1962 FORD GALAXIE 500 XL CLASSIC CAR/LOWRIDER-AIR RIDE/HOT ROD/SHOW CAR

VIDEO LINK BELOW TO YOU TUBE:

The INTERIOR of this 62 was completed with a Burgundy on Black color coordination that added great comfort and a show quality finish to the interior. The 500XL stitching on the back of the seats ads that extra quality and design to the interior. The entire floor and roof of the car has been layered with Dynamat. This has greatly reduced road noise and improved the quality of the sound system that has been added to the car. When the new headliner was installed I added a new Windshield, and added all new gaskets to every part of the car.

Shortly after the interior completion the dash color was modified by removing the factory dash pad and sprayed with a two stage Ford color-Dark Cherry Metallic paint made by DIAMONT to match the interior. It was chosen to enhance the look of this new interior. Some new dash bezels were added as well as temperature and oil sending gauges for highly accurate readings. The interior was finished off with a great sound system customized just for this car. THIS IS A SMOKE FREE CLASSIC CAR!

The SOUND:

1-JVC -50W X4 Mofset Apple/ipod/Satellite Radio-Ready in Dash CD/DVD Deck-Model: KWAV70BT

2-JBL 4”X6” 2 way Car speakers with plus one HCL Woofer cones Model: JBLP6462

1-Infinity Kappa One 1600W Class D Digital Mono Amplifier

2-Infinity Kappa One 10” Subwoofers 100.9W-2 ohms-mounted in the trunk in a specially designed box.

2-Pioneer 6X9 rear speakers

2-4” SCOSCHE speakers mounted in specially designed kick panels by Rhino Fabrication.

1 Alpine 4 Channel KTP-445U Power Pack Universal Amp.

 

No holes were cut inside this car for any of the customization that was done in the interior. All of the original metal panels remain intact as it was when the vehicle was made in 1962. All of the chrome trim, original radio, dash bezels and console pieces remain intact. The interior is of showroom quality. The interior dash bulbs were upgraded to a brighter more luminescent bulb that really shows the instrument panel when night driving. The STEERING WHEEL has been covered with a special order Leather Wheel Skin cover made by: WheelSkins.com

 

The ENGINE of this car was completely rebuilt by a professional and completed June 2013. It is the original Ford 390 big block with some upgrades as listed:

TO LIST A FEW:

MSD Ignition System/Summit Racing

.533 Lift/Exh. Comp Camshaft/Summit Racing

Comp Roller Rockers/Jegs High Performance

Bored .30 with High Comp. Pistons/Rings/Bearings

Edelbrock Mid-Rise Aluminum Intake

Quick Flow SS-750 4 Barrel Double Pumper Carburetor/Recent addition: Dual Spectre Carburetor Plenum with 2 Filters and a Holley Fuel Regulator.

New Chrome 7” Brake Booster

Edelbrock High Rise Aluminum Valve Covers

Edelbrock Chrome Breather

16” electric pusher fan

Chrome Oil Pan

120 gph Holley Fuel Pump… and many extras…

 

This ENGINE is completely awesome, runs and performs with EXCELLENCE! There are 600 miles on the engine since it was recently completed-2013. The car is garage kept and occasionally driven to local car shows and has never been in rain since painted.

THE TRANSMISSION of this car came with a Ford Cruise O Matic transmission but replaced with a 4 SPEED T-10 Borg Warner that was rebuilt and installed in this car 1 month ago. This T-10 has WIDE Gear Ratios which are: 1st.-2.64/2nd.-1.75/ 3rd.-1.62/ 4th.-1.00. Instead of installing the original shifter I upgraded to a HURST Comp Plus 4 speed shifter. I located the original 4 speed 500 XL Center console plate and has been re-chromed! Inside the ribs located in the chrome center console need to be painted so the small pits can be covered.

 

The WHEELS are New 17” Cragar Series 390C Chrome Street Pro 2-piece composite wheel with traditional hot rod styling. These Cragar wheels are mounted on TOYO PROXES 4 P245/45ZR/17 Tires.


The BRAKES are drum on all 4 wheels. They have been turned and have been completely equipped with new cylinders and pads. The original booster was replaced with a new 7” chrome booster to allow clearance for the high valve covers. The brakes are 4 wheel drum brakes and stopping power is excellent.

The UNDERCARRIAGE of the car has been stripped clean repainted and is free of grease and dirt. Liquid Dynamat undercoating has been applied from front to rear of the car. The rear end is the original Ford 9”-3:00:1 ratio and the EXHUAST recently completed with 2-1/2” pipe that holds 2 Flowmaster 10 mufflers. The Flowmaster 10’s give it an awesome sound with a deep tone.  


THE SUSPENSION is NEW and has been completely upgraded with Air Ride Technologies Level 2 Air Ride system. “The LEVEL 2 system provides more tuning with the addition of a Shockwave® front kit and the enhanced RideProe3™ control system. The front Shockwave® system is a simple bolt-on install. The single shock and air spring unit provides a cleaner appearance and offers adjustable shock valving to aid in tuning. A Ridetech 4-Link will position the rear more precisely and eliminate the flexing and instability of the leaf spring rear. The 5 gallon RidePro®e3 system provides 4 way digital control. It allows 3 system air pressure presets to provide accurate adjustments with the touch of just one button.” I ordered this system with 2 remotes that allow the system to be adjusted with a touch of a button. It rides like a new car and handles far better than you could ever get with the factory suspension.


The TRUNK has been customized and carpeted. Panels have been custom fit and covered to give it a great look as well as a great sound barrier. Dynamat also covers the floor of the trunk and the inner fender wells to reduce noise and improve sound quality. Also, covered panels have been cut to custom fit the inner trunk lid for an added barrier.

The EXTERIOR is a Ford color that was used on later model Ford vehicles. Dark Cherry Metallic was chosen early on for this project. One coat of sealer primer rests underneath 2 coats of Dark Cherry Metallic paint and 3 coats of Southern Polyurethane clear/ cut and buffed to a mirror finish. The exterior chrome was removed to give the car a more LOWRIDER feel and streamline effect. This is after all, a MODIFIED street rod not to be mistaken for an all ORIGINAL car. The FRONT BUMPER has been completely restored and triple chromed by Tri-City Plating in Elizabethton, TN. The rear bumper is driver quality but needs to be re-chromed. The headlight bezels were repaired and re-chromed by Atlantic Coast Plating in Athens, TN and 4 Chrome (Ford) Headlight protective rings were added for a greater appeal. The car could be cut and buffed once again if the buyer chooses to get an even better shine out of the paint. To get a deeper more illustrious gloss the car can be re-cleared up to 8+ more times. The clear coat is Southern Polyurethane 4000-1. 1:1 ratio.

 

EXTRA’S added in with this sale:

Original Intake (Cleaned, polished and painted)

Original Holly 4 barrel Carburetor

Most of the narrow side, trunk and hood chrome. (Missing 1 pc off the left front fender)

Some extra dash chrome trim pieces /

Here's how much the new Ford Mustang will cost in Germany

Thu, Jan 8 2015

While you can find Ford Mustangs across Europe, they were brought over there courtesy of importers, rather than Ford itself. That's changing with the 2015 pony car, as Ford will be selling it directly through its overseas dealers. Now, we know how much German customers will be shelling out for the muscle car, courtesy of the maniacs at Mustang6G. Not surprisingly, there's a fairly hefty premium compared to US prices. The base Mustang, with its 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed manual transmission will start at 34,000 euros ($40,214, at today's rates), while the 5.0-liter V8/six-speed-manual model starts at 39,000 euros ($46,127). The Mustang Convertible demands an extra 4,000 euros ($4,731) while the optional six-speed automatic elevates the price by 2,000 euros ($2,365), regardless, in both cases, of whether there are four or eight cylinders under that long hood. While those prices are certainly pretty dear compared to what we pay in the US, the Mustang is a genuine bargain compared to some of Europe's other sports coupes. The German market BMW 4 Series starts at 36,050 euros ($42,638), while a base 435i calls for 48,100 euros ($56,891). It's a similar story with the Audi A5/S5. As for the Mustang's arch-nemesis, the Chevrolet Camaro, which is only available with the SS model's 6.2-liter V8, starts at 39,990 euros ($47,298), comparing quite evenly with the 5.0-liter GT.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford announces e-bike project, Honda Accord Hybrid availability catches up

Thu, Mar 5 2015

Supplies of the Honda Accord Hybrid have apparently caught up with demand. Honda originally launched the Accord Hybrid for the 2014 model year, but lack of availability plagued interested customers and eager dealers alike. Honda cited "component supply constraints" - likely batteries, electric motors and the like - for the lack of available vehicles. Now, "The supply of Accord Hybrids in general is in line with the supply of the regular Accord sedan," according to Honda's Angie Nucci. Read more at Green Car Reports. Apple is seeking a resolution to a lawsuit accusing the company of poaching employees from lithium-ion battery maker A123 Systems. A123 has requested a court order stopping a former employer from breaking an employment agreement, as well as keeping Apple from encouraging the person to do so. Apple has requested more time to respond to that court order. A123 has also filed a suit accusing five employees of breaking nondisclosure agreements and going or trying to go to work for Apple. Insiders say that Apple is developing an electric car that could go into production as early as 2020. Read more at Automotive News. South Dakota's Ethanol Infrastructure Incentive Program is helping retailers fund ethanol storage. The state government has set aside $300,000 as part of the program to fund ethanol storage tanks at gas stations. The program, which originally set out to reimburse retailers for building ethanol flex-pumps, is now helping them expand their ethanol capacities. Retailers can apply for funds for pumps and storage through June 30. Read more at Argus Leader. Ford is expanding its Global Mobility Plan with the Handle on Mobility electric bike experiment. The foldable MoDe:Me e-bike is for personal use and commuting, while the MoDe:Pro is built for commercial duty, with both powered by a 200-watt motor and 9-amp-hour battery. The bikes use an iPhone app called MoDe:Link, which provides various information and controls important bike functions. Through the app, the bikes offer navigation (with traffic data, available public transportation and charging locations included), with handlebar vibrations letting the rider know when and where to turn and automatically activating turn signals. The bike can sense and alert the rider to other vehicles on the roadway. Pedal assist is based on heart rate, allowing the rider to arrive at their destination comfortably. See the bikes in the video above, and read more from Ford.

Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
