Darlington, Indiana, United States
1963 1/2 Galaxie 500
Up for auction is a nice mostly original 1963 Galaxie 500 Fastback. The car retains its original C-code 289 that has been upgraded with an original Ford cast iron 4V intake and a Holley 4V carb, automatic transmission, and power steering. The engine has received a recent tune up. It also received a small dress up kit with Cobra valve covers and a chrome air breather. The power steering works but has a slow leak. It has glass pack dual exhaust. A brand new set of eagle ”torque thrust” style wheels were mounted on with tires that has great tread. The front wheels are 15x7 and the rears 15x8. All of the windows roll up and down properly. The windshield does have a light scratch where the wiper has rubbed it. The body is in very good shape for the year. It appears to have had one repaint of the original color. There are a few small places that are starting to bubble up but no rust through. Paint is average, a great daily driver but no show winner. The frame and floors are free of rust or rot. This is an exceptionally solid car for the year. The interior is all original from the headliner to the carpet. All of the lights work, headlights low and high beam, turn signals, brake lights etc. The temp gauge, windshield wipers, and the speedometer are also in working order. The blower motor, original AM radio, and fuel gauge are not working at this time. As far as running condition, it starts and runs great. The dual exhaust has a great vintage sound, the steering is tight and the brakes work well. This car will make a great daily driver or weekend cruise in car show candidate. Drive and enjoy it this summer. Please give me a call with any question. 765-376-3486 Thanks and Happy Bidding!!! |

Ford reflects on radical Mustang concept that never reached showrooms
Tue, 25 Jun 2013The Ford Mustang that we all know and love made major waves in the auto industry way back in 1964 by offering style and reasonable pricing with optional V8 power. Its long hood and short rear deck, combined with a low-slung and sporty cockpit, made a lasting impression in the minds of consumers and car designers alike, and its basic shape has so endured the test of time that it's still in use today.
This being the case, you may be interested to know that the first Mustang of 1964.5 wasn't actually the first Mustang at all, being preceded by a concept car that made its public debut in 1962. This concept was nothing like the car that would eventually make it into production, with a radical wedge shape and a small V4 engine sitting behind the car's two occupants, driving the rear wheels. In other words, the conceptual Mustang was pretty much the complete opposite of the production Mustang besides the name.
Ford has kindly decided go through its massive archive to bring the original Mustang concept back into the public eye. The company goes so far as to pose this question to fans of the pony car: "Should we borrow a few of these style elements for the next iteration of the Mustang?" Check out our image gallery above and then let 'em know what you think in the Comments below.
Ford acquires Livio to bolster connectivity biz
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Ford Motor Company has announced the acquisition of Livio, a Ferndale, MI-based software development company best known for aftermarket in-car connectivity devices, but also as a supplier of technology for proprietary systems for automakers. Livio, co-founded by Sigal and Massimo Baldini, will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Global Technologies.
"With the additional expertise Livio provides us, Ford intends to continue to lead the next generation of in-car connectivity with technology advancements that give consumers more options to access their devices on the go," said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford Research and Innovation, in a statement.
Ford is clearly trying to beef up its in-house tech capability around telematics and device connectivity. While the Blue Oval has been a leader in these areas with SYNC and MyFord Touch in terms of getting the systems into as many cars as possible, the execution of the applications have been criticized for glitches.
