Rangoon Red 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 for Sale

Unusually well-preserved 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 for sale. Purchased new by the current owner's grandfather on March 26, 1963, at Ames Ford in San Rafael California. This special example left the factory in Rangoon Red with a red interior, a 390 cubic inch V8 with a 4bbl carburetor paired to a Cruise-a-Matic, a 3.00:1 ratio axle, and power steering. It has been garaged and pampered since new and it shows. It includes the original owner's manual and information tags.

The exterior still wears its original Rangoon Red paint which has held up phenomenally. The chrome, trim, emblems, hubcaps, original issue black & gold California license plates, glass, and lenses are equally well-preserved making this attractive old Galaxie an anomaly and a glimpse of 60 years into the past.

Inside is equally as amazing and completely original including upholstery, door cards, panels, headliner, dash, gauges, and even the carpet is factory original. The car is comfortable and quiet inside with all working gauges, the only inoperable item is the clock. It is a lovely ride indeed. The trunk still has its original panel cars, mat, spare, and jack instructions.

The original factory 390 cubic inch engine fires up effortlessly and has excellent power. It runs smoothly, quietly, and burns clean. The braking, steering, and handling feel tight though the steering rack is leaking and should be renewed in the not-too-distant future. It is a truly amazing experience to drive such a low-mileage, well-preserved vintage Ford!
