Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible. The Galaxie name was used on Ford's full-size cars from 59 to 61 to try and cash in on the excitement of the space race. Starting in 1962 they added the 500 and 500 XL to the name plate in order to denote its top of the line cars. Competing head to head with Chevrolet's Impala SS's, the full-size convertible market was very tough but the Ford held their own all the way to 1974 when the line was finally discontinued. This beauty is a great example of what the 60's were all about. Finished in a bright red paint job standing on American Racing wheels this Galaxie 500 drop top is truly a sight to behold. The black interior welcomes you with a front bench seat that is fit for all occasions and the 4 speed floor shifter makes you feel like a racecar driver! The power top folds down with ease and makes sure you are ready for any type of weather. Under the hood is a heart pounding 390 Cubic inch V8 and is paired to a 4 speed manual. With its 3.50 rear end just imagine how this car can get up and go! If you're looking for a thrilling example of an American icon this is the one you want to own! Options include power top, power steering, and aluminum wheels wrapped in radial tires. Call today before it is too late 407-771-2000.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
