STK 3912 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL
If you wanted a luxury convertible in 1963, this Galaxie 500XL was the Blue Oval of choice. These cars were very well built and nicely appointed. The Galaxie's body style was more than a modest upgrade to the earlier models, but continued to utilize the long hood and trunk configuration that was prominent in the day. This meticulously restored 1963 Galaxie 500XL convertible is as nice an example as you will find. It looks very original, but has serious performance upgrades. The professional Black exterior respray is in outstanding condition and there is plenty of chrome front and rear. Factory steel wheels w/factory XL spinner wheel covers mount whitewall tires and a pair of classic fender skirts complete the exterior package. The red vinyl interior looks handsome. This Galaxie 500XL is nicely equipped with bucket seats, center console w/shifter and factory AM radio (needs TLC). The beautiful white convertible top is operated by a power mechanism that works very well.
The Ford was originally powered by a 352ci FE equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor (X-code). That engine has been replaced with a 427ci 'side-oiler' motor. All components appear to be correct 427 pieces. The block and heads are 1966 vintage (C-6 casting). It is fitted with a roller cam/roller rockers and exhaust is routed through cast iron headers. The big FE is mated to Ford's strong 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The spotless chassis is equipped with power steering, power drum brakes, coil-over shocks and stainless dual exhaust. There are few of these full-size summer cruisers to still be had, and even fewer built like this one. Your Blue Oval garage deserves this muscular Galaxie 500XL. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
