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.

Mustang pinball game will feature art by Ford GT designer

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

To celebrate 50 years of Mustang, Ford and Stern Pinball are collaborating on a new pinball machine that will feature the muscle car in all its glory, Polygon reports. Even better, Camilo Pardo, the guy who designed the Ford GT, will provide art for the table; Tanner Foust, Top Gear USA host and professional driver, will handle narrating duties; and a Sony Music soundtrack spanning five decades will provide the tunes.
"The Mustang is one of the most iconic, American cars ever made... What better way to celebrate 50 years of Mustang than with the launch of the Ford Mustang pinball game?" says Stern Pinball CEO Gary Stern.
Watch the promotional trailer for the upcoming Mustang pinball machine below, which will have to hold you over until pricing and availability are announced in early 2014.

Child cobalt miners: Automakers pledge ethical minerals sourcing for EVs

Wed, Nov 29 2017

BERLIN - Leading carmakers including Volkswagen and Toyota pledged on Wednesday to uphold ethical and socially responsible standards in their purchases of minerals for an expected boom in electric vehicle production. Demand for minerals such as cobalt, graphite and lithium is forecast to soar in the coming years as governments crack down on vehicle pollution and carmakers step up their investments in electric models. To cover its plans for more than 80 new models by 2025, Volkswagen alone is looking for partners in China, Europe and North America to provide battery cells and related technology worth more than 50 billion euros ($59 billion). Talks with major cobalt producers, including Glencore, at VW's Wolfsburg headquarters last week ended without a deal. More than half of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a country racked by political instability and legal opacity, and where child labor is used in mines. On Wednesday, a group of 10 leading passenger-car and truck manufacturers announced an initiative to jointly identify and address ethical, environmental, human and labor rights issues in raw materials sourcing. The partnership dubbed "Drive Sustainability" consists of VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler, BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars and truckmakers Scania and Volvo. The alliance "will assess the risks posed by the top raw materials (such as mica, cobalt, rubber and leather) in the automotive sector," said Stefan Crets of the CSR Europe business network. "This will allow Drive Sustainability to identify the most impactful activities to pursue" to address issues within the supply chain.Reporting by Andreas Cremer.Related Video: Image Credit: Michael Robinson Chavez/The Washington Post via Getty Images Green BMW Ford Honda Jaguar Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Automakers Toyota Volkswagen Volvo Green Automakers Green Culture Electric Scania ethics mining

Mustang driver proves wheels are overrated

Mon, 21 Apr 2014

We don't need to tell you that there's something missing in the image above. What we do need to tell you is that this is not a picture of a parked car stranded on the highway. This is, rather, just one frame from video of that three-wheeled Mustang traveling down the highway at highway-appropriate speed.
We don't know where you'd have to be nor how badly you'd have to be there to go shooting down the freeway in a car with three wheels, but if the New Daily News is correct, that place is somewhere in Texas. The video's short, but you'll have plenty of time to shake your head at it by just scrolling down.
