<\/p>\nReal 1963 1\/2 Ford Galaxie 500 XL “R” code 427 dual Carburetors mated to a four speed manual transmission with 33,xxx miles!

\nThe R-code found its way into the engine bays of just 3,857 vehicles for the shortened 1963 model year, adding stiff $570 to the Galaxie’s $2,730 base price-a premium of 21 percent.<\/p>\n

\nThis car spent most of it’s existence in New Mexico and Arizona and is being sold on a Arizona title. The paint is very nice with a mirror like reflection with a small imperfections from being driven. All of the chrome , trim glass, and bright work is very nice. The body is straight and the fit & finish is superb. The interior appears to be original and shows fantastic with only a few small imperfections. This “R” code is being offered at a fraction of the cost to restore one to this level.<\/p>\n
