This reminds me of the base model Galaxie I inherited from my dad. It came from Shaker Ford Shaker Heights, OH and still has the dealer sticker on the trunk. It is an untouched original car and had 14,222 on the odometer when Dad took it home. It’s not going anywhere except my garage.
That 427 sure looks good in that engine bay. Wish Ford had done a better job with the trunk lid fitment. you can see why the trunk floor pan is rusted out on many galaxies, that gap between the trunk lid and body 😳. Good thing you got a 427 in it. You can outrun the rain storms lol. Mine has a tired 390 and had to have the pan replaced. Now if someone would start making a new metal trunk lid, the world would be alright
Thanks for the reply, I saw another youtube channel: autorestomod manic mechanic gasoline media has a video how to and what all fits the 63 Galaxie trunk lids, he is entertaining as well. Hopefully this helps keep the smiles per mile rolling along!

Love it, thanks for sharing, and keep it in the family, awesome time capsule!
One of my earliest memories is of my parents buying a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 off the showroom floor.
The classic cars are always a time capsule, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful, the torque thrust wheels are perfection.

Had one with a 390 auto
Great car for cruising and making some noise!
Looks like soerens ford car show.
You are correct! Great show this year again with many classic Fords and modern Mustangs.
