For Sale at Auction: 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL is a factory Q-code example originally equipped with Ford's 427ci high-performance V8 engine rated at 410hp with a single 4-barrel carburetor. It was assembled at Ford's Los Angeles, CA, assembly plant and delivered new to the Los Angeles sales district under DSO 71, with total Q-code Galaxie production limited to 654 units for the model year. The current owner acquired the vehicle in 2015, at which time it was fitted with a rebuilt Holman & Moody 1965-spec side-oiler 427ci V8 engine featuring a steel crankshaft and Le Mans connecting rods. The engine is paired with a large-input, large-output Toploader 4-speed manual transmission and sends power to a correct Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.50 ratio and Traction-Lok differential. A comprehensive restoration performed by the current owner addressed the drivetrain, suspension, braking system, engine compartment, interior and trunk. The suspension components are period-correct, and the braking system retains the original configuration with rebuilt components and NOS Ford fade-resistant brake shoes. The exterior retains an older repaint showing light patina, while the engine bay, interior and trunk present in factory-correct condition. The body is rust-free and has been stored indoors in a climate-controlled environment. Interior equipment includes factory bucket seats, center console, XL-specific trim and a correct Parchment interior. The vehicle is offered with supporting documentation, owner manuals and original sales literature documenting its configuration and restoration.
