Ford Galaxie For Sale In Tampa

When Ford needed to catch up to the competition in the early sixties, they bored out their venerable FE work horse from 390ci to 406ci. Then Ford baked in some hi-performance spice into the heads, carbs and cam and the Legendary 405hp 406 v8 was born! This motor was the basis for Ford's amazing hi-po big block bruisers of the mid to late 60s like the 427, and 428 Cobra Jet. This 1963 Galaxie XL, 2dr coupe is everything street racers would have ordered back in 1963. Black paint, 2dr post body, no AC, no power steering, no power brakes. If it didn't make it fast, it wasn't checked off. The seller claims the 406 is the rebuilt original motor topped with three two-barrel carburetors and spinning a Top Loader, four-speed manual. The clutch is heavy and stiff like a good 60s street fighter should be. The 448lb/ft of torque is put to the ground through a 28 spline, open rear with a 3. 50 final gear ratio. This the car can move; mash the gas and it'll take you back in time! When you're not behind the wheel, you'll notice the rust-free black body, dent and ding free chrome bumpers...

Ford was in hot competition with chevy in 68. GM was USA #1 through the 1960s and Ford was doing working hard to take the crown. The 1968 Galaxie 500 Ford's leading effort. This car is heavy in the features, with AM/FM radio, Power Convertible top, Power Brakes, Power steering, Seat belts, and Tilt steering. Under the hood resides a big block 390ci V8 spinning a C6, 3-speed automatic. This packs the muscle expected of an America cruiser and accelerates with authority and shifts like butter - a great driver. Drop the powered white top and you're greeted with white front and rear bench seats - both free of rips and tears and an elegant classically 60s dash with hardly any wear. The white interior is complimented by the burgundy exterior, show casing the crisp, big, hipped body, with no rust and great chrome and stainless trim. Everything is just as you remembered it from 1968....
