Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is proud to present this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback. This 1963 model, the industry's first official " year" model, was called the "sports hardtop" or "fastback". Galaxie buyers showed their preference as the new sports hardtop models handily outsold the "boxtop" square-roof models. This one is finished in Rangoon Red exterior with a black vinyl leather interior. Under the hood you have a 390ci V8 engine (high performance version) with 427 heads and bored .30 over. All that power is mated to a 4-speed Borg Warner T10 transmission, with a Hurst shift kit and a posi-rear with a 350 gear. To add to curb appeal you have Progressive wheels with Michelin XW4 tires all the way around. And don't forget about that Thunderbolt style hood, making this thing look as mean as it sounds!
Options include: AM/FM radio (an additional Pioneer stereo has been installed under the dash as well, to play your favorite tunes via CD or bluetooth, while keeping the dash clean and original looking) and power brakes.
If you're looking for a fast, rare, clean, early Ford muscle car, look no further! Take this thing to the strip or to the local car show, it is ready for whatever you throw at it.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
