***THERE IS A SLIDESHOW WITH MORE DETAILED PICS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS AUCTION***

1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2dr Fastback. Was originally a 352 CID automatic car in Raven Black with Red Vinyl Interior with 3.00 rear end gears.

***IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION***

The car needs total restoration but would be beautiful when finished. I have included some pics of build ideas on this car in the pics.

The car needs alot of body work. It needs the passenger side front fender replaced. It needs a long rear passenger quarter panel put in (you can buy these online). It needs a new drivers door put on. I have a replacement door that is straight but needs a couple holes filled on the bottom weatherstrip channels. Try to find a new one or patch this one up. I also have two front fenders and a front bumper valence from the previous owner. The fenders are rusted out on top and bottom but the valence is good and straight. I would try to find a new passenger fender and then use the trim off of these.

The hood and trunk lid are good and straight and not rusted out.

All of the glass is good except for the windshield.

The frame is solid and the wheel wells look good with no holes. No rust in the engine bay either.

The great thing about this car is that the floor pans are pretty solid compared to most cars of this age. The only holes are in the very front so it will need two short front floor pans put in like they all do but that is it. The pans under the seat and behind them are solid. Also, the rear trunk pan where the rear damage is on the passenger side needs to be hammered straight a bit but there is no rust in the trunk pan.

All the interior and interior trim is there with the car. Everything just needs to be recovered, new headlinder, carpet, etc. The dash is all there but it needs a new pad.

The stainless window trim is all there and straight. Just needs to be polished. Most of the side trim is there on the car and in the box.

The bumpers and bumper brackets are good and straight. The bumpers just need to be rechromed.

All of the headlights and buckets are there in the box.

A power brake booster from the previous owner is included with the car but I have no idea if it will work with this car. See the pics.

It has a few old Cougar and Thunderbird hubcaps on it that could be sold off and some extra tail light trim.

There is no title. Alabama law does not require a title for vehicles 35+ years old. Car will come with a bill of sale.

Ford adding second supplier for F-150 frames

Mon, Aug 10 2015

Metalsa, the company that builds steel frames for the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, is still having trouble providing enough frames to supply the two factories that build the pickup. The snafu is preventing Ford from selling as many of the country's best-selling truck as it could, and eating into profits - even though the bottom line is still breaking company records. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford has picked Michigan company Tower International as a second frame supplier and expects to have inventory up to a proper level at the beginning of Q4 of this year. Neither Ford nor Tower would confirm the development - Automotive News got comments from a source and pieced together bits of info from Tower's financial statements and local press reports. Tower currently builds body structures for several vehicles, including the F-series, and the Bellevue, Ohio factory that will build F-150 frames previously manufactured frames for the Ranger and Econoline. According to a story in the local Sandusky Register, Tower will add one production line at the end of next month to begin shipping frames in October, and another line in April 2016. Something like 138 full-time workers and 364 robots are expected to carry out the work. Tower's most recent financial statement said that capital investment will be necessary to get everything set up, but the contract will be worth $140 million in yearly revenue.

2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang

Mon, 01 Jul 2013

If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.

Watch how a Ford Raptor rolls down the assembly line in Dearborn

Sun, 30 Mar 2014

Bloomberg TV reporter Matt Miller is the proud new owner of a pretty killer truck. How do we know? The reporter headed to Dearborn, MI to Ford's assembly plant, with a film crew in tow, to see exactly how his new F-150 SVT Raptor and its mother-loving 6.2-liter V8 engine, was screwed together.
The resulting video does an excellent job of summing up how an assemblage of parts and pieces is turned into a triple-black Raptor, thanks to the work of some 1,000 employees and about 20 hours of real time. Click through below to see how the truck is born, with a surprise cameo playing the part of delivery driver at the end.
