1963½ Ford Galaxie 500 R-Code with a red exterior and red/white interior. Equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and has covered 82,000 miles. Priced at 95,000 euros.
This car is a genuine factory R-Code, featuring a 427 cubic inch (7.0L) FE V8 engine rated at approximately 425 horsepower. It is equipped with a fully rebuilt engine, hydraulic roller camshaft, roller rockers, and offers immediate throttle response and improved durability. The driving experience is direct, mechanical, and lively, with unfiltered power that responds instantly to throttle input.
The exterior is original red, and the interior maintains its original red and white upholstery. The car shows an honest, uniform patina throughout, with the underside protected and finished in black. All gauges, including the tachometer, are functional. The car has not been over-restored, presenting a real, consistent, and unforced appearance.
This model is a true factory R-Code, developed in response to NASCAR and drag racing competition, making it a significant piece of American muscle car history. It predates the muscle car era and has a direct link to Ford’s later racing successes with GT40 and Cobra. Rare in Europe, especially in correct specification, this Galaxie started the story of American muscle cars.
The vehicle comes with Belgian registration (ready for EU use), an independent valuation report, and has been professionally prepared and presented. It is a foundational muscle car, ready to be driven, understood, and respected, embodying the spirit of early American performance cars before the muscle car category was officially marketed.
