Rare Galaxie 500XL

Club Victoria

Drive or Restore

 

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 

VEHICLE HISTORY:   This 52 year old survivor was purchased new in 1962 by the current owner’s father.  Since he lived in Florida he ordered it with the heater deleted and saved $75.10.  He did splurge on power steering, tinted windshield, and an AM radio for a total sticker price of $3,652!    When he passed away in 1978 his son inherited his Dad’s sporty cruiser.  It has resided in Ohio for the past 36 years and only driven 6,000 miles in that time.  He doesn’t have the time to drive it anymore.  So it is time for a new owner to enjoy “as is” or do a restoration on this very solid 1962 survivor. 

MARQUE HISTORY:  In 1962 Ford applied the Galaxie model name to all full size cars and completely restyled the model line.  The cars looked cleaner and the fins were gone.  The Galaxie 500XL series was new for 1962, and was the top of the line, sporty series of the Galaxie line.  There were only two models of the 500XL, the Club Victoria (hardtop) and the Sunliner (convertible). 

SPECIFICATIONS:  Interceptor V8 Engine, 352CI, 220HP, OHV, Cast Iron Block, 4.00” Bore X 3.50” Stroke, 5-Main Bearings, 2-BBL Holley Carburetor, 8.9:1 Compression, 3-Speed Cruise-O-Matic Transmission, 119” Wheelbase, 209” O/A Length, 3782 Pound Curb Weight, 20 Gallon Fuel Tank, Power Steering, 11” Drum Brakes. 

FEATURES:  Chrome Windshield Moldings, Chrome “A” Pillar Moldings, Chrome Window Moldings, Chrome Rear Window Moldings, Chrome Rocker Panel Moldings, 2-Sun Visors, Chrome Horn Ring, Arm Rests, Bucket Seats, Floor Mounted Shift Lever, Console, Engine Turned Instrument Panel Insert, Back-Up Lights, Clock. 

OPTIONS:   Thunderbird 352CI 2-BBL Special V8, 800X14 WSW Tires, Power Steering, Push Button Radio, Tinted Windshield, Padded Dash & Visors.

VEHICLE CONDITION:  

We do a mechanical and cosmetic inspection to each vehicle before listing it for sale.  This report is included below will provide a reasonable description of the vehicle condition.  Older vehicles are subject to normal wear and tear and we have tried to indicate the overall condition of the vehicle to the best of our ability.  But, we can not always find everything that is not perfect with a vehicle, so independent inspections are welcome and encouraged.  We drive each vehicle approximately 20 miles, but this is no indication of its long term road-worthiness.  The only guarantee with an older vehicle is that someplace, sometime, something will need repaired!

Ford hybrids getting update to improve fuel economy

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Chris Harris drives the 2015 Ford Mustang Over There

Thu, Jul 30 2015

Ford makes some cars for America, and some cars for overseas. Sometimes those models cross over the ocean in one direction or another, but the Mustang has historically been a pony car meant for America. That all changes with the new model, though. It's not that Ford didn't design the new Mustang for American customers – it's just that it also refined it for markets overseas that aren't quite used to the live-axle brutality to which muscle car enthusiasts in the US have grown accustomed. Now that the Mustang is being offered in Europe – and in the UK with right-hand drive – it was only a matter of time before Chris Harris got his hands on one. And that's just what he's done for this latest video clip, taking a Mustang GT for a spin on both road and track in Wales. That's right, Harris is piloting the V8 model, not the EcoBoost four. So what does he think about an American expat shipped to the British isles? You'll want to watch the ten-minute clip yourself to gather his full impressions. But the long and short of it is that, while Harris doesn't think it's quite the match for something like a BMW M3, the Mustang doesn't cost anywhere near as much as the Bimmer. And that goes a long way, especially with all that rubber laid down on the track in the process.

Shelby Mustang stars with Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez in Getaway movie

Thu, 06 Jun 2013

Car movies. We keep watching them, they keep making them. Despite Fast & Furious 6 still blowing up the box office (No. 1 in theaters for the second straight week) and production on Transformers 4 being well underway (check out the Bugatti Veyron and Corvette Stingray as new cast members), there's still room on the marquee for more car movies. Next one up is an Ethan Hawke joint called Getaway, which prominently co-stars a Ford Shelby GT500. The first trailer for Getaway, which opens in theaters on August 30, was released yesterday and can be watched below.
The movie's plot centers around Hawke's character, former race car driver Brent Magna, who must somehow use this car, what appears to be a generation-old Shelby GT500 Super Snake he "commandeered," to save his wife. The movie's third co-star is Selena Gomez, whose character we're told is the owner of said Shelby. A 20-year-old having a car like this seems a bit far-fetched - especially in Europe - and on paper, this plot looks like it cribs liberally from Charlie Sheen's 1994 The Chase. But all we've got to go on is a brief plot description and the trailer below, so we'll withhold judgment until the studio firmly has our ticket money in its grasp.
The Shelby GT500 is, of course, no stranger to acting. Before this jump to celluloid, the most fearsome of all Mustang models starred in the return of Knight Rider to television on NBC back in 2008. That gig didn't pan out for the car, the show lasting only one season and 17 episodes. In fact, with its casting in Getaway, the Shelby GT500 is one of the few actors who escaped that debacle with a future in show biz.
