For sale is a very rare, all original 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL "G Code" Box Top. This car feature's a 406 Tri Power, factory cast iron headers, AM/FM radio, Sun Tach and factory tinted glass. The car was built in November of 1962 where it was sold in Hawthorn California. This car was a California/New Mexico all its life until it was recently brought to Canada. There is absolutely no rust to speak of. Being a "G Code" this '63 Galaxie is powered by the 406 with a tri power, 3x2 carb system. It is also equipped with a 4 speed transmission. A 4 Speed transmission came in all 406 Galaxies. The engine and transmission are numbers matching right down to the carbs being original and matching to the engine. The engine was rebuilt 12k miles ago. The engine is very strong and I actually drove it 1,400 Miles from New Mexico to Alberta. As you can see in the pictures the paint on the fenders and roof is thin. About 95% of the paint is original. It has been touched up on the trunk and tops of the quarter panels. It has a few minor dents. All the trim on the car is beautiful. It's very hard to find these cars with trim in this good of shape. The interior is all original and absolutely beautiful with minor wear. You can see in the pictures that it has a Sun Tach. The Tach was possibly installed at the dealer ship when the car was new and somewhere down the line someone changed the original shifter to a Hurst shifter. It even has original factory floor matts! This '63 Galaxie is a true survivor. This car was rare when it was built and how many actually survived? It's very hard to find a rare car like this that hasn't been messed with.

BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS AND COSTS. BUYER IS MORE THEN WELCOME TO COME PICK IT UP.

Here's how much the new Ford Mustang will cost in Germany
Thu, Jan 8 2015While you can find Ford Mustangs across Europe, they were brought over there courtesy of importers, rather than Ford itself. That's changing with the 2015 pony car, as Ford will be selling it directly through its overseas dealers. Now, we know how much German customers will be shelling out for the muscle car, courtesy of the maniacs at Mustang6G. Not surprisingly, there's a fairly hefty premium compared to US prices. The base Mustang, with its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed manual transmission will start at 34,000 euros ($40,214, at today's rates), while the 5.0-liter V8/six-speed-manual model starts at 39,000 euros ($46,127). The Mustang Convertible demands an extra 4,000 euros ($4,731) while the optional six-speed automatic elevates the price by 2,000 euros ($2,365), regardless, in both cases, of whether there are four or eight cylinders under that long hood. While those prices are certainly pretty dear compared to what we pay in the US, the Mustang is a genuine bargain compared to some of Europe's other sports coupes. The German market BMW 4 Series starts at 36,050 euros ($42,638), while a base 435i calls for 48,100 euros ($56,891). It's a similar story with the Audi A5/S5. As for the Mustang's arch-nemesis, the Chevrolet Camaro, which is only available with the SS model's 6.2-liter V8, starts at 39,990 euros ($47,298), comparing quite evenly with the 5.0-liter GT.
Ford's Explorer-based Police Interceptor to get 365-hp EcoBoost option
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Speeders beware, the police are going to be getting quite a bit faster. Ford has just announced that it will be offering its 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged, EcoBoost V6 in the Explorer Police Interceptor. The new engine will be joining the existing 3.7-liter V6. The 365-horsepower, 350-pound-foot mill should be familiar to consumers as the powerplant that's found in the Ford Taurus SHO (and its LEO equivalent, the Taurus Police Interceptor) and the Ford Explorer Sport. It should also provide quite a kick in the pants to officers used to the naturally aspirated 3.7 and its 304 ponies and 279 pound-feet of torque.
The move to the more potent powerplant was born out of all the equipment officers need to carry on a day-to-day basis. These days, there's so much stuff that police need on a regular basis, that there's a genuine market for a faster Police Interceptor Utility, as it's known officially. The Explorer-based cruiser has already accounted for 68 percent of Ford's LEO sales in 2013, and that's with just the 3.7, and we'd only expect that number to increase once the twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 is available. Ford won't offer up any indication of what the take rate will be on the new engine, but we're guessing it'll be fairly high.
The success of the Explorer PI couldn't have come at a better time for Ford. The decision to end Crown Victoria production was not a popular one with police, and combined with Chevrolet and Dodge diving into the LEO market feet first, Ford hasn't been performing as well as it's wanted to. The Explorer has been helping it turn around, though. And with the inclusion of the EcoBoost, Ford also has a legit competitor for the Chevrolet Tahoe on the big utility side of the police market.
