Pulled from a California barn and now ready for a new chapter, this 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD carries a mere 44,274 believed original miles on its odometer. Finished in factory Vintage Burgundy, this big Ford's paint is accented by cool hand-laid purple stripes that give it an old-school custom vibe. From its fastback roofline to its aggressive stance, this Galaxie makes no apologies for its full-size presence. The 15" Centerline wheels wrapped in P235/60R15 tires complete the period-correct modified look while maintaining the classic lines that made these first-year LTDs so special.
Burgundy vinyl covers the spacious interior, creating a cohesive look that matches the exterior perfectly. The bench seats have been reupholstered to maintain the factory appearance while providing modern comfort for long drives. A clean dash with a fresh pad houses the simple but effective controls, including the column-mounted shifter for the automatic transmission. The AM radio stands ready to provide the soundtrack, while power steering makes wheeling this full-size Ford a surprisingly easy task, even in tight spaces.
A 352 cubic inch V8 sits between the front fenders, now upgraded with a mild cam for extra grunt and modernized with MSD Atomic electronic fuel injection and ignition for reliable starting and smooth operation. The FMX 3-speed automatic transmission handles the power delivery with no fuss, while the Ford 9-inch rear end with highway-friendly 3.00:1 gears makes this Galaxie equally capable on back roads or interstates. The coil spring front and leaf spring rear suspension maintain the original ride quality, while power front disc brakes provide needed stopping power.
