Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this
1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Convertible, finished in Rose Beige over a
Rose Beige interior with a matching Rose Beige convertible top.
This full-size Ford combines distinctive early-1960s styling with a
substantially upgraded drivetrain and a long list of performance
components.
Under the hood is a rebuilt 390 V8 featuring Edelbrock Performer
cylinder heads, a Comp Cams 422-11 roller camshaft, forged pistons,
ARP head bolts, a Cloyes dual-row timing set, upgraded valve-train
components, and a polished air cleaner. Fuel is supplied through a
factory-style triple 2-barrel carburetor setup and intake manifold.
Additional upgrades include factory cast headers, a 2.5-inch
exhaust with electric cutouts, an aluminum radiator with an
upgraded electric fan, electronic ignition and distributor, an
electric fuel pump, and a chrome alternator.
Backing the 390 is a Borg Warner 4-speed manual transmission. The
drivetrain also features a 3.00 Positraction rear end, oversized
axle shafts, and new power brakes. Lower control-arm pivot bushings
have also been upgraded with a pivot kit. Factory power steering
helps retain the comfortable road manners expected from a
Galaxie.
Inside, the Rose Beige interior features an original radio, digital
gauges, an under-dash air-conditioning unit, electric white
convertible top, and Rose Beige top cover. The car also features a
factory power driver's seat and chrome Thunderbird-style valve
covers under the hood. Some NOS and replaced parts are included
with the vehicle.
With its rebuilt 390 V8, triple-carburetor induction, Borg Warner
4-speed, Positraction rear end, and distinctive Rose Beige
presentation, this Galaxie 500XL brings together classic Ford
convertible styling and an extensive list of mechanical
upgrades.
