Up for auction is a 1963 Galaxie 500 4 door sedan. It has the original 352 big block engine that I upgraded with a 1963 Police Interceptor Aluminum intake and 1963 4100 Autolite 4 bbl carburetor. Also the heads are off a 1964 390 with a complete valve job. The headers are reproduction cast iron shorties just like the police cars had in 1963. I did not rebuild the bottom end because the original main bearings dated 8/11/62 were still in like new condition. The engine runs very strong. Also a complete 2 1/4" dual exhaust system with Dynomax SS welded mufflers. The cruise-o-matic transmission shifts and drives good. The rear end is the original 9" ford open differential with 3.00 gears. The factory power steering system has also been completely restored with all new parts from the PS pump to the tie rod ends.

Exterior repairs that I have completed are as follows right and left rear quarter panel replacement, floor pan and trunk pan replacement and drivers side rear door replacement. The front clip was stripped down to bare metal and any rust was removed. All weather stripping has been replaced including windshield and rear glass gaskets. All exterior rust was cut out and new metal was welded in. the only rust left on the car is in three of the four doors Those areas would take less than 2" diameter patches to repair. Also there are NOS Front and Rear Bumpers installed.

Interior repairs that have been completed are New carpeting, New door panels and seat covers that were made from NOS ford vinyl. The dash was disassembled stripped and painted to match the interior. An NOS Police speedo was installed and a 17" steering wheel was restored and installed.

Additional things that have been completed are The original drum brake system was completely rebuilt to factory specs. 5 New 15" tires were mounted on replacement 15 X 5.5" steel rims and capped off with a set of OEM Stainless Steel Dog Dish hubcaps.

All of the exterior molding is in average shape and will go with the car. 

I have owned the car since 2009. During that time I have invested over 10K in parts to restore this car. I have all the receipts that will go with the car. Also going with the car is a photo book that documents the entire process of repair to date since 2009.

If you would like to see this entire process all the photos are posted on my FB page. Just follow the link below.

The reason I am selling this car is that I have too many projects to finish any so I decided to part with this beauty that just needs a little more TLC.

The car runs good and I am not afraid to take it anywhere. In March I drove it to Myrtle Beach for Run to the Sun car show.
