Vehicle Description
Pulled from a California barn and now ready for a new chapter, this
1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD carries a mere 44,274 believed original
miles on its odometer. Finished in factory Vintage Burgundy, this
big Ford's paint is accented by cool hand-laid purple stripes that
give it an old-school custom vibe. From its fastback roofline to
its aggressive stance, this Galaxie makes no apologies for its
full-size presence. The 15" Centerline wheels wrapped in P235/60R15
tires complete the period-correct modified look while maintaining
the classic lines that made these first-year LTDs so special.
Burgundy vinyl covers the spacious interior, creating a cohesive
look that matches the exterior perfectly. The bench seats have been
reupholstered to maintain the factory appearance while providing
modern comfort for long drives. A clean dash with a fresh pad
houses the simple but effective controls, including the
column-mounted shifter for the automatic transmission. The AM radio
stands ready to provide the soundtrack, while power steering makes
wheeling this full-size Ford a surprisingly easy task, even in
tight spaces.
A 352 cubic inch V8 sits between the front fenders, now upgraded
with a mild cam for extra grunt and modernized with MSD Atomic
electronic fuel injection and ignition for reliable starting and
smooth operation. The FMX 3-speed automatic transmission handles
the power delivery with no fuss, while the Ford 9-inch rear end
with highway-friendly 3.00:1 gears makes this Galaxie equally
capable on back roads or interstates. The coil spring front and
leaf spring rear suspension maintain the original ride quality,
while power front disc brakes provide needed stopping power.
