1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Base 6.4L

Description for Ford Galaxie 1965

Up for sale is my 1965 Ford Galaxie Convertible. It was purchased from my friend who’s father used it very sparingly prior to his passing. His son kept the car for 5 years and had the vehicle repainted approx. 5 years ago. His father was a machinist by trade and rebuilt the current 390 engine himself to factory standards. I can personally attest to the quality of this rebuild which is a term that gets tossed around fairly casually in the classic car world. This rebuild was exemplary in quality. The oil stays cleaner between changes than any other car I’ve worked on. The car has about 20000m since the complete engine rebuild. I have personally driven this car from Minnesota to Atlanta with no issues at all. No overheating at speed or idle no smoking no engine noises. Perfect highway car 2700 RPM at 65 MPH. I have spent a great deal of time and money making sure this car performs flawlessly as a daily driver. I have completely flushed and sealed the fuel tank and installed a new fuel pump Holley 750 carburetor with electric choke and a quality fuel pressure regulator. As for ignition all new spark plugs wires distributor cap rotor Pertronix ignitor and flamethrower coil. I also did a complete coolant flush and installed new belts and hoses. All new filters power steering flush overflow tank for radiator new battery and dedicated transmission cooler. Just about every detail has been addressed to make this engine utterly reliable. The transmission is flawless and was rebuilt last month($1700) by a local specialist as the gears were beginning to slip(12 month warranty). The non-matching #’s 390 (car was 352 originally) exhausts through true duals with extra-long glass packs that are pretty quiet actually with just the right amount of sound.

The car has new rear coil springs and isolaters four new shocks a new heavy-duty polygraphite front sway bar from Performance Suspension Technology and four new Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires and a brand new unused spare tire. I replaced all four front ball joints in addition to adding brand new inner and outer tie rod ends idler arm and pitman arm. The front end was then aligned. It has great handling with all the suspension updates. It offers a confident driving experience. Cosmetically this car outshines the competition as seen in the pictures. It has a super glitzy sparkling vibrant metallic candy green paint. This paint job is by far the number one compliment about the car by passerby. Everybody takes notice everybody loves it. Get used to hearing “what’s that color? I love it.” every time you take the car out. Old school Cragar SS wheels finish off the exterior. The stainless steel is in good condition and the bumpers in good driver shape.

It has a brand new convertible top professionally installed. It’s a high quality Electron brand-name top not a no-name cheap top from the internet. It cost $1435 installed and the receipt and blank 5-year warranty card are included with the sale. Power top motor works perfect raising the top from the down position but it needs a little helping hand for the first few inches to put it down. However it’s very easy to operate with just one person using a couple fingers.

As for the interior it is a gold velour for the upholstery and door panels. It’s extremely beautiful and super comfortable for long drives. Plus it stays pleasant in both cold and hot weather unlike vinyl. It’s very tastefully and professionally done and in excellent condition. I had new gold carpet installed with new gold seat belts and door sills. The dash is in perfect condition no cracks or fading. All the gauges work and are clear and bright all dash lights work perfectly. It has the original radio in the dash and a new aftermarket CD / IPOD.

We replaced the frightening single-circuit master cylinder with a new power dual system running the 4-way drum brakes. The front brakes are completely new. The heater windshield wipers and all exterior lights work perfectly. It has a triple gauge pod mounted nicely under the dash to display oil pressure engine temperature and voltage. Tachometer on the steering column. Original FoMoCo windshield washer system—and it works great! Undercarriage looks good. Floors are solid as can be and there’s NO inch-thick layer of undercoating to hide rust issues. This car has nothing to hide. Au Natural just the way it should be. The body has a few dings and a couple paint chips here and there. Not perfect but so unbelievably nice.

To conclude this is a gorgeous car that’s ready to own enjoy and collect. It’s not 100-point perfect nor is it #’s matching to a fault. It’s a classic that any car guy would lust for. It’s a classic you can be damn proud of. And it’s eye-catching and unique to the nth degree a true one-of-a-kind. I am a private owner and the vehicle title is shared with the bank as the car was financed through Collector Car Lending. The car is located in Atlanta GA safe and sound under covered parking. The odometer shows 34231.
