1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL


The Ford Galaxie is a full size car that was offered by Ford from 1959 through 1974.  The name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from 1959 until 1961 with an emphasis on the appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space race.


This Glacier Blue 2 door sedan Galaxie 500 XL gives you all the styling of yesteryear with the conveniences of ice cold air conditioning, power brakes and power steering.   This car only has one repaint and an amazingly authentic engine compartment housing a 390 V8 powerhouse, bucket seats and center console.  Equipped the way a collector car should be.


The1963 Galaxie 500 XL gives you all the styling cues back when manufacturing cars was about style and character....from the taillights to the grill this Galaxie shouts Space Age.


Ford introduced a group of sporty cars along with its now-famous "Lively Ones" campaign. These models featured the bucket seats and console. The full-size line got a new bucket-seats-and-console known as the "Lively One,".


This 500XL is like it stepped out from a time machine.  It is finished in a pleasing light blue with a classic blue interior.  This example has been extremely well cared for and is ready to drive now, cruise to a car show or use as a daily driver.  The car really is as nice at the photographs show and really isn't anything to note that you will need to repair or do as she is ready to go.  Although, not a frame off restoration or a $100,000 show car but still no excuses need to be made when you pull up at a car show!... She does has a quality paint job and is extremely straight, has great brightwork and interior pieces.  Really a car worth adding to your collection. This car shows very original and very clean and will not disappoint in it looks or drivability.....Again fully equipped with ice cold AC, power steering and power brakes. 


Why not stand out from the crowd with this 390 powered V8 500 XL that gives you the best of stylish body cues, power and nostalgia at a fraction of the price of many 60’s cars of the years.  Take a moment and review the photographs and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions at 818-398-1829.

Ford to revisit CVTs?

Thu, Dec 11 2014

Today, Ford wishes its first experience with non-hybrid continuously variable transmissions was far behind it. The Blue Oval was awash in complaints and a couple of class-action lawsuits over the CVTs used in its 2005-2007 Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego models, which were a manufactured in Batavia, Ohio as part of a joint venture with ZF. The company gave up on the CVT after just two years, but with fuel economy standards pressing automakers to conjure new tricks, Ford's global product development head, Raj Nair, is now saying the transmissions might make a return, "particularly in the low torque applications," says Automotive News. An obvious candidate for CVT consideration is the 1.0-liter Fiesta that can presently only be had with a five-speed manual. Beyond that, the company's 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines might fit the bill. Ford hasn't given any indication as to what vehicles it might use to reintroduce the CVT to the US market, or hints about timeline or who would develop it, however. Some CVT trivia: The 1990 Subaru Justy II was the first US passenger car offered with a continuously variable transmission - Subaru called it the ECVT. It handled gearing duties for a 1.2-liter, inline three-cylinder engine that got all of 70 horsepower. A contemporary blurb about the car begins with "Goodness, gracious, great gobs of gimmickry," and goes on to say that "We can't imagine where you would take this car for repairs, but we are certain that the one mechanic in the world who can fix it lives in a very expensive house." The transmission didn't win any fans, but the ECVT and the car have been largely forgotten, while Subaru played the long game and now you'll find its vastly improved Lineartronic CVT on six of the eight models it sells.

Ford builds one-off 50th anniversary Mustang Convertible for charity

Thu, 08 May 2014

At the New York Auto Show this year, Ford revealed a special-edition Mustang to honor the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary. Only 1,964 highly symbolic examples will be made, all of them fixed-roof coupes. But the Blue Oval automaker has just announced that it's also building a single 50 Years edition convertible that it will raffled off for charity.
The first production example of the new Mustang Convertible to roll off the line this fall, this one-off will pack many of the features on the 50 Years coupe, including its white paintjob, chrome trim, aluminum dashboard, two-tone upholstery, contrast stitching, special 19-inch wheels and special-edition badging throughout.
This unique cabrio will also be fitted with a special performance pack including Pirelli PZero rubber, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential to help get the 420 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque from the 5.0-liter V8 through the six-speed manual transmission and down to the road. It'll also feature a serial plaque with the number 0001 of 0001 and chairman Bill Ford's signature.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
