Vehicle Description
This 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 sports hardtop is a true factory R-code
car. It is powered by a factory-original date-code-correct 427ci V8
engine, along with a dual 4-barrel carburetor. The car is commonly
referred to as a 1963-1/2, due to the mid-year inclusion of the
engine. The engine, the highest horsepower engine available for the
model year, is factory-rated at 425hp and 480 ft/lbs of torque.
Power is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission connected to a
3.50-gear rear end. This Galaxie received a professional rotisserie
restoration to its original color combination, consisting of a
Champagne exterior over a Light Gold (Champagne) interior. The
restoration earned it multiple honors, including the 2022 Carlisle
Ford Nationals Celebrity Choice award and the 2017 Goodguys Ford
Muscle Pick award. The sale includes receipts and restoration
photos. ** PREVIEW
