For Sale: 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible For those of you who used their formative years to educate and mostly entertain themselves with the boob tube, you probably caught an episode or two of Andy of Mayberry.
A number of awesome cars were featured in the Andy Griffith Show over its nine year run, but Griffith's squad cars were always Ford Galaxie 500 sedans.
Fords were increasingly featured as the show reached its later years, undoubtedly because of a sponsorship from the Ford Motor Company.
For consignment, a 1963 Galaxie 500 convertible that I would classify as a stunner and even go as far to proclaim it is a piece of creamy white chocolate bon bon eye candy, with a cherry filling in the center.
George Jetson-esque styling on the steel side slabs, plenty of chrome trimming adornments and beautiful badging, snappy wheels, andits a convertible!! This is a very nice morsel of early 60's road rocketing donning our Hallowed Halls.
Exterior Corinthian White in a respray covers straight steel panels that maintain very good gaps.
The metal is near perfect, the paint is shiny and deep, and is highlighted by an upper trim spear that works its way to the rear, heads briefly downward, then returns to just in front of the front quarter.
In front of the downward turn on the rear quarter, is a series of vertical rectangles which add to the jet age mystique.
Dual front headlights within a well preserved shiny and fine detailed designed egg crate grille has a nice cloisonne badge in the center make up the front view and the front bumper is very nice as well.
As we move to the rear, round jet engine style tail lights have beautiful bezels and 4 spikes that come to the center and form a circle around a backup light.
More egg crate shaver guard styling is on the rear below the trunk, and below is a nicely preserved rear bumper.
Not to be forgotten is the convertible top in pristine shiny coated canvas with a plastic rear window, clean and clear.
Chrome 15-inch Kelsey Hayes wire wheels looking like a 4 leaf clover design, adorn all 4 corners.
All metal on the car is original and this car is a beauty.
Interior With a swing of the doors we will be seeing oxblood red, all beautifully restored to original configuration, and all in fab condition.
The front split bench is red tuck and roll inserts and smooth red bolsters with some white piping racing around the border of the two.
The rear seat sprawls from panel to panel and mimics the front.
All upholstery appears to be new old stock material and was possibly hand sewn to make the seats better than new.
A very clean and shiny red original dash and steering wheel are noted, and all is looking futuristic for 1963.
Think the dash of the Millennium Falcon only its a Galaxy! (sic).
The instrument cluster has a spaceship styling to it, and we see an original AM radio in the center which is an aluminum polished horizontal strip below the red metal still on the dash front.
Deep red carpet floods the floors, and above the top is padded on the inside.
Drivetrain This Cruise-O-Matic, (dontcha luv those 60's tranny names), 3-speed automatic equipped car comes with a completely correct 352ci V8 and has a single 2-barrel carburetor.
Ford Blue painted valve coverings and a trademark single snout air cleaner allows plenty of fresh clean air to flow to the single 2bbl below.
Power from this mill makes its way to the rear wheels through a Ford 9 inch 3.
00 rear.
Noiiiiice! Undercarriage Underneath has also been fully attended to with black painted structural steel and floor pans and rockers.
Independent coil springs for the front and leaf springs on back provide the futuristic ride.
An upgrade to power brakes are on all 4 corners with discs in the front and drums in the rear and a stock replacement dual exhaust is now installed and is clean and rust free.
Drive-Ability As expected from a car in this condition, she fired right up, and with a shift of the lever to D I was off like a prom dress.
This car is a great large cruiser, smooth ride, and no creaking or squeaking when turning the corners.
Plenty of power with some to spare, good handling for any evasive action that may be necessary.
Awesomely solid bias free panic braking if needed for the quick stop.
A beautiful example of the Galaxie in 500 format.
An excellent exterior, like new interior red, and lots of power from the correct 352ci mill, it does not get much better than this example if you are in the market for some 1960's power iron.
Ok Andy give 'em the lights and siren they're pulling over and gettin' a ticket.
