Vehicle Description
An amazingly presented/preserved example of a top-of-the-line,
full-size Ford is something to really notice. After all, this 1964
Ford Galaxie 500 XL coupe has great correct colors and a powerful
V8 it likely had since days one. So you're looking at a terrific
price for a premium and preserved classic.
What makes this car look so great is the quality of the recent
professional respray of the factory-correct Wimbledon White. This
legendary Ford color always gets respect at car shows, so it's
great to have such a high-gloss shine. You'll also appreciate the
nicely preserved Galaxie 500 trim that has a unique full-length
design. Plus, the wave-like grille and form-fitting bumpers have a
mirror-like shine. The fastback might have been built to help with
NASCAR aerodynamics, but all the trim was still inspired by the jet
age, including the chrome fins on the front fender, the
turbine-style wheel covers, and of course, the afterburner
taillights on the very tidy rear end.
The interior is said to be all-original, and with this exceptional
condition, you better believe this Ford has spent its life as
someone's baby. And that's not too hard to believe because the
Galaxie 500 XL held the top rung of Ford's premium coupe ladder. So
you got a bucket seat interior with a center console in between -
making this an executive-level ride worthy of executive-level care.
And like any good 1960s car, there's plenty of bright trim to make
this dark interior shine. The driver gets the original premium
chrome ring wheel. Beyond that is the wide gauge cluster that spans
half the dash. It includes a massively long speedometer flanked by
two barrel-style gauge clusters. While the whole package looks
thoroughly factory original, you do get an upgrade to an
AM/FM/cassette radio, which allows you to have more modern tunes in
this very vintage ride.
Open the hood for a true treat. The 352 cubic-inch V8 is authentic
right down to the bright blue valve covers and air cleaner. You
even get factory stickers and the FoMoCo washer bag. This is
believed to be the original motor, and even the mileage is believed
to be actual! So that just adds to the allure of this honest total
package. But this coupe is for more than just for showing off.
Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this V8 is the ideal early
'60s powerplant. It's both brawny and refined, making the
performance seem almost effortless. Plus, there are great driving
features like power steering and a three-speed automatic
transmission.
This is old school luxury and power at its finest. With a look like
this, and priced so right, we don't expect this Galaxie to stay in
our showroom long. Call today!!!
