1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Additional Info:

This 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 has an awesomely correct color combo, correct 390 Z-code V8 power, and four-on-the-floor. So this hardtop is a factory muscle car before there were muscle cars! The Raven Black paint is factory-correct for this car, but today it retains an excellent gloss and shine thanks to a professional respray with a modern clearcoat. It really helps to highlight the crisp lines of the well maintained sheetmetal. But more than just great paint and... body, the details are correct, too. That's also why the bumpers have a mirror shine; the intricate grille is complete; and the sporty full-length side trim is still race-ready. The package is complete, right down to the insignia trim on the base of the pillarless hardtop. And while Mag wheels were not factory issue back then, they fit with the sporty image of this classic. And they coordinate nicely with the black and brightwork package â€" right down to the details like the Ford logo center caps. Inside, the black returns, and now it's joined by a well-integrated red. The colors are bright and deep, so this gives a great impression of both class and aggression. This is a full-size coupe, and so that means there's plenty of space for family and friends to spread out over the two wide benches. The driver gets the original premium chrome ring wheel, and beyond that is the wide gauge cluster that spans half the dash. While all this has a great factory-style look, you'll also spot the right upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner. And the column-mounted tach goes great with the stick shift. Pop the hood and you'll see that callouts on the fenders were not lying. This is the car has its correct Z-code 390 cubic-inch "Thunderbird" V8. Dressed with polished Thunderbird valve covers and a shining matching air topper, it draws attention to this ideal early '60s powerplant. And you can tell by the newer belts, hoses, and wires that this has received proper care over the years. The V8 fires up nicely as the proper Ford four-barrel carburetor lets the big motor inhale deeply. It exhales with a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. The four-speed manual transmission was a worthwhile upgrade later in life because it gives you full control of the motor and its powerful soundtrack. And because this is built to be a true full-size cruiser, you get nice driving features like power steering, power brakes, and a versatile 3.50 rear end. You're looking at a full size classic coupe with power and poise. That's an unbeatable package at this price, so call today!
