Vehicle Description
1967 Ford Galaxie Fastback
Reading the 1967 Ford Galaxie magazine ads, Ford did everything in
their power to push the point of strength and durability, as well
as quiet ride. They jumped the Galaxie 500 off the Ski Jump in Lake
Placid, they did a steeple chase run with the car. Anything they
could to prove the point of solid construction. Well-constructed,
yes, but quietly the car was making the point that the engine was
large enough not only to move the car smoothly, but really fast.
Looks like a family car, performs like a muscle car, although the
term muscle car was in its infancy...but they were working on
it.
This beautiful Galaxie 500XL Fastback, has been redone with not
only strength and durability in mind, but also a big emphasis on
beauty. Super straight lines, great gaps, all steel, chrome and
vinyl, a beautiful example of a Ford classic that you can literally
get in, turn the key and start the party.
Exterior
Crimson Metallic adorns the exterior, and one has to look very hard
to find fault with it. Some brite work shows some pitting in
particular on the tail lights, door handles, and badging, however
it appears original to this car. Bumpers are straight and very
clean, as is the front grille, and headlight bezels. Shiny window
surrounds have new rubber trim inserted and are in very nice
condition. Edge trim shows some patina but is otherwise
unremarkable. All glass is clean and scratch free. Standard Galaxie
500 hubcaps are wrapped by new red line tires.
Interior
Going from the ground up, new black carpet covers all floor
surfaces. The black vinyl bucket seats in front are showing nicely
with no tears or rips and have maintained their shape. The rear
bench appears virtually new and matches the front buckets with
pattern and texture. A wonderful center console, in black and
chromed plastic and metal shows slight wear but is in good
condition. A new dash has been installed, and padding on top is
near perfect, has no sun damage or cracks. Door panels appear
original and some of the chromed plastic trim on the panels has
become de laminated, however panels are in good condition. A new
headliner tops the interior off. Seen is factory air conditioning,
and an integrated push button AM radio within the dash.
Drivetrain
A 390Cci V8 is topped by a 2-barrel carburetor and bolted to a
3-speed automatic transmission that shifts smooth as silk. Power
drum brakes all around, power steering, a new windshield washer
bag, and squirter pump, and a new battery have just been installed.
Consigner also states new pushrods have been put into the
motor.
Undercarriage
Looking underneath, a virtually rust free (including surface rust)
environment can be seen. Frame is very stable as the junction of
the body and the frame. Also, a newly installed full exhaust system
is noted.
An overall nice presentation, good running, smooth shifting, turn
key '67 ready for more fun miles, right here at Classic Auto Mall.
