Vehicle Description
This 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 is the king of the street sleepers.
Beneath the elegant color is a slick fastback roofline and a potent
390 under the hood. It's a true factory muscle car before there
were muscle cars.
What makes this coupe look so great is the quality of its
condition. The gold paint gives a true precious metal impression
thanks to the generous metal flake and the luster of modern
clearcoat. And of course it would never look this good if all the
sheetmetal were not in top condition. The white painted roof gives
this a convertible-style appearance, and the pillarless hardtop
body backs this up with the same wind-in-your-hair-experience.
You'll also appreciate the nicely preserved Galaxie 500 trim, with
bumpers that have obviously been restored and a good shine on the
stainless. The fastback might have been built to help with NASCAR
aerodynamics, but all the trim was still inspired by the jet age,
including the chrome fins on the front fender, and of course, the
afterburner taillights on the very tidy rear end. But one piece
that truly modern are the Ridler wheels. They have a staggered size
for an aggressive appearance that hints at the performance in the
engine bay.
The interior has deep black seats with contrasting light piping.
Completing this midnight effect are the pristine door panels, dash,
and carpet. All of this seems to be part of an investment in
keeping this coupe looking quite nice. Of course like any good
1960s car there's plenty of bright trim to make this dark interior
shine. The driver gets the original premium chrome ring wheel.
Beyond that is the wide gauge cluster that spans nearly half the
dash. It includes a massively long speedometer flanked by two
barrel style gauge clusters. While the whole package looks
thoroughly factory original, there is one part that is an
interesting upgrade. The radio might appear period correct, but its
actually an AM/FM/cassette with digital tuner, so it's much more
adaptable to more modern music players.
Pop the hood and you'll see the large a 390 cubic-inch
"Thunderbird" V8. Dressed with stunning gold Thunderbird valve
covers and a custom pinstripe air cleaner, the way it matches the
exterior color will always be a hit at the car shows and
cruise-ins. A motor this size has no trouble giving this full-size
Ford some real get-up-and-go, and the dual exhaust makes a powerful
sound without losing this car's cruising attitude. Plus, this
Galaxie's three-speed transmission, power brakes, and modern
General G-Max tires make the total experience quite comfortable
going down the road. So this coupe is the complete package of fast
with class.
This is old school luxury and power at its finest. It provides
muscle car fun and room to carry everyone. With a presentation like
this, and a value price, we don't expect this car to stay in our
showroom long. Call today!!!
