For sale is a fun to drive and reliable 1963 Ford Galaxie 500. This is is the most enjoyable classic car I have ever owned to take out and cruise around in. The car has power everything: brakes, steering, windows, seat, door locks and A/C. The car has a powerful, torque monster 390 cubic inch V8 paired with a Cruise a Matic transmission and a Ford 9" differential with 3.25 gears. The car has high performance exhaust manifolds, similar to headers except they are cast, and a performance dual exhaust with H pipe.

Mechanical: The engine and transmission run just like they should. They only have 7,000 miles on them since complete rebuild. The car has drum brakes at all corners and when stopping if you really get on the brakes the car will pull a little to the left. Drum brakes will almost always do this no matter how many times you have them turned or worked on.

Body: The body is rust free and is wearing a paint job completed in June of 2013. All the body panels are straight and there is no evidence that the vehicle has ever been wrecked or had significant rust problems. There is one area of imperfection on the body work that is on the passenger side under the rear door, the pictures show it. This was the only area that needed any body work before paint and needless to say it did not get fixed 100%. It is not evident unless you squat down or the light hits it just right. Other than that the body and paint are in excellent condition. Underneath the car it is evident that the vehicle has been taken care of seeing how little rust there is. Take a look at the pictures underneath and you can see that it is nothing that cannot be wire brushed off. These vehicles were built like Sherman tanks, look at how huge the frame rails are! As it sits this is a 5,000 lb vehicle.

Electrical: The power seats do work, they go back and forth but not up and down. Of the power windows only the driver side works. The other three need to have the motors rebuilt which is around 90$ per window after parts and labor. The power locks and radio do not work. All the other lights, gauges, etc do work.

Interior: The interior of the car is in good shape for being original. There are two obvious areas on the front and rear bench seats that can be fixed. Take a close look at the pictures and you can see that they are not tears but are separations in the stitching of the seat. The headliner is in good condition and the door panels are in acceptable condition for being original.

When doing the final parts of this restoration I decided not to chrome the bumpers. I had an idea that to better match the cruiser theme and the aluminum side moldings that powder coating the bumpers an aluminum color would fit well, and it did. Every time I look at the car the bumpers grow more on me. The whole theme of this build was an understated cruiser that would catch the eye driving by and get a lot of looks sitting still.

Here is a short video of the car. Sorry but the video is rotated and you'll be turning your head to watch it.

2015 Ford C-Max gets a corporate nose job [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Ford might not have the splashiest booth here at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, but the automaker is showing off quite a bit of hardware that will actually end up on roads across Europe. Parisians are no doubt tickled at getting to see the specifications of the Mustang tuned for The Continent (which has a revised suspension for European roads, and a few visual nips and tucks), in addition to the revised face of the family-friendly C-Max.
As you can see, C-Max styling has been revisited with a deft touch, grafting Ford's six-sided corporate grille on the nose, in place of the outgoing car's two-part affair. New headlights can also be found on the car's revised front fascia, though the rear end of the C-Max looks only slightly different than the current version.
Inside the cabin, Ford has consolidated controls and upped the ante in terms of material quality, with "black satin" and chrome details and more storage capacity, overall. Grocery-lugging moms and dads everywhere should appreciate the hands-free liftgate feature, as well.

Weekly Recap: Auto execs face life in prison for recall delays under proposed legislation

Sat, 09 Aug 2014

The stiff punishments are part of broader transportation legislation, but clearly McCaskill has automakers in her sights.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill threw down the gauntlet this week, proposing a bill that could send auto executives to prison for life if they were found to have delayed a recall. She also wants to eliminate the limit for fines for auto safety violations, which are currently capped at $35 million.

Ford partnering with MIT, Stanford on autonomous vehicle research

Fri, 24 Jan 2014

Ask any car engineer what's the biggest variable in achieving fuel economy targets, and he'll tell you "the driver." If one human can't understand human driving behavior enough to be certain about an innocuous number like miles per gallon, how is an autonomous car supposed to figure out what hundreds of other drivers are going to do in the course of a day? Ford has enlisted the help of Stanford and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to find out.
Starting with the automated Fusion Hybrid introduced in December, MIT will be developing algorithms that driverless cars can use to "predict actions of other vehicles and pedestrians" and objects within the three-dimensional map provided by its four LIDAR sensors.
The Stanford team will research how to extend the 'vision' of that LIDAR array beyond obstructions while driving, analogous to the way a driver uses the entire width of a lane to see what's ahead of a larger vehicle in front. Ford says it wants to "provide the vehicle with common sense" as part of its Blueprint for Mobility, preparing for an autonomous world from 2025 and beyond.
