Description

A rare and highly desirable 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 R-Code Coupe, powered by the legendary factory dual-quad 427 FE V8, rated at 425 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. This is a true factory R-code car paired with the correct Borg-Warner T10 4-speed manual transmission, delivering an authentic and formidable early-1960s muscle car experience.

Finished in Code E Viking Blue, the car is complemented by a striking medium and light blue interior, a distinctive and seldom-seen factory color combination. This example received an older restoration that has been thoughtfully maintained and updated for continued reliability and enjoyment.

Recent mechanical service includes a new brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders, transmission rebuild, and new steering box, ensuring the car drives with confidence while retaining its original character.
