1963 Ford 427 Dual Quad Galaxie 500 XL Sport Hardtop
Why This Car Is Special
If you are a big block Ford performance fan you will know and get
excited about this 1963 Ford 427 Dual Quad Galaxie 500 XL Sport
Hardtop we have here at Skyway Classics with factory documentation
that shows it was ordered with a 4-speed transmission and an X-code
352 cubic inch engine.
It now runs a period correct Medium Riser 427 cubic inch, dual quad
powerhouse reminiscent of the early Ford muscle cars in the early
60's that saw the rise of drag-strips and circle track racing.
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. And that is what we have in our 1963
Ford.

Our 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 has a big block, period correct, Medium
Riser 427 cubic inch dual quad engine under the hood topped by a
two 4-barrel performance carburetor system topped with the finned
aluminum 427 open element air cleaner, aluminum intake, chrome 427

It is shifted by the 4-speed manual gearbox that handles the big
block's horsepower and out the HD rear end. The undercarriage shows
the details like the dual exhaust, and H.D. suspension as it rides
on factory black painted steel wheels and poverty hubcaps with

The interior has a lot of originality and looks so good with the
black twin bucket seats and matching rear full seat, floor console
with 4-speed shifter, black carpets, chrome-accented door panel,
factory black steering wheel, as well as the dash with all the
factory gauges, pushbutton radio, tachometer, and accessory gauges

Exterior
Our Ford is painted in Ford Raven Black and looks as sinister as it
did back in 1963, but the glossy black paint is surely worlds
better than it was back then.
Brightwork includes dual door-mounted mirrors, side trim, and
bumpers, and 427 fender badges look sharp. It looks just as much of
a sleeper car today as it would have back then.
Ford gave this car great styling with crisp lines and those big,
round tail lights that reflected the '60s enthusiasm for the jet
age.
Even the trunk looks as new with the correct mats and full size
spare tire with its own cover.
