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 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.

Find out if the Ford Fiesta ST can match Europe's latest hot hatches

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

The V8 grunt of the Mustang has defined Ford performance cars in the US for the last 50 years, but in Europe, the Blue Oval has nearly as a long history of building some of the best hot hatches on the market with the Fiesta, Escort and later the Focus. The latest Fiesta ST has just hit the roads on both sides of the pond and has been enthusiastically received thanks to its combination of a peppy, turbocharged engine and hatchback utility.
However, Europe is getting a bumper crop of hot hatches at the moment, including the forthcoming, third-generation Mini Cooper S. Should Ford have waited to launch the ST until it knew how the competition performed? That's the answer that Xcar is after in its latest video, and it took the Fiesta to the track and some very misty, Welsh roads to find out. Scroll down to find out whether the ST stacks up.

Ford Mustang hit by Moore' Oklahoma's EF5 tornado lives to do another burnout

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Oklahoma recently saw the destructive power of an EF5 tornado, but in the aftermath of the devastation, we've also been witness to the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Moore, OK resident Jack Haden survived the storm but found that his 2003 Ford Mustang wasn't quite as lucky. As you can see in the image above, the tornado's 200+ mph winds did quite a number on the car, but while most people would have likely called their insurance company and scrapped the car, Haden had other plans.
After finding the car and seeing that its V6 still fired up, Haden spent a couple hours getting the car, um... roadworthy(?)... by removing the doors and front clip, cutting off the roof and putting on some new wheels and tires. He noticed that driving it around brought some comic relief to an area that needed a reason to laugh and smile. Check out the KSBI TV news report video below showing before and after pictures of the tough 'Stang, as well as a video showing the newly lightweight coupe doing a smoky burnout.

Forza Horizon 3 adds Ford Police Interceptor, Jeep CJ5

Tue, Oct 4 2016

We're only a few weeks past the debut of Forza Horizon 3, and already the folks at Turn 10 are introducing the first of six car packs for the open-world driving game. Focused heavily on performance, there are still a few, um, oddballs, including one we're sure Forza's livery customizers will have a blast with. The Smoking Tire Car Pack brings seven new vehicles to FH3, with the Aston Martin Vulcan, Pagani Huayra BC, GTA Spano, Lotus 340R, and BMW M2 repping traditional performance vehicles. As per usual, FH3 renders each car beautifully and promises a solid approximation of real-world performance – even if you do ditch the roads and opt to rampage through the Australian countryside. While performance is good, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Jeep CJ5 Renegade bring an off-beat vibe to this particular pack. We aren't certain, but this might be the first time the Police Interceptor appears in a blockbuster driving game. While we expect plenty of police car liveries for the Crown Vic, Forza's rabid community of tuners and customizers are sure to do much more with it. As for the CJ5, is there a better vehicle for tooling about Australia? Yeah, we didn't think so. The Smoking Tire Car Pack is available for free as part of the Forza Horizon 3 Ultimate Edition or Car Pass program. Commitment-phobes can also download this single vehicle pack for $7.
