1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback

This is a very nice looking 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL that is an "older garage restoration."Originally the car had a 289, but it was swapped out for a 1969 Ford 429 4V Tunderjet Motor mounted to a rebuilt C6 with a stage 3 shift kit built for high performance.

 The 1969 Ford 429 4V Engine
- Low mileage motor that was rebuilt using standard bore
- It has Clevite 77 performance rated bearing, new piston rings, gaskets, Melling oil pump, Comp timing chain, Magnum roller rockers, Ford Racing M-6316-A460 Damper, and a Holley 750cfm Carb.
- The ignition has been upgraded to full MSD which includes the MSD distributor, coil and 6A ignition Box.

High Performance Ford C6 Transmission
- Professionally rebuilt by AAMCO
-Has a transgo stage 3 shift kit
- Racing Servo
- 2200 RPM Stall Converter

The Engine and the Transmission function perfectly. The car drives very well but takes a little bit of strength to turn the car and apply the brakes. This car has manual steering and manual brakes with 4 wheel drums. The trim is not perfect but still looks good, the bumpers are original and look acceptable, and chrome lake pipes were added to enhance the look of the vehicle. The frame is in perfect condition, the body does have some filler in the quarter panels, the floors are solid, and the trunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new set of 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BF Goodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory 3.25 gear.
There is a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Amp alternator, dual 40 series flowmaster exhaust, new wiring, new radio, new carpet, new door panels, new bezels, and a new hood latch emblem. The car needs a single speed wiper switch and a right AIR vent cable. 

Overall this is a nice looking Galaxie that always gets attention wherever it goes. It's not perfect but it has been garage kept for the past 11 years, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I've taken it to the smaller local car shows, and the car always stands out from the other cars. I enjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun, but unfortunately I need to sell it for financial reasons


 This Car will drive anywhere!
 Sorry, I will not ship overseas.

Focus STs for SEMA include Lotus and Gulf liveries, rally-fied police car

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Ford, as we mentioned on Saturday, is pulling out all the stops for November's SEMA show, bringing 57 vehicles to the Las Vegas event. Ford will be staggering the release of its SEMA flotilla, though, so expect to hear a lot about the new additions to the fleet in the weeks to come. We already showed you the Fiesta, Fiesta ST and Mustang models that made up the first batch of SEMA cars. Next up, we have a quartet of modded Focus STs joining Ford's SEMA roster.
Our first Focus ST (pictured above) sports the legendary livery of Gulf Racing. The orange-on-blue scheme, which Ford helped make famous at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, has been updated for 2013, with a more vibrant blue. This ST was built by Universal Technical Institute, while the exterior was done by Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition. Side exhausts, a Vortech supercharger and a Motiv Concepts high-flow cat allow the ST to breathe a bit easier, while Forgestar wheels contrast well with the iconic paint scheme.
Focus ST number two has been done-up by PM Lifestyle and is inspired by "Southern California car culture." Sporting a sleek, pale blue paint job, there's also no shortage of carbon fiber on the car's exterior. The 2.0-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine has been massaged by the likes of Banks Power, COBB Tuning and Ford Racing, while the suspension is wearing a shiny, new set of coilovers and sway bars. The meaty brakes, tucked behind 19-inch, Rotiform wheels, come from Wilwood, while the cabin has been fitted with a pair of Sparco Chrono seats and five-point, Schroth harnesses.

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford

Tue, 07 Jan 2014


The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
