Hello. You are bidding on a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. This car was born in Oakland, California, and was equipped with a 352 engine, with a Cruise-o-matic transmission.  The color code for the car was originally Corinthian White with black interior. This car is equipped with factory Select-Air, air conditioning, factory power brakes, and factory power steering. This car is a one owner car. It spent its life in Salinas, California, and was left as an open title in 1995. The car was then brought to Arizona in 1973, and was parked in 1979. I purchased the car in November 2012 from the nephew of the original owner. I will include in the auction all the original documentation that I have for it which includes: the original 1963 California Black and Yellow plate that matches the original 1963 California title, the 1973 Arizona License plate with 1979 tags, a maintenance service record booklet that the original owner had for the Galaxie, and the original owner's manual. The car has current registration and current original 1961 Arizona plates with 1963 tags. 


Okay, now to the fun part: The car was parked in 1979 due to 4 bent rods. The mileage on the odometer when the car was parked is true, and shows 70449. When I purchased the car, I had the motor and transmission completely taken apart and rebuilt. I also had the heads both redone, and upgraded the engine form a 352 to a 390. Everything is new in the engine compartment has been replaced. The car is equipped with a factory 2 barrel carb, but i will include with the auction a date coded 1963 Ford 4 barrel carb which is very hard to find. The original power brakes system was completely rebuilt, and all the brake shoes, hoses, lines and cylinders were replaced. The whole brake system works beyond great, and you can stop on a dime. The complete original power steering system was replaced with new parts and hoses. New ball joints were added to the car, as well as tie rods and other bushings. All new shocks were added to the car also. A new gas tank and sending unit was also added to the car. A new aluminum radiator was also added to the car, but I will include the original one in the auction. The original ac compressor is hooked up, but will need to be charged with R12 coolant; I will include 2 cans that I purchased, but you will need 2 more cans for a full charge. I upgraded the charging system with an alternator. The car has a complete, new dual exhaust system: 2 3/4 inches exhaust with flow masters, an "x" pipe, and NOS exhaust tips. The car was converted to a floor shift style set up, but still has the Cruise-o-matic transmission that was taken apart and resealed. I used an original 1963 Galaxie 4 speed column and collar, as well as the complete 4 speed pedal assembly, and 1960's Ford tachometer. I did this to give the car more of a tougher look, and no one can ever tell the difference. I will include the original Cruise-o-matic column and collar, and power brake pedal if you wish to convert it back. The car has a new windshield, and new front and back windshield gaskets. It also has all new side window weatherstripping, including window sweeps and channel felts. It has new door, trunk, and engine compartment rubbers. All the chrome and stainless is re-chromed or polished. It has Firestone Pie Crust tires, with white walls flipped in, mounted on powder coated gloss black wheels, with restored dog dish poverty caps. The interior of the car was completely redone to original specs and is completely new; it's only 6 months old. I installed a completely hidden cd/Ipod player with hidden speakers; it sounds very nice. The car was equipped with seat belts, but they were badly worn, so I replaced them with new black seat belts, and 1963 black Ford original reproduction floor mats, that are now discontinued. The body on the car is very straight, and has very few imperfections. There are a few dings on the roof, and a couple of screw holes on the passenger side lower rocker, that the original owner put on the car, to pull a dent out. I did no body work to the car. It was painted semi-gloss black, and has a few scratches and paint chips, but is still very nice. The undercarriage of the car is as clean as the outside of the car. It has been cleaned and painted, and the bottom of the floors were painted in red oxide primer. The car has rock solid floors and trunk floor board, as well as solid lower rear quarters and rockers. There is no sign of any body rot. I will include with the car over $15k in receipts and proofs of purchases. There is a lot to list on this car, and I'm sure I have missed some stuff. Long story short, this car gets lots of looks. 

I have the car listed locally, so I have the right to end the auction early. Please feel free to contact me for any more questions or concerns. No scams!!! No b/s!!! No dreamers!!! Am willing to do possible trade for a Prius with low miles, or a 1920-1929 Ford Roadster or coupe hot rod, with cash. I can help with any loading, and I can hold the car for a few weeks if needed.  $1500 non refundable deposit must be made on the car when auction ends, and the car must be paid in full within 24 hours of auction ending. Any overseas buyers need to contact me before bidding on the car, and you must have more than 5 postive feedbacks before bidding. Any questions please contact me. Thank You.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

2013-2017 Ford Explorer recalled over rear suspension issue, again

Wed, Nov 4 2020

Ford is recalling about 375,000 Explorer SUV models built between 2013 and 2017 in North America to fix a potential defect in the rear suspension. In "North America states and provinces where corrosion is common," which we take to mean areas that experience harsh winters and heavily salted roads, "a fracture of the outboard section of the rear suspension toe link" is possible on affected vehicles. Ford says 350,000 of these models were sold in the United States and another 25,200 in Canada. This isn't the first time Explorers of this generation have been recalled for fractured toe links. Back in the summer of 2017, 1.2 million Explorer models were recalled over toe links that could fracture if subjected to "frequent full rear suspension articulation (jounce and rebound)." A little over a year earlier, 75,000 Explorers were recalled over, you guessed it, rear toe links that may not have been welded properly. It's not just Explorers that Ford has recalled over rear toe links. Earlier this year, the automaker issued a recall that covered nearly 230,000 Ford Flex, Taurus and Lincoln MKT models. All of these recalled vehicles ride on similar unibody underpinnings that Ford calls the D4 platform. We can't say whether these other D4-based vehicles will get another recall as the Explorer has. Ford says it is aware of as many as 13 crashes and six injuries attributable to the toe links covered under this most recent Explorer recall. Owners will need to visit their preferred dealership, which will "complete a torque inspection of the cross-axis ball joint and replace it as necessary," according to Ford. Related Video:

Winnebago re-introduces classic Brave RV [w/video]

Fri, Jun 6 2014

Winnebago is saying 'Let's do the time warp again,' using its new Brave RV to do it – have a look at the first Winnebago RV from 1966 and you'll know exactly where this one comes from. The modern version of this swinging sixties motorhome is accurate from its size, either 26- or 27-foot version, to its trademark eyebrow above the front windshield. The foldaway bunk above the front seats that necessitated the eyebrow design has been updated, and is now a power bed that descends from the ceiling. It is among a set of standard features that also includes a 19-foot motorized awning, leveling jacks at all four corners, heated mirrors, LED ceiling lights, two available floorplans and detailing like a workstation for the front passenger, a sliding dash cluster and and a waterfall countertop in the kitchen with built-in extensions. The Brave sits on a Ford F53 chassis complete with its Triton V10 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. No word yet on any potential diesel alternatives. Naturally, that 1966 price of $4,000 will also come in for an update, but the company hasn't yet revealed it. The good folks from Winnebago will be happy to take you on a thorough personal tour of the Brave in the video below. This content is hosted by a third party.
