States today are equipped with event data recorders, more commonly known as black boxes. If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gets its way, that already high figure will swell to a full 100 percent in short order.
Such automotive black boxes have been in existence since the 1990s, and all current Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Toyota vehicles are so equipped. NHTSA has been attempting to make these data recorders mandatory for automakers, and according to The Detroit News, the White House Office of Management Budget has just finished reviewing the proposal, clearing the way. Now NHTSA is expected to draft new legislation to make the boxes a requirement.
One problem with current black boxes is that there's no set of standards for automakers to follow when creating what bits of data are recorded, and for how long or in what format it is stored. In other words, one automaker's box is probably not compatible with its competitors.

Electric pickups compared: 2025 Ram 1500 REV specs vs. Silverado EV, F-150 Lightning

Wed, Apr 5 2023

Now that the 2025 Ram 1500 REV has been revealed, along with its most important specifications, we now have information on all of the mainline Big 3 electric full-size pickup trucks. So it's time to see how the numbers stack up, because trucks are all about numbers. We'll see how the Ram compares to the power, battery capacity, payload, towing and other features of the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV and the 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning. Power and torque The Ram has just one powertrain option. It features two electric motors making 654 horsepower and 620 pound-feet. That gives it the most powerful standard powertrain, if not the most torque, as the Chevy Silverado EV has 510 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque, while the F-150 Lighting has 452 horsepower and 775 pound-feet. But the Chevy and Ford each have upgraded motor combinations. The Silverado is the most potent with 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet, and the F-150 has 580 horsepower and 775 pound-feet. The GMC Sierra EV will also be available with this more powerful pair of motors, and most of its specifications will be the same as the Silverado. There are a couple of exceptions which we'll note when they come up. All three trucks come standard with dual motors and all-wheel drive, regardless of output, battery or trim level. They're all available with locking rear differentials, too. Ford F-150 Lightning front low View 48 Photos Battery, range and charging The Ram is packing some serious packs of batteries. The standard model gets 168 kWh and an estimated range of 350 miles. And the optional 229-kWh pack is estimated to deliver 500 miles of range. That's more capacity and range than the others. It also boasts an 800-volt battery system that allows for close to 350-kW charging. The Ford F-150 Lightning has a base battery of 98 kWh with a range around 230 miles. Optional is a 131-kWh pack with between 300 and 330 miles of range, depending on other vehicle specifications. It's the slowest charger, only allowing 150-kW charging maximum. The Silverado EV's battery specs are a bit nebulous. At launch, it will only be available with one battery pack option that GM claims will provide around 400 miles of range. The company didn't give an exact capacity, though. We would guess its size falls between the Ram's 168 and 229 kWh packs. A smaller battery pack will be offered later, with a shorter but unknown range. The Silverado can use 350-kW fast charging like the Ram.

Ford surges with record 2Q profit

Tue, Jul 28 2015

We already knew that the second quarter of 2015 has been good to General Motors. For Ford, though, it's been even better. The Blue Oval saw a net income of $1.9 billion, $800 million more than its larger cross-town rival. Pre-tax profits were even more impressive, at $2.9B. Those figures aren't only more impressive than what GM could conjure up, they improved handily over the same period in 2014. Net profits were up by $574 million, or a staggering 44 percent, while pre-tax profits saw a 10-percent bump over 2014. Ford Credit also had a strong quarter, raking in just over half a billion dollars before taxes. So yeah, Ford calling Q2 "outstanding" in its press release is no exaggeration. The vast majority of Ford's positive Q2 can be attributed to the North American market, which made up $2.6 billion of the company's pre-tax profits. South America, the Middle East, and Europe were all down, although Asia delivered some relief, making $192 million before taxes. Scroll down for the official press brief from Ford. JUL 28, 2015 | DEARBORN, MICH. FORD REPORTS STRONG SECOND QUARTER RESULTS; PRE-TAX PROFIT $2.9 BILLION; NET INCOME $1.9 BILLION DEARBORN, Mich., July 28, 2015 – Ford Motor Company [NYSE: Ford] today reported its 2015 second quarter financial results.
