If you wanted a luxury convertible in 1963, this Galaxie 500XL was
the Blue Oval of choice. These cars were very well built and nicely
appointed. The Galaxie's body style was more than a modest upgrade
to the earlier models, but continued to utilize the long hood and
trunk configuration that was prominent in the day. This
meticulously restored 1963 Galaxie 500XL convertible is as nice an
example as you will find. It looks very original, but has serious
performance upgrades. The professional Black exterior respray is in
outstanding condition and there is plenty of chrome front and rear.
Factory steel wheels w/factory XL spinner wheel covers mount
whitewall tires and a pair of classic fender skirts complete the
exterior package. The red vinyl interior looks handsome. This
Galaxie 500XL is nicely equipped with bucket seats, center console
w/shifter and factory AM radio (needs TLC). The beautiful white
convertible top is operated by a power mechanism that works very
well.
The Ford was originally powered by a 352ci FE equipped with a
2-barrel carburetor (X-code). That engine has been replaced with a
427ci 'side-oiler' motor. All components appear to be correct 427
pieces. The block and heads are 1966 vintage (C-6 casting). It is
fitted with a roller cam/roller rockers and exhaust is routed
through cast iron headers. The big FE is mated to Ford's strong
3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The spotless chassis
is equipped with power steering, power drum brakes, coil-over
shocks and stainless dual exhaust. There are few of these full-size
summer cruisers to still be had, and even fewer built like this
one. Your Blue Oval garage deserves this muscular Galaxie 500XL.
