1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Additional Info:
This is a slammed Galaxie with bulleted details and ALL original, except for the best part...... It sports a balanced '66 Big Block 390 and C6 trans with a mild shift kit. Virtually everything mechanically has either been rebuilt or replaced. It is an absolute BEAST that rumbles and roars with complete build sheet. Thumbs up everywhere I go! No details were spared by a world famous speed shop in Sonoma CA to make this a sleeper that surprises new Mustangs. (Blue car is inspiration)
Its entire life was spent in California until I shipped it to Atlanta recently. It's the first year of the stacked headlights, just like the GTO. I spent over $13k already and planning to redo the all original interior and paint next if no serious takers. It's a daily driver with only about a thousand miles on it since rebuilds. Could become a serious Rod, turn to a Rat, or one heck of a classic. Everything is there, you just determine the final look. I've already done all the expensive, hard work.
A few vitals:
- 390 FE Big Block
- Hot tanked the block, sonic tested
- 428 crank (410 Cubic Inches= BIG BALLS torque)
- ARP main studs, head studs, rod bolts
- Forged lightweight Icon pistons
- Total Seal rings
- Roller Rocker
- Worked-over heads
- Port machined intake manifold
- Rebuilt C6 tranny with mild shift kit gets you down the road REAL fast
- H-D sway bar
- New shocks
- Double-pot power steering
- New belts
- New ignition
- New brakes
- All signals and lights work
- After market tach, oil pressure, temp gauges
- White walls
- Dropped it 5"= Real 'Old School'
- All glass in great shape
- New exhaust
Needs:
- New interior fabric and dash hood (all is there to build on)
- New trunk pan (easily bought new on line)
- Straight body except one dent in right rear quarter. Easily fixed because on flat panel
- New rubber at windows
- Paint
- 2 small rust spots at base of doors (typical and easily cut out)
