 Our 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 4 door hard top with 260 V8 is an all original unrestored car.  It was manufactured in Dallas, TX and shipped to California.  We have the original owner's manual and are the second owners.  It has always been garaged and well maintained.  The title is clear and in my name. 

It has the original two tone Glacier Blue paint with the Viking Blue hard top.  The paint is in really good condition with some minor touchup paint applied to nicks by the first owner.  The body and original molding is in really nice, straight condition.  There's one small dent in this car near the grille on the passenger side and that's it. Original wheels and hub caps.  The wheels have some superficial rust on them. Michelin tires are about 75% or better remaining tread.

All the glass is in nice condition with no cracks or chips.  All of the window cranks work freely.  Original seatbelts.  The seats show a patina where the white sections are not pure white anymore.  Carpet is in great shape with no rot.  Headliner is original and in great shape.  Dome light cover is missing. Dash paint is weathered a bit as seen in photos but as with the rest of the car, I left it as is unrestored.

This car has Ford factory air conditioning and it works but is blowing cool air and not ice cold so it could probably use a recharge.  All of the dash instruments work including the original AM radio, heater, defroster, turn signals, horn, etc. All of the exterior lights work.

The 260 V8 runs very quiet with no ticking, tapping, knocking or faltering.  It starts right up and has no modifications to it. It gets exercised and serviced regularly and has not been sitting.  The water pump and AC belt were recently replaced.  The automatic transmission goes into gear with a positive bump as it should and does not slip, clunk or falter. Brakes work as they should without pulling to one side or the other.  We keep this in the garage and it doesn't leak any fluids.

These Galaxies are only truly original like this once.

Ford recalling 850,000 cars and SUVs for airbag issues

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

Ford has announced a major recall of 850,000 vehicles from model years 2013 and 2014 due to a problem with the "restraints control module."
According to Ford, a short circuit could develop in the module, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate. In more severe cases, dependent on where the short develops, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners may not work in the event of an accident. The problems can be more wide-ranging than that, too, as systems that rely on information from the control module, such as the stability control can be affected.
With 850,000 vehicles affected, it's no surprise that some of Ford's volume leaders are covered. That includes the Fusion and Lincoln MKZ sedans, as well as the incredibly recall-prone Escape and the C-Max MPV.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.

Ford, Ram in heavy-duty towing spat

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Every pickup truck commercial has the brand trying to convince us that its model is the biggest, brawniest vehicle on the block. But Ford and Ram appear ready to really throw down the gauntlet and scrap over the towing figures for their heavy-duty models, and it could potentially end up in court.
The issue revolves around what it means to be best in class. Ford claims that its 2015 F-450 (pictured above) has a max tow rating of 31,200 pounds, compared to 30,000 pounds for the Ram 3500 (right). However, both companies market these heavy haulers as having the top towing in their class. According to Automotive News, Ford is threatening legal action if Ram doesn't back down.
The situation isn't as simple as just comparing the numbers, though. First, the two companies calculate their towing capacities differently. Ram adheres to the SAE J2807 rating, while Ford uses its own internal system. Although, as the company introduces new models, they are certified using the SAE standard. "When an all-new F-Series Super Duty is introduced, it also will use SAE J2807," said Ford to Autoblog in an emailed statement.
