This 1963 Ford Galaxie 500XL is an R-code fastback coupe that is equipped with a 427ci V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in red over black vinyl upholstery.
Equipment includes a center console, a push-button AM radio, body-color 15″ steel wheels, chrome bumpers, dual four-barrel carburetors, and a dual exhaust system.
The body was finished from the factory in Rangoon Red (J) and was mounted to a rotisserie during the 2000s refurbishment, receiving a repaint in its current shade of red.
Exterior details include a power antenna, quad headlights, pillarless side windows, dual side mirrors, Galaxie 500XL and 427 badging, and a chrome-finished grille, side moldings, window surrounds, and bumpers.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear Ford-branded hubcaps and are mounted with 6.70-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion tires, while a matching spare is housed in the trunk compartment.
The car rides on an independent front suspension with leaf springs and shocks fitted at the rear.
Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes.
The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black crush vinyl accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard, headliner, door panels, and carpets.
Polished trim adorns the interior, and additional appointments include a center console, a heater and defroster, a dash-mounted clock, quarter vent windows, optional two-speed windshield wipers, and a push-button AM radio.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a polished horn ring and fronts a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer along with gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature.
The five-digit odometer shows 46k miles.
