1965 Ford Galaxie 500 2 Door original survivor California car

Description for Ford Galaxie 1965

Please read the entire description prior to bidding. I'm selling my 1965 Ford Galaxie 500. I purchased this car from the son of the original owner. She passed it along to her son when she was unable to drive it any longer. This car is an original California car with black plates. It has the original 352 cubic inch engine and Cruise-O-Matic transmission. and both perform very well. It starts very easily. even after sitting for weeks at a time. It's a very smooth driving car. No rattles or squeaks. Drives very straight down the road. After I purchased the car. I gave it the requisite tune-up. New plugs. wires. cap. rotor and flushed the fuel and cooling systems. including new fuel lines from the tank. It needed brakes and wheel cylinders. so I replaced those. Brake hoses looked as though they had been replaced fairly recently. no cracking or dry rot. I really wanted to preserve the originality of the car. because the patina is so nice. The paint has been muted over the years and has some places where it is thin. Because of that. the body hides absolutely nothing. Not a smear of filler anywhere on this car. It is about as honest as they come. The body lines are laser straight. like a tailored suit. It does. however. have a couple of small waves and dents (pictured) that were the cause of taking her driving privileges away. No major damage. just a couple of bumps. As mentioned. there is some very minor rust on the right rear quarter and the left drip rail. Aside from that. I have not found a spec any place else on the car. Even under the old carpet kit. or in the trunk. It's a very dry car. All stainless trim in with the car and in better than average condition. All chrome is in good condition. I purchased an interior kit from Dearborn Classics that included complete front seat upholstery. complete carpet kit. Dyna mat. headliner. door scuff plates. and door panels. I have installed the carpet kit and the seat covers. and scuff plates. They are beautiful. The new owner will get the remainder of the parts. Just know. the existing door panels and headliner are in good condition. They show signs of wear. but are still fully funcional. I had the wheels powdercoated to match the color of the car. I replaced the rear 14x7" wheels with a wider 14x8" with correct off set. I installed brand new tires all around the car. It has a very nice stance. Please look at all of the pictures and ask questions. More pictures available on request. I encourage local inspections. Please don't bid if you aren't interested in owning this car. I have all of the paperwork in my name and ready to transfer to the new owner. I will require a $300 non refundable deposit immediately after the auction ends. I require full payment within 5 business days after the auction. Payments accepted can be cash in person. cashiers check (allow time to clear) or wire transfer. I can store the car for a reasonable amount of time if you require shipping. We can discuss this after final payments have been made. I will assist in shipping. just ask.
