1963 Ford Galaxie Wagon - '427'
Dual Quad - 4 speed top loader transmission, 9 passenger, XL trim package.
I don't even know where to begin...
I stopped counting after I put 75k into this car...
I purchased the car in southern California about 12 years ago, and it was a 99k mile mint survivor. It was purchased in Bodega Bay where they filmed 'The Birds'
This car was so immaculate and rust free that I felt it was worthy of a full blown restoration.
In 2006, I completed a 1200 hour frame off restoration. Every nut and bolt came off, replaced just about everything in NOS I could get my hands on.
I purchased a 66' side oiler that was a service block and was a wausau built block, with 1st time .020 bore. I bought the short block all assembled with all the high quality rods, pistons, steel crank, screw in freeze plugs etc.
I bought the shorty headers, they are planed, no cracks, new exhaust with borla copy type mufflers. It sounds like a Ferrari going down the road.
It has a factory 63' low riser dual quad intake, and I purchased 2 of those brand new factory replacement carburetors from Carl's Ford about 2 years ago.
Also has the Eldebrock aluminum heads.
The transmission is a 66' top loader large spline 4 speed which had all the guts and gears replaced in it, with exception of the reverse gear as it was fine.
The bumpers were re-chromed, all the rubbers and seals replaced, and the side moldings are all new NOS, replaced in 2006. The rocker moldings are original.
I wanted this car to be a extra special 63' Galaxie Wagon, so I went with the high power '427', kept my focus on the originality of the 1963 era, and installed a full
'XL' package as it would have been done in 1963.
The glass is all original I believe, and there is no whiting on the perimeter of the glass.
I installed a metal 63' dash and refinished it with the correct high gloss rangoon red. The car originally had a rare wagon reverberator which still works.
I purchased a factory correct AM/FM radio which works great in warm weather, but not so in the winter for some reason.
I also installed a 2k Sony stereo system, with two amps mounted under the back seats, stereo mounted under the dash. The sound quality is very nice.
The interior trim was replated or refinished, and the headliner is original and still looks pretty darn good.
I purchased two full sets of the Dearborn interior seat covers in order to make the rear seats look correct and also the 9 passenger rear seat.
There is so much to add to the list of things that were done to the car... I just can't think of everything right now, and will be more than happy to answer any questions either by phone or email.
I have a ton of pictures from Day 1, and also have a video from last year. You may have to copy and paste the link: http://youtu.be/R2P9rXXQ3-g
I appreciate your interest in my car.
Car is sold 'as-is' and 'where is' with no warranty expressed or implied. The car is available for inspection by appointment in Jupiter, Florida.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow
Tue, 14 Jan 2014When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

Get a taste of Ford GT ownership from Dust Devils
Thu, Jan 1 2015It seems that the automotive world might be right on the cusp of getting some kind of follow-up to the Ford GT. It might not be called the GT or even use the coupe's retro look, but rumors point to such a beast being on the way. If the future halo model can inspire as much adoration among fans as the previous ones, then the Blue Oval is sure to have another winner on its hands. To get idea just how closely GT owners are bonded to their cars, take a ride with the participants in the ninth Ford GT National Rally in this short documentary titled Dust Devils. The owners convened with over 80 of the retro supercars in Las Vegas, NV, to admire the coupes and give them a workout on the desert roads. It's especially nice to see the drivers of these limited production Fords unafraid to take their cars to the track and stretch their legs a little.

The long, low-slung look is simultaneously menacing and lithe, and the growl from the latest model's supercharged V8 is nothing to complain about either. Get just the slightest taste of what it's like to have one of these halo Fords in this clip, from the people that love them the most.
