1964 Ford Galaxie

This 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 is said to be one of 50 lightweights built for the model year and was reportedly refurbished in 2017. The car is finished in white over red and is powered by a 427ci V8 paired with an HX two-speed automatic transmission. Features include a fiberglass high-rise hood, racing graphics, dual Holley four-barrel carburetors fed by grille-mounted intakes, chrome valve covers, tow brackets, and 15″ steel wheels. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2019, and subsequent service included replacing the speedometer cable, speedometer housing, idler arm bushings, and drag link bushings, as well as rebuilding and adjusting the carburetors. This Galaxie 500 lightweight is now offered by the selling dealer with a factory manual, a removed glovebox disclaimer tag, period photos and press literature, and a Kansas title. The car was refinished in white and features racing graphics and a fiberglass high-rise hood with rear air intakes. The selling dealer reports that the hood was repaired and its paint was touched up during current ownership. Chrome 15″ steel wheels are mounted with Firestone Deluxe Champion Six tires in front and 7.0/29.5-15 M&H slicks in back. The selling dealer notes that a spare set of older slicks is included in the sale. The cabin is trimmed in red vinyl with black rubber floor covers. Racing-style seat belts are fitted, and the car has no radio or heater. The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The seller reports that the speedometer cable and the housing have been replaced. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 26 miles, and total mileage is unknown. The FE 427ci V8 wears dual Holley four-barrel carburetors under an airbox fed by dual air intakes mounted behind the grille. The intake manifold was resealed in May 2020, and the carburetors were rebuilt and adjusted in January 2022. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an HX two-speed automatic transmission. Service in 2020 included replacing the idler arm and drag link bushings.
