Bit chin Galaxie
 

So what thinks the brain trust? I think this is seriously cool!

Id drive that

Sweet! My preference though is for more of a stock example - and also not in red - but no doubt this one is a beauty.

For that kind of cheddar though I'd get a different muscle car, myself.

Passes everything but gas stations and tire shops!
Love the old Galaxies! Learned to drive on a 64 two door 3 on the tree 352.
Was a cool old car.

Neighbors have a pair of 65 convertibles - bone stock. Apparently at one time their dad had a dozen or so.

Cool car, but do "survivor" and re-spray go together?

I look for those twice a month. Every one I find is already restored.

One of my childhood friend's dad worked at a Ford dealership in Norfolk (Kimnach Ford) and every year would drive a new Ford. We lived there from '55-'70 so I witnessed in person every new Ford model drive by my house daily...and yeah that included the Galaxies! Beautiful cars....always one of my favorites.

AS an aside I just Googled Kimnach Ford and looks like they closed up in 2011....wow....sad affair......

I like that a lot! Great color, good looking wheels and stance.

But.......

If a Galaxie is priced like that, I'd hate to see what kind of money Starliner owners think their cars are worth!!!

Just to clarify, the seller is known to ask a premium. Ignore the price, I just think it's a cool car with the right VIN code. Wouldn't take much to make it close to original again.

I would take the Starliner given the choice.

I'd Armor-All the passenger side of that bench seat so that chicks slide over on a hard right. It's a cruiser!

I used to own a 63 Galaxie 500 convertible. Wish I still had it.

The price on this one appears to be a bit high, no?

This one's more my style.....

❶ CLASSIC 63 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible Need Gone OBO

I have always wanted a 64 Ford Thunderbolt with the tear drop hoodscoop and the 427 4 spd. I know this is a very desirable car that goes for easy 6 figures at the big auctions.

The powerplant alone is gold to the Ford crowd. Should say, legendary to the vintage musclecar era. As for the Galaxie series, we had quite a few in our family. From 1959 to 1968. Good memories.

(side note (pun :) Whats a SOHC engine going for these days?)

I'd rock that and so would the good Reverend...

When I was living in Seattle, I called that guy a couple times about various cars. They were always over priced. It seems like he is fishing for suckers, and sadly, he probably finds them.

Great car Baz!

40k for a Sohc you can build them with all new parts now! My Dad built a 427 into a 448 for a friends 427 galaxie

Boy... yeah... it checks all the right boxes... 2 door, 427, 4 on the floor, 9 inch.
Sweet ride.

Dunno, maybe I'm getting old but that thing would scare the poo out of me, imagine how fast it is with the 427... then imagine going that fast with the dated suspension/brakes.

I learned to drive white knuckling mom and dad's 60's vintage GM V8 cars... and have little desire to go back.

Pretty sure $40K would put me in a nice hot rod Porsche that is competent at triple digits thank you very much.

Flashback to my brother's '65 El Camino.. 450HP with non-power drum brakes..

It got converted to discs pretty quickly after Dad drove it.

Love that car. The 'vert in Baz's picture has potential and the price is right, $12k is a steal. I've been looking at mid-60s convertibles to replace the Z-3. I'm tired of banging my head on the top frame. This old back just doesn't bend like it used to.

I've been over 150 mph in 1970's cars more than once and plenty of time offer 120. Airflow management and fresh shocks truly help. If you don't get air built up under the car all is good.

My ex-FIL had one when it was. His favorite car of all time and he had some sweet muscle cars in the day.
