This is my latest 63 Ford Galaxie casting... It resembles one my grandma owned... Thanks to Daniel60, I discovered this Coke car and purchased it... Had a heck of a time removing the Coke tampoos though... My family had 4 1963 Ford Galaxies at one time and I am trying to collect replicas of them all... One I had to customize one a little so far, but got it right... I still need a 4th one that was a maroon colored of my father's...

Here's another one in my collection... This version I customized to resemble my uncles... It had a 427 dual 4 bbl set up with a 4 speed tranny and would fly !!!

Here is how I customized it to look, by adding the steelies with the baby moons, and paintting the interior red !!!

Posted Image

This is just another variation I added to my collection just because I liked it !!!

Posted Image

Another uncle had a white one, so I purchased two of this one and detampooed one !!!

Here's two more I'm going after soon !!!

I too is a fan of this casting. Great job on the customized ones. I still need to get the white one, the red one from the gold series and the BTH one but those cars seem to be hard to get a hold of. Good luck with your quest Steve.

Support your local demo derby.

I'm after those last two from the 2.0 line as well Steve. If we're tallying up a top 5 list for JLs, the '63 Galaxie makes the cut.
