1963 Ford Galaxie Wagon - '427' 

Dual Quad - 4 speed top loader transmission, 9 passenger, XL trim package.

 

I don't even know where to begin...

I stopped counting after I put 75k into this car...

 

I purchased the car in southern California about 12 years ago, and it was a 99k mile mint survivor. It was purchased in Bodega Bay where they filmed 'The Birds' 

This car was so immaculate and rust free that I felt it was worthy of a full blown restoration.

In 2006, I completed a 1200 hour frame off restoration. Every nut and bolt came off, replaced just about everything in NOS I could get my hands on.

I purchased a 66' side oiler that was a service block and was a wausau built block, with 1st time .020 bore. I bought the short block all assembled with all the high quality rods, pistons, steel crank, screw in freeze plugs etc.

I bought the shorty headers, they are planed, no cracks, new exhaust with borla copy type mufflers. It sounds like a Ferrari going down the road.

It has a factory 63' low riser dual quad intake, and I purchased 2 of those brand new factory replacement carburetors from Carl's Ford about 2 years ago.

Also has the Eldebrock aluminum heads. 

The transmission is a 66' top loader large spline 4 speed which had all the guts and gears replaced in it, with exception of the reverse gear as it was fine.

The bumpers were re-chromed, all the rubbers and seals replaced, and the side moldings are all new NOS, replaced in 2006. The rocker moldings are original.

I wanted this car to be a extra special 63' Galaxie Wagon, so I went with the high power '427', kept my focus on the originality of the 1963 era, and installed a full

'XL' package as it would have been done in 1963.

The glass is all original I believe, and there is no whiting on the perimeter of the glass.

I installed a metal 63' dash and refinished it with the correct high gloss rangoon red. The car originally had a rare wagon reverberator which still works.

I purchased a factory correct AM/FM  radio which works great in warm weather, but not so in the winter for some reason.

I also installed a 2k Sony stereo system, with two amps mounted under the back seats, stereo mounted under the dash.  The sound quality is very nice.

The interior trim was replated or refinished, and the headliner is original and still looks pretty darn good.

I purchased two full sets of the Dearborn interior seat covers in order to make the rear seats look correct and also the 9 passenger rear seat.

There is so much to add to the list of things that were done to the car... I just can't think of everything right now, and will be more than happy to answer any questions either by phone or email.

I have a ton of pictures from Day 1, and also have a video from last year.  You may have to copy and paste the link:  http://youtu.be/R2P9rXXQ3-g
