When I was a youth, a neighbor bought a brand new '64 XL, 390, 4 speed,
Hurst shifter. Being a kid, and loving cars, I drooled over that
beauty! Since then, I've always wanted one. I did buy a '65 (major body
style change) but, being how 65 was a totally different car it just
wasn't the same... I did drive that car alot, though, until being a
western NY car, the frame rusted so bad that it actually bent in half
going down the road!!

One of the reasons I got into this classic car stuff was a long-time search
for a '63 or '64 Galaxie 500 XL.
I like both, but if had to choose, I'd take the '63. I had a '62 Galaxie
500 Sunliner (convertible) a couple of years ago that was in really nice
condition, but it had a 292 ci engine and bench seats. It just didn't do it
for me so I sold it.

They are not easy to find and those that are available in the condition I am
seeking are priced out of sight.

I'll bet, you just don't see many anymore.
