Vehicle Description
1963 Ford White Galaxie 500
Why This Car Is Special
The early 60's saw the rise of drag-strips and circle track racing
and American auto manufacturers were finding out that the more
cubic inches and pure horsepower they could put is muscle cars, the
more they would win on the racetrack and the street, hence the more
of these cars they could sell.
A late production run of 1963 427 Dual Quad Galaxie 500's was Fords
answer to the formidable 1963 Chevrolet 409 Dual Quad Impala
version and with both rated at 425 horsepower and the fight was
on.
We have a 1963 Galaxie 500 2dr Sports Roof Fastback here at Skyway
Classics with that engine combo in it that makes it a super car in
Ford history.
Mechanical
Our 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 has what appears to be a big block 427
cubic inch engine under the hood topped by dual Holley 4-barrel
carburetors, Cobra finned aluminum valve covers and 427 Thunderbird
emblem air cleaner, full length tube headers, and sits in a very
period correct clean, painted, and detailed engine compartment.
The 4-speed manual gearbox handles the big block's horsepower and
out the H.D. rear. The undercarriage shows the details like the
dual exhaust, and H.D. suspension as it rides on period correct
black painted wheels with factory chrome hubcaps and blackwall
tires.
Interior
The red bench seat interior is equally nice. The twin red buckets
is sharp and the driver's compartment is as new including the
carpets, chrome-accented red door panel, sporty black steering
wheel, and the 4-speed shifter.
The dash has the factory gauges, AM/FM radio, clock, nice stainless
trim, Autometer tach and accessory gauges, and black Galaxie 500
floor mats.
Exterior
Our Ford is painted in Ford Factory Code M Corinthian White and
looks just as much of a sleeper car today as it would have back
then.
The body panels look straight and the doors close solid, the chrome
and stainless trim is shiny, and the Galaxy 500 emblems on the
front fenders as well as the trim and glass looks great.
Conclusion
This white 1963 Galaxie 500 2dr we have here at Skyway Classics
with its big block power and 4-speed would have been one of the
fastest Fords available in its day.
If you want a big block big body Ford muscle car, this is the car
