1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible Restomod Description
This 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible is for all of those who like to standout in a tasteful and vintage way. It's sporty on the outside, has an elegant A/C interior, and packs a nice fuel-injected V8 upgrade and overdrive transmission under the hood.
The Ford Galaxie cars are really starting to come into their own on the classic car market. These were truly the full-sized Fords that followed the idea of lower, wider, and longer as far as it could. It even places the headlights and taillights as far in the corners of the body as possible. This allowed for some seriously large chrome elements such as the form-fitting chrome bumpers and the grille that looks like a double-stack metal fence containing the V8 in its corral. The factory-correct red paint has a good gloss that work well for this sunshine-ready convertible. And the full-length side trim really helps to highlight both the length of the car and the status that came with a Galaxie 500. That vintage premium feeling is continued in the details like the fenders skirts and intricate Ford wheel covers.
While we like how the newer black convertible top looks crisp against the red exterior, with just the touch of a button, it goes down to reveal an even better coordinating interior. After all, a red-on-red convertible has a terrific look, and this Ford was born this way! This has a cool stock presentation, and you're reminded of the Galaxie 500's premium feel with the black streak and wood-like trim that's both on the doors and dash. In fact, the two rows of seats even have a black insert with sparkle pattern embossed in them to give this a vintage and uniform feeling. This really feels like a well-respected classic, from the color-matched convertible boot, to the way the doors close with authority. While you'll love the vintage style, they also added nice upgrades. For example, the AM/FM/CD stereo offers upgraded driving music. The R134a air conditioning is ideal for a convertible you want to enjoy in any kind of weather. And when you twist the key, you hear the best upgrade of them all.
Under the hood is a Ford legend, but a much younger one that what the factory gave on this Galaxie. It's a fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 motor with roller cam. These are terrific hardy engines with a substantial list of performance parts available. But before you go and turn this droptop into the ultimate sleeper, you may want to enjoy the quality installation and attitude this one already has. This is a superior smooth runner that fires up easily and makes a subtle rumble from the Dynomax dual exhaust. The four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive is in-tune with the soft suspension to deliver a terrific classic cruising attitude. Plus, power steering and an upgraded power brakes package deliver the kind of classic that's approaching daily driver ease.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the full-size droptop classic that's easy to enjoy near or far. So if you love the open road, don't miss this upgraded Galaxie. Call now!
