I've mentioned by brother-in-law Mark's '63 Galaxie a few times. Well, here it is, lol. It doesn't come out of the garage too often, but since it was nice out yesterday we took it for a spin, so I figured I'd get a few shots. This is an unrestored survivor car found in an old warehouse in Dayton, Ohio. And it is a beast.😊

Great car Geno. Is it a four speed? More details please.

1963 Fords, IMO, were (are ) nicely styled! Oh, those taillights! 😎 😎 😎

That's gotta be rare! Is it original? I have the same questions Bob has. Either way, it's cool!

That's a beautiful 63. Is it all original. The motor looks new?

Man would I love to hear that sweetheart start up and rev!

Cool car and an unusual color. It's kind of a pastel creamy light rose shade (if I am seeing it correctly). A guy I know had a 63 XL500 HT (fastback design) in this color with a 390 back in the late 60s; it was a very nice car.

Hey Geno, next time you’re out stop by, I’d love to see that beast in person. Be a pal man, it’s only a few inches on the map!

The engine has been dressed up, it is an automatic, bench seat car. It is an original, unrestored car with it's patina and very few dings, scratches here and there. The interior is in great shape as well. He does have the original steelies and dog dishes stored away.😊

That's a great looking Ford.

I got to admit, I saw the "Old Car" and opened it, thinking I would find a car from the thirties. It's kind of depressing to find an old car that is ten years younger than me! 😜
