 She is a beauty!!!!! LOL!!!!  Rare Vintage Gasser!!!!! This no reserve action is for a rusted out 1963 1/2 galaxie 500 2 door hard top fast back R code 427 425 horse power 4 speed rolling shell from Hawaii [ NO ENGINE OR TRANS] still has dash board and back seat and back door panels steering column with after market steering wheel and i think a quick rational standard steering box?  and front suspension with the police interceptor 3 inch wide drum brakes. Drivers side drum is shot with hole in it. See pictures. The back of the frame doesn't look bad from what i can see but the front core support member needs help or maybe can't be fixed but included is a front core support frame section that i cut out of a 1963 1/2 galaxie xl frame.                                                                                                                                                     I will also be installing the rear end and  regular rear springs from that same XL frame to make this a roller.  It wasn't till October that 427 cars got 31 spline axles and this one is a 28 spline so it  would be correct for 427 early cars which this one is.  It still has the door jam tag and cal tags attached and a clean Oregon title. It decodes as. Body= 63 B is 2 door fast back,Color = 1, Gold metallic or better known as champagne, Trim/interior = 95 is Red Red, Date is 12 C = March 12 1963, DSO is 71 = Las Angles, Axel  is 9= 4:11 gears, Trans is 5 = 4 speed trans. Vin # is 3J66R150606.  It also has a NHRA ?championship or national record holder sticker on the drivers side inter fender well. Most of the sticker is currently missing.It also has a Honolulu police sticker police saying this is a reconstructed car on the pass side front window. See pictures.                                                                             Also an alarm sticker. Did the car get stolen and had to be rebuilt. Or is this one of 12 gold light weight cars that got rebuilt with regular parts after it crashed??? I wish i knew the stories it could tell about those 411 gears and how many people say its tail lights at the end of the run???? It appears it might have ran with skinny tires on 15x7 us slot mags that i will have on the front of the car with newer 165 /15 tires that hold air. The wheels have patina like they lived there for 40 or more years.                                                                                                                                 Then there is the special seat belts that were only in the front but that say Superior ind model 985????? Were they race car  seat belts???Not included in sale!!!  And how many cars were ordered with 411 rear ends and for what use????? I wish it could talk and tell me stories!!!!  If any one knows what car it was please help me id it. It came back to the mainland to Portland Oregon and with its friend a light weight car that was thought to be Bonhams car that now houses the original engine trans and rear end out of this car. ? I think it might have some race history and if you know it does please help if not for the car but the people of Hawaii this could be a national treasure not junk!! License number AXX 191 aloha state.                                                                                                                                                                                                           Don't laugh to much! These cars are getting hard to find and people have been known to re body these and with all the proper drive train it is still a R code car in my book. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING PLEASE!!!! What i think i am selling here besides its history is a rebuild able rolling frame with clear title and good vin tag and door jam id tags For a R code 427 425 hp car.  Please don't call and ask how much rust out it has!!! It has a LOT !!!!!!!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          I will help load for transportation purpose but don't want to be any more than 2 hours before charging an additional $25.00 per hour after that.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).

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.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.
