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.

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
Lincoln 'not true luxury' yet, says Ford design chief
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Lincoln is "not true luxury," according to Ford's design boss, J Mays. His statements come from a story in The Detroit News that saw candid language on the issues facing Ford's troubled premium brand. Notably, there's a need for a strong character, with Mays saying, "Every brand needs to have a DNA and a unique selling point and things in the vehicle that make you think, 'That's that particular brand.'"
With a range of rebadged Fords, it's not hard to see why that DNA is missing. Mays hinted that a full recovery for Lincoln will be a ten-year process, that's been kicked off with the MKZ sedan. While that car is still largely a Ford Fusion under its extremely pretty wrapper, it's the first Lincoln in some time to inject its own unique take both through the exterior styling and through interior features, such as the vertical, pushbutton gear selection.
Some analysts weren't so certain about Mays' 10-year estimate. Jim Hall of 2953 Analytics thinks it'll be more like 30 years before Lincoln can show a true return to form. The issue, as Hall explains it, is that, "luxury has a degree of exclusivity," that Lincoln just doesn't have. Michelle Krebs from Edmunds adds, "it's definitely a wanna-be luxury brand," comparing the troubled American brand with Infiniti and Acura, two other brands that have struggled to find their place in the luxury market.
2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions
Fri, 08 Mar 2013As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
