WOW! Just out of dry storage for over 30 years is this cool 1963 Ford Galaxie Country Squire five passenger woody wagon with a big block 390!. This is a two owner car that has been in the same family since it was purchased off the original owner in 1964! A true survivor!

Here is a cool story about this car. The story goes as told to me by the current owners. In 1962 a local business man of the Hazleton Pennsylvania area that had a fleet of trucks went into the local Ford dealership named Montone Ford of Hazleton PA. where he bought all of his business vehicles, and wanted to order a new family truckster. He stated he wanted a big block, bucket seats, and the automatic on the floor. The dealer told him that interior was not an available option in a wagon. Well, the man was not happy, and told the dealer that if he could not get it the way he wanted it, he would switch brands, He said, "I'll and go down to the Chevy dealer, and order my new car, then I'll buy all my new trucks there also". Well, as the story goes, the dealer had a lot of pull, and powerful allocation with Ford at the time! A few days later the car was ordered for the man, and he received it in the spring of 1963. Could this be the first five passenger XL wagon? It is possible with the early production date of march. No one knows for sure, but that is what was told to the current owners that bought it in 1964. I just thought I would re-tell that cool story.

There were only 19,922 six passenger wagons built to begin with, and this wagon is one of 437 built as a five passenger with the rare 71-G option code known as the XL interior option with bucket seats, and floor shift with console. There is only 43,180 documented miles on this car! This is not a restored car! It is just that nice!

Quite a bit of work has just been done to the wagon after sitting for 30 years. The fuel tank was cleaned and coated inside. The brakes were gone through from front to back with new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, and a new power booster. The engine received a tune up, new belts, hoses, fluids, new water pump, fuel pump and rebuilt power steering pump. The tires have been replaced with radials that are in good condition.

The numbers matching FE 390 4 barrel (Z code) engine runs excellent.

The correct 3spd. Cruise-O-Matic transmission shifts great and is leak free.

The 9 inch ford 3.00-1 rear is correct and quiet.

The Corinthian White paint is in nice shape with some small chips and some touch ups. I do not know if all the paint is original but the owner never recalls any paintwork. The paint still shows well for it's age. The wood grain is nice with some signs of sun fading on the rear tailgate. There is some light checking in the foe wood, but it is hard to see.

The Chrome on the bumpers and all the stainless trim are exceptional nice for being over 50 years old, and yes, it is all the original. Again, this is not a restored car.

The light blue crush vinyl interior is all original and in very good condition except for one small spot on the drivers seat where the seat frame rubbed against. ( see picture) The headliner, dash, door panels, trim, console and even the carpet are in very good condition for being the original!

The undercarriage is in excellent unrestored condition. Never any rust or work done on the floors or frame. The dual exhaust is quiet and in good shape.

Everything works as it should, even the rear electric window. The only thing that I saw that does not work is the tachometer mounted on the console. The 8 track player is aftermarket, as are the rear speakers.

Here is the information from the trim tag and VIN if you can not make it out in the picture.

V.I.N. is 3E76Z213830

Trim Tag

Body color Trim DSO Date Axle Trans

71 G M 82 15 10E 1 4

This car runs and drives very well and needs nothing. Put your surf boards in it and go to the beach in classic style!

Please take a good look at the pictures and don't be afraid to call or email for any further info, pictures or to check out this cool time capsule. Please call Jim @ 570-956-6342 ...SORRY, NO TEXT!

THE OWNERS AND I WILL DO OUR BEST TO HELP WITH SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! Thanks, and have a great day!

Jurassic Park made a big impact on these Jeep drivers

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

For a certain cohort of young folks, Jurassic Park is a touchstone film from their childhood. Not only did it play into practically every little boy's love of dinosaurs, the movie included some great action scenes and special effects that still hold up today. In its latest video, The Aficionauto takes a look the Jurassic Park Motor Pool, a California car club with over 40 fans who created replica vehicles from the iconic film.
The club is made up of an interesting cross-section of people. Many of them were Jeep Wrangler fans that already loved off-roading and Jurassic Park, and liked the idea of bringing them together. Like any close-knit club, it ends up being about community and people coming together to share their interests. It's quite a heartwarming video. Also, be sure to stay until the end because The Aficionauto teases a future Jurassic Park-themed vehicle. Scroll down to check out the motor pool.

New Ford Police Interceptor tech protects cops' backsides

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

It was only a matter of time before law enforcement agencies would realize the potential of driver-assist technology for use in their Ford Police Interceptors, and, now that they have, those back-up cameras and radar systems won't be used just for parking, but for security, as well.
The surveillance mode system works when the camera or radar detects movement from behind the vehicle, and if it does when it's activated, an alarm will alert the officer inside the car, the driver's side window will roll up and the doors will lock, protecting the officer from an unwanted intrusion. The officer, of course, has the option to turn surveillance mode off, mainly in urban areas where pedestrians would constantly set the alarm off, and it can only be activated when the police car is in park.
Randy Freiburger, Ford's police and ambulance fleet supervisor, came up with the patent-pending idea when researching the needs of police officers and riding along with them, during which time he realized officers would be safer with an extra set of eyes watching the area behind their cars, especially at night or when they're completing paperwork, using the in-car computer or handling a radar gun. "Unfortunately, there are people with bad intentions who sneak up on police officers," he says.

Ford evaluating new Fiesta RS?

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Word coming in from across the pond has it that Ford is working on developing the business case to create a new Fiesta RS. The development is encouraged by the extremely positive reception the existing Fiesta ST has garnered to date, and the emergence of the above-pictured Fiesta RS WRC rally car, but it'll take more than goodwill to make a more extreme version a reality.
According to Auto Express, a new roadgoing Fiesta RS would almost certainly be based closely on the ST version, albeit with some vital differences. Its 1.6-liter turbo four would be increased from 180 horsepower to somewhere around 230 hp, and that powertrain would be accompanied by lightweight alloys inside blistered wheel arches, a stripped-out interior and possibly lightweight bodywork.
The vehicle's approval would reportedly require a strong business case in Europe, and not just in the UK where Ford hot hatches traditionally enjoy a strong following. It's unclear whether the Fiesta RS would potentially make the transatlantic voyage to American showrooms, but between it and the larger Focus RS, hopefully the Blue Oval wouldn't leave its home market out of the action altogether.
