For Sale at Auction: 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL convertible is a factory G-code example powered by its original 406ci V8 engine rated at 405hp and equipped with three 2-barrel carburetors, an engine option offered during the 1963 model year before the introduction of the 427. Power is delivered through a BorgWarner T10 4-speed manual transmission that has been rebuilt using NOS Ford internal gears and components, backed by a factory 4.11 rear axle with an Equa-Lock differential. The interior has been fully restored to original factory specifications, including period-correct materials and details, and is equipped with a Rotunda 8,000-rpm tachometer and Ford oval script metal-to-metal seat belts offered for 1963. The exterior retains its original structure with no history of rust, and the car received a selective restoration focused on factory correctness, including the installation of NOS body trim components and professional refinishing of chrome and stainless trim where required. Additional factory and period-correct equipment includes five original K&H 15x5.5-inch high-performance steel wheels, original 1963-1964 XL wheel covers, a Ford dealer engine dress-up kit with chrome components and NOS Ford accessory bumper guards. The car was assembled at Ford's Los Angeles, CA, assembly plant and originally delivered to Phoenix, AZ, under DSO 75, later residing in California and Florida prior to acquisition by the current owner in 1998, who has maintained it in a temperature-controlled indoor environment. Documentation includes prior ownership records, original magazine features, owner manuals, an original 1963 Ford Galaxie brochure, a convertible top boot, extra keys and a VHS recording from its 1998 offering. 54,500 actual miles.
