This is the 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 Club Victoria that I sold to buy my Ranger five years ago.
This car was bought for $200 at the local city impound lot. The owner didn't pay within 30 days, and it was mine(with clear title). It had been generally abused by the old owner, who obviously didn't care for it. I think the used it as a playground for his kids, it had lots of toys and kids stuff in it when I bought it. It had been cared for by someone at sometime, because the paint was original, except for the front fenders and hood which had been replaced at some point and time.
It was equipped with a 390-4bbl, 3-speed manual, heater, clock, AM radio, backup lights, and deluxe seat belts front and back (the rear seat belts are very very rare). It also had factory bumper guards(front and rear) and a factory hoodpiece, which are not intalled on the car in the pictures (they were in the garage for safe keeping). Galaxie Fans know that those are pretty valuable pieces as well. It also had two-tone paint, which you really can't tell because it was a cream lower and an off-white top.
Forgive the picture quality, I took these pictures when I was 12, probably with disposible camera.
Learning to drive on a big car with a big block and a manual and 120 on the speedo makes driving a stock box dull.
