Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this
1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback, a striking full-size classic
finished in Rose Beige with a matching Rose Beige interior.
According to the consignor, the exterior retains its factory color
and the interior remains in its OEM-style presentation. With its
long, flowing body lines, sweeping fastback roofline, bright chrome
trim, and unmistakable early-1960s Ford styling, this Galaxie
carries a refined presence from every angle.
Under the hood is a 351 Y-Block V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic
transmission. The consignor represents the engine, transmission,
and rear differential as original to the vehicle. The engine bay
also features cast-steel headers represented as factory-original,
chrome factory "Thunderbird" valve covers, and a Ford three-deuce
carburetor setup represented as original. Together, these
components give the Galaxie a strong period-correct appearance and
make the engine bay every bit as interesting as the exterior.
Several thoughtful updates have been made with drivability in mind.
An aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan helps manage
engine temperatures, while the generator has been replaced with a
chrome alternator. A new exhaust system gives the Y-Block the
proper classic Ford soundtrack. Factory power steering helps make
this full-size cruiser easier to maneuver, while the factory-style
air-conditioning system includes an under-dash air handler.
Inside, the Rose Beige interior complements the exterior
beautifully and gives the cabin a distinctive period appearance.
The consignor represents the interior as OEM and the radio as
original to the car. Digital gauges provide updated information for
the driver while blending into the classic cabin layout.
From its consignor-represented original 351 Y-Block, transmission,
rear differential, and three-deuce carburetor setup to its
factory-color Rose Beige presentation, this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL
Fastback brings together vintage Ford style, period character, and
carefully selected updates. Some NOS parts and replaced components
are also included with the vehicle.
