1963 � Ford Galaxie "Slant Back" ... An "R" Code without the "R".
This is the Car...this is the Motor...this is the Drivetrain...that
turned the tide for Ford (vs) Chevy's mighty 409/425hp and Mopar's
Hemi's that controlled NASCAR and the NHRA dragstrips in the early
60's... Ford was getting blown away...so half way thru the model
year Ford introduced a new car designated with the 'R" code...this
427cu in/425hp car turned the tide for Ford...and as they say "The
Rest is History". It's not an official "R" code but has everything
except that little thin piece of metal affixed to the car with an
"R"...plus this car has more features, and in my opinion, is better
than a factory "R" code for pure enjoyment. This car has AC that
the factory didn't offer.... with the compressor mounted where you
can't even see it from above...only from underneath...and blows
COLD. And...the factory didn't offer Disc Brakes on the front with
a Dual Master Cylinder which this car has...both added for safety
and newly installed. * The Black sides are straight as an
arrow...car and paint were restored 8 years ago. * Trim and Chrome
are "as new" and maybe better...with all new correct Badging. * The
Red interior is impeccable. * Underneath is nice and tidy as you
would expect. * Dual Carbs operate as they should... as does the
smooth shifting 4-speed tranny. * Exhaust has a nice
sound...exiting through the original Cast Iron Factory Headers *
The correct, highly-sought-after Wheels, Caps and Tires cost $3,500
alone... comes with a color-matched set of fender skirts. *
Speedometer shows 36,088 miles ... believed to be original. * Own a
piece of history that runs, drives, and handles as it should...
while putting a smile on your face that's difficult to wipe away...
