She is a beauty!!!!! LOL!!!! Rare Vintage Gasser!!!!! This no reserve action is for a rusted out 1963 1/2 galaxie 500 2 door hard top fast back R code 427 425 horse power 4 speed rolling shell from Hawaii [ NO ENGINE OR TRANS] still has dash board and back seat and back door panels steering column with after market steering wheel and i think a quick rational standard steering box? and front suspension with the police interceptor 3 inch wide drum brakes. Drivers side drum is shot with hole in it. See pictures. The back of the frame doesn't look bad from what i can see but the front core support member needs help or maybe can't be fixed but included is a front core support frame section that i cut out of a 1963 1/2 galaxie xl frame. I will also be installing the rear end and regular rear springs from that same XL frame to make this a roller. It wasn't till October that 427 cars got 31 spline axles and this one is a 28 spline so it would be correct for 427 early cars which this one is. It still has the door jam tag and cal tags attached and a clean Oregon title. It decodes as. Body= 63 B is 2 door fast back,Color = 1, Gold metallic or better known as champagne, Trim/interior = 95 is Red Red, Date is 12 C = March 12 1963, DSO is 71 = Las Angles, Axel is 9= 4:11 gears, Trans is 5 = 4 speed trans. Vin # is 3J66R150606. It also has a NHRA ?championship or national record holder sticker on the drivers side inter fender well. Most of the sticker is currently missing.It also has a Honolulu police sticker police saying this is a reconstructed car on the pass side front window. See pictures. Also an alarm sticker. Did the car get stolen and had to be rebuilt. Or is this one of 12 gold light weight cars that got rebuilt with regular parts after it crashed??? I wish i knew the stories it could tell about those 411 gears and how many people say its tail lights at the end of the run???? It appears it might have ran with skinny tires on 15x7 us slot mags that i will have on the front of the car with newer 165 /15 tires that hold air. The wheels have patina like they lived there for 40 or more years. Then there is the special seat belts that were only in the front but that say Superior ind model 985????? Were they race car seat belts???Not included in sale!!! And how many cars were ordered with 411 rear ends and for what use????? I wish it could talk and tell me stories!!!! If any one knows what car it was please help me id it. It came back to the mainland to Portland Oregon and with its friend a light weight car that was thought to be Bonhams car that now houses the original engine trans and rear end out of this car. ? I think it might have some race history and if you know it does please help if not for the car but the people of Hawaii this could be a national treasure not junk!! License number AXX 191 aloha state. Don't laugh to much! These cars are getting hard to find and people have been known to re body these and with all the proper drive train it is still a R code car in my book. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING PLEASE!!!! What i think i am selling here besides its history is a rebuild able rolling frame with clear title and good vin tag and door jam id tags For a R code 427 425 hp car. Please don't call and ask how much rust out it has!!! It has a LOT !!!!!!!!! I will help load for transportation purpose but don't want to be any more than 2 hours before charging an additional $25.00 per hour after that.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
Junkyard Gem: 1993 Mercury Topaz GS Sedan
Sat, Aug 13 2022As long as the Mercury brand existed — a period spanning the 1939 through 2011 model years — nearly every Mercury sold in the United States was more or less a redecorated Ford model. The Torino had its Montego sibling, the Crown Victoria had the Grand Marquis, the Cougar was based on everything from the Mustang to the Mondeo, and so on. Naturally, when the folks in Dearborn developed the Ford Tempo compact, a Mercury version had to be created. This was the Topaz, with the official launch of both cars taking place on the deck of the aircraft carrier often referred to as the USS Decrepit. You can't make this stuff up! The Tempo/Topaz, also known as the Tempaz, has largely faded from our collective automotive memory by now, since it broke no significant new engineering or styling ground (this story would be much different if Ford had only put the amazing straight-eight "T-Drive" Tempaz powertrain into production) and didn't have any endearing features other than being a cheap domestic competitor to the Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra. Still, close to 3 million Tempazes left North American Ford and Lincoln-Mercury showrooms during the 1984-1994 period. As you'd expect, most of these disposable cars disappeared from both the street and the car graveyard long ago. It takes a very special Tempaz for me to break out my camera while I'm patrolling my local wrecking yards; generally, this means an ultra-rare all-wheel-drive version or at least a very early model in super-clean condition. Today's Junkyard Gem is neither, but I took one look at this spectacular Bordello Red crypto-velour-and-slippery-plastic interior and recognized that this was no ordinary junkyard Mercury. It appears that Mercury had dropped the idea of clever names for base-grade seat fabrics by the time of the Topaz, referring to this stuff as just "cloth" in all the brochures I could find. That's too bad, because Mercurys had cool names for upholstery (e.g., Chromatex) in the old days. The interior is in very good condition but the steering wheel shows substantial wear, so I think this is a high-mile Topaz that got meticulous care from its owner or owners. Ford used five-digit odometers on these cars until the end of production, however, so we'll never know if this reading indicates 65,404 miles or 365,404 miles. The body is very straight, but there's some nasty corrosion behind the right front wheelwell.
Autoblog joins Elon Musk and Danica Patrick in accepting ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Tue, 19 Aug 2014Unless you've been living in an off-the-grid cabin in the woods for the last couple of weeks or abstain entirely from social media activities, you've probably seen someone you know dump a bucket of ice and water over their own head recently. While the origins of the so-called Ice Bucket Challenge are shrouded in a history typical of Internet memes, its effectiveness in raising money and awareness for the ALS Association has been astonishing.
Celebrities from the worlds of entertainment, sports, technology and more have generated untold millions of video views in support of the organization that is helping patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and generated a much needed influx of cash, as well. Recent reports have some $15.6M raised in the last two weeks.
Of course, the big-hearted world of automotive celebrities has taken part in the drenching charity effort as well. Follow on below for some of the biggest names on four wheels getting iced for charity, with a smattering of your favorite Autobloggers thrown in for good measure.
