Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is proud to present this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback, a striking full-size classic finished in Rose Beige with a matching Rose Beige interior. According to the consignor, the exterior retains its factory color and the interior remains in its OEM-style presentation. With its long, flowing body lines, sweeping fastback roofline, bright chrome trim, and unmistakable early-1960s Ford styling, this Galaxie carries a refined presence from every angle.
Under the hood is a 351 Y-Block V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The consignor represents the engine, transmission, and rear differential as original to the vehicle. The engine bay features cast-steel headers, represented as factory-original, chrome factory Thunderbird valve covers, and a Ford three-deuce carburetor setup, also represented as original. These components give the Galaxie a strong period-correct appearance and make the engine bay as interesting as the exterior.
Several updates have been made for improved drivability. An aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan helps manage engine temperatures, while the generator has been replaced with a chrome alternator. A new exhaust system provides the proper classic Ford soundtrack for the Y-Block. Factory power steering makes this full-size cruiser easier to maneuver, and the factory-style air conditioning system includes an under-dash air handler.
Inside, the Rose Beige interior complements the exterior beautifully, giving the cabin a distinctive period appearance. The interior is represented as OEM, with the radio also original to the car. Digital gauges provide updated information for the driver while blending seamlessly into the classic cabin layout.
From its consignor-represented original 351 Y-Block, transmission, rear differential, and three-deuce carburetor setup to its factory-color Rose Beige presentation, this 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL Fastback combines vintage Ford style, period character, and carefully selected updates. Some NOS parts and replaced components are included with the vehicle.
