1963 Ford Galaxie 500

Description

This 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 has the right kind of style you want in a true cruiser. Bright paint, bright chrome, proper V8 power, and some added fun from a four-speed mean this is the icon that you'll love from day one.

There's an instant attraction to this car because it gets all the classic elements right. After all, the factory-correct Rangoon Red was resprayed later in life to make sure it looks vibrant from the moment it leaves your garage. And the black vinyl roof is a great way to draw attention to the iconic hardtop profile. Plus, you have brightwork in all the best places. This includes the extra-wide chrome bumpers, full-width grille, dual ornaments on the front fenders, and full-length C-channel side trim. The wire wheel covers, whitewall tires, and rear fender skirts show off a great classic cruiser attitude. And the polished dual exhaust tips are a sure sign of a V8 coupe. So it really has that ideal classic style that loves to own the boulevard.

The red interior means this has a full red package inside and out, and that's always attractive on hardtops. The trim tag even says this was born this way. And we like the detailed style from the working interior lights to the bright trim in the seatbacks. So this one likes to look quite vintage, and they even added a retro-style AM/FM radio to upgrade the driving music without taking away from the vintage atmosphere. In fact, the places where you'll most likely see this deviate from stock are directly related to upgrading the driving experience. This includes a Hurst floor shifter, upgraded tach, and a well-placed auxiliary gauge trio.

Under the hood is Ford's 289 cubic-inch V8. It has a true stock style with bright white valve covers, a matching air grabber with callout, FoMoCo tags, and classic Ford stampings on the components. The motor fires up eagerly, and it has a nice road-ready smoothness. We all know some easy weekend upgrades to unlock extra power from a legendary small block like this, but even right now, you can feel this is a good cruiser. And you take full control of it all with the four-speed manual transmission.

This is a very vintage red-on-red hardtop with a truly terrific cruiser style. So when you want a full-size coupe that knows how to get noticed, call today!
