1963 Ford Galaxie XL 500 Victoria Coupe *** NO RESERVE *** History: This barn find is from a dry climate area and as a result has survived well. It was sold from an estate to a collector who in turn sold it to me shortly after. From the title it appears this Galaxie was last registered in 1975. Body: There is no sign of rust outside of minor surface areas, the trunk and floor are excellent as is the frame. The paint is aged but still looks good and in my opinion is not near needing to be redone, there are few touch-ups here and there but from a short distance appears to be excellent, there are no large dents or scrapes. The door jams are in good condition as is the firewall and inner fenders. The chrome and stainless shine nicely and although not perfect are also very good. The windows all roll up and down as they should and the windshield is excellent with no cracks or bruises. Mechanical: The 390 V8 starts and idles smoothly with no noticeable oil consumption or strange noises. The transmission shifts as it should, the car runs cool even on a warm day and it steers well. The exhaust system is louder than it should be and the power brake booster is not working as it should, although the bakes work well enough to stop at highway speeds. Interior: The interior is in excellent condition for a car of this vintage with less than the expected wear. The dash has not been drilled or modified and has the original radio, there are no cracks in the dash pad. The carpet is good with floor mats the seats are very good with 2 small wear spots on the drivers seat. The headliner is intact and not sagging the rear package tray has sun fading but is otherwise good. Reason for selling: I have a number of cars and a change in lifestyle means some have to go. The reason I am selling UNRESERVED is because I'm serious about selling it and if I put a reserve on it at what I feel it is worth it may not sell. Overall: This your chance to buy a well cared for unrestored 1960's classic Galaxie XL at price that is less than you paid for your house. It has the right equipment with a 390 V8, console shift and bucket seats and the Victoria body style is rarer than the fastback. If your looking for a car that is ready for the show and shines as is or would be a very worthy restoration project you should seriously consider this one. Location: The car is located just outside of Salmon Arm British Columbia a few hours from the Washington border. I can help find a shipper and help with the paperwork if the car is being shipped to the US as I am familiar the process (there is no duty on this car if it is imported to the US). Payment: Payment in full is due within 5 days of the close of the auction...NO EXCEPTIONS... buy bank to bank wire transfer, or cash in person, or official bank draft. You are welcome to view the car in person or by agent prior to the auction ending. If you have any questions please email me or call Ken at (250) 309-4561 SCAMMERS: DON'T EVEN TRY I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE THANKS FOR LOOKING |

Ford wants to double hybrid offerings by 2020
Wed, Jan 15 2014The Blue Oval is looking for folks on the other side of this Big Old Sphere to get on board with its hybrid offerings. Ford executive Raj Nair, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show this week, said the US automaker wants to double the number of hybrids models it offers by the end of the decade, Reuters reports. Details of what that actually means is anyone's guess, as it was unclear how many of those models would be in the US and how many would be overseas. That said, Nair did say that prospective customers in regions such as China and Europe would drive the expansion of offerings. Ford got off to a great start in the US last year on its hybrid sales, but then tailed off towards the end of 2013. Ford more than doubled its green-car sales in 2013 to almost 88,000 units. In that number were more than 37,000 Fusion Hybrids and more than 28,000 C-Max Hybrids sold domestically. The company also sold almost 7,500 Lincoln MKZ Hybrids. Ford's green-car totals for 2013 were up fivefold at the mid-year point, hinting that Ford's hybrid sales plateaued, at least temporarily, in recent months.
Car companies used to cook up sales with recipe books
Fri, 08 Aug 2014The evolution of automotive marketing has undergone a number of strange phases. Few, though, match the strangeness of the 1930s to 1950s, when automotive marketers turned to cookbooks as a means of promoting their vehicles. Yes, cookbooks. We can't make this stuff up, folks.
This bizarre trend led to General Motors distributing cookbooks under the guise of its then-subsidiary Frigidaire. Ford, meanwhile, offered a compilation of recipes from Ford Credit Employees (shown above). The cookbook-craze wasn't limited to domestic manufacturers, though. As The Detroit News discovered, both Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen got in on the trend, although not until the 1970s.
The News has the full story on this strange bit of marketing. Head over and take a look.
Sunday Drive: Volvo hits a crossover home run, and people still love sports cars
Sun, Sep 24 2017Looking back at the week that just was clearly tells us at least three things. First, crossovers don't have to be boring. Second, people still love sports cars, from the attainable (Audi TT RS) to the fanciful (Mercedes-AMG GT C). And finally, the traditional German trio of premium luxury brands had better not rest on their laurels, because credible challengers are coming in from every direction. The biggest reveal of the week, at least judging by the interest of Autoblog readers, was the Volvo XC40. Not only is the little 'ute a looker, it introduces some innovative new buying/leasing schemes designed to appeal to an audience accustomed to trading in and trading up every couple of years. Think of Volvo's flat-fee lease as you would a smartphone contract, and you'll be on the right track. Genesis looks to have a hit on its hands in the form of the G70 sport sedan. We took a Korean-spec model for a spin and found a lot to like about the upstart contender. We can't wait to sample one here in the United States to see how it stacks up against the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In other news, we're still really excited to see a production Ford Ranger Raptor. But if you just can't wait for the official reveal — it's OK, neither can we — take a look at the renderings in our post down below. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry.
