Up for auction is my 1963 Galaxie 500 4 door sedan. It has the original 352 big block engine upgraded with a 1963 Police Interceptor Aluminum intake and 1963 4100 Autolite 4 bbl carburetor. Also the heads are off a 1964 390 with a complete valve job. The headers are reproduction cast iron shorties just like the police cars had in 1963. The bottom end was not rebuilt because the original main bearings dated 8/11/62 were still in like new condition. The engine runs very strong. Also a complete 2 1/4" dual exhaust system with Dynomax SS welded mufflers. The cruise-o-matic transmission shifts and drives good. The rear end is the original 9" ford open differential with 3.00 gears. The factory power steering system has also been completely restored with all new parts from the PS pump to the tie rod ends. Exterior repairs that have been completed are as follows: right and left rear quarter panel replacement, floor pan and trunk pan replacement and drivers side rear door replacement. The front clip was stripped down to bare metal and any rust was removed. All weather stripping has been replaced including windshield and rear glass gaskets. All exterior rust was cut out and new metal was welded in. I painted it Eastwood pearl blue and brilliant white, there are a couple of minor runs, so I am including an extra gallon of pearl blue and a half gallon of the white. Also there are NOS Front and Rear Bumpers installed. Interior repairs that have been completed are New carpeting, New door panels and seat covers that were made from NOS ford vinyl. The dash was disassembled stripped and painted to match the interior. An NOS Police speedo was installed and a 17" steering wheel was restored and installed. Additional things that have been completed are: The original drum brake system was completely rebuilt to factory specs. 5 New 15" tires were mounted on replacement 15 X 5.5" steel rims and capped off with a set of OEM Stainless Steel hubcaps. All of the exterior molding is in average shape and just needs a bit of polishing. Over the past 6 years, over 10K in parts have been put in to restore this car. I have all the receipts that will go with the car. Also, going with the car is a photo book that documents the entire process of repair to date since 2009.
