"1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible�
Sleek but square best describes the 60's Galaxies which were the full sized Fords, generally consumer oriented commuter cars. �But engineers realized the potential by lowering the weight and increasing the engine size, constantly fiddling with cars behind the scenes to create fast, often legendary drag cars.
For consignment, a more pedestrian oriented version of a '64 Galaxie 500 XL convertible. �This would have been top of the line even as fastbacks were more common, and this is a fantastic car that's been garage kept by our�long term owner since at least 1998 and is straight, clean, and eager to orbit in a new owner's garage.
Exterior
Raven Black beautifully covers this car, accented by a side spear that contains the script emblem on the front fender, tapering back to a stylized, space age emblem on the back. �The dramatic elongated rear section and fender skirts aid in giving this car the sleek descriptive, preceded by a sculpted, narrow grille and quad headlights. �The chrome bumpers and other metal work are in good condition but are showing imperfections, including minor bubbling, cracking, scratches. �Meanwhile, the black canvas soft top shows a bit of age along with some seam separation and tearing, but its glass window is intact. �The tail is appropriately jet inspired with a pair of round afterburners as taillights, common in Ford lineup of the era. �Exhaust tips exit symmetrically under the lights and 14-inch wheels have XL hubcaps. �
Interior
Beautifully sculpted door panels include courtesy lights which appear here as part of the XL package. �Aluminum inserts on vinyl backing with differing patterns and textures are all in great condition. �The front bucket seats are low backed and black with white piping. �We note some softening of the driver's side while the passenger seat and its shell look to be in good shape. �The rear seats which dip in the center back to allow a Galaxie emblem which is also the rear seat speaker in good condition. �An ashtray and window crank are provided for each rear passenger. �A black rimmed steering wheel with horn ring has an XL emblem and the dash is a model of 60's era simplicity and more jet inspired design. �The factory AM radio is in place and has been retrofitted with�FM capabilities situated next to an analog clock. �A striated center console houses the simple shifter in molded plastic and a topped storage bin. �The black loop style carpet is in great shape as is the trunk which has a fitted mat and spare tire.
Drivetrain
A 352ci V8 is under the Raven Black hood and is rated at 250 horsepower. �It sports a 4-barrel carburetor and a Cruise-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission. �The Ford 9"" rear axle contains 3.00 TracLok gears...gotta love how they named things in bygone eras! �Meanwhile, power drum brakes occupy the front and back. �
Undercarriage
Essentially driver quality underneath with just hints of surface rust in areas. The dual exhaust makes a beeline for the back where they meet a pair of glasspack style mufflers before exiting through chrome tips. �We note oil on the rear differential, the oil pan and some oil drift on the frame in front. �Independent coil spring suspension is in front and leaf springs are in the back. � Everything looks solid with no invasive rust seen anywhere.
Drive-Ability
What a cool ride! �We prime the four barrel and the car starts up without complaint, idles nicely, and rolls smoothly onto our tarmac for a quick review. �It's wide and low and we can just imagine cruising with the top down so�with the flick of a switch we went topless. �Plenty of horsepower and comfort and a smile inducing A+ on the functionality test. �Everything seems to be in good working order. �
A Ford Galaxie 500 appeared in Kojak, I-Spy, That Darn Cat!, and hundreds of other TV shows and films. �And so, to some of us, they're as familiar as an old friend. �We love the looks and vibes this car puts out. �Here's one that's ready to make a splash down in someone's life. �It's out of this world! �
