1963 Ford Galaxie 500

The Ford Galaxie was first released in 1959 by Ford Motor Company and was their full-size car. This model was named primarily to play off of the big “Space Race” that was going on between the Soviets and the United States and although this may be part of their reason for success, the model also proved to be a great buy and could be found in many different price points. From 1960-1964 the same platform was used with some styling changes but the 1963 model year went essentially unchanged from the previous year with the exception of some trim.

The 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 offered here for sale is powered by what appears to be a 289 v8 paired with an automatic transmission. The car spent much of its life in California and remains solid. It is finished in black over a black interior. The seats have recently been recently upholstered and the carpet is new. The headliner is in excellent condition as well. The chrome and trim show some age but are still very presentable the way they are. The Galaxie rides on 235/55 tires on 17 inch aftermarket wheels. Other highlights include AM/FM/Cassette player, owners manual and dash clock. This is a very cool car to get in and drive or would make a good candidate for any type of restoration you wanted to do.
