"1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2 Door Fastback
""While the mid size muscle cars have shot into the collector stratosphere in recent years, it seems that just about everyone has forgotten the mighty powerhouse creations that arrive within the full size lineup from Detroit. Oft written, rearranged paragraphs about the NASCAR and NHRA homologation rules and estimated production figures spur many a dream of finding a rare, and stunningly powerful beast in dear old Uncle Fred's dusty barn. Truth be told, the mid 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback falls squarely into this category.""
For consignment, a mid year 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 2 door fastback with a showing 35,651 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. The sport hardtop of the early '63 cars became the fastback mid year. This example was repainted in 2000 and that same year, its engine was rebuilt. In 2020, the interior was replaced.
Exterior
The car's had one repaint still has some old school appeal as single stage Raven Black that is augmented by typical 60's trim and molding including a broad piece of stainless the runs over the shoulder line, then does a hairpin turn to continue through the midline, encircling rear hash marks in the process and a spear that points to the Galaxie logo on the front fender. Fender ornaments are like a pair of shark fins over the black painted stamped grille, quad headlights and a straight chrome bumper. That stamped grille is repeated in back, this time without paint, sitting between the afterburner tail lights and a laser straight, mirror-like rear bumper. The car is replete with long panels, including the hood, decklid, and the roof that's extended by the broad, sloping C-pillar. 14-inch steel wheels are dressed with faux knock off covers and some surface rust on the wheels could be remedied with the quick work of a rattle can of black. Other imperfections include surface scratches throughout, bubbling, inclusions, chips, scratches, orange peel, and blistering.
Interior
The black vinyl door panels feature polished trim and a textured backing plate to the armrest that looks like it came from a steel drum. Our split bench seat and rear bench are also black vinyl with cabochon ornamentation and cream piping and other than some loose vinyl in back, all seats present in very nice condition. By today's standards, the steering wheel is thin and this one shows some cracks in the ribbed handle, fronting an original looking dash with horizontal speedometer flanked by circular units. There's lots of ribbed metal here and it spans the width, taking in the vent panel and AM/FM/Cassette radio. Black carpet floods the floor nicely with Ford weather mats on top, and the perforated headliner up top is excellent. The trunk is barren and clean with just a touch of surface rust.
Drivetrain
Chrome valve covers and ribbed air filter housing adds some showy elements to this clean engine bay housing a 390ci V8 with 300 horsepower and an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor. It's mated to a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the Ford 9"" in back with 3.00 gears. The fantastic wiper fluid bag in red will get everyone's attention! Power steering is on board.
Undercarriage
Driver quality conditions are found underneath but overall clean with some seepage from the rear diff fill plug and/or pinion seal. We note one spot of flaking rust on the belly but otherwise solid structure is found. Dual exhaust runs through FlowMaster mufflers on their way to chrome tips and drum brakes are front and rear. Suspension consists of coil springs in front and leaf springs in back.
Drive-Ability
A quick start, the Galaxie floats across our test loop with good power and braking on demand. It's all clean surfaces on the inside, and hood ornaments on the outside to guide the nose of Galaxie are appealing and it scores 100 on the functionality test! 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.
In season four of The Andy Griffith show, they used a '63 Galaxie as the sheriff's car. Coming at you, this looks just like that car, but turn to the side, and it has something better than four doors; it's a two door fastback! We think if Barney Fife drove around in this car, he'd be slightly more intimidating to Mayberry's ne'er do wells!
