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

Trim Tag

Body color Trim DSO Date Axle Trans

71 G M 82 15 10E 1 4

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

Please take a good look at the pictures and don't be afraid to call or email for any further info, pictures or to check out this cool time capsule. Please call Jim @ 570-956-6342 ...SORRY, NO TEXT!

THE OWNERS AND I WILL DO OUR BEST TO HELP WITH SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! Thanks, and have a great day!

EPA says fuel economy test for hybrids is accurate

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

The EPA says it stands behind its fuel economy test for hybrid vehicles following controversy about the testing process after Ford C-Max Hybrid customers and automotive journalists alike struggled to achieve 47 miles per gallon, the advertised mpg number, Automotive News reports. Ford responded to the issue almost two weeks ago by claiming that a 1970s-era EPA general label rule was responsible for the inaccurate mileage numbers, rerating the C-Max Hybrid's mpg numbers and offering customers rebates. Ford later said it didn't overstate the C-Max Hybrid's fuel economy and that it was surprised by the low numbers.
Ford technically didn't do anything wrong because it was following the general label rule, but agency regulator Christopher Grundler says the automaker was exploiting a loophole when it came up with the hybrid C-Max numbers, and that the testing process remains accurate. The general label rule allows vehicles that use the same engine and transmission and are in the same weight class to share fuel economy numbers, but it doesn't take into account other factors such as aerodynamic efficiency, which affects hybrids more drastically than non-hybrid vehicles. Ford originally used the Fusion Hybrid economy figures for the C-Max Hybrid and claimed the engineers didn't realize that its aerodynamic efficiency would affect fuel economy as much as it did.

Ford ditching Microsoft in favor of BlackBerry QNX for next-gen Sync?

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Ask the average consumer - at least, those who follow the goings-on in the automotive industry - which carmaker they'd most closely associate Microsoft, and the answer you'd most likely get would be Ford. The Blue Oval automaker, after all, was at the forefront of bringing Microsoft technology into cars with its pioneering Sync system, and, though reality didn't turn out as such, Ford's CEO was recently touted as a potential future head of the Redmond-based software giant. But that relationship, according to the latest reports, could be coming to an end.
Alan Mullaly kiboshed the idea of leaving Dearborn for Redmond, but more importantly Ford is tipped to be ditching Microsoft in developing its next-generation Sync system. In its place, Ford is expected to partner with BlackBerry's QNX division.
Now, before you go balking "BlackBerry?! But they're finished!" consider that QNX is (or at least was) an independent entity that Research In Motion (as BlackBerry's Ontario-based parent company was then known) just happened to have bought back in 2010. QNX provides control systems to everything from nuclear power plants and UAVs to automakers like Audi, BMW and Porsche.
