1964 FORD GALAXIE

6391cc V8, automatic. This Ford Galaxie convertible came to the UK from the dry state of Arizona in 2023. The 500 XL designation denotes the higher trim variant of Ford's "full-size" flagship, and this example presents in eye-catching overall condition, with an all-red colour scheme inside and out and fresh-looking interior trim. Power comes from a 390cu in (FE-series) V8 and the odometer is displaying 42,536 miles. 

The car has passed 2 optional MoT tests since being imported, the latest with no advisories, although this expired in 2025. Much work has clearly been done at some stage but there is no maintenance paperwork and the V5C is the only documentation we have. The vendor describes its condition as rust-free and tells us he has taken it to local shows. It is supplied with a collection of spares, including a timing kit, distributor and shock absorbers. 

The car runs and drives but we’re told the brakes “aren’t the best”, and we have noticed a knocking noise from the exhaust. The vendor also advises that although the convertible roof works, it sometimes needs help to lift.
