1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 6.4l on 2040-cars
Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States

For Sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2Dr convertible. It has a clear Michigan title. I don't know it's history, but understand it was a barn-find in Virginia. It has a 352 V-8 engine that sometime in the past was bored-out to a 390 CID. It is a manual transmission - 3 speed shifter in the steering column. Manual steering and manual brakes. It has a new convertible top, which operates by power. In the last year, it has received new piston rings, push rods, all new gaskets and seals, new timing chain and sprockets, rebuilt transmission, new generator and voltage regulator, new starter, new fuel pump, new gas tank and sending unit, tune-up with points/condenser/cap/spark plugs, carburetor rebuild, new thermostat, shifting linkage rebuild, spring suspension supports, and brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders rebuild. The car runs well, and drives like a dream. Older dual exhaust on NOS exhaust manifolds sounds great. A larger radiator was installed sometime in the past. Holley 2 BBL carb. It has an older body restoration, the paint shines nicely, but there are some imperfections, the trim is all attached, but not in perfect shape. There is some rust-through on a lower rocker panel, and a little rust on the floor board. The tires have great tread, but are several years old and do show some signs of cracking in the sidewalls. Interior appears to be original. Seats have no holes or tears, the door panels and side panels are a little worn, but everything is there and in OK shape. All of the glass is in great shape, and the windows all operate freely. Headlights, wipers, turn signals, speedometer and odometer work. The odometer shows 61,000+ miles, but I have no way of knowing if that's accurate. This car is fun to drive. I've tried to list as much information as possible, please don't hesitate to ask questions. This car has no warranty, and is being sold as is. It is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to close the auction early if it does sell. I have posted a few pictures. Good Faith Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of close of the auction. Final payment within 10 days. Funds will be cash or PayPal only. Transportation at the buyer's expense. |

Autoblog Minute: Ford Ranger, UK Mustang, Hyundai Hybrid
Fri, Aug 28 2015Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over the Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of the Toyota Prius and a new Hyundai. Autoblog's senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the weekly recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Ford may bring the Ranger back to the US, the UK goes nuts over Mustang, and the battle of hybrids heats up with spy shots of Prius and a new Hyundai. I'm Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute weekly recap. 2011 was the last time we saw Ford's midsize pickup in the US but according to a report from the Detroit News we could see production of the Ranger at the [00:00:30] Dearborn automaker's Michigan Assembly Plant as early as 2018. Ranger could compete with the Chevy Colorado and perhaps revive the compact and midsize pickup market for Ford, but the future of Ranger in the US depends a lot on Ford's ongoing negotiations with the UAW. About 2,000 orders for the 2015 Mustang were placed in the UK, tying up production of the pony car until July 2016. According to details in a press release from Ford UK, [00:01:00] it looks like Brits are a lot like their American cousins, opting for the 5.0 liter V8, with Race Red as the popular color of choice. Photos of the 2016 Toyota Prius leaked generating a lot of buzz over the styling. This fourth generation Prius will have some new competition as spy shots of a new Hyundai also surfaced this week. The car is said to be a hybrid and a bonafide "Prius fighter." Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday, [00:01:30] including the latest in FCA rumors for 2016. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Production Ford Escort heading for Beijing
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Ford's long-dormant Escort nameplate returned affixed to a sedan concept at last year's Shanghai Motor Show. While not exactly a beauty, it showed a clean, straightforward take on Ford's current styling. The Blue Oval said at the time that it wanted to create a model that was stylish "but not one that is arrogant or pretentious." Job done. A year later, it looks like the minimalist vehicle might make its production debut at the Beijing Motor Show.
Autocar claims that the streetgoing version has been confirmed to it for the upcoming show, but so far, Ford isn't saying. If unveiled, the Escort is likely to be produced locally for the Chinese market with a domestic partner. Powertrain details remain a secret, but it seems highly likely that any production model would use a small three- or four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. Sales in other major world markets like ours are unlikely, but a test car was recently spotted in Europe.
Autoblog contacted Ford for confirmation, but the automaker demurred, with a spokesperson saying only, "At the moment, we are not confirming any vehicles planned for the show." It looks like we will have to wait to know for sure.
Ford moving medium-duty F-Series production from Mexico to Ohio
Thu, 27 Feb 2014
A few more Ford trucks will be built in the US in the near future with news that production of the F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks will move from Mexico to Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, OH. Ford hasn't confirmed a precise timeline for the move, but The Detroit News claims the Blue Oval will make the shift later this year or in early 2015.
As Ford spokesperson Mike Levine reminded us, back in 2011, Ford announced in an investor release that it would shift production "after the [Ohio] plant stops current production of the Ford E-Series vans." According to that release, the Ohio factory will also receive $128 million in upgrades to build the new trucks, plus the F53 motorhome chassis and F59 commercial chassis.
