Vehicle Description
This 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 has been done exactly how you want it.
That means a strong-running 390ci V8, a terrific color combo,
classic style, and an AC interior. And as you look at the full
package, you can tell this hardtop was restored with the kind of
care you would have done if you had the extra time to do it
right.
The trim tag tells us this is a factory Raven Black car, and the
first place you can tell there was a solid restoration investment
is with this finish. It has the kind of slickness that makes this
full-size coupe look like a grand piano for the road. Another
reason why we love the black is that it's the ideal backdrop to
make all the brightwork stand out even more. You see it up front
how the mirror-like bumper was built to neatly complement the lines
of the full-width grille. In the rear, the afterburner-style
taillights are contoured into the intricate rear trim. Along the
side, the full-length trim does a cool C-channel that emphasizes
how long this road king is. And this one really is complete, right
down to the factory-style spinner hubcaps with bias-ply whitewall
tires. So it looks like a rolling time capsule.
A red interior always looks great against the black. This is the
factory-correct color, but just like the exterior, you can tell
there have been good investments to give it a vintage look but with
a fresher feel. It's in everything from door panels with bright
trim to the working dome lights. And we especially love the look of
the seats that are complete, right down to the embedded trim and
contrast piping that match the headliner. A thoughtful restoration
also means making this car a better cruiser. So you have
well-integrated features, like a classic FM supplemental receiver
under the dash and a vintage-style air conditioning unit blowing
cold with modern R134a refrigerant. This just seems to have the
right atmosphere where you can roll down all the windows on this
pillarless hardtop, grab the classily thin steering wheel, and hit
the gas to comfortably cruise all day long.
The engine bay continues the time capsule kind of style. You see it
even in details like the classic FoMoCo washer fluid bag and all
the cool decals. The big 390 cubic-inch V8 is the correct
displacement for this coupe, and it also has a proper four-barrel
carburetor on top. This powerhouse has an attractive golden glow
from the air grabber and valve covers that radiate within the clean
and dark inner walls. And more than just look clean, the way this
one eagerly fires up and runs so smoothly is a sure sign of quality
care. It feels solid on the road thanks to newer front coils, power
steering, and a three-speed automatic transmission.
This is the sleek and solid hardtop classic cruiser with the right
investments to keep it fun in modern times. So don't miss this
deal. Call today!!!
