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!

Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive is a rock star, FedEx tests electric trucks

Thu, Oct 2 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive is in a new music video for I Lived by OneRepublic. The band's singer, Ryan Tedder, has also been brought on as a brand ambassador for the German automaker. OneRepublic will also be performing the song at the Mercedes-Benz Media Night on the eve of the Paris Motor Show. No word if Mercedes plans to offer hordes of screaming teenage fans as an option package with the B-Class Electric Drive. See the video (the car shows up around the four-minute mark) or read more in the press release below. FedEx is testing converted electric delivery trucks with diesel range extenders. Looking to shrink its carbon footprint, the company has converted a handful of trucks as part of a pilot program. In addition to battery packs, each truck is equipped with diesel turbine generators (supplied by Ian Wright's company, Wrightspeed) to provide electricity when the battery is depleted. Because the diesel motors aren't powering the vehicle directly, they can continuously run at their most efficient speed, making the trucks about twice as efficient as those powered by traditional means. Read more at Wired. Ford's new aluminum-bodied F-150 will be 5 to 20 percent more efficient, the company says. The fuel economy gains depend on the particular version of the truck, but the biggest improvement will likely come from the 3.5-liter V6 and the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6. Automotive News predicts the F-150 SFE to be rated at 21 mpg city/28 highway/23 combined, which are identical figures to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. The result could be a noteworthy fuel economy battle between Ford and Ram trucks. Learn more at Automotive News. The US Department of Energy is providing $25 million in funding toward reducing the price of algal biofuels. The goal is to get the price of these renewable fuels below $5 per gasoline gallon equivalent (gge) by 2019, and less than $3 per gge by 2030. The money will fund projects to develop better algal cultures that produce biofuel and other useful bioproducts, and projects to boost biomass productivity. The DOE says it wants to help develop a "bioeconomy" that provides jobs, helps the environment and ensures energy security. Read more at Energy.gov. This content is hosted by a third party.

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Your Mileage May Vary
As difficult as it is to write this, I was actually excited about the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With the beautiful looks of the newest midsize fighter from Ford and a fuel economy estimate capable of shaming even the stalwart Camry Hybrid, the battery-augmented four-door seemed like a recipe for unabashed success. But appearances love nothing more than swapping our boundless enthusiasm for cold platters of disappointment. The 2013 Fusion Hybrid gets hobbled right out of the gate with a lofty price tag, and real-world driving keeps the sedan from even approaching those EPA figures.
With so many excellent midsize hybrids on the market, is there any reason to consider the newest Fusion Hybrid? Are sharp aesthetics, a well-executed interior and capable driving dynamics enough to overcome the machine's shortfalls? Not from where I'm standing.

You can now order Domino's pizza from your Sync-equipped Ford

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

The news keeps pouring in from the Consumer Electronics Show now underway in Las Vegas, and the latest comes from Ford which has announced two new apps for its Sync AppLink system.
First up is a cooperative app launched by Ford together with Domino's Pizza that lets drivers of the former order pizza from the latter right from their car. The service allows those with Ford Sync AppLink in their car or truck and are registered with a Domino's Pizza Profile to place an order for their favorite pie using Dearborn's voice-recognition software for either pickup or delivery. Save your information in your Pizza Profile and it'll be sent to your house without even the push of a button, which strikes us as awesome a use of technology as we've ever seen.
