Vehicle Description
1965 Ford Galaxie 500
Why This Car Is Special
We have a rare 1965 Ford Galaxie Z-Code show stopper here at Skyway
Classics that came with 390 cubic inch engine and is restored in
the original code paint of Rangoon Red with the awesome red
interior too, as verified by the Trim Tag.
These 1965 Galaxie's were lower, wider, and longer and ours has
plenty of original features and a powerful V8, but with modern
power and suspension upgrades.

Mechanical
The modified 390 cubic inch engine in our Galaxie has plenty of
fresh horsepower with the addition of performance and dress up
parts including the Edelbrock chrome open element air cleaner
sitting atop the tune-able EFI injection system, aluminum
performance intake, aluminum finned Cobra Lemans valve covers,
tubular exhaust headers sending spent gasses back thru the dual
exhaust system to the tips at the rear, performance pulleys, an
Edelbrock aluminum water pump, performance distributor,
electronics, and spark plug wires.
It also benefits with a Wilwood power disc brakes on all four
wheels, power steering, aftermarket air conditioning with the
engine sitting in an engine compartment that is every bit as clean
as it is spacious, surrounded by fresh hoses and properly routed
wiring and looks as new as it did when it was built, and backed by
the 4-speed transmission and H.D. rear end which has Hotchkiss
parts as well as an air ride adjustable behind the license
plate.
Interior
Inside we find a stunning and restored factory correct red split
front bench seat interior with a matching back seat that passengers
can easily climb in and out of.
It includes the chrome 4-speed shifter with black shifter ball unit
mounted on the floor, the red factory steering wheel, the factory
red dash with all the factory gauges sitting in the dash as well as
accessory gauges and an accessory chrome tachometer, matching red
door panels, air conditioning, clock, pushbutton radio, and red
carpeting.
The trunk area in back is just as spacious as you would expect and
is in great shape with a trunk mat and full-size spare tire.
Exterior
The 1965 we have has been redone from top to bottom and the quality
shows overall and especially in the bright shine paint flowing over
the bodywork which was totally redesigned by Ford with upright,
chiseled styling, stacked headlamps and squared-off features.
It has super chrome bumpers, most of the side trim and emblems were
taken off to give it the sleek look it has that truly makes this
car look the part of luxury muscle car.
It rides on chrome aftermarket Riddler 5-spoke mag wheels on BF
Goodrich G-Force Comp-2 performance black sidewall tires showing
off those Wilwood red brake calipers.
Conclusion
This 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 we have here at Skyway Classics is
certainly the finest example of a Z-Code Ford we have ever had. My
description and picture do not do this car justice as to how nice
it is, looks, sounds, and performs.
We will leave that up to you when you see it.
It is a classic muscle car that is very hard to find anywhere, let
alone this restored and with all the originality.
In period advertising, Ford stated, "You'll have to decide whether
it's a cool hot car or a hot cool car."
The way we look at it, we think this 1965 Ford Galaxy stunner is
both.
