Going with the Galaxie this time around, since I did the Lincoln and Benz last time, and the Ranchero and Rover are orphans. Went with Taurus SE, because it’s the biggest FERD sedan, and the SE trim line (entry) is so far beyond the entry Galaxie that I think it maps to the “500" better than the SEL would.
Went with NO extra options because that’s how the Galaxie is. Unfortunately, no option for going without A/C, power brakes, power steering, power windows, and most significantly, NO RADIO DELETE.
I think the base V6 compares better to the 289 than the Ego-Boast four, even with the 289 being an upgrade in ‘63.

There’s no actual new version of the Liftback, I could build something that’s almost exactly my car but has the auto braking/radar cruise package standard, but that’s boring. So, I’ll use the Prime Plus. I gain heated seats and the auto braking/radar cruise package, I lose Qi charging and the three-door smart-key (only get one-door instead). I also lose the ability to get the black applique package, but a better version of most of it is standard on 2017s now anyway. That’s equipped with the all-weather floormat package and the protection package, exactly matching my car, but in a PHEV version.
Alternately, for something less Prius...
I can’t configure a tan interior for whatever reason, to match exactly. And, the Grand Touring can’t have a limited slip differential, as opposed to the NB LS having one standard. Only option I added was wheel locks.

Could do E63 wagon, but sadly my car is not a wagon nor is it 4matic so that seems too far removed. Tried with C63 because RWD, but no other options line up at all. The red interior with ventilated seats is the most difficult thing to match up. Maybe I’ll try again when they add the 213 chassis E63 to the website.

I’ve also always wanted an M5, so if I somehow come into another job where I make too much money, I might get one.
