For sale is a fun to drive and reliable 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. This is is the most enjoyable classic car I have ever owned to take out and cruise around in. The car has power everything: brakes, steering, windows, seat, door locks and A/C. The car has a powerful, torque monster 390 cubic inch V8 paired with a Cruise a Matic transmission and a Ford 9" differential with 3.25 gears. The car has high performance exhaust manifolds, similar to headers except they are cast, and a performance dual exhaust with H pipe.

Mechanical: The engine and transmission run just like they should. They only have 7,000 miles on them since complete rebuild. The car has drum brakes at all corners and when stopping if you really get on the brakes the car will pull a little to the left. Drum brakes will almost always do this no matter how many times you have them turned or worked on.

Body: The body is rust free and is wearing a paint job completed in June of 2013. All the body panels are straight and there is no evidence that the vehicle has ever been wrecked or had significant rust problems. There is one area of imperfection on the body work that is on the passenger side under the rear door, the pictures show it. This was the only area that needed any body work before paint and needless to say it did not get fixed 100%. It is not evident unless you squat down or the light hits it just right. Other than that the body and paint are in excellent condition. Underneath the car it is evident that the vehicle has been taken care of seeing how little rust there is. Take a look at the pictures underneath and you can see that it is nothing that cannot be wire brushed off. These vehicles were built like Sherman tanks, look at how huge the frame rails are! As it sits this is a 5,000 lb vehicle.

Electrical: The power seats do work, they go back and forth but not up and down. Of the power windows only the driver side works. The other three need to have the motors rebuilt which is around 90$ per window after parts and labor. The power locks and radio do not work. All the other lights, gauges, etc do work.

Interior: The interior of the car is in good shape for being original. There are two obvious areas on the front and rear bench seats that can be fixed. Take a close look at the pictures and you can see that they are not tears but are separations in the stitching of the seat. The headliner is in good condition and the door panels are in acceptable condition for being original.

When doing the final parts of this restoration I decided not to chrome the bumpers. I had an idea that to better match the cruiser theme and the aluminum side moldings that powder coating the bumpers an aluminum color would fit well, and it did. Every time I look at the car the bumpers grow more on me. The whole theme of this build was an understated cruiser that would catch the eye driving by and get a lot of looks sitting still.

Here is a short video of the car. Sorry but the video is rotated and you'll be turning your head to watch it.

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Ford open to diesel, hybrid or electric Mustang? [w/poll]

Sun, 08 Dec 2013

The Ford Mustang may not be the first vehicle that comes to mind when you think of environmentally-friendly forms of transportation. The arrival of the turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the new Mustang could do a lot to combat that perception, but the EcoBoost engine may just be the tip of the iceberg in that regard.
Speaking with Ford powertrain boss Bob Fascetti at the reveal of the new Mustang in Australia, GoAuto reports that the Blue Oval automaker is considering offering its latest pony car with a diesel, hybrid or even electric powertrain in the future.
"We're not looking at diesel at the moment, but given where we need to go with fuel consumption we are looking at all our options," said Fascetti. Other options could include a nine- or ten-speed automatic transmission to replace the current six-speed unit in order to help improve fuel economy and emissions for the Mustang, although figures for the current lineup have yet to be revealed.

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Ford is recalling 738 examples of the 2015 2015 Mustang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine – 712 in the US, 16 in Canada. A fuel pressure sensor might have been installed incorrectly on the affected cars, and that could result in a fuel leak. At the time of writing the company hasn't heard any reports of any incidents related to the issue, and parties with affected vehicles can take them to the dealer to have the fuel tube assembly replaced free of charge. The 2014 Transit Connect Cargo Van is also the subject of a safety recall, due to a possible problem with adhesive used on the exterior plastic panel on the sliding doors. There are 19,825 units covered by that recall, which dealers will also repair free of charge. You can find more information on both bulletins in the press releases below.
