Vehicle Description
This 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL is a premium classic coupe wrapped
around a slick red appearance and powered by a muscular V8. And so
we know you're hooked even before we mention all the best upgrades
like A/C comfort and upgraded handling. So yes, you're really
looking at the best of everything.
What makes this coupe look so great is the quality of its
condition. The factory-correct Rangoon Red has been given a quality
respray so that it has a terrific gloss and shine every time the
sunlight hits the bold color. And of course it would never look
this good if all the sheetmetal were not in top condition. We love
a good pillarless hardtop body, because it helps reinforce the
top-of-the-line 500 XL trim. And while the lines of it were
developed to give these a better profile for NASCAR aerodynamics,
all the trim was still inspired by the jet age. This includes the
chrome fins on the front fender, sweeping side trim, and the
afterburner taillights on the very tidy rear end. But one piece
that truly modern are the Ridler wheels. They have a staggered size
for an aggressive appearance that hints at the performance in the
engine bay.
Inside, the worlds of performance and premium are merged together
expertly. The range-topping XL line meant front bucket seats and a
stylish center console in-between. As Ford's full-sized offering,
there's plenty of room to carry family and friends along for the
ride, but even when it's just you, this Galaxie coupe excites. The
driver gets the original premium chrome ring wheel. Beyond that is
the wide gauge cluster that spans nearly half the dash. It includes
a massively long speedometer flanked by two barrel-style gauge
clusters. While the dash has all the great original pieces still in
place, you'll also spot some nice upgrades like the auxiliary
gauges and AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, the air conditioning is running
modern R134a, so you'll love rolling down all the windows and
showing off this pillarless hardtop all year long.
Under the hood you'll see the large a Ford FE block. This is a 390
cubic-inch V8, which is correct for a Z-code car like this. The mix
of gold and chrome in the engine bay is a striking appearance that
will be a hit wherever you pop the hood. Yes, it does have 427
markings, but with the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and
Edelbrock Performer intake, it's already quite a stunning power
package that you won't have to make excuses for. In fact, the
rumble of the dual exhaust is a hypnotic muscle car symphony.
Factory features like the three-speed automatic transmission and
power steering keep this powerful coupe under easy control. And
upgrades like the slotted and drilled front disc brakes and modern
Toyo performance tires give you superior all-around handling.
This is old school luxury and power at its finest. It provides
year-round fun and room to carry everyone. With a look like this,
and creature comforts included, we don't expect this car to stay in
our showroom long. Call now!
