Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL. This awesome bouleverd cruiser comes to us dressed as it was originally produced, with Corintian White exterior, Red interior, a 352 V-8, a 3-speed Cuise-O-Matic transmission, and a dealer-installed under-dash A/C unit that cranks out cold air. The white paint is a respray in the original color and it's in good driver condition with some chips and touch-ups from having been driven. Chrome and brightwork abound on this top-tier 500XL model and it is largely in driver condition as well. Most still shines well, but there are some areas of fading, some small dings, and some scratches. Minimal imperfections aside, this Ford has a ton of "eyeball" and it looks fantastic in the sunlight. Classy bright elements decorate the front end with fender-top ornaments, FORD lettering on the hood lip, dual side-by-side headlights set in an ornate grille, a gleaming chrome bumper, and a cool Ford crest hood opener at the center. Moving around to the side of this 2-door hardtop you'll see dual chrome side mirrors, body and rocker molding, bright windshield and window trim, and a bright drip rail. Typical of Ford design in this time period, the door handles are integrated into the body side molding - a great look. Both fenders wear "Galaxie 500 XL" badging that looks original. The rear pillars are accented with Galaxie star logo badges and 4" trim pieces where the pillar meets the body. Further accenting the side view are wire wheel covers with knock-off centers & Ford crests - all wrapped in Hankook Optimo H724 white-wall tires. This Galaxie does come with a set of fender skirts in the trunk, but they would need to be repainted to match the quality of paint on the car. Around back, the star of the show are the 10" round rocket-thruster style taillights that give the car a 60's space-age look. Between the taillights is a decorative panel that matches the front grille and offers a gas fill door at the center behind a "500 XL" badge. Further repeating the front end qualities are another chrome bumper and "GALAXIE" lettering across the lip of the trunk. A quick peek underneath reveals a newer gas tank and fresh undercoating.
Lift the hood to find a very clean and bone-stock looking engine bay. At the heart is a 352ci Ford V-8 wearing Ford Blue paint. It's topped off with a stock intake, blue valve covers with Ford logos, a 2-barrel carburetor, and a blue air cleaner with "352 cubic inch" decal. Also present are a newer-looking radiator and shroud, power steering, and a working A/C system. Additionally, this engine was recently treated to a full tune-up and an oil change - so it's running smooth and ready to hit the road. The V-8 is mated to a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission that sends power to a Ford rear end with 3.0:1 gears. Stopping power comes from power 4-wheel drum brakes with a single reservoir. Cast exhaust manifolds lead back to a single exhaust.
Opening the door pops on courtesy lights on both the ceiling and both doors. The door panels are an elaborate mix of red carpet, red vinyl, and bright trim with an armrest and cranks for both windows. Wide Ford sill-plates lead to red hook & loop carpet that welcomes you inside for a comfortable seat. The red vinyl front bucket seats are original in style and feature bright side trim. It appears to us that the seats were re-covered and re-padded at some point and they are still in great condition with no real signs of wear. The rear bench seat is in similarly good condition and the rear side panels match the doors perfectly. Splitting the front buckets is a red center console with chrome touches that offers a storage box and houses the shifter for the automatic transmission. Ahead of the driver is a red OEM steering wheel with a working "XL" horn ring. The wheel frames a 120 mph speedometer that's flanked by gas and temperature gauges in round pods. The odometer reads only 64,454 miles and the title claims those to be actual miles! The red vinyl dash-pad above is intact, but starting to show a little age. Beneath is a bright bezel that runs side to side and houses most all of the controls and accessories: lights, vents, working wipers, lighter, heat & fan, working AM push-button radio, and analog clock (inop.). To the right is a glovebox with "Galaxie 500XL" badging on the door and an original owners manual inside. Mounted under the dash is a dealer-installed "Cust-O-Matic" air conditioning unit that offers ice-cold A/C with a strong fan on demand. Bright A-pillars lead up to a tight white vinyl headliner that leads the eye back to the clean rear package tray. Around the rear in the trunk you'll find a fitted mat, a full spare with factory-style jack, a California duster, Corinthian White touch-up paint, and the aforementioned fender skirts.
If you're looking for a cool classic cruiser that offers style and a whole host of creature comforts without breaking the bank then you're going to love this Galaxie 500XL! It is turn-key ready to hit the road today and take you to cruise-ins, car shows, out for a night on the town, or to just take a leisurely drive in the country! Give our friendly staff a call today - at this price this beauty won't be here for long!
