DETAIL, AND ACCURACY.. 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 R-Code Back in 1963,
Ford was about to become the performance king both on the track and
in the showroom, with its legendary rated 425 horsepower, 427ci big
block V8 with dual four-barrel carburetors (real dyno numbers
showed 508 hp) available in its Thunderbirds, Galaxies, and
Fairlanes. Of the cars fitted with the new powerplant, it was
Ford's full size Galaxie 500XL that stole the show. Appearing as a
1963� model, the 500XL was based on Ford's newest NASCAR efforts
and proved to be an instant sales success. Ford built 18,551
Galaxie 500XLs in 1963, Built fewer than 100 Galaxies that had the
R-code engine What makes a difference between a good collector

inspections. Very Limited Built and not many have survived with

full-size Ford is the automotive equivalent of a sledgehammer. Take
