1964 Ford Galaxie 500 ALL ORIGINALMATCHING s

ALL ORIGINAL!!! ORIGINAL MATCHING NUMBERS!!! This vehicle is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback with fender skirts. This vehicle was driven and well maintained through 1977. In 1977, my grandfather bent the driver''s side door hinge and put it up in a barn. It has not been restored, but will probably fire up as it was running when he put it in the barn. The only rust is what you see on the driver''s side quarter. This will make an awesome project car. The odometer shows 16,915.9 miles on this car. The original engine is still in the car, 8 cylinder 352 CID, 250 horsepower, 1-1 BBL carbs and 9.3:1 compression.
The Ford Galaxie was the primary full-sized model of automobile built in the United States by the Ford Motor Company for model years 1959 through 1974. As often is the case with American cars, the model names shifted around from year to year, but the Galaxie was always Ford''s full-size car. In the late 1960s, the low trim Fords would be the Ford Custom 500, while the high end would be the XL and LTD, but the Galaxie was normally the high volume counterpart to the Chevrolet Impala. Some Galaxies were high-performance, racing specification machines, a larger forebear to the muscle car era. Others were plain, family sedans.
