Ford Galaxie 390 CID V8 1963
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this sweet 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. The year 1963 was a very interesting time for the Galaxie. There were multiple different body style options including a 4-door, 2-door, and 2-door fastback; five different transmission options; as well as eight engine options available. This 2-door Galaxie is equipped with the 390 cubic-inch Ford big block that has a very nice, deep rumble. The transmission, a 3-speed automatic ensures a smooth shift each time you press the gas. This combination is solid and has proved itself for what is said to be the original 46,000 miles. The bright exterior is finished in Rangoon Red and is paired with a nice, complimenting white roof. When you sit down in the driver’s seat you will be comfortably greeted by a very nice Sandshell Beige vinyl interior. Sitting inside this car makes you think about what it would’ve been like, and in some cases, takes you back how it was to cruise back when this car was new in 1963. When the nicely optioned center-console shifter gets put into drive the car gets off to a smooth start and simply floats down the road. When you get to your destination and park the car, you’re going to have to look back and admire. If a classic, original styled ‘60s cruiser is what you’re looking for, then look no more because this is it.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
