1962 FORD GALAXIE 500 XL CLASSIC CAR/AIR RIDE/HOT ROD/SHOW CAR-SHOW WINNER SEE VIDEO AND PICTURE LINKS BELOW The INTERIOR of this 62 was completed with a Burgundy on Black color coordination that added great comfort and a show quality finish to the interior. The 500XL stitching on the back and front seats ads that extra quality and custom design to the interior. The entire floor and roof of the car has been layered with Dynamat. This has greatly reduced road noise and improved the quality of the sound system that has been added to the car. When the new headliner was installed I added a new Windshield, and added all new gaskets to every part of the car. Shortly after the interior completion the dash color was modified by removing the factory dash pad and sprayed with a two stage Ford color-Dark Cherry Metallic paint to match the interior. It was chosen to enhance the look of this new interior. Some new dash bezels were added as well as a tachometer, temperature, oil and charging gauges for highly accurate readings. The interior was finished off with a great sound system customized just for this car. I WILL CONSIDER AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE PRICE WITH OUT THE STEREO AND SOUND SYSTEM PLEASE EMAIL ME IF CONSIDERING...THIS IS A SMOKE FREE CLASSIC CAR!

No holes were cut inside this car for any of the customization that was done in the interior. All of the original metal panels remain intact as it was when the vehicle was made in 1962. All of the chrome trim, original radio, dash bezels and console pieces remain intact. The interior is of showroom quality. The interior dash bulbs were upgraded to a brighter more luminescent bulb that really shows the instrument panel when night driving. The ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL has been covered with a special order Leather Wheel Skin cover made by: WheelSkins.com
The ENGINE of this car was completely rebuilt by a professional and completed June 2013. It is the original Ford 390 big block with some upgrades as listed below. Please note there is a small oil leak coming from the right rear of the new chrome oil pan that has not been repaired. There are no other leaks from any other area of this vehicle. THIS VEHICLE RUNS AT A STEADY 160-180 DEGREES/DOES NOT RUN HOT-IT IS STILL A NEW ENGINE! TO LIST A FEW: MSD Ignition System/Summit Racing .533 Lift/Exh.

This ENGINE is completely awesome, runs and performs with EXCELLENCE! 675 miles on the engine since it was recently completed-2013. The car is garage kept and occasionally driven to local car shows and has never been in rain since painted. THE TRANSMISSION of this car came with a Ford Cruise O Matic transmission but was replaced with a 4 SPEED T-10 Borg Warner that was rebuilt and installed in this car 2 months ago. This T-10 has WIDE Gear Ratios which are: 1st.-2.64/2nd.-1.75/ 3rd.-1.62/ 4th.-1.00. Instead of installing the original shifter I upgraded to a HURST Comp Plus 4 speed shifter. I located the original 4 speed 500 XL Center console plate and has been re-chromed and trimmed to perfection!
The WHEELS are New 17” Cragar Series 390C Chrome Street Pro 2-piece composite wheel with traditional hot rod styling. These Cragar wheels are mounted on TOYO PROXES 4 P245/45ZR/17 Tires. The BRAKES are drum on all 4 wheels. They have been turned and have been completely equipped with new cylinders and pads. The original booster was replaced with a new 7” chrome booster to allow clearance for the high valve covers. The brakes are 4 wheel drum brakes and stopping power is excellent. However, the buyer can upgrade to front disc brakes at any time. The UNDERCARRIAGE of the car has been stripped clean repainted and is free of grease and dirt. Liquid Dynamat undercoating has been applied from front to rear of the car. The rear end is the original Ford 9”-3:00:1 ratio and the EXHUAST recently completed with 2-1/2” pipe that holds 2 Flowmaster 10 mufflers. The Flowmaster 10’s give it an awesome sound with a deep tone. There are no signs of rust or other issues under the car. THE SUSPENSION is NEW and has been completely upgraded with Air Ride Technologies Level 2 Air Ride system. “The LEVEL 2 system provides more tuning with the addition of a Shockwave® front kit and the enhanced RideProe3™ control system. The front Shockwave® system is a simple bolt-on install. The single shock and air spring unit provides a cleaner appearance and offers adjustable shock valving to aid in tuning. A Ridetech 4-Link will position the rear more precisely and eliminate the flexing and instability of the leaf spring rear. The 5 gallon RidePro®e3 system provides 4 way digital control. It allows 3 system air pressure presets to provide accurate adjustments with the touch of just one button.” I ordered this system with 2 remotes that allow the system to be adjusted with a touch of a button. It rides like a new car and handles far better than you could ever get with the factory suspension. The TRUNK has been customized and carpeted. Panels have been custom fit and covered to give it a great look as well as a great sound barrier. Dynamat also covers the floor of the trunk and the inner fender wells to reduce noise and improve sound quality. Also, covered panels have been cut to custom fit the inner trunk lid for an added barrier. The trunk is SOLID and free from rust. The EXTERIOR is a Ford color that was used on later model Ford vehicles. Dark Cherry Metallic was chosen early on for this project. The exterior chrome was removed to give the car a more sleek look and streamline effect. This is a MODIFIED street rod not to be mistaken for an all ORIGINAL car. The FRONT BUMPER has been completely restored and triple chromed by Tri-City Plating in Elizabethton, TN. The rear bumper is driver quality but needs to be re-chromed. The headlight bezels were repaired and re-chromed by Atlantic Coast Plating in Athens, TN and 4 Chrome (Ford) Headlight protective rings were added for a greater appeal. When the trim was removed the clip holes were welded closed and glazed for a straight finish. There are no rust issues on this car. The car was sanded, primed, sealed and painted by a professional.

Ford recalls Explorer, Flex, Taurus for parking brakes
Wed, Jul 22 2015Ford announced a recall of nearly 8,000 vehicles spread across a broad range of models for a faulty parking brake, which might not engage fully.

Ford adds 850 jobs to build 2015 F-150
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Pickup trucks tend not to advance at quite the same pace as the rest of the industry. That's what makes the new Ford F-150 so remarkable, jettisoning its old steel construction in favor of aluminum. It's a game changer that Ford is betting big on, and in anticipation of surging demand, the Blue Oval automaker is adding 850 new jobs to put the thing together.
Those 850 new employees will be centered at Ford's Rouge complex in Michigan - with 300 at Dearborn Stamping, 50 more at Dearborn Diversified and 500 at the Dearborn Truck facility, the latter of which has already kicked off what Ford describes as "the largest manufacturing transformation in decades." Old manufacturing equipment is being replaced with the latest technologies, and even the Ford Rouge Factory Tour is undergoing a complete overhaul.
The new jobs come as part of the commitments Ford made to the UAW in 2011 to create 12,000 hourly jobs in the United States by 2015 - a number which Ford has already exceeded at 14,000. Over 4,000 of those are centered in southeastern Michigan.
Ford dissects the heart of the 2015 Mustang, its engine range
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Happy Mustang Day. Are you tired of hearing about the 2015 Ford Mustang yet? No? Good, here's a bunch of mechanical data on Ford's sixth-gen muscle car, along with cutaways of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 and the new 2.3-liter, EcoBoost four-cylinder shown above. We also have a smattering of info on the Stang's updated transmissions and an exploded-parts-diagram view of its all-new independent rear suspension.
Ford is set to make waves offering the Mustang with a turbo for the firs time since the small-volume SVO of the 1980s. Displacing 2.3 liters, the engine's twin-scroll turbo should help the four-cylinder turn out a projected 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, while also returning the best fuel economy in the Mustang's engine lineup. As we said in our Deep Dive, the EcoBoost will be slotted in as a premium engine, above the 3.7-liter V6 but below the 5.0-liter V8.
Speaking of that high-revving eight-cylinder, it's receiving a new cylinder head with high-flow ports. The intake and exhaust valves are larger and the cams have been replaced, among other tweaks. It should rev even higher thanks to a rebalanced crankshaft and forged connecting rods. Ford is still claiming a projected 420 hp and 390 lb-ft, although as many of the changes for the 2015's V8 come from the 2013 Boss 302, we're going to assume there's some sandbagging at work.
