Vehicle Description
For consignment, a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible showing 707 miles, but the true miles are unknown. With a monster stereo system, a push button start, and 20-inch wheels, this mid century classic adapts to the trends of the 21st century and still looks good doing it.
Exterior
Stripped of its trim, its smooth panels now glisten with two stage Candy Red paint, miles deep, and featuring dark red flames, almost ghost-like, that stream down each side of the car. After the paint wows you, it's those 20-inch Eagle Alloy wheels that catch your eye, even the rear one which is tucked up into the fender leaving plenty of polished metal exposed and giving the car a fantastic stance and profile. Out back, the body folds collect the red paint and cast shadows helping define those lines which are flanked by rocket influenced tail lights over a straight chrome bumper and rectangular exhaust tips. Polished windshield trim leads to the black canvas top which is as smooth as silk and houses a plastic rear window. A chip at the wheel opening and a paint run are the only exterior imperfections on this radiant red ride.
Interior
The custom door panels are a sight to behold with a pair of speakers and get this, a pair of monitors built in to each. We go from the 21st century back to 1963 with the split bench in black vinyl with upholstery buttons on their backs, all in nice shape and mirrored by the condition and colors of the rear bench. A Grant steering wheel fronts a custom dash, a black base with metallic flake housing a couple of Pro Comp gauges and yes, a monitor front and center. A larger Pioneer screen is in the center of the dash and a twin pack of gauges fall just under it. On the floor, black loop carpet surrounds the Hurst shifter and more speakers are mounted in the kick panels of the footwells. The trunk is a sound system showpiece with speakers and amps artfully boxed in and the car's battery also resides in the trunk.
Drivetrain
Bold and show quality, the big engine under the hood is a consignor stated 390ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic that routes power to the Ford 9" in back. Chrome and polished metal dominate the bay and braided hoses with AN red metal connectors finish the look.
Undercarriage
Yep, she's looking good under here as well with dual exhaust that travel through the X-frame and intersect Hushmaster mufflers just before giving way to the squarish chrome tips. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in back and power brakes are equipped as front disc and rear drum. Almost no surface rust to speak of here and only bits of residual oil with no signs of active leaks.
Drive-Ability
This Galaxie has a fantastic exhaust note, but we also find the steering tends to not respond and the rear axle randomly locking up. We don't spend a lot of time guessing on this one but do check functions which all check the boxes for operation. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Despite the glitches on our drive, this car presents beautifully. It's sleek and muscular and has a winning paint job and wheel combo. Let's not forget the custom doors, dash, and trunk along with the beautifully appointed engine bay. Pop every opening when you take this to the show because every inch of it is show worthy.
