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.

The 11 most expensive American cars ever

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Here's a Pro Tip for all you would-be classic car investors out there: buy Ferraris. With the Pebble Beach festivities kicking off this week, including any number high end car auctions, we thought it would be entertaining to compile a list of some to the most expensive cars ever sold with the bang of a gavel. Trouble is, once you get past the splendor of everyone's favorite Italian sports car maker, that list is pretty boring.
Ferrari dominates the all-time auction sales list; seven of the top ten most expensive cars sold wear the Cavallino Rampante badge, as well as more than half of the top fifty. Sure, a nearly $30-million Mercedes-Benz W196 racecar might be the new top dog as of last year, but it's even possible that Ferrari could take that title back in Monterey this weekend. Long story short: we think a list of the most expensive American cars ever sold at auction is a lot more entertaining to read. Hell, our list has a friggin' Batmobile on it, how can it go wrong?
Follow on below for the top ten cars that are red, white, blue and a whole lot of green.

Ford bringing adaptive steering to the masses [w/video]

Thu, 29 May 2014

Within the next year, Ford will offer a brand-new adaptive steering system (unimaginatively dubbed "Ford Adaptive Steering"), and this week, the automaker invited us out to its proving grounds in Dearborn, MI to get a taste for how its new setup works. In function, Ford's system doesn't greatly differ from the majority of other adaptive steering units already on the market from companies like Audi or BMW, but consider this: Ford will be the first non-luxury automaker to offer this technology, and uniquely, the whole system fits inside the car's steering wheel.
Ford's engineers have worked hard to create a system that can be tacked on to the company's full lineup of cars, trucks and utility vehicles, and says that the adaptive steering will be uniquely tuned for each specific vehicle. The automaker will not confirm exactly which vehicle will launch with this technology, but for the purpose of our preview, we tested the technology in a 2014 Fusion - a vehicle with already-good behind-the-wheel feel, one that the company says best demonstrates its current steering efforts.

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.
