Finished in a vibrant shade of blue with a clean white hardtop, this 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 captures the confident flair of mid-60s American automotive design. Its long, low stance and sculpted lines are complemented by a re-chromed front bumper and color-matched steel wheels, offering timeless curb appeal from every angle. Inside, a two-tone light blue and white interior brings a bright, airy feel to the cabin and echoes the era’s signature look.

Power comes from the original 352 cubic inch V8 engine, delivering smooth and steady performance. The automatic transmission shifts with ease, and power steering ensures confident handling whether cruising downtown or gliding along country roads. This Galaxie blends big-block power with effortless drivability, making it equally enjoyable at local shows or weekend outings.

Several recent updates enhance both dependability and peace of mind, including new front disc brakes, a new radiator, starter, alternator, spark plugs, wires, and a new windshield. These thoughtful improvements make this classic as reliable as it is stylish, while keeping its vintage charm intact.

While the Galaxie presents beautifully, it also wears a few signs of its journey—minor rust near the gas cap door, inoperative dome lights, a missing radio antenna, and a carburetor in need of a choke add character while offering simple fixes for the next owner. These small details do little to detract from the overall presence and road-readiness of the car.

Lovingly cared for by a dedicated owner over the last four years and previously maintained by a knowledgeable mechanic, this Ford Galaxie 500 represents a well-balanced mix of originality, functionality, and investment-grade style. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or looking for your first classic, this full-size icon delivers on all fronts.

A turn-key classic with unmistakable presence—ready to be driven, admired, and enjoyed.
