Vehicle Description
STK 2162 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 XL The 1965 Ford Galaxie was an
all-new design, much wider than in previous years, and featuring
stacked headlights. This unmolested Galaxie 500XL looks like it
just rolled into the showroom. The current owner has had it in his
collection for the last five years and the odometer reads only
12,756 original miles. Truly genuine, this exceptional hardtop has
been a participant in numerous shows sponsored by the Antique
Automobile Club of America (AACA) and has placed 1st and 2nd at two
different Gran National events. The handsome Blue exterior is all
original and all chrome trim is in near '65 condition. Narrow
whitewalls, chrome fender skirts and correct wire-wheel covers
w/spinners accent the body's timeless lines. The Blue interior is
all 'showroom stock' right down to the AM radio and electric clock.
Standard equipment on these cars was a deluxe offering with bucket
seats, console, wall-to-wall carpeting, courtesy lights and
contoured vinyl upholstery among other luxury and performance
features. The numbers-matching 390-4V/300hp FE engine with dual
exhaust has never been rebuilt and still runs like new. It is
backed by Ford's three-speed Cruise-o-Matic transmission.
Suspension on the 1965 Galaxie was redesigned. Replacing the former
leaf-spring rear suspension was a new three-link system, with coil
springs. The chassis is also equipped with power steering and power
drum brakes. This car arrived at AutoBarn direct from a
'time-capsule'. If you are a serious collector of the Blue Oval
classics, take it home. Call 800-650-1055 or visit
