Vehicle Description
This is the era when the coupes were big, fast, and brilliant. This
1963 Ford Galaxie 500 is an ideal mixture of luxury and performance
with big block power and cold blowing air conditioning... all
wrapped in a vintage fastback body built for cruising.
Those who know Fords, know how special this car is. 1963 was the
first year Ford had a little fun with aerodynamics, and they
introduced the fastback roofline to better compete in NASCAR. This
seems to represent that speedy history perfectly with a glossy
presentation of the factory-correct Rangoon Red. And the addition
of a two-tone presentation gives the special roofline even more
distinction. Owning a V8 Galaxie 500 was about showing off Ford's
top-of-the line, and that's seen in great brightwork on places like
the double strips that run the full length of the car, concave
grille, wraparound bumpers, and jet-inspired taillights. In fact,
this car has all looks like a great factory-correct appearance,
except the wheels. Those modern Ford alloys are a cool upgrade, and
they signal that this classic coupe has been updated in the right
places.
Open the door, and this Galaxie is wall-to-wall red to match the
exterior. And there's also some great white accenting, just like
the outside, too. So this total package makes a great first
impression. This level of care is fantastic to see in the
top-of-the-line, full-sized Ford. There's plenty of great bright
trim incorporated into the weave of the door panels and seats,
which makes this a very cool place to send some time. As a
family-sized car of the '60s, you'll have no trouble fitting five
family or friends comfortably. Plus, upgrades like the ice-cold
modern R134a air conditioning ensures everyone will want to go for
a ride no matter the time of year. But even if you're driving all
alone, this Ford provides lots of appeal. You start with an
upgraded Grant GT sports steering wheel. Beyond that is the wide
gauge cluster that spans half the dash. It includes a massively
long speedometer flanked by two barrel style gauge clusters. And
once you spot the auxiliary readout trio, you'll start to realize
there's something quite nice in the engine bay.
Pop the hood and you'll see that callouts on the fenders were not
lying. This is a Z-code car, and so we're happy to see the correct
390 cubic-inch displacement under the hood. Dressed with bright
valve covers and matching air topper, it's the ideal early '60s
powerplant. A motor this size has no trouble giving this full-size
Ford some real get-up-and-go, and the dual exhaust makes a powerful
sound without losing this car's cruising attitude. Plus, this
Galaxie's three-speed Crusie-O-Matic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes make the total package quite comfortable going
down the road. This is further heightened by modern drilled and
vented front disc brakes as well as Michelin tires at each
corner.
Complete with build receipts and maintenance records, this coupe is
the complete package of fast with class. And at an affordable price
like this, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home.
