1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible 6.4l on 2040-cars
Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States
|
For Sale is a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2Dr convertible. It has a clear Michigan title. I don't know it's history, but understand it was a barn-find in Virginia. It has a 352 V-8 engine that sometime in the past was bored-out to a 390 CID. It is a manual transmission - 3 speed shifter in the steering column. Manual steering and manual brakes. It has a new convertible top, which operates by power. In the last year, it has received new piston rings, push rods, all new gaskets and seals, new timing chain and sprockets, rebuilt transmission, new generator and voltage regulator, new starter, new fuel pump, new gas tank and sending unit, tune-up with points/condenser/cap/spark plugs, carburetor rebuild, new thermostat, shifting linkage rebuild, spring suspension supports, and brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders rebuild. The car runs well, and drives like a dream. Older dual exhaust on NOS exhaust manifolds sounds great. A larger radiator was installed sometime in the past. Holley 2 BBL carb. It has an older body restoration, the paint shines nicely, but there are some imperfections, the trim is all attached, but not in perfect shape. There is some rust-through on a lower rocker panel, and a little rust on the floor board. The tires have great tread, but are several years old and do show some signs of cracking in the sidewalls. Interior appears to be original. Seats have no holes or tears, the door panels and side panels are a little worn, but everything is there and in OK shape. All of the glass is in great shape, and the windows all operate freely. Headlights, wipers, turn signals, speedometer and odometer work. The odometer shows 61,000+ miles, but I have no way of knowing if that's accurate. This car is fun to drive. I've tried to list as much information as possible, please don't hesitate to ask questions. This car has no warranty, and is being sold as is. It is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to close the auction early if it does sell. I have posted a few pictures. Good Faith Deposit of $500 is required within 48 hours of close of the auction. Final payment within 10 days. Funds will be cash or PayPal only. Transportation at the buyer's expense. |

Ford Mustang pinball machine has supple wrist, plays by sense of smell [w/video]
Fri, 07 Feb 2014Ford didn't have anything major to show off at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show, so it seems it instead opted to have some fun - it brought a row of pinball machines to the show. Yes, pinball machines.
We originally told you about the Stern Pinball Ford Mustang machine a few days ago, and as day two of the Chicago show is a bit of a slow one, we opted to head to the show floor and get some snaps of the bank of new machines. Not surprisingly, there's plenty for the Mustang fan in each of these machines, ranging frond different models, to logos to a full model.
Take a look below for our full gallery of live shots, available up top. Then head below for our original gallery of stock images, along with a video and press release on the new machines.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
2014 Ford Fusion order guide reveals new base Hybrid model, equipment changes
Tue, 23 Apr 2013We've gotten our grubby little digits on the dealer order guide for the as-yet-unreleased 2014 Ford Fusion thanks to an anonymous tipster, and while there isn't much that's unexpected, there are some meaningful equipment changes to report after the rakish sedan's first year on the market.
Mechanically, the big news is, of course, the recently confirmed availability of the 1.5-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. The powertrain replaces the 1.6-liter automatic setup of 2013, though if you want a manual transmission, you'll still get the extra .1-liter of displacement.
On the equipment front, there are newly available rear inflatable seatbelts - as seen previously on the Explorer - along with a new heated steering wheel and cooled seat option on Titanium and Titanium Hybrid models (the latter two options will be late availability).
