WOW!  Just out of dry storage for over 30 years is this cool 1963 Ford Galaxie Country Squire five  passenger woody wagon with a big block 390!.  This is a two owner car that has been in the same family since it was purchased off the original owner in 1964!   A true survivor!

Here is a cool story about this car.  The story goes as told to me by the current owners.  In 1962 a local business man of the Hazleton Pennsylvania area that had a fleet of trucks went into the local Ford dealership named Montone Ford of Hazleton PA. where he bought all of his business vehicles, and wanted to order a new family truckster.   He stated he wanted a big block, bucket seats, and the automatic on the floor.  The dealer told him that interior was not an available option in a wagon.  Well, the man was not happy, and told the dealer that if he could not get it the way he wanted it, he would switch brands,  He said,  "I'll and go down to the Chevy dealer, and order my new car, then I'll buy all my new trucks there also".  Well, as the story goes, the dealer had a lot of pull, and powerful allocation with Ford at the time!  A few days later the car was ordered for the man, and he received it in the spring of 1963.   Could this be the first five passenger XL wagon?  It is possible with the early production date of march.  No one knows for sure, but that is what was told to the current owners that bought it in 1964.  I just thought I would re-tell that cool story. 


There were only 19,922 six passenger wagons built to begin with, and this wagon is one of 437 built as a five passenger with the rare 71-G option code known as the XL interior option with bucket seats, and floor shift with console.  There is only 43,180 documented miles on this car!   This is not a restored car!  It is just that nice! 

Quite a bit of work has just been done to the wagon after sitting for 30 years.  The fuel tank was cleaned and coated inside. The brakes were gone through from front to back with new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, and a new power booster.  The engine received a tune up, new belts, hoses, fluids, new water pump, fuel pump and rebuilt power steering pump.  The tires have been replaced with radials that are in good condition.   

The numbers matching FE 390 4 barrel (Z code) engine runs excellent.

The correct 3spd. Cruise-O-Matic transmission shifts great and is leak free.

The 9 inch ford 3.00-1 rear is correct and quiet.

The Corinthian White paint is in nice shape with some small chips and some touch ups.  I do not know if all the paint is original but the owner never recalls any paintwork.  The paint still shows well for it's age.  The wood grain is nice with some signs of sun fading on the rear tailgate.  There is some light checking in the foe wood, but it is hard to see. 

The Chrome on the bumpers and all the stainless trim  are exceptional nice for being over 50 years old, and yes, it is all the original.  Again, this is not a restored car.  

The light blue crush vinyl interior is all original and in very good condition except for one small spot on the drivers seat where the seat frame rubbed against.  ( see picture)  The headliner, dash, door panels, trim, console and even the carpet are in very good condition for being the original!

The undercarriage is in excellent unrestored condition.  Never any rust or work done on the floors or frame.  The dual exhaust is quiet and in good shape.

Everything works as it should, even the rear electric window.  The only thing that I saw that does not work is the tachometer mounted on the console. The 8 track player is aftermarket, as are the rear speakers. 

Here is the information from the trim tag and VIN if you can not make it out in the picture.
  
V.I.N. is 3E76Z213830

This car runs and drives very well and needs nothing.  Put your surf boards in it and go to the beach in classic style!

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.

Ford Transit customs ready to work for SEMA

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Ford's booth at the SEMA Show this year looks to have two, big themes. The Blue Oval is bringing over a dozen takes on the 2015 Mustang to the event, and it's now also announcing five customized versions on the 2015 Transit to join the modded pony cars. Each of the vans shows off a different use for the spacious commercial vehicle, from plush luxury to offroad ruggedness.
You probably don't think of the Transit as hitting the trails, but that's just what the take on the design from the Vegas Off-Road Experience (pictured above) is for. The company gives people the opportunity to drive a desert race truck, and this custom is meant to drive them to events. It should be able to take on the terrain a little better with off-road wheels and tires and fender flares, but inside passengers get serious luxury thanks to a 60-inch LED TV and video game systems.
Alternatively the blazing red Designed Travel Transit (right) is all about long road trips. The interior features four captain's chairs with heating, cooling and massage functions, and there's a 4K 50-inch TV to watch. For a touch of added class, the floor is made from hickory.

Autoblog editors choose their favorite racecars of all time

Thu, Feb 26 2015

If you like cars, there is a good chance that you like racecars. There's something about the science and the art of going faster, of competition, of achievement, that accelerates the hearts of enthusiasts. It doesn't matter the series, the team or the manufacturer – there's something about racing that stirs emotions and lifts spirits. It's that way with many of you, and it's that way with our editors. With that in mind, we offer a list of our favorite racecars of all time. Of course, we'd like to hear some of yours in the comment section below. 1970 Porsche 917 Compared to some of the obscure choices by my colleagues, I feel like the Porsche 917 is almost so obvious a pick as to not be worth mentioning. Still, when coming up with my answer, my mind invariably went back to this classic racer – specifically in its blue-and-orange Gulf livery – while watching Le Mans on DVD and later Blu Ray with my dad. Long, low and curvaceous, few vehicles have ever looked sexier lapping a track than the 917. More than just a pretty face, this beauty had speed, too, thanks to several tunes of flat-12 engines over the course of its racing life. In the early '70s, Porsche was a dominant force throughout sports-car competition, and the 917 (shown above at the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona) was the tip of that spear, including back-to-back victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Largely without dialogue or really much of a traditional plot, Le Mans is like a tone poem of racing goodness. While the 917's importance to motorsports history is undoubtedly fascinating, it's still this cinematic depiction of the Porsche racer that draws me in most, especially with the volume cranked. – Chris Bruce Associate Editor 1964 Mini Cooper S How could everyone not be selecting the 1964 Mini Cooper S piloted by Paddy Hopkirk and Henry Liddon? That car, 33 EJB, took the first of British Motor Corporation's four Monte Carlo Rally wins (it should have been five, but French judges got the British Minis [and Fords] disqualified on a technicality regarding headlights... which its own car, the winning DS, was also in violation of). The tiny red car and its white roof beat out Ford Falcons, Mercedes-Benz 300SEs and scores of Volvos, Volkswagens and Saabs. This, along with the several years of dominance that followed, cemented the idea that not only could the tiny, two-tone Mini be a real performance vehicle, but that family-friendly city cars in general could be fun.
