***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.

2015 Ford F-150 pricing announced, aluminum-bodied truck up just $395

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

The eagerly anticipated Ford F-150 has had its 2015 pricing announced, adding only a small amount to the pickup's total cost, despite its weight-saving aluminum body. The XL and XLT entry level models only see a $395 boost over the heavier, current-generation, 2014 truck.
The XL starts at $26,615 while the XLT rings up at $31,890. The increase for Lariat is up a similarly negligible $895, to $39,880. Going up the ladder, meanwhile, the leather-intensive King Ranch sees the biggest jump of the F-150 family, with prices increasing $3,515, to $49,460. Finally, picking up the top-end Platinum trim will cost an extra $3,055, with prices starting at $52,155.
The higher prices are being blamed not only on the aluminum bodies, which trim up to 700 pounds of body fat, but on increased levels of standard equipment. While we were expecting a price hike, the fact that the 2015 F-150's volume trims - Ford spokesman Mike Levine told Reuters that the XL and XLT alone cover 70 percent of F-150 sales - have had less than a $400 increase is hugely impressive.

Detroit automakers mulling helping DIA avoid bankruptcy looting

Tue, 13 May 2014

It's not really a secret that the city of Detroit is in lots and lots of trouble. Even with an emergency manager working to guide it through bankruptcy, a number of the city's institutions remain in very serious danger. One of the most notable is the Detroit Institute of Arts, a 658,000-square-foot behemoth of art that counts works from Van Gogh, Picasso, Gauguin and Rembrandt (not to mention a version of Rodin's iconic "The Thinker," shown above) as part of its permanent collection.
Throughout the bankruptcy, the DIA has been under threat, with art enthusiasts, historians and fans of the museum concerned that its expansive collection - valued between $454 and $867 million by Christie's - could be sold by the city to help square its $18.5-billion debt.
Now, though, Detroit's hometown automakers could be set to step up and help save the renowned museum. According to a report from The Detroit News, the charitable arms of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler could be set to donate $25 million as part of a DIA-initiated campaign, called the "grand bargain." As part of the deal, the DIA would seek $100 million in corporate donations as part of a larger attempt at putting together an $816-million package that would be paid to city pension funds over 20 years. Such a move would protect the city's art collection from being sold off.
