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!

2015 Ford Mustang invades SEMA, led by King Cobra

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Ford showcased more than a dozen customized 2015 Mustangs at its sprawling 20,000-square foot display this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center as the iconic pony car's 50th anniversary celebration continued at the SEMA Show.
While Mustangs are always a hot commodity at SEMA, the new generation brought increased attention from the aftermarket, as builders like Galpin Auto Sports, Richard Petty's Garage and Vaughn Gittin Jr. offered their takes on the new 'Stang.
The extensive display included a range of Mustangs from mild to wild, with everything from a 600-plus horsepower King Cobra pictured at the top, to paint-and-wheel packages. The new regal Cobra, which we spied early in our SEMA adventure this year, may not be the replacement for the Cobra Jet as we speculated, but it does seem to point the way forward for the next iteration of a supreme Ford dragster. Fat drag slicks out back make it's reason for being abundantly clear, and for tells us that modded car is good for a 10.97-second quarter-mile run.

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.

California Man Reunited 33 Years Later With Thunderbird

Wed, Sep 3 2014

A California man was at a loss for words when he was reunited with his prized 1964 Ford Thunderbird on Tuesday, 33 years after it was stolen from a bar parking lot. Gary Chartrand could hardly believe how well his old Thunderbird held up in the last three decades. The odometer had only added about 1,000 miles from when he last saw the car back in the 1980s. "A few bumps and bruises but boy, not much changed," Chartrand told KOVR. Chartrand bought the car as a present to himself after finalizing his divorce from his wife of 10 years in 1981. It disappeared one night from the parking lot of a Sacramento bar where he was working. Police found Chartrand's car 750 miles north in Washington State. They have no leads on who might have stolen the classic car. Related Gallery Buying An Older Car: Five Things To Watch Out For
