This 1963-1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 is a matching numbers, mostly
unrestored example with one-repaint and a rebuilt motor 1,000 miles
ago. The Corinthian White livery is beautiful over the red
interior. This near original Galaxie needs nothing to be enjoyed.
This Galaxie was acquired by Charles R. Hasley on August 17, 1963
through Bill Doenges Ford in Tulsa, OK. Lonnie McClure acquired the
Galaxie on May 10, 1965 from Denton Easterling Motor Company in
Sapula, OK. Mr. McClure purchased the Galaxie for the amount of
$3,450 and enjoyed it approximately 29 years. Chief Eaton took
ownership of the Galaxie in approximately 1994. Chief Eaton had the
Galaxie repainted in the original color, Corinthian White, and had
the motor rebuilt approximately 1,000 miles ago. The current owner,
David Kammerer, of the Phoenix area, acquired the Galaxie a few
months ago. The livery is a gorgeous repaint in the original 1963
Ford Galaxie color, Corinthian White. The repaint appears to be
somewhat recent due to the luster and shine. The finish has very
few imperfections which are only detectable upon close inspection.
The chrome and bright work are in nice condition with some scuffs,
slight roughness, and minimal issues in the high use areas. The
wheel covers are in nice overall condition and are nicely
complemented by the white wall tires. The trunk is very clean and
detailed and appears to have been rarely utilized. The
undercarriage is clean and rust free and shows well throughout.
Overall, the exterior of this Galaxie is in very nice condition and
would be perfect for shows. The interior is original in red vinyl
and is in nice condition but does show some areas of wear and a
couple of seams that need restitching from normal use over 60
years. The dash presents well overall and the instruments and
gauges function properly apart from the clock. The red carpet is in
nice condition with some slight fading in high use areas. The
headliner is in overall nice condition with one seam that needs
restitching. This Galaxie is well appointed with air conditioning,
power steering and an original dealer front floor mat. The overall
condition of the original interior is a testament to how well
maintained and cared for this Galaxie has been throughout it's
life. The engine compartment is very clean and well detailed. The
289 ci V-8 starts and runs very well due to the professional
rebuild just 1,000 ago. The automatic transmission performs well
and operates smoothly and quietly. The undercarriage is clean and
rust-free. This Galaxie is ready to be driven and shown in local
shows. Accompanying the Galaxie is the Owners Manual, the original
sales invoice, several repair invoices, and numerous original
registration receipts. This Galaxie is a joy to drive and would be
a very nice addition to a Ford or any classic car collection. For
