• Finished in Rangoon Red;
• Automatic transmission; and
• Power steering and brakes.
For those of you who would like to decode the VIN, it is:

Paint and Chrome
This car has a very nice respray in its Rangoon Red finish.
The chrome and stainless are in very good condition, with some pitting on the trim pieces.
This Galaxie has rear fender skirts that add to the look of sleekness that these cars were famous for.
The underside is in good but not perfect condition.
Interior
The white vinyl seat upholstery is in very good condition and shows extremely well.
Likewise, the white convertible top is in excellent condition and operates correctly.
Engine
The engine in this Galaxie is the optional 352 “Thunderbird Special”, and it starts and runs properly. During the engine rebuild, we understand that it was set up to run on lead-free gasoline. The engine compartment is fully detailed and the 352 has Ford’s chrome dress-up kit. Despite its quickness, it is smooth-running and a pleasure to drive.
Transmission
The car has an automatic transmission that shifts properly and effortlessly.
Tires, Brakes, Comfort and Safety Systems
The car is equipped with four narrow whitewall 215/75R14 tires mounted with period correct spinner wheel covers.
There is, of course, power steering and power brakes to make driving—and stopping—effortless.
The safety equipment (lights, horn, wipers and turn signals) all work.
The car’s convertible top was replaced and the top and rear window are in good condition. The lowering/raising mechanism works properly.
The Classy Family Cruiser That Defined an Era
The Galaxie 500 convertible was a car that helped define the ‘60s as families wanted a car with more pizzazz that could take 4-6 people out on the town. Now you can relive that era with an extremely nice example of these fine cars from Ford Motor Company. This Rangoon Red convertible will be equally at home at the local cruise-ins, car shows or ice cream shop!
