Vehicle Description
With excellent red color inside and out and a big 390 V8 under the
hood, this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible knows how to be a true
classic cruiser. And the overall impression of this one lets you
know it's ready for you to create an even more personalized
classic.
The trim tag says this is a factory-correct Rangoon Red car. The
pictures show you that this one is quite attractive, but it's also
one that won't ever make you think twice about breaking in some new
asphalt. So, it's a driver-quality car, which means it's
driver-ready. And that's the core fun of this classic. The Galaxie
500 is a premium full-size Ford. So this one loves to show off its
size and style with the wave-like grille, sweeping full-length side
trim, afterburner-style tail lights, and wraparound chrome bumpers.
And there are the right touches of vintage elegance, like the rear
fender skirts, white convertible top, and correct wire wheel
covers.
While the white convertible top gives this Ford distinction, when
it goes down, it reveals an even more attractive style. After all,
the complete red package inside and out makes you see this as a
full red-blooded American classic. This has all the correct classic
details you love, like the vintage steering wheel, stylized chrome
running across the dash, and a color-matched convertible boot. And
there's something terrific about two wide rows of bench seats and a
ton of legroom when you almost can't believe everyone is this
comfortable in a convertible.
The big 390 cubic-inch motor filling the engine bay was one of the
best mixes of block size and displacement of its era. With a
four-barrel carburetor on top, a motor of this size has no trouble
giving this full-size Ford some real get-up-and-go. And the sound
of the dual exhaust is deep yet dignified - an ideal all-day tune.
Since this is still meant to be a true cruiser, you also have good
anytime-driving features, like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and power brakes.
There's a lot of potential in this car. You may want to give it a
tune-up to unlock even more power from the big motor. Maybe you
want to upgrade the finish to bring out more of the cherry glow. Or
it would be nice to restore the undercarriage with modern
suspension components. These are all the kinds of projects you
dream about when you have a drop-top boulevard king like this in
your garage Call now!
