Description for Ford Galaxie 1963
THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this cool classic 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL coupe!
Finished in bright teal blue metallic over white, this groovy 53 year-old classic cruiser sports a good running V8 [I am told it is a 289 cubic inch]engine mated to the automatic transmission. The working five-digit odometer shows 95,500 miles though I cannot verify the actual miles on this car which features refinished exterior paint, wire wheels with decent rubber, bucket seats with console and floor shifter. It is being sold with clear and clean California title in hand and current registration offered here at NO RESERVE!
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this classic Fprd is in good, what appears to be nearly 100% rust-free condition with no noticeable bubbles or corrosion areas. I do not have the history as to when this car was repainted though it has a very nice overall shine. The bumpers have some pitting and fading and new trim needs to be installed. I do have some of the old pieces and clips that will be included in the sale though look to be unusable to me.. Inside the trunk are and underneath the car are both fairly dry and clean. I see this car as a great solid foundation to complete details while driving as it is.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this old Ford is a mixed bag. The odometer, lights and blinkers function, the seat upholstery has been redone, the headliner, dash and carpets are in respectable condition. Conversely, the door panels and trim pieces are quite tattered, the horn does not work, the steering wheel shows deterioration.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1963 Galaxie starts easily with strong running engine. The transmission shifts ok but best shifted manually it seems. The car stops well and straight but sometimes one or more of the brakes seem to drag. The power steering has expected play but the car goes down the road well. I can send a running driving video to those interested.
