1963 Ford Galaxie with numbers matching 289 V8
I bought this car a few months ago with the intention to make it into a nice driver, but got a new job that leaves me little extra time to work on the car.
Here's the good stuff:
-Engine runs. Starts up right away. Numbers matching, appears to never have been bored out. Compression on all cylinders is 120 psi +/- 3. No leaks.
-New brake lines to rear wheels, installed last month.
-New slave cylinder on rear wheel, installed last month.
-Comes with all exterior moldings, emblems, etc.
-3-point Seat belts installed.
-All exterior lights work.
-Split bench from late-model Town Car installed.
-New battery with new wiring to body and generator.
-New filters, with extra oil filter included.
-Tires are in great shape.
And the other stuff:
-Haven't driven it much, so not sure how reliable the car is beyond a few miles. Bring a trailer.
-Gauge lights work intermittently.
-Original seat frames need recovering.
-No headliner or carpet.
-Trunk floor has some holes, needs patching.
-No radio included.
This Galaxie needs a few days worth of work, and will be an excellent cruiser to the local car shows. I really don't want to sell it, but this is second project car, and don't have time to commit to it. Have a clear title in my name. Feel free to ask questions if I haven't been clear. Thanks, and good luck.

RTR Spec 5 Concept shows off 2015 Ford Mustang's drifty potential
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Meet the Ford Mustang RTR Spec 5 Concept, a fully functional drift car that, according to our team in Sin City, has been doling out demo drifts in front of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Destined to be the flagship of RTR's Tactical Performance Line, the Spec 5 Concept is, in addition to its 5.0-liter Aluminator V8 engine, chock full of performance parts that you can buy for your very own 2015 Mustang. In addition to the Ford Racing engine, the OEM parts supplier has lent the Spec 5 an aluminum radiator and a close-ratio six-speed transmission.
ASD Motorsports provided the front lower control arms, while the car itself rides on a fully customized coilover suspension. Magnaflow and American Racing have provided the exhaust system and headers, respectively. 20-inch HRE wheels, designed for RTR, are wrapped in sticky Nitto rubber.
Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
