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!

Daimler consulting with Ford about 3-cylinder engines

Mon, 27 May 2013

Soon enough, Ford will offer its 1.0-liter EcoBoost three-cylinder engine under the hood of the Fiesta here in the United States, building on the success of the small powerplant overseas. In fact, this success has caused other automakers to take notice, and according to Automotive News Europe, Daimler is now talking to Ford about this engine for use in its own products.
In other markets, Ford offers the 1.0-liter mill under the hood of the Focus (we had the chance to sample this package on our home turf), as well as the B-Max MPV. For this new collaboration, Daimler would use the turbo-three in the next-generation Smart ForTwo, as well as the Renault Twingo, which the German automaker will be collaborating on as part of its alliance with Renault-Nissan. Speaking to AN, a Mercedes-Benz engineer called the 1.0-liter mill an "interesting and impressive engine."
In exchange for details about the EcoBoost inline-three, Daimler will supply Ford with information regarding its Euro6 stratified lean-burn gasoline engine, which is found in the new E-Class sedan.

Ford says 70% of its models to get stop-start by 2017

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

Ford is following up on a report we posted a few weeks back that the Blue Oval would be adding stop-start technology to its entire model range. Now, the Dearborn-based automaker has announced that the fuel-saving feature would be available on 70 percent of the company's range by 2017.
Ford claims the technology will improve fuel economy by around 3.5 percent, although its actual effect will vary based on how the owner drives - apparently up to a 10-percent improvement is possible for those who sit in heavy traffic (Los Angelenos, this means you). The latest recipient of the technology is the updated 2014 Ford Fiesta with the company's three-cylinder EcoBoost powerplant.
Part of the reasoning for the new addition has to do with cost. Ford claims the tech is affordable and easy to implement. "Simply put, Auto Start-Stop helps customers use less fuel, which is an important component of Ford's Blueprint for Sustainability," Ford's global powertrain vice president, Bob Fascetti, said.

Ford settles class action suit over defective Navistar diesel engines

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

The 2003 Ford F-Series Super Duty (shown above) introduced the 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel supplied by Navistar, and while that is an engine Ford would love to forget, it's now one step closer to putting that particular problem behind it. Automotive News is reporting that Ford has settled a class-action lawsuit brought on by problems with this engine that started right out of the gate and ultimately broke up the 30-year relationship between Ford and Navistar.
Owners and lessees of 2003-2007 Super Duty trucks and E-Series vans equipped with the 6.0-liter Power Stroke are eligible for deductible reimbursements of between $50 and $200 from the original five-year/100,000-mile engine warranty, while Ford is paying out as much as $825 for out-of-warranty engine repairs. These repairs may include the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, EGR valve, oil cooler, fuel injectors and turbocharger, but are only covered if the components failed before six years or 135,000 miles.
In total, Ford has agreed to pay about 50 percent of the value of the repairs and deductibles paid by its customers who submit a claim before the end of this year, and $150,000 is going to the 16 named plaintiffs in the case; Navistar was not included in the lawsuit.
