For Sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 2Dr. It has a clear Michigan Title. I don't know it's history, but understand it was a barn-find in Virginia. The vehicle has a 352 CID V8 that was bored-out sometime in the past to a 390 CID. In the past year it has received the following parts: new convertible top, new piston rings and push rods, new timing chain and sprockets, new gaskets, new fuel pump, new starter, new generator and voltage regulator, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt transmission, tune-up including points/plugs/condenser/rotor and cap, rebuilt carburetor, new u-joints, new thermostat, rebuilt shifting linkage, rebuilt brake master and wheel cylinders, used exhaust manifolds, new fluids, and front and rear spring stiffeners. The body has an older restoration - the paint shines up nicely but does have a few imperfections. The convertible top is brand new, and operates with power. There is a little rust-through on one rocker panel. The interior is original, and in good condition for its age. There are no tears or holes in the seats, and all of the glass is in great shape and the windows operate well. The tires have great tread, however, there are some signs of cracking in the sidewalls. The car runs well, shifts great, and the older dual exhaust sounds good. The speedometer and odometer work. The odometer reads 61,000+ miles, but I don't know how accurate that is. Wipers, heater and lights work also. This is a used car with no warranties. It is sold in an as-is condition. I've tried to list everything I can - don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. $500 deposit due within 48 hours of close of auction, balance due in Cash, PayPal or Certified Check within 10 days. Buyer responsible for shipping. |

MotorWeek finds nice things to say about the 1993 Ford Probe
Tue, Mar 8 2016This latest in MotorWeek's series of Retro Reviews continues its recent trend of remembering the massive glut of sports coupes that hit the market in the '90s. While vehicles like the Mitsubishi 3000GT, Mazda RX-7, and Ford Mustang all enjoy solid reputations down to this day, the 1993 Ford Probe, well... doesn't. As you'll soon see, though, the show's opinion suggests the coupe's second generation isn't really all that bad. Turns out they just weren't particularly sporty. Ford and Mazda developed the Probe together, and the Japanese company supplied both the base 115-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 164-hp 2.5-liter V6 in the GT trim. The original's pseudo-angular look gave way to a much smoother shape for the second generation. Of course, pop-up headlights remained, which were a design hallmark for many of this era's sports coupes. After driving it, MotorWeek proclaims the Probe is "a winner" and considers the handling a "delight." That's not a big surprise, considering that in those days, a car had to be really bad not to get a decent review from Television's Original Automotive Magazine. However, the show hints at some of the reasons the coupe isn't so well remembered today. Even the GT reportedly suffers from soft springs and lots of understeer, which sounds like exactly the opposite anyone hoping to drive the coupe enthusiastically would want. To sum it all up, we're sure you're just as happy as we are that Ford went back on its initial plan to shelve the Mustang in favor of the front-drive Probe. Related Video:
Ford ST Octane Academy [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014
The ST school is about more than just handbrake turns, hot laps, and sliding into parking spaces.
I felt like such a rock star. On my second pass around the UrbanCross course (read: fancy autocross) at the Ford ST Octane Academy, I absolutely nailed the exit, sliding the bright-yellow Focus ST sideways into a box the size of a parking space, all four wheels in line.
eBay Find Of The Day: 1988 Saleen Ford Mustang General Tire 21R race car
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Saleen may be making headlines these days for working on the Tesla Model S, but its history and bread-and-butter is all about the Ford Mustang. The rear-wheel-drive Dearborn pony cars singlehandedly put the company on the map in the '80s. Founder Steve Saleen was already a talented American racing driver when he started the venture, and like many auto industry businesses before him, Saleen went to the track to prove his vehicles' worth. Now, there's a chance to buy one of those early racers on eBay Motors.
Saleen Mustangs raced in the Sports Car Club of America Escort Endurance Championship - a series of multi-hour races meant to challenge man and machine. Ostensibly a showroom stock class, the cars had larger wheels, tuned suspensions and other upgrades that stretched the concept slightly. Saleen found major success though, taking the championship for its class in 1987 and winning the 24 Hours of Mosport consecutively from 1986 through 1988.
According to the seller, Saleen only built eight of these cars, and this one carries the #21R serial number. They all started life as new Mustangs from Ford dealers but were immediately stripped and prepped to go racing. Beyond obvious mods like a roll cage, they featured eight-inch wide wheels in front, an inch of additional track width, stiffer suspension bushings and much more.
