1963 Ford Other Additional Info:
1963 GALAXIE 500 XL CONVERTIBLE. FACTORY 4 SPEED. BUCKETS AND CONSOLE.
THIS IS A VERY NICE DRIVER CAR. IT JUST PASSED MISSOURI SAFETY INSPECTION AND IS LICENSED. THIS IS OUR CAR, TITLED IN OUR NAME. WE ARE NOT DEALERS OR ANYTHING OF THAT ILK. I LIGHTLY RESTORE A CAR EVERY FEW YEARS AS MENTAL THERAPY :) USUALLY PAINT AND SUCH. I ALWAYS BUY SOLID NICE DRIVING CARS TO START WITH SO THAT MAKES THE HOBBY LESS LIKELY TO CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR WILL TO LIVE. OK...NICE DRIVER, KEEP READING. NEED A PEBBLE BEACH RIBBON. STOP HERE.
ENGINE. NICE RUNNIN, NO SMOKING. NICE EXCELLERATION. ITS A 352 AND APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL. MY OPINION I, ITS BEEN REBUILT. GOOD TORQUE, BUT YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ON THE "LIST" ON STREET OUTLAWS. RUNS LIKE A STOCK FORD. THE 4 BBL AND INTAKE ARE NEWER. OBVIOUSLY THATS NOT STOCK.
EXHAUST. NEWER. HAS NEWER HEADERS. NICE ONES. SOUNDS GREAT.
EXTERIOR. NEW PAINT. I DID IT. I KNOW WHAT IM DOING. ITS ALL PPG PRODUCTS. ITS 4 STAGE CUT, 3 STAGE BUFF. TRUST ME YOU WONT BE EMBARRASED TO BE SEEN DRIVING THIS. BODY IS STRAIGHT. NICER THAN MOST. GAPS ARE PROBABLY BETTER THAN NEW. THE COLOR IS ORIGINAL. I REPLACED DOOR WEATHERSTRIPPIN, THE PICTURE SHOWS OVERSPRAY ON THEM. THAT ALL BEEN REPLACED PROPERLY WITH NEW. THAT WAS TAKEN BEFORE CAR WAS DISASSEMBLED FOR PAINT.
INTERIOR. NICE. FRONT SEATS NEED NEW COVERS, AS THERE ARE A COUPLE SEAMS SEPERATED. 400.00 AT MACS AUTO FOR PERFECT REPLACEMENTS. THE REST OF THE INTERIOR IS NICE DRIVER.
GLASS. ALL GOOD. ONE SMALL STAR IN WINDSHIELD NOT IMPARING. ALL APPEARS ORIGINAL.
TOP. NEWER. NOT ORIGINAL. NICE. NEW PARADE BOOT. (BLUE)
UNDERSIDE. SOLID. PAINTED AS YOUD SEE A NEWER CAR. SOME MINOR SURFACE RUST IN SPOTS. NICER THAN MOST.
TRIM AND BUMPERS. ALL NICE EXCEPT FRONT BUMPER....ITS NOT DENTED BUT ITS WEARY AND NOT SHINEY AS NEW. THE REAR IS REAL NICE SIDE TRIM ISNT PERFECT BUT ITS NICER THAN MOST.
TRANSMISSION. ORIGINAL 4 SPEED SHIFTS AND FUNCTIONS LIKE A BORG WARNER 4 SPEED SHOULD.
BONDO. I THINK I USED ABOUT 1/5 OF A QUART TO MASSAGE A COUPLE DING REPAIRS. MOST OF IT SANDED OFF. IN OTHER WORDS....I DIDNT USE A BOAT PADDLE AND A KIDDIE POOL TO MIX IT LIKE SOME HILLBILLY ROOB. THIS IS A NICE SOLID STRAIGHT CAR....( or I wouldnt of bought it myself ). ALL CARS HAVE SOME PLASTIC, I ASSURE YOU.
TIRES, WHEELS. NEW. I WENT WITH A NASCAR LOOK BECAUSE EVERY CAR OUT THERE HAS TORQ THRUST WHEELS ON IT. YAWN. IN 1963 THE GALAXIE WAS A BAD MOTHER...SHUT YOUR MOUTH..IN NASCAR. PLUS I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT.
OVERALL. THIS IS A NICE CAR. YOU GET IN IT...YOU DRIVE. YOU ENJOY. EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE CLOCK WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THERES A STEREO MOUNTED UNDER PASSENGER SEAT WITH REMOTE. ITS 54 YRS OLD. IM SURE AT SOME POINT YOUR GONNA HAVE TO TINKER. BUT I WOULDNT BE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT HUNDREDS OF MILES.
THIS CAR IS SUPER RARE. FOUR SPEED CONVERTIBLE WITH CONSOLE. GO FIND ANOTHER ONE. ITS REAL. DECODE THE DATA PLATE. I KNOW IT WAS SOLD NEW IN FLORIDA.
OK....INTERESTED? GREAT. BID WITH CONFIDENCE. THE CAR, NOR ITS TITLE ARE LEAVING HERE UNTIL CAR IS FULLY FUNDED...CASH...BANK TRANSFER. WHATEVER. THE TITLE IS CLEAR....ITS IN MY AND WIFES NAME. I DONT WANT TO TRADE. I WANT TO FIND A NICE HOME FOR THIS AND THEN NEXT YEAR MAYBE ILL BUY ANOTHER. MAYBE NOT...GOOD CARS ARE HARD TO FIND.
THE RESERVE IS REASONABLE. I WILL MAKE A PROFIT, BUT THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR YOU TO IMPROVE THE CAR AND STAY UPRIGHT ON VALUE. IF SOMEONE "SHOWS US THE MONEY" I WILL END THE AUCTION FASTER THAN MSNBC CAN FIND SOMETHING TO BITCH ABOUT REGARDING TRUMP.
OUR EBAY RATING IS STELLAR. WE INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY. I WILL BE PAINFULLY HONEST WITH YOU. WE EXPECT THE SAME IN RETURN.
I WILL BEND OVER BACKWARDS FOR YOU IF YOU NEED CAR SHIPPED TO SEE THAT IT GETS LOADED PROPERLY. YOU, HOWEVER...WILL PAY FOR SHIPPING.
