Vehicle Description
This is an outstanding example of a southern, quality collector
car. Dialed in and detailed. I bought this car because of it's
condition, colors and features. I bought it from a respected Ford
collector in North Carolina, he owns a Ford dealership. His cars
are always impressive. That was 3 years ago, we sold it immediately
to a good customer of ours. He appreciates quality. He took this
already outstanding car and brought it back even better!
EXTERIOR: This car certainly is striking. The body, paint and
chrome are superior quality. Original Georgia car, then North
Carolina. The body is extremely clean. All along the bottoms, it's
dry factory metal. The rubber flaps over the weep holes are in
place. It's laser straight, not a ripple. The body gaps are like a
new Lexus. There's not a single bubble or signs of body work
anywhere. Has optional fender skirts. The original Rangoon red is
laid out real nice and polished to a very high gloss. The trim
really brings this car to another level. Everyyone rechromes their
bumpers but this car has had every single piece either replaced or
restored. Upfront the grill has been polished and detailed, bumper,
bumper gaurds and spears on top of fenders and hood are rechromed.
Emblems are mint. Stainless moldings down the sides are pristine,
even the frosted center strips. Stainless around the windows and
roof are professionally polished. Door handles, correct antenna
look new. The deluxe mirrors are pristine, they are really
beautiful. In back the anodized trim is polished and detailed.
Bumper and gaurds are rechromed. The wheels have been upgraded to
15 inch and they have R code 427 hubcaps with the spinners. I
recently found a set of these on eBay for $1,200, they're very
desirable. The rims are painted black, the owner even has gold
crown valve stem caps. Tires are radial. The glass is all real
nice, rubber gaskets are soft. The window seals on top the doors
have been replaced. Door jambs are perfectly clean metal with a
glossy coat of red paint. The sill plates are brightly polished,
weatherstrips replaced.
INTERIOR: The interior is gorgeous too, everything is spotlessly
clean. The XL includes bucket seats and console. Carpet is new
bright red with matching embroidered floor mats. Correct upholstery
is new with the chrome piping and medallion. Carpet and seat covers
are easy, it's all the other stuff that separates a nice car from
one that is exceptional. This one is exceptional. I'm looking at
the console right now it looks brand new. The chrome and the silver
between the chrome ribs is pristine. Even inside the armrest looks
new, the screws look new! The door panels are excellent, the
brushed stainless inserts are mint (cool door handles too). The
white headliner is mint. The dash area is detailed. The
instruments, knobs, radio, air conditioning all sparkle. Nothing
cracked, cut or damaged. The visors, mirror, rear the package tray
XL emblem in the middle of the big chrome speaker are all
excellent. In the glove box it has the owner's manual, service
specifications and a high performance equipment owner's manual. It
even has the paper starting instruction procedure on the visor.
Interior lights work.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is beautiful. It has a
lot more to offer then just good looks. The big 390 motor was
rebuilt and it was also enhanced with some really rare parts by the
Ford dealer collector. It has factory Ford aluminum intake and
factory cast iron headers. The motor runs strong, at least 375
horsepower. It was also upgraded with a newer Holley carb with
electric choke. Dressed up with chrome performance style air
cleaner and valve covers with the appropriate stickers. The bay has
been painted a smooth gloss black. All the components look restored
and orderly. The generator was rebuilt, plug wires are
reproduction, hoses and clamps are reproduction. Bottom side of the
hood is painted gloss red, has new insullation. The latches are
cadium plated. This is a factory air conditioned car, the system is
completely intact. All the wiring is run neatly, the nuts and bolts
are not painted over.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The huge trunk compartment has dry clean metal
with its factory red paint. New insulated plaid liner. The jack and
spare rim have been restored, the tire is an original and it's all
mounted properly. There's also a pile of shop manuals and
literature that's included.
UNDERSIDE: Absolutely rust free original metal. The floors, inner
rockers, lower 1/4s are spotless. The seams, spotwelds, weep holes
are all clean. Frame and chassis is clean metal. Shocks, brake
lines, fuel tank were replaced. The dual exhaust is neatly bent and
has Flowmaster mufflers. E-brake cables are hooked up.
I can't use the word perfect but I will defend the statement that
this is one of the nicest 64 Galaxies around. Condition speaks for
itself, red over red is gorgeous and the accessories are
awesome!
