1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback This is a very nice looking 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback. The car has a 1969 Ford 429 4V Big Block Thunderjet Motor mounted to a rebuilt C6 tranmission with a stage 3 shift kit built for high performance. The Galaxie 500XL models were slightly different from the Galaxie 500 models. The XL stood for "eXtra Luxury"that included luxurious interior trim, console, and bucket seats for that "racing feel". The 1969 Ford 429 4V Thunderjet Engine w/ factory 360+ horsepower - Low mileage motor that was rebuilt about 3000 miles ago - Has stock 1969 429 crank, camshaft, valvesprings, and pistons - It has the C9VE High Compression heads with Felpro 1018 head gaskets - It has Clevite 77 performance rated bearings, new piston rings, gaskets, high flow water pump, Melling sp oil pump, Comp timing chain, Magnum roller rockers, Ford Racing M-6316-A460 Damper, and a Holley 750cfm Carb.- The ignition has been upgraded to full MSD which includes the MSD distributor, coil and 6A ignition Box. High Performance Ford C6 Transmission- Professionally rebuilt ($1700+ receipt) - Less than 1000 miles since rebuilt - High Volume Pump - Racing Master Rebuild Kit - Low Drag / Wide Ratio Gears -Has a transgo stage 3 shift kit- Racing Servo- 2200 Stall Performance Converter The Engine and the Transmission function and sound good. The car drives well and has manual steering and manual brakes with 4 wheel drums. The trim looks good, the bumpers are original and look acceptable, and single outlet chrome lake pipes were added to the vehicle. The frame is straight and in good condition. The body does have some filler in the lower quarter panels, the floors are solid, and the trunk had new sheet metal welded in years ago. There is a brand new set of 17X8 Cragar S/S's all the around the vehicle with new z rated BF Goodrich Tires on the rear. The rearend is a Ford 9 inch with a factory 3.25 gear. There is a lot of new parts on the car such as a Tuff Stuff 100 Amp alternator, dual 40 series Flowmaster exhaust, master cylinder, wiring, radio, carpet, sound deadener on the floor, door panels, door switchs, dash bezels, and a hood latch emblem. The car needs a 4 terminal single speed wiper switch and a right AIR vent cable. All the dome and door lights work, and all the instrument lights light up like a Christmas tree at night. The fuel gauge works, the cooling gauge was disabled and switched over to a more accurate gauge, the oil pressure indicator light was switched over to a manual gauge, and a volt meter was added. The cooling system has a 160 thermostat, that holds near that temperature even on the hottest summer days. This is car is ready to drive and cruise! Its been garaged for the past 11 years I've owned it, and in that time it has never seen any rain. I have taken it to smaller local car shows, and it always stands out from the other cars. I enjoyed owning this car and cruising around for fun, but unfortunately I have to sell this car. If there are any questions, feel free to ask.
