TONIGHT I AM OFFERING FOR THE 1ST TIME MY 1963 & 1/2 FORD GALAXIE FAST BACK 2 DOOR HARDTOP. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A LIL OVER 1 YEAR. I WAS FIXING IT UP FOR MY SON, WHO JUST GOT HIS LISCENSE. AS TIME WHEN ON I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GIVE HIM THIS CAR. AS A PARENT I THINK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WITH THIS KIND OF POWER & HIM BEING A NEW DRIVER AT 16 YEARS OLD THIS HAS MADE MY DECISION FOR HIM NOT TO HAVE THIS AUTOMOBILE. THIS CAR RUNS & WILL YARD DRIVE. THE CAR HAS NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR. THIS FORD HAS BEEN OFF THE ROAD & IN STORAGE SINCE JULY 8TH OF 1981. I DO HAVE THE TITLE FOR THIS CAR BUT IT WAS FILLED OUT ON THIS DATE & IN SOME TIME THE WINDSHEILD HAD CRACKED. IT WAS PUT AWAY IN THE GARAGE AND NEVER FIXED. AND THE CAR WAS NEVER REGISTERED. THE MILEAGE READS 47,506. IT HAS NO MILEAGE ON THE TITLE THEREFORE I CANNOT VERIFY IF THIS IS THE TRUE MILEAGE OR NOT. I HAVE PUT A CARTER 4 BARREL CARBURETOR ON THIS, IT IS A 4 BARREL CARBURETOR WITH ELECTRIC CHOKE. THE ELECTRIC CHOKE IS NOT HOOKED UP. THE CAR CAME WITH A FACTORY AUTOLITE CARBURETOR 4 BAL WHICH COULD NOT BE REBUILT THIS IS WHY I WENT WITH THE CARTER. OTHER THAN THE CARBURETOR EVERYTHING ON THIS AUTOMOBILE IS FACTORY STOCK MATCHING #'S. THE CAR WAS ORDERED 3 SPEED MANUAL SHIFT 3 ON THE TREE, IT WAS ALSO ORDER WITH FACTORY POWER STEERING. AND FACTORY OVERDRIVE. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE COMPLETELY GONE THROUGH. I HAVE REMOVED THE BRAKE SHOES & SPRINGS AS THEY WERE FROZE FROM ALL THESE YEARS SITTING. THE RIGHT REAR SHOES , SPRINGS ARE STILL ON IT. THE BOX YOU SEE IN THE PIC'S IS ALL THE PARTS FOR THE BRAKES I REMOVED. ALL THE SHOES ARE INCLUDED ALSO. YOU WILL ALSO SEE THE AIR BREATHER & 1 EXTRA HUB CAP. THE GENERATOR LIGHT STAYS ON, THE GENERATOR NEEDS TO BE REBUILT WITH NEW BRUSHES. NEXT : I HAVE REPLACED THE STARTER WITH A REBUILT, THE OLD STARTER COMES WITH THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO PUT ALL NEW PLUGS IN IT, THE CAP ROTOR, POINT & CONDENSER WERE STILL GOOD SO I DID NOT REPLACE THEM. THE SPARK PLUG WIRES WERE OLD & BRITTLE SO I REPLACED THEM WITH SOME OLD ONES I HAD. BEFORE I HAD ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS OLD GIRL RUNNING AGAIN, I FILLED EVERY CYLINDER WITH MARVIN'S MYSTERY OIL & LET IT SOAK. THE OIL IS STILL IN THE MOTOR TO THIS DAY. THE 390 MOTOR RUNS GOOD, NO ROD RAPS OR LIFTER NOISE. IT HAS 1 STICKY EXAUST VALVE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE RIGHT BANK. I DID NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE & HAVE THE VALVE COME DOWN & HIT THE PISTON, I HAVE THE PUSH ROD FOR IT. THE VALVE IS STUCK ON THE OPEN POSITION JUST RIGHT, SO YOU WOULD ALMOST NEVER KNOW IT, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES IN ALL GEARS 1ST, 2ND, 3RD, & REVERSE, THE CAR GOES ON ITS OWN POWER. I HAVE ALSO PUT A FAIRLY NEW BATTERY IN THIS, AND A STARTER CYLINOID, AND VALVE COVER GASKETS. THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, THEY ARE BIAS WHITE WALL TIRES. ALL THE SPOTS YOU SEE ON THE BODY WERE DONE MANY YEARS AGO & WERE THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. LOOK AT THE PIC'S CLOSELY, THERE IS SOME ROT ON THE FLOOR PANS. THE GAS TANK IS JUNK. THE GAS CAN WILL GO WITH THE CAR. THE RAIL AROUND THE TRIM MOLDING FOR THE TRUNK NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE BRACE ACROSS THAT HOLDS THE GAS TANK WHICH IS NOTORIOUS FOR THESE FORDS IS ROTTED. THERE ARE 2 SPOTS JUST BEHIND THE TAIL LIGHTS INSIDE THE TRUNK. I HAVE THE OTHER ROCKER MOLDING BUT THE CLIPS ARE MISSING. ALL THE WINDOWS ROLL UP & DOWN NICELY. THE ROCKERS ARE SOLID, INNER & OUTTER. THE DOORS OPEN WITH EASE & CLOSE NICELY. I HAVE THE TRUNK LOCK BUT NO KEY FOR IT. THE CAR STILL HAS AN ORIGINAL EXHAUSE ON IT WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED RIGHT DOWN TO THE RESINATERS. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME TO MY HOME & INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE YOU BID. BIDDERS WITH LESS THAN 100 FEED BACKS, ARE TO CALL ME BEFORE YOU BID WITH ALL YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION. I WANT THIS TO GO AS SMOOTH AS POSSIBLE FOR BUYER & SELLER. PLEASE ASK ANY & ALL QUESTIONS.

Detroit 3 and UAW set for showdown over tiered wages
Mon, Mar 23 2015This week, thousands of United Auto Workers will converge on Cobo Center in Detroit for the Special Convention on Collective Bargaining, an every-four-year event that lets members tell UAW leaders what the negotiating priorities should be during contract negotiations. This is where a lot of sand and a lot of lines start coming together in preparation for contract negotiations between the UAW and the Detroit 3 automakers, which will happen later this year. Number one on the UAW agenda is the end of the two-tier wage system created in 2007 to help the automakers get through bankruptcy; veteran workers are paid the Tier 1 rate of around $29.00 per hour, new hires are paid the Tier 2 rate of between $15 and $20 and get about half the benefits of Tier 1. Tier 2 hiring has been an undoubted success for the automakers, allowing them to keep factories in the US and hire more workers. By agreement, it is capped at a certain percentage of each automaker's workforce, and while the union's ultimate position is to get rid of the dual-scale system entirely; one leader said Ford could easily afford the $335 million it would take to convert all its workers to Tier 1 out of its $6.9 billion in 2014 North American profit, and General Motors could do the same out of the $5 billion it is handing to investors through the (admittedly forced) share buyback. Other delegates say that at the very least they'd be happy with enforcement of the current caps in the new contract. The automakers, conversely, would welcome expansion of the Tier 2 ranks. Including benefits, import automakers pay workers "in the high $40 range" per hour, according to an analyst, while Ford and GM pay about $59 in wages and benefits per hour. More Tier 2 workers on the rolls would let those two companies get labor cost parity with the competition. Fiat-Chrysler pays wages closer to the imports because of special exceptions in its UAW contract that allow unlimited Tier 2 hiring; those exceptions will end on September 14 and bring FCA into line with the other domestics, unless the new contract maintains them. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne is opposed to the two-tier system, having called it "almost offensive." One analyst says the UAW might win a sizable pay raise for Tier 2 and a small increase for Tier 1, but the keystone issue will be how the hiring matrix can help the automakers keep overall wages in line with the imports.
Facelifted Ford Focus caught testing in the cold
Wed, 18 Dec 2013It's that time in the life of the Ford Focus to get a little work done - a nip-tuck here, some Botox there. Yes, Ford is testing a facelifted version of its global C-segment entry, which first hit markets in Europe and North America in May 2011.
Like the touchup on the Fiesta, expect Ford's gaping grille to make its first appearance on the Focus. Our spy photographers point out that this is likely to be a more comprehensive makeover than previous spy shots suggested, based on the additional camouflage seen here on the front and rear ends of this five-door model. New head and taillights are also likely in order, as are changes to the front and rear fascia.
The interior was also snapped and features a cleaner design with a larger central display. Other than that, it looks like some buttons have been changed, making us think most of the Focus' updates are limited to the exterior.
2015 Ford Mustang specs revealed, GT to pack 435 HP
Thu, 17 Jul 2014The 2015 Ford Mustang sounds great so far - at least on paper. Ford has just announced specs for the latest version of the iconic pony car in Dearborn, telling Autoblog that it will pump out as much as 435 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque from its 5.0-liter V8.
Those gaudy figures power the naturally aspirated GT model, and they easily eclipse the "more than" 420 hp and 390 lb-ft that Ford originally estimated.
The 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 310 hp and 320 lb-ft, and it's the first turbo Mustang since the 1986 SVO.
