Fully restored 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. Expertly finished using 100% NOS components, Rangoon Red / Red, 405hp / 448lb-ft 406ci V8, 4-speed manual, Rotunda tachometer, floor shifter, bench seats, power black soft top.
Fully restored with an FE 406 under the hood and a 4-speed manual transmission, this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible is a superb example from the second-to-last year for 2nd generation Galaxie production. This example is believed to have known just three owners since new, with the original local owner keeping stewardship of this Galaxie for over 35 years.
After departing the original owner, this Galaxie underwent an exhaustive, frame-off restoration using all NOS components. It is presented Rangoon Red over a red pleated vinyl interior, with a black vinyl top. Although not original to the car, a 406ci V8 with triple deuces lies under the hood, providing power through a four-speed manual transmission.
This Galaxie showcases one of the finest restorations that we've come across in some time. Bodywork is superb with excellent finish on the Rangoon Red paint, near-perfect gaps and incredible fit with not even so much as a rattle when shutting the doors. The black top is all-new. Painted 15" steel wheels with dog dish covers compliment the finish and top well. Inside, the cabin has features all-new red pleated vinyl upholstery and red carpeting, bench seats, a period-correct 6,000rpm NOS Rotunda steering column-mounted tachometer, AM radio and functioning dash clock.
Included with this Galaxie is an organized binder displaying the original Galaxie brochure, a spare key and maintenance records from the most recent owner's tenure.
This Galaxie is one of the finest restored '60s Fords available anywhere, bar none. It rides & drives excellently and should be considered as an addition to any serious Ford collection. Call 425.562.1000 for more information or stop by the Park Place LTD showroom in Bellevue for a personal viewing.
