The Galaxie got its name from the race to space between the US and Russia, as Ford sought to capitalize on its popularity. The Galaxie 500 XL was the top-of-the-line model in the Galaxie lineup for 1964. Notable features included bucket seats, a console, and a floor shifter. The Galaxie 500 XL looked lower and wider than ever and was the pick for buyers seeking a big, stylish cruiser with plenty of muscle to back up the sharp looks.
The example offered here houses a rebuilt 390 cubic inch V8 @ 300 HP with less than 500 miles driven. It is mated to a 3 speed Cruise-O-Matic transmission transferring power to its stock rear axle with a 3.0:1 ratio. The chassis carries all new wiring and wiring harness, new brakes, shocks and tires, new fuel tank, as well as a rebuilt front end. Inside, a new blue vinyl interior and carpet is protected by a new convertible top and completely surrounded by tinted glass.
Driving this elegant beauty is enjoyable with the help of its power steering and new aluminized exhaust system. Other than a full tank of fuel, this car needs nothing for endless days of cruising.
