Up for sell is my 1963 Ford Country Sedan WAGON! This is a really cool wagon as it still wears about 90% of its original paint, giving it that great patina look. The roof was repainted about 6 months ago as the paint was very thin, no rust. The wagon was stored inside a shed / barn in Southern CA for over 15 years which preserved the car and avoided the usual rust you would typically find in these old Fords. The plan was to make into a old school Drag push car but economic reasons forces sale. All the glass is in perfect condition and all the trim is in original condition with a few dings here and there. Here is a list of what has been done to the car:

New but Used Ford 352 engine and automatic Tranny with 34k original miles ( Pulled out of a 62 Mercury )
Bucket seat conversion with center console ( Out of a 64 Galaxy )
Complete Galaxy Dash Stainless kit ( Out of 63 Galaxy )
COMPLETE brand new interior. Headliner, carpet, door panels and carpeted rear cargo area ( $3K )
Added original radio and clock ( Originally it was a radio and clock delete car )
RARE original WORKING Power Windows! ( Except for rear tailgate )
Custom and vintage Stuart Warner gauge set ( Oil Pressure still needs to be installed )
All new brakes and hardware
16 inch American Racing wheels with Yokohama tires. ( Staggered with rear tires measuring almost 10 inches wide )
Car is lowered all around, with 3" blocks in rear and lowered springs in front
Dual Magnaflow exhaust, drops out right behind each rear tire
Weathered vintage hand painted signage ( easy to remove if you want it off or plan on painting the car )

The car is a cruiser and offers a nice stance and comfortable ride. No over heating issues and can be driven anywhere. I am in Oceanside CA and would be happy to show you the car in person if you are local. The car is not perfect but the list of things to do is small:

Power Steering Pump or hose leaks ( just replaced Pressure hose but still leaks )
minor Alignment
replace choke as it does not work.
small dent by rear bumper on drivers side and small dent on lower tailgate, adds character :)

Extras that come with car: Four Barrel carb and intake and used front 1963 Galaxy Fiberglass bumper, ready to be installed.

PLEASE NOTE that the last three pictures is how the car currently is, with hand lettering. If you want it off I can take it off before it gets shipped or picked up.

Car is mostly original and is being sold as is, if serious Please feel free to make me an offer or call me with any questions, 949-633-6251

Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early....

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage

Mon, 03 Jan 2011

The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

This unique '64 Mustang was Edsel Ford II's first car

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

You probably had the same dream when you were a teenager. Your sixteenth birthday is coming up, or Christmas, or maybe both, and all you want is a muscle car to call your own. That dream has come true for some, and one of them was none other than Edsel Ford II.
Henry Ford's great grandson turned 16 on December 27, 1964 - two days after Christmas and eight months after the original Mustang went on sale. And that's just what was waiting for him in the driveway, courtesy of his father (and reigning chief executive) Henry Ford II.
The specially-prepared pony car had a pearlescent cream paintjob with narrow blue racing stripes, functional hood scoop, chrome trim, Euro-spec fender-mounted mirrors, a blue leather and aluminum interior, a monogrammed fuel cap... and a 289-cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
