*1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible*Named to evoke visions of
America's space race, the Galaxie started as a trim level on the
Fairlane in 1959, and in 1960, took the place of Ford's premier
full-size offering. Available in coupe, sedan, convertible and
station wagon variants, the Galaxie offered an appealing list of
available engine and transmission options, making it practical, as
well as fun to drive. This 1964 Galaxie 500 Convertible comes from
single family ownership out of Missoula, MT and was specified with
an appealing powertrain.This Galaxie 500 Convertible looks
absolutely stunning in black, with a contrasting white convertible
top. 1964 represented the final year of the first generation of
Galaxie construction, and features some nice styling alterations,
making the car look a bit more futuristic, as well as a bit more
aerodynamic thanks to Ford entering the hardtops in NASCAR. This
car sits low on a set of American Racing 5-spoke billet wheels,
that give it a nice pro-touring vibe, and also allow for the use of
modern high-performance tires. The chrome presents very well around
the car and the signature rocket afterburner-style taillights
complete the exterior look.The interior of the Galaxie 500 was
updated some for 1964 as well, and features a long horizontal
speedometer, flanked by auxiliary gauges on the sides. Polished
trim lines the center of the dashboard, along with teh center
console that runs between the two front bucket seats. Like the
front buckets, the rear bench is wrapped in black vinyl which is in
quite nice condition. The stereo in the car has an original looking
faceplate, but a Sirius XM receiver is installed on the dash,
displaying the unit's modern internals.Under the hood looks to be a
potent 427ci V8, breathing through three two-barrel carburetors. At
the time, this would have been one of Ford's most high-performance
engines, and in this car, it runs through a sought-after 4-speed
manual gearbox. Not only did this engine make the Galaxie 500 one
of the fastest full-size cars on the market, when breathing through
the tri-carb setup, it makes an outstanding noise which is even
better appreciated with the top down.This Galaxie 500 Convertible
combines the ultimate in 1960s design, with one of the era's most
legendary powerplants, making for a truly enjoyable driving
experience. This is a great option for the enthusiast looking to
take the whole family out for a cruise, while still enjoying rowing
your own gears and the power from that massive V8 under the
hood.*Key Features* * Single Family Ownership From New * Long-Time
