The 427 in its many modes was not an engine to be taken lightly and could best most of what Chevy and Mopar put out. At one point in time I had 3 of these magnificent motors and got a chance to actually play and see what they could do. The engines were a major effort for Ford and the engineering that went into the motors was a top drawer effort. The 3 different engines(low, medium, high rise) gave differing flavors to the engines. I applaud Ford for the efforts to tame a pure race engine for the street. Beautiful car and the black cherry paint is right on!

That's a real gem! 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 in a sharp looking Black Cherry paint job! The 427 engine sounded healthy, and the cutouts made all the difference! I like the upgrade to the instrument cluster, and also the 5-speed overdrive manual transmission! That's a beautiful Ford! Nice find Lou!

In 1964 my Dad bought a 63 1/2 and was special ordered with the dual quad 427, 4 speed and locker rear end. It was metallic gold with a white roof, and had white interior with with bucket seat and console and it was FAST. He was a serious drag racer in the '50s and '60s and in '57 had bought a Fairlane Custom 300 with the Paxton Supercharged 312 and 3 on the tree trans. Later in the mid '70s I had followed in his footsteps with a '67 GT Mustang Fastback with a Holman-Moody 427, 4 speed and 3.90 27 spline Locker that was putting out a true 630hp on the dyno that ran low 12's in street trim. I love that motor and was so lucky to have had one. Thank you so very much for the walk down Memory Lane with such a beautiful ride.

This car's a monster Lou. The big cam and exhaust cutouts sounded like fireworks going off under the car. In the late '70's my neighbor was in love with '63 1/2 Galaxies, and would make trips from Staten Island to anywhere down south to find rust-free examples. I'll never forget a white Q-code he came back with once- it was all original and looked like it was just driven off the showroom floor. He looked at me and said "now this one Tom, I had to pay $3,500 for, can you believe it? The prices are going through the roof!!" Cracks me up when I think about it. Awesome video Lou. Love the modifications this owner did.

No, I don't believe black cherry was a factory color. The closest would be Heritage Burgundy. I noticed that the color code in the door jam was A, which is Black, so I'm guessing the car was repainted. The black cherry does look nice.

1963.5 Ford Galaxie. The Ford Galaxie was introduced back in 1959 as a trim for the Ford Fairlane, which was released four years prior to the Galaxie in 1955. The high-performance variants of the Galaxie in the 1960s were the 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 "Super High Performance" and the 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 427. Both cars had a 427 cubic inch Ford V8 (7.0 Litre Ford V8) making either 405 Horsepower or 425 Horsepower. More stylish variants such as the Ford Galaxie 500 (1970) and the 1969 Ford Galaxie GT 429 would be introduced in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The car was also called the Ford XL.

A customer came in with a brand new 1963 Country Squire station wagon that had less than 100 miles on it. It smelled new inside and yet it was 10 years old! He had bought 2 of them in 1963 and put one in storage. He just pulled it out of storage the day before and brought it by for us to load with several sheets of plywood! It was a beautiful car.

The engine sounds like it’s “spittin’ fire!” In the early sixties, a neighbour down the street had gotten a similar model. Although it was brand-new, it unfortunately had fallen on its right side off a “car carrier.” I remember seeing it in his garage with that side badly damaged. Once he did the body repairs, I’m sure it looked new again!

Really gorgeous car. Cool to see a regular Galaxie 500 with that engine option. I'd love to have a 1963 or 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500XL convertible. Probably my favorite car!! The 1964 is really pretty also.

My friends dad had the white 63 1/2 R code with the lightweight package. Hood and front fenders. I never saw any car that did longer burnouts like that, back in the day!

Beautiful car Lou! Of course the same roof as my white 64 Galaxie fastback with a 060 over 390, so 401. I have a Howards Cams hydraulic roller 286 292 dur 560 lift, shortie headers and 3" exhaust with Jegs Flowmasters and cut outs. Yeah, it's too loud closed up. Opened up has gotten the cops called on me a couple times by a neighbor that is not a car person. Great video again as usual.

Hey, Lou, not to be knit-picky, but at 04:34, you said, "You can see your hood release." That's not a hood release, sir, that's the parking brake release. On these '63 Fords, the hood release is that cool Ford emblem shield on the front grille that you grab and pull towards you to unlatch the hood. Too bad you missed that when describing the other cool details like the fuel filler door on the rear body panel, etc. Anyway, this is definitely a gem of a '60s factory high-performance car! Thanks for sharing.

My 63 Galaxie 500 cam cackles just like this one! Stroked 390 out to about 455 ci if I remember my numbers right (they're in a binder right next to me but I'm lazy, folks.) About 500 hp +/-
