Morton, Illinois, United States
1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback This
is a very nice looking 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback. The car has a 1969 Ford 429 4V Big Block Thunderjet Motor
mounted to a rebuilt C6 tranmission with a stage 3 shift kit built for high
performance. The Galaxie 500XL models were slightly different from the
Galaxie 500 models. The XL stood for "eXtra Luxury"that included
luxurious interior trim, console, and bucket seats for that "racing
feel". The 1969 Ford 429 4V Thunderjet Engine w/ factory 360+ horsepower - Low mileage motor that was rebuilt about 3000 miles ago - Has stock 1969 429 crank, camshaft, valvesprings, and pistons - It has the C9VE High Compression heads with Felpro 1018 head gaskets -

Engine and the Transmission function perfectly with no leaks. The car
drives well and has manual steering and manual brakes with 4 wheel
drums. The trim looks good, the bumpers are original and look
acceptable, and single outlet chrome lake pipes were added to the
vehicle. The frame is straight and in good condition. The body does have
some filler in the lower quarter panels, the floors are solid, and the
trunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new set
of 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BF
Goodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory
3.25 gear. There
is a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Amp
alternator, dual 40 series Flowmaster exhaust, master cylinder, wiring, radio, carpet,
sound deadener on the floor, door panels, door switchs, dash bezels,
and a hood latch emblem. The car needs a 4 terminal single speed wiper
switch and a right AIR vent cable. All the dome and door lights work, and all the instrument lights light up like a Christmas tree at night. The fuel gauge works, the cooling gauge was disabled and switched over to a more accurate gauge, the oil pressure indicator light was switched over to a manual gauge, and a volt meter was added. The cooling system has a 160 thermostat, that holds near that temperature even on the hottest summer days. This is car is ready to drive and cruise! Its been garaged for the past 11 years I've owned it, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I have taken it to smaller local car shows, and it always stands out from the other cars. I enjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun, but unfortunately I have to sell this car. If there are any questions, feel free to ask. |

Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
Project Ugly Horse alive and kicking at Road & Track
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The hallways of the Autoblog campus are much quieter now that Zach Bowman has taken his prose, along with his welders, wrenches and hammers, over to the digital pages of Road & Track, but that doesn't mean our favorite project Mustang is gone forever. Project Ugly Horse is still coming along, and Zach has gifted us another update on his unfoxy Fox Body.
Last we saw of the Ugly Horse, Zach was strengthening up the '89 Mustang's chassis as he prepares to stuff the turbocharged, direct-injected EcoBoost engine of a Ford Focus ST under the hood. First things first, the old mill must go. Head on over to Road & Track to catch the latest chapter of Project Ugly Horse.
2015 Ford Mustang gets pricing, configurator and less weight than expected
Fri, 13 Jun 2014It's here; it's finally here. No more speculating or looking at dealer order guides, the configurator for the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally online. That means you should put down whatever you're doing and build your new 'Stang. Weight data for the new model has also leaked out, and while there is an increase, it's less than previously rumored.
The basic V6 coupe carries a base price of $23,600, plus an additional $825 destination charge for all models. Upgrading to the 2.3-liter Ecoboost costs $25,170, and the Ecoboost Premium is $29,170. If you need a V8 in your life, the Mustang GT is $32,100 or $36,100 with the Premium package. That puts the starting price up about $1,000 over the previous generation for the V6, but the turbocharged four-cylinder starts about $1,400 less than the V6 Premium, which is no longer available. Prices for both V8 models jumped about $1,000, as well.
If you need the convertible Mustang, the V6 starts at $29,100, excluding destination, $1,590 more than last year. The Ecoboost Premium 'vert is $34,670, and the GT droptop is $41,600.
