Production number 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 500 that stole the show. Appearing as a
1963� model, the 500 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 investment
car and a Great one is all about the little things of major
importance, like the accuracy of 'born with' components right down
to the paint, crayon, and chalk markings during assembly
inspections. Very Limited Built and not many have survived with
this pedigree... Well deserved of being called 'The SledgeHammer'
