The 1964 Galaxie was described by Ford as "a car bred in open competition and built for total performance". For 1964, there were 16 models to choose from to include different varieties of sedans, hardtops, convertibles, and wagons. This Galaxie carried much the same lines as the 1963 with new distinctive styling through new trim moldings, grill and rear panel design, and all new interior trim styling. Ford offered the Galaxie 500 and 500XL in the sedan, hardtop and convertible body styles. The 500XL was the deluxe model with standard plush vinyl bucket seats with console, special XL trim moldings and ornamentation and standard equipment V-8 engine, and full wheel covers. 1964 was another year of awesome performance with six different engine choices. The most notable were the Thunderbird 390ci V-8 engine at 300 horsepower, and two versions of the all-powerful 427 power plant. Many consider the 1964 the most attractive Galaxie ever built. The 1964 Fords are also legendary for their racing history as many of the factory lightweight cars were used by the Ford Motor Company extensively on the race track. This racing experience gave these cars instant popularity that continues to the current day.
This is an extremely rare Tri-Power muscle car; one of only forty-two believed to be equipped that way. Powered by the P-Code 390ci V8 with a factory claimed 340hp, but probably much higher. It has 63,334 original miles and shows that on the Pennsylvania title. It was delivered new to Chattanooga Ford in Chattanooga, Tennessee where it sold for $4,006.70. It is equipped with the factory 4-speed manual transmission, chrome dress-up kit, heavy duty suspension and fender skirts. It comes with a magazine article, original invoice, original owner’s manual, receipts and appraisals. A truly exceptional and mostly original car.
