In the early and mid-1960sand#44; if you wanted big block muscleand#44; the only place to get it was in a full-sized car. Back thenand#44; even the 4-door sedans could be packing heatand#44; and cars like this 1964 Galaxie XL500 sedan pack big block powerand#44; lots of optionsand#44; and great looksand#44; making them an affordable way to get some high-grade luxury muscle. The color combination is just fantasticand#44; Silver Smoke Gray with a Wimbledon White top and red interiorand#44; and today its the ideal example of Fords gentlemans express. The sloping rear roof was a recent addition to the Fairlane and Galaxie lineupand#44; and it works as well on the sedan as on the coupeand#44; cleverly disguising the extra doors. The paint was done a few years ago and still presents nicelyand#44; with a niceand#44; soft shine that is entirely appropriate to the era. Youll also appreciate the nicely preserved Galaxie 500 trimand#44; with bumpers that have obviously been restored and a good shine on the stainless. Fords jet-inspired taillights were still evolving in 1964and#44; now enclosed in a very neat and tidy rear endand#44; and those on this big hardtop are in excellent condition. Take another goodand#44; long look at this car and I think youll find that youre surprised by how much you like it. The interior is unusual and rare code 85 Red Crush vinyl bucketsand#44; and looking at the interior of this carand#44; it wouldnt be surprising to learn that it has been fully restored. The seats are in excellent condition and thanks to correct materialsand#44; theyll probably look awesome for years to comeand#44; flanking a center console thats purely style for styles sake. The wide gauge cluster spans half the dash in front of the driverand#44; and includes a massive speedometer and a fuel gaugeand#44; all with wonderful white faces that look awesome in the bright red interior. When you ordered A/C on your Galaxie 500and#44; it looked like the under-dash unit found hereand#44; and the original AM radio has been replaced by an AM/FM unit that fits in almost invisibly. In backand#44; youll find a cavernous trunk that has been fitted with a correct mat and a full-sized spareand#44; and the condition of the steel underneath strongly suggests that this has always been a dry southern car. This car still packs a Z-code 390 cubic inch V8and#44; which is topped by a 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. The tidy engine bay shows signs of maintenanceand#44; with the engineand#44; transmissionand#44; and suspension being recently rebuilt. Ford Blue on the block is dressed up with a correct gold air cleaner assembly and matching FE series valve covers. The A/C has an upgraded compressor for reliability and the ability to use R134a refrigerantand#44; and power brakes and steering are also part of the equation. Its pretty original underneath but in excellent condition with more evidence of lie in a dry climateand#44; and the Flowmaster dual exhaust system gives the Galaxie an appropriate muted rumble without being excessive. Youll appreciate that on long highway cruisesand#44; which are this cars reason for existingand#44; especially with 3.00 gears out back. The original steel wheels wear factory wheel covers and 215/75/14 whitewall radials. This lovely hardtop is the most desirable of the Galaxie 4-doors and you cant argue with its performance credentials. With lots of power optionsand#44; its a car that you can still drive every dayand#44; or save it for warm summer days when you want to feel like youre at the wheel of something special. Call today! |
