I thought you might like a look at this very slick 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. This car is powered by it's original, numbers matching, 390 V8 and it has been recently restored. The black paint is very slick, the black vinyl interior looks like new, and it's very nicely detailed under the hood. This car really is ready to show just as it sits. I hope you find it interesting, thanks for taking a look!

Such a classic and beautiful car!
In 1969 I had a 1963 Galaxie 500XL that I painted a lime green metal flake with white speed stripes, a nearly complete chrome plated engine, a white leather top and white leather interior and shag carpeting (it was the 60's you know). I had all mag wheels and wide tires with the 390 V8. Loved this car.
Very well done resto!!☺
Wow, you're up late tonight. It really is a sharp car. Thanks for taking a look at it.
alberto gorin It really is a great car for the money. Thanks for watching Alberto !
This is a great Gal, I know because I now own it, it now sits on American racing torque thrust wheels and resides in Melbourne Australia, a big thankyou to Gateway classic cars, the car was exactly as described, no surprises
Nice buy, Murray! I had a friend w/ a 61 390. He raced a 60 348 w/ 3 2s. The 390 was 3 car lengths ahead going into 2d gear. The driver of the 348 just quit.
I'm a fan of '50's and 60's cars as well, particularly the early 60's Fords and Chevys. The design of the '64 Ford Galaxie 500 XL is almost impossible to beat, for a full sized "family" car. Our family had a 4 door solid BLACK Galaxie 500(not an XL) with a 390/300 and set off with a medium grey interior. My favorite family car that we had. The '71 Olds gold/camel interior 98 Luxury Coupe was not a great performer. However, it would run 120 mph flat out, 'cause I did it. Took it about 2-3 miles to get to 120, though. That car's best asset was it was just PRETTY. So graceful. Besides that, it drove like a dream, what with it being so HEAVY and well engineered. The last of true high compression, high weight, high horsepower Detroit iron. Those were the last of the good ol' days as far as impressive Detroit iron is concerned. @@WJKPhD
I’m from Melbourne and l’ve been looking for one of these with a manual but. Looks in wonderful shape....must freak the Melbournites when you cruise the M19[the Doncaster freeway?] yah cool car!
G’day Murray, I bumped into you near Pet Stock a while ago.Your Gal is even better in real life.Cheers,Rob.
Nothing sounds so good like a big block V8
Wow, sweet 👍
Thanks for checking it out!
The 1963 model Galaxy is one of the most beautiful Fords made! IMHO...
My DREAM CAR! DOWN TO THE COLOR!!
ive always loved the rear taillights on the galaxies. plus, you can camp in the trunk. they are just awesome cars
They really are cool cars, thanks for checking this one out.
I’m trying to find a ‘63 gala ie 500XL to restore.
Dream car. Gorgeous restoration!
Looks like brand new :)
It really is a beauty....thanks for watching my friend!
Great memories
Glad it brought back some good memories...thanks for watching!
Man. That is such a Nice car I have seen several 64 XL 's never a 63 Those exhaust manifolds could be part of a police interceptor package or Racing package The police engines are kind of rare A very nice car !!!
I think you may be right about the exhaust manifolds. Thanks for checking it out!
Great Gal, I used to own a 65 Galaxie as well as 26 other Fords, nearly all V8's and I hope to own a 63 very soon
Thanks for taking a look at it, we appreciate it!
‘65’s are the best looking year for Galaxies. My old buddy Ralph had a ‘65 with the medium riser 427. The first year for the side oiler. Its a beauty.
FE Blocks were good engines.
I agree, they are good solid engines with pretty strong performance. Thanks for watching!
I had a white 1963 Ford Galaxie 500, when I was in the USN, back in the late 1970's. It was a wonderful car, and ran like a watch. I drove it for thousands of miles, and it never broke down. I wish that I still had it.
+alneal100 Oh man, dont dwell on it. Im sure you get it back one day since the Galaxie doesnt seem as popular as the other vintage cars on the market.
+alneal100 PS, white is a badass color !
+Jonathan Kenley Actually, I sold it to my sister in 1978, and after about six, or seven months, I couldn't stand it....so I bought it back. I traded it in for a Ford Torino, with a 351 Windsor engine... That thing was more trouble than a two headed mother-in-law.
alneal100 Ha!! You're funny. I hope to get me a 63/64 Galaxie one day.
I'm a car lover. Lot of people are Ford Chevy or Mopar but me I love them all. But I have to say these Fords compared to the Chevy SS seem more upscale. lol probably will get some slack for saying that but just look how plain the dashboard looks in the Impala compared to this one. But still I love all cars.
The back of the car is just as beautiful as the front of the car 😍 Sweet
oh and I didn't want to forget to THANK YOU for all your hard work uploading these great Videos Jeff :)
Thanks my friend, I appreciate that!
Super fine car!
They very beautiful cars.
Before Ford went back to the land yacht's. Right size, Right motor, Right interior. If this car was a convertible. I would be trying to buy it right now. Any time you can get Raven Black to look wet after it's painted. Perfect! Get in. Listen to it rumble. Just idling! Sitting there in it's glory! Man, Ford had it going! Thanks, For this video. I will be 60 on Sept 6 2020. My retirement draws near. If I could just drive this car. Man, What a Birthday present that would be. Shawn.
One if my favorite car of my younger days at that time i drove a 61 impala conv.traded it for a 64 parisienne conv.but that 63 ford shure is a beauty .and the price is right too.my boss owned one with the 427 4 on the floor...wow i was happy when he let me try it...was working in a esso gas station then.thank you for your appreciation of classic cars .
I'm in love with this beautiful vehicle. Normally I'ma GTO,Cougar, Cuda, Chevelle kind of guy, but seeing this gem of a car has certainly given me a new favourite. What an artistic masterpiece of beauty! I can only imagine how amazing it would drive.
Classic
I always loved the 63 Fords and Chevys. I was 18 years old that year. The XLs and the SS Chevys
Sitting behind the wheel in this awsome wonderfull car would be a true treat i love this car 🤟 🤩😊😎✌️thanks jeff and Jordan for this video
Very Impressed Jeff! I looked up the asking price and I always guess first before I see the price and I seriously guessed $40K. If this was an Impala SS or a Mopar with a HEMI in this condition it would be more then the $40K in this condition. $26k is not bad at all. I could even afford this one. Wish I had the garage and the climate to enjoy it. ;(
It really is a slick car for the money. I'm glad you like it Gene, thanks for watching!
@@RamblinAround $26K! Is THAT all??? Very nice car for such a reasonable price. You're a great channel, BTW. Thanks for your posts. They concise, well photographed and well done overall. Keep the channel going. I'm sure you've got a good fan base out there who looks forward to each new video.
Was just watching the 1963 Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis and spotted this car in the "First Date" scene. I didn't know what it was so after some sleuthing, matched it up.
This black one is INTENSE! I had a 390 in my first car as a teen, a 69 Mercury Cougar XR7 (obviously replaced the 351 Cleveland) so I know what kind of power this car rocks. That paint job though... *whistles*!
Thanks for posting this video... Now back to the movie.
when i was looking for my first car i just about bought a galaxie, parents wouldn't let me though. ahh well, that things way way nicer than what i was checking out.
That would have been a pretty cool first car. What did you end up with as your first one?
RamblinAround legally i had a 85 Rx-7 GS first, but i did my drivers training in both a '77 3/4 ton pickup and a 94 BMW 325, it was a bit of a mix. a learning curve to say the least.
pretty sure my mom learned to drive on a 63...my grandfather was a mechanic for ford and would bring home cars for them to drive
its a 63 1/2 by the way, had a white one handed down from grandfather to father to me i should have kept it. looking to buy one soon.
I like the 63 Galaxie better then the 64. The lines & body style are just great on this car
Love it,
My first car was a ‘63 XL (purchased in 1970). Mine was a four door and was a turquoise color with matching interior and the 390 4V. Not as nice as this one. My valve covers were gold if I recall.
Sister had one.Cool fast car.
Thanks for taking a look at this one!
that seems to be a stock 390 with the Ford hipo exhaust manifolds that used to be an over the counter option but standard on 406&427’s
My ex brother in law had one his was blue with a 390 with a top loader 4 speed had a lot of fun with.her he and me got. T-bone mad us cry
Nice Galaxie , great cars with the FE big blocks. Are you anticipating the new Mustang platform reveal tonight (Dec, 5th 12:01am)...as a huge Ford and Mustang fan I'm excited , as much as I've enjoyed the S197 platform , I bought a 2006 GT new and had the complete Ford Racing suspension , exhaust and cold air intake package installed before I even drove it home. And bought a new 2008 Shelby GT500 which I've left stock. As much enjoyment as I get belonging to MCA and regional clubs and attending shows as well as showing my own , I'm very ready for the change to a bit lighter platform with the independent rear and even future 2.3L 4 under the hood , making a great drivers car much like the 1986 SVO which was my favorite of the Fox platform Mustangs. Anyway , Thanks for keeping the great videos coming , yours are the best of any I've found online :)
I am very interested in the new Mustang, it's going to be interesting. I've seen some of the leaked photos lately, but I'm waiting to see the real thing.
Hey Kurt, I own this Galaxie and funny you mentioned Mustangs I also own a 2020 Mustang 5.0 stick, love them both for different reasons
I had the twin to this one in red.back in 1970. Also had a '63 1/2 fastback with 406 Tripower and 4 speed. Both cars got
Sharp ford.
just like that chevelle, flawless.
Yep, this one is slick. They did a really nice job with it.
What beautiful car! Black/black is a nice color combo but a bitch to keep clean. I had a '68 (Pontiac) GTO that was black/black. I used to carry a moistened chamois in by back seat all the time to keep dirt from showing on the body! Keeping the black carpet clean(or LOOKING clean) was a bitch too. I just made sure my feet weren't muddy when I got in.
An uncle had one of these. Red/red color scheme. It ran like a raped ape! And that was the 390, not the 427! Those were good times...
Beautiful car! I've got one just like it only with a red interior. It may be a huge car, but it gets out of its own way pretty quick!
My family had one of those back the sixties early seventies. Ours had a smaller v8 and it was turquoise. It was 64 model and I cant tell you what size v8 it had but I think it was smaller than a 289.
６４年式・・美しい。
丸いテールが大好き。
このスタイルのままで、今でも売れるんじゃないの？
Butefoull car
Thanks for watching!
Aren't these made in Oakville, Ontario Canada?.
68 ford galaxie 500
black on black. no a/c ?
behind the right back window the body little rough. could it have been vinyl top originally?
That's entirely possible. It has been a while, so I'm not sure. Thanks for watching!
Tricia Durham
factory leaded roof seam. Mine's same way
Never saw one with a vinyl top.
car has 2 paint codes so it's possible and you are correct about the body, it leaks through the rear window
Those wheels are WAY out of place.
needs some Crager 15inch wheels.
Car now has 15x8 and 15x10 American racing wheels, went old school
