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" |

Your official Ford Transit specs are here, $29,565* to start
Wed, 04 Jun 2014Ford has released the full list of pricing and specs on its new Transit, the replacement for the long-lived E-Series cargo van. Prices are set to start at $29,565 and can increase rapidly from there, depending on length, engine and wheelbase, among other options.
Let's talk first about those new engines. The base is the familiar 3.7-liter, naturally aspirated V6. It boasts 275 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can return up to 14 miles per gallon in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. This engine can also be adapted to run on LPG or compressed natural gas. Of course, there are better alternatives, for a price, the first of which is Ford's well-received, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6. It packs 310 hp and a best-in-class 400 lb-ft of torque (available at just 2,500 rpm) while matching the naturally aspirated engine in both city and highway fuel economy.
Then, there's the diesel. With a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel mill at its disposal, the Transit generates 350 lb-ft between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm, along with 185 hp. This engine hasn't been rated by the EPA, although we'd be really, really surprised if it didn't handily best either of the gas-powered engines in fuel efficiency. A six-speed automatic is standard, regardless of engine.
Chip Ganassi Racing switches to the Ford EcoBoost-powered Riley Daytona Prototype
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates (CGRFS) announced yesterday at Ford's SEMA press conference that it will field a Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype with the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 in the 2014 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). CGRFS is the second team to commit to the new Ford-Riley car, behind Michael Shank Racing (which has already used the racecar to break a 26-year-old top-speed record at Daytona International Speedway).
"Over the last 10 seasons we have been able to experience a great deal of success in Grand-Am," Chip Ganassi says, "and now with the dawn of the new United SportsCar Championship we feel that Ford power will be a key ingredient to writing the next chapter of our sports car program."
In the last Grand-Am season, CGRFS raced a BMW-Riley Daytona Prototype. The team has won seven Daytona Prototype championships, all in the past ten years. Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas return as the team's prototype co-drivers, and will attend their maiden race in the Ford-Riley at the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
Ford celebrates 1 millionth Mustang built at Flat Rock
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Yesterday, the Ford Mustang turned 49 years old, and Ford didn't miss the opportunity to celebrate the one millionth version of the Mustang rolling off the assembly line at the Flat Rock Assembly plant. Production of the Mustang at Flat Rock coincided with the fifth-generation design launching in 2004, and the one millionth car was the car shown above, a 2014 GT convertible painted in Ruby Red.
In total, Ford has sold more than 8.5 million Mustangs since the original car went on sale, but some of the key milestones over the car's nine years at Flat Rock include the Shelby GT-H, Bullitt, Boss 302 and, of course, the 662-horsepower Shelby GT500. Scroll down for a press release celebrating Flat Rock's milestone Mustang.
