Up for auction is our 64 Ford Galaxie 500 Fastback. This car was sold new in Fayetteville, Alabama at Lewis Ford. It was only in service for several years before it was parked in the original owners garage, where it sat for many years. When this time capsule was discovered the odometer reading was only 74000 miles. It was owned by its original owner for nearly 53 years!
The car was brought to Colorado where it underwent a full mechanical check; the engine was flushed with all new fluids and filters, resealed, all new ignition tune-up items, the original carburetor was fully rebuilt, all new hoses and clamps, new battery, radiator was flushed out and filled with new coolant, new fuel pump and water pump. The fuel system was also completely flushed. The brake system was also flushed and a new master cylinder was installed. I will say this car runs and drives like an absolute dream. The engine is tight and super smooth with no smoke or odd noises. The C6 automatic transmission is also quiet and smooth. The factory power steering is quiet, smooth and free of any leaks. The brakes work perfectly as expected. It has factory dual exhaust and it is original to the car, there is one area at the cross over where it has some small holes (does not sound loud). I left it original because that truly tells a lot about this car and its originality to have the original exhaust intact. As you drive the car it has a very solid and quiet feel. Going over rail road tracks its SOLID with absolutely no rattles. We have put some miles on the car and its very reliable and fun to drive!
The exterior of this car is stunning. The paint is beautiful and in super condition for being original paint. The passenger door has been repainted and a blend goes about 2 feet into the quarter panel. I don’t see any body work here, as it appears it was just a scratch repair. That portion of the car has some lite checking in the paint. Otherwise, the rest of the paint is original and very nice. The brightwork is all original and super nice. All original glass that is pit free and nearly flawless including the windshield. Inside the trunk is all original and perfect (not a single rust spot). The spare is a very old bias ply whitewall tire with all the original jack hardware. The wire hubcaps are original to the car and very nice. The car also has newer whitewall radial tires.
The interior of this car is amazing. The seats, door panels and carpet are original and look perfect. It has always had rubber floor mats that have kept the carpet like new. The dash in this car shows almost no wear, the dash pad is perfect, all the gauges are crisp and clean, the controls and switches are all working. Everything on and inside this car works perfect; lights, horn, wipers, turn signals, hi-low beam, speedo, gauge function, etc .. The only non-working gauge is the fuel gauge. Inside the glove compartment is a copy of the original title, the original title registration and some receipts from the original selling Ford dealer. This car is a true time capsule and when sitting in the car and the AM radio comes on with some oldies, it feels like your living in ‘64 all over again. The undercarriage is clean and 100% rust free. The frame and suspension have many of its original paint marking and the floors are still primer oxide with only the factory undercoating in the wheel wells. If you are looking for a SURVIVOR Galaxie 500 that is fun to drive and looks great in your garage then this is the car for you. The fact this car is mostly original paint, black on black, and a big block makes it very rare and unusual. This car is affordable and a sound investment.
