This unique, prize-winning custom 1963 Ford Galaxie Country Squire Wagon has been shown at many classic events & shows both in the US and the UK. Enjoyed and driven regularly (only on dry days) and professionally stored when not in use during the winter months with a specialist indoor classic storage facility and always covered. Very reliable, easy to drive with smooth auto and perfect for day trips and summer picnics with family & friends (and pets, luggage, chairs, BBQ, picnic baskets etc. - there is plenty of room in there!). UK licensed for up to 6 passengers.
The electric tailgate window can also be operated from the drivers seat and can be lowered when driving for extra ventilation (one of my favourite features on this amazing, unique and wonderfully charming wagon). Tax, MOT & ULEZ exempt - (FYI classic vehicle insurance is also good value at under £150 fully comprehensive on a limited 1000 annual milage policy). Ready to drive and enjoy today. The ultimate summer surfing cruiser - and yes the surfboard is included in the sale if you are feeling adventurous!
It is extremely rate to find such a unique vehicle, especially one already imported to the UK with all this work done and V5 registered. A new paint job alone on a vehicle this size would be at least £10k + these days not to mention the cost of a new set of 4 x Billet Specialities billet aluminium wheels with matching BS spinners and brand new tyres.
Please note that the vehicle is 61 years old and many of the original exterior and interior features have been retained to preserve the originality. There are therefore some areas of both the exterior and interior that show some signs of age/ patina when examined closely. However, as the saying does, these vehicles are only original once and the new owner will have the option to keep it as it is or improve as they wish. I personally love the originality of it and have chosen to keep it exactly as it is.
