1964 Ford Galaxie 500

Description

This 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback has race-inspired sleek looks, vintage appeal, and proper V8 power under the hood. It all makes for a classic hardtop of distinction.

It's always a cool story to tell how the 1964 Galaxie got its sleek roofline. Ford wanted to do better at NASCAR, and since this was a true stock car series back then, they created this aerodynamic look that gives this coupe less drag. Plus, the sweeping full-length side trim, afterburner-style tail lights, and dual gunsight hood ornaments all seem to add to this sporty side. That's why the addition of the Cragar SS wheels look so good on this one. This is in its factory-correct color combo. The Phoenician Yellow was given a respray later in life to be the ideal mix of a good shine while still never losing the driver-quality attitude that makes for it easy to drive whenever the mood strikes you. And the black roof draws added attention to the special hardtop while also giving this one a nice two-tone appeal. The straight sheet metal, complete brightwork, intricate grille, and so much more make this a quality cruiser package.

The black roof is also a preview of the all-black interior. This is a well-done presentation with terrific details, like the Galaxie 500 floor mats, smooth dash, artful steering wheel, and intricately stitched seats. It's the kind of quality that will have you leaving down all the windows on this hardtop just so people can get a good look inside. And you can also bring plenty of people along for the ride because the Galaxie is a spacious full-size coupe. And if they truly love classics as you do, they will be impressed with the little things, like the working AM radio and the dome lights that still greet you when you open the door.

This is an X-code coupe, and so it's great to see a proper 352 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. The valve covers and air grabber have that unmistakable Ford blue radiating from within the dark engine bay. This shows well and also has the right signs of good maintenance, including newer wires, hoses, and belts. And the way this V8 fires up readily reaffirms the quality care it has been given. This inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a nice tune with the X-pipe glasspack-style dual exhaust. It's the kind of total package that's made for driving, and so you'll really appreciate nice features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and wide modern tires.

You're looking at a full-size coupe that has a distinctive classic style and a terrific driving attitude. And when powerful and classy combine on a cool hardtop, you know it's an irresistible deal. Call today!!!
