RESTORED 1963 1/2 GALAXIE 500XL FASTBACK-"G" CODE 406CI/405HP TRIPOWER, T-10 4 SPEED, 4:11 POSITRACTION REAR-END. 1 OF 90 "G" CODE TRIPOWER MODELS PRODUCED BY FORD. Three National Awards - 1 at the 2013 Galaxie Nationals and 2 at the 2015 All-Ford Nationals (Carlisle, Penn), one Class Award and one of the Prestiges "Celebrity Awards" as selected by a FORD MOTOR CO. Executive. Numerous Colorado State Awards ranging from Best of Show to 1960's Class Awards to 1960's Muscle Car Awards. (All Awards go with car) 1 1/2 year Professional Body-Off-Frame Restoration by Fineline Restorations, LLC, Brighton, CO. This car has always been garaged except when driven to Cruise-Ins and local Car Shows. Enclosed Trailered any long distances. Obviously, based on the 3 National Awards, this car is in Concours Condition. Less than 3000 miles since full restoration in 2012. A copy of the Original Invoice indicates that this car is even more Rare due to it's designation on the Invoice as a "Factory Authorized Dealer Street Legal Drag Package" (as opposed to Fords 212 non-street legal R Code 427 Race Team cars.It is my understanding that only 1 or 2 Dealers actually sold a very few of these models. The Invoice shows that it came with the Fibreglass Bubble Hood (in addition to the factory steel hood) and Torque Thrust Rims (in addition to the Factory steel rims and Spinner Hubcaps). All of which are included with the car. Another interesting item is that when you look at the pictures of the Trunk you'll see 2 Batteries, 1 over each of the Rear Tires for better traction off the starting line. I have added Power Front Disc Brakes for driving safety as these cars don't like to make emergency stops at present day 65-75 speeds. Original Vacuum brakes with front Drum brakes can easily be replaced if your not going to drive it or just use it for a Car Collection. I also replaced the 4:11 Positraction rear-end with a 3:73 Positraction rear-end, again for ease in driving to the Cruise-Ins and local Car Shows. Again easily exchanged if desired and both sets go with the car. Discussions over the years with Ford and Galaxie owners indicate that there are only a handfull of these "G" Code models in existence. I personnally have only seen or heard of 3-4 others in the last 10-12 years. At both the Galaxie Nationals and the All-Ford Nationals only one person indicated that he had seen one in person. Some had seen a couple magazine articles on it and most had not even heard of it. As a comparison there were 3000+ "R" Code models produce in 1963. Agreat and desirable car but no where near the rarity of the "G" Code model. If Marty Reports were available in 1963 there would be an even lesser number of my specific car produced based on 1.) about half of the "G" Code models were produced as Convertibles and Box-Tops (square tops) 2.) the majority of High Performance cars were produced with Bench Seats (Galaxie 500) not with Bucket Seats (Galaxie 500XL) and 3.) the rarity of the Rose Beige color making this specific car more like 1 in 10-12 models. Most manufacturers and car buffs consider 1 of 500 or even 1 of 1000 models to be consider Very Rare. Whether you are looking for one of Fords RAREST cars to add to your collection or start a collection or simply want a great car to drive to Cruise-Ins and Car Shows, give this model serious consideration. There Ain't anymore. I have numerous other items that also go with the car, i.e., spare parts/trim, manuals, information on parts, Copy of Original Invoice and Inspection Sheet and Magazine articles verifying production numbers.
