Up for auction is a 1963 Galaxie 500 4 door sedan. It has the original 352 big block engine that I upgraded with a 1963 Police Interceptor Aluminum intake and 1963 4100 Autolite 4 bbl carburetor. Also the heads are off a 1964 390 with a complete valve job. The headers are reproduction cast iron shorties just like the police cars had in 1963. I did not rebuild the bottom end because the original main bearings dated 8/11/62 were still in like new condition. The engine runs very strong. Also a complete 2 1/4" dual exhaust system with Dynomax SS welded mufflers. The cruise-o-matic transmission shifts and drives good. The rear end is the original 9" ford open differential with 3.00 gears. The factory power steering system has also been completely restored with all new parts from the PS pump to the tie rod ends.

Exterior repairs that I have completed are as follows right and left rear quarter panel replacement, floor pan and trunk pan replacement and drivers side rear door replacement. The front clip was stripped down to bare metal and any rust was removed. All weather stripping has been replaced including windshield and rear glass gaskets. All exterior rust was cut out and new metal was welded in. the only rust left on the car is in three of the four doors Those areas would take less than 2" diameter patches to repair. Also there are NOS Front and Rear Bumpers installed.

Interior repairs that have been completed are New carpeting, New door panels and seat covers that were made from NOS ford vinyl. The dash was disassembled stripped and painted to match the interior. An NOS Police speedo was installed and a 17" steering wheel was restored and installed.

Additional things that have been completed are The original drum brake system was completely rebuilt to factory specs. 5 New 15" tires were mounted on replacement 15 X 5.5" steel rims and capped off with a set of OEM Stainless Steel Dog Dish hubcaps.

All of the exterior molding is in average shape and will go with the car. 

I have owned the car since 2009. During that time I have invested over 10K in parts to restore this car. I have all the receipts that will go with the car. Also going with the car is a photo book that documents the entire process of repair to date since 2009.

If you would like to see this entire process all the photos are posted on my FB page. Just follow the link below.

The reason I am selling this car is that I have too many projects to finish any so I decided to part with this beauty that just needs a little more TLC.

The car runs good and I am not afraid to take it anywhere. In March I drove it to Myrtle Beach for Run to the Sun car show.

 

Buyer is responsible for shipping. The car will only be released after complete payment has been received. It can be picked up locally and driven anywhere.

Ford, Samsung shack up to bring regen braking to non-hybrid models [w/video]

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Ford must be desperate to get itself ready for the beach this summer because it is really trying to get into shape. Shortly after unveiling the Lightweight Concept that cut the weight of a Fusion down to that of a Fiesta, it's now the rest of the line's turn for improvement. The company is wrapping up a 10-year research project aimed at developing next-gen automotive batteries to improve efficiency.
Ford claims that 70 percent of its lineup will have stop/start tech by 2017. The key to this massive proliferation is its new dual-battery system that combines a lithium-ion battery with a lead-acid one and regenerative braking. The setup works by harvesting braking energy and converting it to electricity. When the vehicle stops, the engine shuts off, but the Li-ion battery has enough juice to keep the accessories running. The engine starts up again as drivers take their foot off the brake. The layout would mean less wasted gas while idling. It's already available on Ford hybrids and is somewhat similar to the i-Eloop capacitor-based system from Mazda.
The bigger challenge is tuning the regenerative braking right. While hybrid drivers may be a little more adventurous, when it comes to getting a hang of regen braking, conventional buyers might not be so open-minded. The systems have a tendency to be a little grabby at first and then taper off at very low speeds. Ford needs to make sure it's just right to avoid turning off buyers.

Ford Recalls Nearly 700,000 Vehicles

Fri, May 9 2014

Ford is recalling more than 692,000 Escape small SUVs and C-Max gas-electric hybrids in North America to fix two safety problems. The recalls cover vehicles from the 2013 and 2014 model years. Most of the Escapes have both problems. The first case covers 692,500 Escape and C-Max vehicles. A software glitch can stop the side curtain air bags from inflating in certain types of rollover crashes. The company says it has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control computer for free. About 65,000 of the recalled vehicles are C-Max models, and the rest are Escapes. Roughly 591,000 are in the U.S., with 3,500 more in U.S. territories. About 78,000 are in Canada and another 19,500 are in Mexico, Fordspokeswoman Kelli Felker said in an e-mail. There could be more vehicles affected in other markets, the company said. The affected Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011 through Feb. 14, 2014. The C-Max vehicles were built from Jan. 19, 2012, through Feb. 24, 2014. The second case covers about 692,700 Escapes. Exterior door handles can bind and stop the door from latching properly. This could allow doors to open while the SUVs are in motion. Dealers will inspect the handles and reposition them if needed. No crashes or injuries have been reported. About 583,000 are in the U.S. or its territories, with another 89,500 in Canada and 20,000 in Mexico. Ford said in this case, the problem may affect vehicles in other markets. All the North American Escapes were built from Oct. 5, 2011, through April 10, 2014. Recalls Ford escape

Monsoon rains disrupt production for Ford, BMW in India

Wed, Dec 2 2015

Even modern production techniques can be stymied by Mother Nature. This was demonstrated most recently in India, as torrential, monsoon rains caused a deluge that forced multiple automakers to suspend production. Ford, Renault, and BMW all halted work at their Indian facilities around the southern city of Chennai, also known as Madras. The annual rains disrupted public transport around the city, preventing employees from making the trek into city's factories. According to Automotive News, Chennai saw 48 inches of precipitation last month alone, which is more than Seattle, WA saw in all of 2014. While Ford and BMW closed things down for all of December 1, Renault just cancelled a pair of shifts at its Chennai factory. This is the second time in the past month that automakers in southeast India have been forced to stop production due to severe flooding, and things aren't likely to improve. According to The Weather Channel, forecasts call for thunderstorms over five of the next seven days, while the chance of rain won't fall below 80 percent until December 8. Ford, Renault, and BMW are far from the only automakers that could stand to be impacted by the rains. The city has been nicknamed "The Detroit of India" for its extreme automotive presence. Daimler, Hindustan, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, and Nissan all own factories in the region.
