Not an XL; as mm-man says, the 289 is a good choice for these. I've owned an FE '64. Very thirsty.

Can't tell how bad the tin worm damage is from these photos.

Just an observation after searching Craigslist for old cars for sale: it seems as if a high percentage of the full-size Ford 1963 1/2 and 1964 two door hardtop fastbacks are still extant.   They turn up for sale almost weekly all over the country.

There are a lot on the market, good buys can be found.

A decent amount of convertibles from that era as well, surprisingly more big block ones at that. 289's aren't too common, but I knw of at least five 390's right now.

Quality control at Ford was pretty poor in '60, but by '63-4 they were top notch. That might have something to do with the survival rate.
