1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Xl 6.4l (390)-4 Speed T-10 Borg Warner on 2040-cars

1962 FORD GALAXIE 500 XL CLASSIC CAR/LOWRIDER-AIR RIDE/HOT ROD/SHOW CAR

VIDEO LINK BELOW TO YOU TUBE:

The INTERIOR of this 62 was completed with a Burgundy on Black color coordination that added great comfort and a show quality finish to the interior. The 500XL stitching on the back of the seats ads that extra quality and design to the interior. The entire floor and roof of the car has been layered with Dynamat. This has greatly reduced road noise and improved the quality of the sound system that has been added to the car. When the new headliner was installed I added a new Windshield, and added all new gaskets to every part of the car.

Shortly after the interior completion the dash color was modified by removing the factory dash pad and sprayed with a two stage Ford color-Dark Cherry Metallic paint made by DIAMONT to match the interior. It was chosen to enhance the look of this new interior. Some new dash bezels were added as well as temperature and oil sending gauges for highly accurate readings. The interior was finished off with a great sound system customized just for this car. THIS IS A SMOKE FREE CLASSIC CAR!

The SOUND:

1-JVC -50W X4 Mofset Apple/ipod/Satellite Radio-Ready in Dash CD/DVD Deck-Model: KWAV70BT

2-JBL 4”X6” 2 way Car speakers with plus one HCL Woofer cones Model: JBLP6462

1-Infinity Kappa One 1600W Class D Digital Mono Amplifier

2-Infinity Kappa One 10” Subwoofers 100.9W-2 ohms-mounted in the trunk in a specially designed box.

2-Pioneer 6X9 rear speakers

2-4” SCOSCHE speakers mounted in specially designed kick panels by Rhino Fabrication.

1 Alpine 4 Channel KTP-445U Power Pack Universal Amp.

No holes were cut inside this car for any of the customization that was done in the interior. All of the original metal panels remain intact as it was when the vehicle was made in 1962. All of the chrome trim, original radio, dash bezels and console pieces remain intact. The interior is of showroom quality. The interior dash bulbs were upgraded to a brighter more luminescent bulb that really shows the instrument panel when night driving. The STEERING WHEEL has been covered with a special order Leather Wheel Skin cover made by: WheelSkins.com

The ENGINE of this car was completely rebuilt by a professional and completed June 2013. It is the original Ford 390 big block with some upgrades as listed:

TO LIST A FEW:

MSD Ignition System/Summit Racing

.533 Lift/Exh. Comp Camshaft/Summit Racing

Comp Roller Rockers/Jegs High Performance

Bored .30 with High Comp. Pistons/Rings/Bearings

New Chrome 7” Brake Booster

Edelbrock High Rise Aluminum Valve Covers

Edelbrock Chrome Breather

16” electric pusher fan

Chrome Oil Pan

120 gph Holley Fuel Pump… and many extras…

This ENGINE is completely awesome, runs and performs with EXCELLENCE! There are 600 miles on the engine since it was recently completed-2013. The car is garage kept and occasionally driven to local car shows and has never been in rain since painted.

THE TRANSMISSION of this car came with a Ford Cruise O Matic transmission but replaced with a 4 SPEED T-10 Borg Warner that was rebuilt and installed in this car 1 month ago. This T-10 has WIDE Gear Ratios which are: 1^st.-2.64/2^nd.-1.75/ 3^rd.-1.62/ 4^th.-1.00. Instead of installing the original shifter I upgraded to a HURST Comp Plus 4 speed shifter. I located the original 4 speed 500 XL Center console plate and has been re-chromed! Inside the ribs located in the chrome center console need to be painted so the small pits can be covered.

The WHEELS are New 17” Cragar Series 390C Chrome Street Pro 2-piece composite wheel with traditional hot rod styling. These Cragar wheels are mounted on TOYO PROXES 4 P245/45ZR/17 Tires.

The BRAKES are drum on all 4 wheels. They have been turned and have been completely equipped with new cylinders and pads. The original booster was replaced with a new 7” chrome booster to allow clearance for the high valve covers. The brakes are 4 wheel drum brakes and stopping power is excellent.

The UNDERCARRIAGE of the car has been stripped clean repainted and is free of grease and dirt. Liquid Dynamat undercoating has been applied from front to rear of the car. The rear end is the original Ford 9”-3:00:1 ratio and the EXHUAST recently completed with 2-1/2” pipe that holds 2 Flowmaster 10 mufflers. The Flowmaster 10’s give it an awesome sound with a deep tone.  

THE SUSPENSION is NEW and has been completely upgraded with Air Ride Technologies Level 2 Air Ride system. “The LEVEL 2 system provides more tuning with the addition of a Shockwave® front kit and the enhanced RideProe3™ control system. The front Shockwave® system is a simple bolt-on install. The single shock and air spring unit provides a cleaner appearance and offers adjustable shock valving to aid in tuning. A Ridetech 4-Link will position the rear more precisely and eliminate the flexing and instability of the leaf spring rear. The 5 gallon RidePro®e3 system provides 4 way digital control. It allows 3 system air pressure presets to provide accurate adjustments with the touch of just one button.” I ordered this system with 2 remotes that allow the system to be adjusted with a touch of a button. It rides like a new car and handles far better than you could ever get with the factory suspension.

The TRUNK has been customized and carpeted. Panels have been custom fit and covered to give it a great look as well as a great sound barrier. Dynamat also covers the floor of the trunk and the inner fender wells to reduce noise and improve sound quality. Also, covered panels have been cut to custom fit the inner trunk lid for an added barrier.

The EXTERIOR is a Ford color that was used on later model Ford vehicles. Dark Cherry Metallic was chosen early on for this project. One coat of sealer primer rests underneath 2 coats of Dark Cherry Metallic paint and 3 coats of Southern Polyurethane clear/ cut and buffed to a mirror finish. The exterior chrome was removed to give the car a more LOWRIDER feel and streamline effect. This is after all, a MODIFIED street rod not to be mistaken for an all ORIGINAL car. The FRONT BUMPER has been completely restored and triple chromed by Tri-City Plating in Elizabethton, TN. The rear bumper is driver quality but needs to be re-chromed. The headlight bezels were repaired and re-chromed by Atlantic Coast Plating in Athens, TN and 4 Chrome (Ford) Headlight protective rings were added for a greater appeal. The car could be cut and buffed once again if the buyer chooses to get an even better shine out of the paint. To get a deeper more illustrious gloss the car can be re-cleared up to 8+ more times. The clear coat is Southern Polyurethane 4000-1. 1:1 ratio.
