1963 GALAXIE 500 XL CONVERTIBLE (G) CODE THIS CAR CAME FROM A BUILD PLANT IN TEXAS, SOLD TO AZ AND THEN SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA. IT MOVED BACK TO WV ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED THIS WAS ORIGINALLY A WHITE CARTHIS IS A TRUE G CODE CAR, YOU CANT CHANGE THAT FACT, ITS STAMPED IN THE BODY AND ON THE TRIM TAG.IT STARTED LIFE AS A 406/405 HP CAR WITH 4 SPEED AND TRI POWER CARBS , KICK THAT OFF WITH THE CONVERTIBLE TOP AND YOU HAVE ABOUT THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER 63 FORD ON THE PLANET IT IS NOT RESTORED, IT IS MORE LIKE PRESERVED, IT HAS HAD SOME UPGRADES AND YES THE 406 IS LONG GONE, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE AND ADD THE TRI POWER AND MAKE THIS OLE GAL MORE VALUABLE THAN IT CURRENTLY IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS CAR IS THE FACT THAT THE FLOORS AND FRAME HAVE ZERO RUST THRU. ZILCH, I HAVE ALL PICUTURES TO PROVE THISI HAD A FEW MINOR RUST BUBBLES REPAIRED AROUND A WHEEL LIP BUT OTHER THAT THE BODY IS NEAR PERFECT THE CURRENT PAINT IS DRIVER QUALITY AND HAS A GOOD SHINETHE CARPET AND SEATS ARE VERY NICE THE DASH IS ORIGINAL AND HAS A FEW SPOTS WHERE IT SUN CRACKED BUT VERY FEW THE MOTOR IS NOW A 390 AND WAS JUST RECENTLY REBUILT WITH A MILD CAM AND TRI Y HEADERS THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WORKS VERY GOODI WILL INCLUDE A NEW TOP, WHITE OR BLACK, YOUR CHOICE WITH THE SALE THE TOP ON CAR NOW IS USABLE AND NOT TERRIBLE.

WE WASHED THW BOTTOM OF CAR BUT DID NOT PAINT IT OR OTHERWISE TRY TO MAKE IT PRETTY. I AM PROUD OF THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME AND FLOORS!On Mar-19-17 at 05:32:11 PDT, seller added the following information: looking back, about 4 -5 months ago, I sold purchased a very similar 63 convertible,(for 18,900) same color, with red interior, it had come from factory with a 352 and had a 390 in it, it had lots of curb appeal as does this car, but in now way compared to this car in the fact that it was not "rare" . This car is probably one of only a scarce few 406 convertibles that had the XL package that have survived the crusher. I can't express enough how solid this car is underneath. I realize that lots of people will not put a lot of stock in this car because they have not the means or will to find and install the correct power plant. These bidders will only pay the price of a stock 63 convertible, but for that special guy, or gal, this is the ultimate collector piece that is like money in the bank, There is another on here that is restored and they want 99,000 for it, there is another on here that is a 62 barn find, go to that website and they want 45000 for it,(and it is not a convertible,,, so......... I am willing to take a partial trade of a car that I can wholesale and turn into money if you want this car and just don't want to fool with selling your car, if you have the love for the old fords and are knowledgeable enough to know this car's ultimate potential, then we can work a deal and make this your car. 304 719 2657 On Mar-21-17 at 06:26:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I will possibly trade for something if it is something I can wholesale. just call me and I will give you my email to send pictures to.
