I am selling an all original numbers matching 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 black plate car that was purchased at Harrold Ford in Sacramento in 1963. The family that owned it used the vehicle for several years before moving up to Klamath Falls, Oregon. The original owner's son was given the car, and the 352 cu. in. engine was rebuilt along with several other restoration points. I have a binder full of all of the work done on the vehicle from 1965 to present as well as registration cards, this is a WELL documented vehicle. The car was purchased in 2001, and I used it as a daily driver during school. I still have a set of four snow tires mounted and balanced that will go with the car, they were used once. Since I have owned the car, I have added several accessories including front and rear bumper guards, center hood strip, tissue box, the clock was converted over to a quartz movement, 4-barrel Edelbrock carburetor with performance cams, Petronix system to eliminate points and condensor failures, and many other detail points to list. A great deal of effort has been made to still keep the car as factory correct as when it left the assembly line in 1963. I am probably leaving out some points, but I believe the pictures will speak for themselves. The car is not 100% perfect, but for it's age it would take very very little to make this a true 400 point car. I am selling this car as I do not have the time or money to enjoy it anymore and I believe it is time for someone else to have the opportunity to own this true survivor. I have seen comparible Impalas sell for more than what I am asking. I believe for the history that this vehicle carries, that the price is more than fair, but I will consider serious offers. I also may consider a partial trade for a nice driver condition vehicle of the 1950's or 1960's.
You can reach me by email at: str8226@yahoo.com for questions, additional pictures and also a video link of the vehicle running.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat
Mon, 28 Jul 2014Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
Here's the new face of the Ford Ranger
Thu, Nov 27 2014Ford Asia Pacific has put a teaser video on YouTube showing off details on the 2015 Ranger pickup, and at the end we get a quick glimpse of the whole truck. This is the T6 Ranger that we still don't get in North America, but that shares its underpinnings with the Everest SUV recently introduced at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. The Ranger gets a chunkier front end than the Everest, identified by its grille with three floating slats, reminiscent of designs on the previous F-150, and a less-stylized lower front bumper. Ford says it will be smarter, safer, smoother and stronger, but we'll have to wait for its reveal to find out what that means. Meanwhile, you can admire its new looks in the video below.
Ford recalling 65k Fusions from 2014 and 2015 because key can be removed
Tue, 18 Nov 2014Ford is recalling an estimated 64,869 examples of the 2014-2015 Fusion, Fusion Energi and Fusion Hybrid in North America because the key can be removed when the vehicle isn't in Park under certain conditions. Specifically, the campaign covers 56,479 units in the US, 6,048 in Canada and 2,342 in Mexico, according to the automaker's tally on November 11.
Ford says a programming problem in the instrument cluster means that the key can be removed 30 minutes after the ignition is turned off, even if the transmission is not in Park. The situation where this could happen seems quite limited, and the company is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. However, the fault puts the vehicle out of compliance with federal regulations covering theft protection and rollaways, and must be repaired.
The fix is easy: Ford will reprogram the instrument cluster at no cost to consumers. According to Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker in an email to Autoblog, "We will notify customers the week of January 5th." Scroll down to read Ford's announcement.
