This is our one owner local rust free 63 Ford Galaxie XL 500 when we first bought it.

This is the cars original paint.  Right front fender had been in a minor fender bender and color was slightly mis matched.

We decided to refinish car due to minor scratches and deterioration from age.  80% of this paint was 44 years old.

This is the Ford right out of the paint shop, refinished to original color with base coat clear coat urethane.  Hasn't been cleaned up - still showing lots of compound residue.  Original side trim, grille and rear trim have all been polished and are ready to reinstall.

Original 352 Interceptor V8 Engine was pulled for thorough engine and engine compartment detail.  Engine got new timing chain and sprocket, water pump, hoses, valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, pan gaskets and timing chain gasket.  All metal components were cleaned and or media blasted and refinished to factory colors.  The engine sounds very good.

New weather stripping will be installed when reassembly is completed.

Underneath of car has been cleaned, refinished and undercoated.

Car is a rust free original local one family owned vehicle.

The interior is in excellent condition.
