1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Vintage Original Unrestored Classic V8 Factory Ac Ca Car on 2040-cars
Round Mountain, California, United States
|
Our 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door hard top with 260 V8 is an all original unrestored car. It was manufactured in Dallas, TX and shipped to California. We have the original owner's manual and are the second owners. It has always been garaged and well maintained. The title is clear and in my name. It has the original two tone Glacier Blue paint with the Viking Blue hard top. The paint is in really good condition with some minor touchup paint applied to nicks by the first owner. The body and original molding is in really nice, straight condition. There's one small dent in this car near the grille on the passenger side and that's it. Original wheels and hub caps. The wheels have some superficial rust on them. Michelin tires are about 75% or better remaining tread. All the glass is in nice condition with no cracks or chips. All of the window cranks work freely. Original seatbelts. The seats show a patina where the white sections are not pure white anymore. Carpet is in great shape with no rot. Headliner is original and in great shape. Dome light cover is missing. Dash paint is weathered a bit as seen in photos but as with the rest of the car, I left it as is unrestored. This car has Ford factory air conditioning and it works but is blowing cool air and not ice cold so it could probably use a recharge. All of the dash instruments work including the original AM radio, heater, defroster, turn signals, horn, etc. All of the exterior lights work. The 260 V8 runs very quiet with no ticking, tapping, knocking or faltering. It starts right up and has no modifications to it. It gets exercised and serviced regularly and has not been sitting. The water pump and AC belt were recently replaced. The automatic transmission goes into gear with a positive bump as it should and does not slip, clunk or falter. Brakes work as they should without pulling to one side or the other. We keep this in the garage and it doesn't leak any fluids. These Galaxies are only truly original like this once. |

Ford supports bid for Detroit Rallycross race with Motown-minded Fiesta ST vid
Mon, 01 Jul 2013As Ford continues its cheerleading effort to help bring the 2014 Summer X Games to its hometown of Detroit, MI, it has released footage of its 2014 Fiesta ST Rallycross car on location at some of the city's well-known landmarks. This video appears to have been shot around the same time as the previous X Games Detroit video was made, but it focuses 100-percent on rally car action.
With Ford Racing driver Andreas Eriksson behind the wheel, this Fiesta ST lays down some serious rubber atop Detroit's Cobo Hall parking structure, at Belle Isle and around the Michigan Central Depot. Detroit isn't alone in the bid for a three-year X Games contract as Chicago, Austin and Charlotte are also hoping to play host. The winning host city is expected to be announced this summer. Scroll down for Ford's two-minute video showing the Fiesta ST Rallycrossing through the Motor City.
Ford Escort returns, just not for US
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Ford is set to give the burgeoning Chinese market its very own C-segment model, while also reviving one of the brand's more notable nameplates. The new Escort, which will make its world debut at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show will be built in the People's Republic at the Changan Ford joint venture facility.
The Escort's exterior is best thought of as a mix of the finer points from the US market Focus and Fusion, with the Aston Martin-ish grille and narrow, wraparound taillights presenting a clean look at either end of the car. It's all fairly true to the concept car from last year's Shanghai Motor Show. That said, this exterior job is almost too clean. There doesn't seem to be a lot of character or substance beyond the typical Ford looks.
There's a similar issue in the cabin - it all looks pretty nice, but the design is rather plain, particularly when viewed alongside the display-filled cabin of a US-spec car. Still, there looks to be a fair amount of space in both the front and back seats, and the trunk isn't exactly tiny, either.
Leno drives Henry Ford II's all-original '52 Ferrari 212 Barchetta
Tue, 17 Jun 2014The story of the relationship between Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari is absolutely fascinating. The two great men of the auto industry had what appeared to be a burgeoning friendship until Ferrari pulled out of a deal to sell his company to Ford in the '60s. The latest car featured in Jay Leno's Garage is a 1952 Ferrari 212 Barchetta that tells the very beginnings of that story.
This Prancing Horse was a gift to Ford from Enzo when the two companies were first thinking about merging, according to the curator of the Petersen Automotive Museum. Ferrari really wanted to show off its best so instead of the 212's normal V12, this car was fitted with the larger 2.7-liter unit from a Ferrari 225. The car has been almost unaltered since then. It still wears its original paint, and it's tires date back to 1954.
The great thing about the Petersen is that unlike a lot of auto museums, the people there actually drive the cars and keep them in working order. Once on the road with Leno behind the wheel, this Ferrari really sings. Unfortunately, he can't open it up too much because the 60-year-old tires really hold things back. Scroll down to watch this amazing piece of automotive history and learn it's possible effect on the styling of the original Ford Thunderbird.
