Ford Galaxie 390 V8 1967

General description : FUN/CLEAN RAGTOP! STRONG 390 V8, AUTO, COLD A/C, POWER TOP, VERY SHARP CRUISER!!

Ford fans, we know that you see a lot of Chevelles out there, but we hope this pretty 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible at least makes up for some of it. A handsome mid-sized ragtop, it offers 390 V8 power, room for six in the stylish interior, and it remains a car that you won't see at every cruise night and car show.
Ford's Galaxie had sporting lines that cleverly hid its XL size, and this bright red ragtop certainly looks racy from any angle. Despite the affordable price, this is a very nice car in which someone has invested heavily, starting with a recent repaint in the original code T Candyapple Red. It was clearly a quality job, because it's holding up remarkably well with only a few signs of use and a fantastic shine that highlights the sweeping fender lines. Having lived all its life in a warm climate, you know the bones underneath are good and the way the doors fit is reassuring in a big ragtop like this. It's not a show car, but you already knew that, and besides, show cars aren't any fun, so you can grab your friends or family and hit the road without worries. Better still, all the chrome and stainless trim is in great shape, showing some signs of age but nothing major, and it lends the big Galaxie a very ornate look.
There's got to be a lot of recent work inside because the black interior is in fantastic condition. The upholstery is a handsome vinyl with simple pleats and ornate inserts, with newer black carpets that are plush enough to seriously dampen noise and heat. We believe the door panels are original and there's a bit of fading on the driver's side where someone's arm has been resting, but it's so nice you wouldn't even consider replacing it. The gauges are in good order and you'll be happy to note that this car sports fully functional factory A/C, so cruising is never uncomfortable in this big ragtop. There's room for six thanks to wide, comfortable bench seats front and rear and nobody will complain about the lack of leg room because this is a big car in every sense of the word. The original AM radio is still in the dash and could stand to be upgraded and there's a recent black power top sealing things up. The trunk is truly massive and includes a full-sized spare tire.
The Z-code 390 cubic inch V8 is the car's original engine and makes loads of torque so the Galaxie feels light on its feet. The engine bay is very nicely detailed, complete with bright Ford Blue on the engine and air cleaner, and the overall condition suggests that it's been expertly maintained over the years. The A/C compressor dominates the view, but underneath you'll find power steering and power brakes and a heavy-duty C6 3-speed automatic transmission, so this ragtop feels luxurious on the road. There are no major upgrades or notable modifications, and it exhales through a dual exhaust system that has a pleasant, soft burble. If the door tag is to be believed, there are 3.89 gears out back that suggest someone wanted a fast ragtop, and with the torquey 390, it is indeed quick off the line. The red paint advertises a bit, as do the flashy Cragar mags wearing recent 225/70/15 blackwall radials.
There's a lot to like in this big Ford ragtop and the affordable price makes it an awesome entry-level hobby car with a lot of performance and style. Call today!

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
