1963 Galaxie 500 Convertible With 460 V-8 Big Block & Efi, Not A T-bird! on 2040-cars
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, United States
We are selling this, and other cars from our private collection, to downsize as we approach the last decade before retirement. Note: Mileage on Odometer reads 70k+ but is not accurate. The original odometer was non-functioning & was replaced with a odometer from another 1963 Galaxie donor car during rebuild. Vehicle has less than 500 miles on her since rebuild. Trunk with new liner (factory reproduction) & tonneau covers... Battery on the passenger side, in marine style case. Undercarriage:
RESPONSE TO QUESTION CONCERNING WHY WE ARE SELLING: "Dear C****, Thank you for the kind comments on the 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. It is, indeed, a "cool car". My wife & I decided to raise some cash to add to our retirement investments & begin to spend longer weekends enjoying a Class A RV that my wife & I just purchased, dingy towing a Jeep behind. Since we will be on the road more often & not be able to care for our collection, we decided to sell off most of our extensive collection, raising cash for retirement at the same time. We are only retaining a 1934 Ford Tudor, 1957 Chevy Bel Air, 1972 VW Beetle & a 1994 "Ruby" Corvette, each of which one of our children have laid claims on. The '63 Galaxie, our favorite "family" vehicle, was also our largest vehicle. Given that our youngest daughter has just moved away (finally, an "empty nest" after 39 years & 4 children), the odds of once again needing a large 4 seater for events will be nil going forward. The Convertible top, large trunk, powerful engine & the A/C made it a perfect car to take to shows & Street Rod Nationals, which we did quite often, both before & after the rebuild. Great memories... The Galaxie is in top mechanical condition & I feel comfortable driving it anywhere at any time. Engine idles nicely, transmission is tight, car accelerates smoothly & stops well. As items came to my attention for maintenance, they were addressed & resolved in the appropriate manner. Keep in mind that no 50+ year old vehicle is perfect & over time will need to be worked on. If you take care of her, she will be a great addition to your collection, to your family, and to your memories. Best regards, Bart" |

Ford begins testing right-hand-drive Mustang
Wed, 20 Aug 2014Ford has officially kicked off testing of the right-hand-drive variant of its sixth-generation, 2015 Mustang, according to a statement issued by the company, which came with the above photo.
According to Ford, this will mark the first time a right-hand-drive 'Stang has traveled down the company's assembly line alongside its LHD brethren. It is far from the first of the legendary pony cars to feature its wheel on the wrong side, though, as converters in RHD markets across the globe have been making swaps for years.
Ford is planning on using the white, droptop Mustang for RHD development ahead of the car's arrival in the UK, Australia and South Africa, among other markets. Scroll down for the official press blast.
Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
2016 Ford Explorer order guide revealed
Wed, Jan 21 2015The configurator for the refreshed 2016 Ford Explorer is already up and running. However, if you're the type of person that really likes to dig into the nitty-gritty of a vehicle's features, then the order guide for this latest Ford is now available (pictured right). While the documents don't list fuel economy, engine power or pricing, they give a precise idea of all of the differences separating each of the five trim levels: Base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum. In addition to the tweaked styling across the board, even the Base model now features a rearview camera with a washer. There are also three new colors available: Shadow Black, Blue Jeans Metallic and Guard Metallic. Base, XLT and Limited trims are available with either a 3.5-liter V6 or new, optional 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. All of them are mated to a six-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive is optional with either engine. The new Platinum trim basically loads the Explorer up with everything imaginable. Power comes from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, matched with all-wheel drive. Plus, the Platinum trim gets standard luxuries like a dual-pane moonroof, adaptive cruise control, a premium sound system and Ford's super-soft Nirvana Leather covering the seats. There are also some new tech features throughout the rest of the lineup. For example, an updated auto-parking system is also available on the Limited but comes standard on the Platinum. Furthermore, a 180-degree front camera and second-row USB charging are optional on the Sport but are standard on the Limited and Platinum. Check out the gallery for even more of the changes.
