1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL NO RESERVE This is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL, 2dr Hardtop. If you follow my auctions you already know that I am a Ford guy. The 1963 1/2-1964 Galaxie Fastbacks are one of my favorite all time cars in the Ford lineup. They are very stylish, and have a great look, and at the time, they were Kings at the Drag Strips, in A/FX and Super Stock Classes. This is the top of the line for a 1964 Galaxie, denoted by the door tag 63C. This is the 500 XL model, which includes Bucket Seats, Console, Deluxe Interior, Exterior Trim, and badges. This car is what I would call a survivor, it is fairly original, and is wearing about 85% of its original paint. The interior is all original, nothing has been replaced. I love a car like this, because what you see is what you get, it can only be original once. If I had the funds for a huge collection, I would collect Survivor untouched cars, there is just something about them that makes them special. It is believed that this car has 80,714 original miles, from the looks of the car, the drivers seat, the brake pedal, and general feeling of the car, I believe it may be true. I do not have documention of the mileage, so you should assume it has rolled over at least once. The body on this car is very nice for its age. It is not perfect by anymeans, but for the most part it is in pretty nice shape. Areas that I have noticed some spot painting is, on the rear truck lid, around the rear window area. There is a area on the passenger side quarter below trim toward the rear. The paint is getting thin in some areas, it is mostly original paint, meaning that this is the paint applied by Ford in 1964. There are various little dings on the car but nothing major, no big dents, just small door dings in various areas, you can see them in the pictures. The chrome and stainless are original, and are in decent shape, but if you were to restore it, you would want to have things polished and rechromed. The doors shut nice and solid, as well as the hood and trucklid, and you will notice all the body lines match up very nice. There are some small surface rust spots at the bottom of the drivers door, and various other spots on the car that will need attention down the road. The rear of the trunk lid, is heavily pitted on the rear, you can see the issues it has. At the bottom of the rear window, there is a factory seam along the bottom of it, the overlaps another piece of sheet metal, this is factory. The factory seam was filled with filler, and it was starting to crack out from age. I chipped it all out along the edge, and wire brushed it and put some primmer on it to protect the metal. The filler panel between the rear window and the trunk panel, has 2 seams that are filled with lead form the factory. On the passenger side, there is some rust in that spot and a small hole, not to bad, but it will need to be repaired correctly. The trunk pan is in excellant shape, I cleaned it out, and chipped away the seam sealer, on the edges, so you will see some surface rust along the seams. This Galaxie trunk is in very nice shape. The frame on the car is in excellant shape, no rust issues, or any damage. The floor boards are in very nice shape, there is no rust, very solid from underneath of the car. The rockers are also in very nice shape, no signs of any rust issues. Here in Oregon, we have really mild winters, and cool summers, and we do not salt the roads, which really gives us the opportunity to have some cars in great survivor condition. Overall the exterior needs to be painted down the road, there are lots of chips and scratches, but frome 20' away it looks decent, and does have a gloss to the paint. The largest scratch is on the hood, see picture. Also there was some primer work, in the rear on the drivers side quarter. The glass is in good shape, the windows roll up and down smoothy. Interior is in decent shape for its age. The interior is all original, and has not bee replaced. The seats are in good shape for being original. The dash pad does not have any cracks, the console is in good shape as well. The headliner is in very good shape. The carpet is original, but needs to be replaced, on the driverside, around the heal pad, and other spots have worn thin, and there is some rips in the carpet. The gauges work in the car, the radio and the clock do not work. The heater and wipers work good. Overall a nice interior for a good driver. The drivetrain is in good shape. The engine is a 1964 Ford 352 V8, it starts right up and does not burn any oil, or blow any smoke. It has good throttle response and sound pretty nice. The eninge runs smooth, the 4V Carb is original to the car with correct tag, the intake manifold is correct Ford part number as well, and the heads look to be correct as well, with C4AE stampings. The engine is supposed to be black, with gold vavle covers and aircleaner. The engine and valve covers were already painted blue a long time ago. I put a new waterpump on it, and repainted the aircleaner so went with blue as well. It has new exhaust donuts on it, new points, and plugs. The gas tank was removed and cleaned as well, and new hoses under the hood as well. This car is very dependable and drives very nice for its condition. The transmission shifts nicely, no unusual noises, no clunks, feels good when it shifts. Same with the rearend, seems nice and tight. I did drain the rearend fluid, and put new gear oil in it. Transmission fluid was also changed recently as well. The brakes work well, and stop the car nicely. Overall mechanically it seems to be in fairly good condition for a vintage car. As time allows for the new owner, it would be a good idea to replace and upgrades things as you own it. But for now, you can drive it around town and enjoy it. It is NOT a trailer queen, but is a nice time capsule , that you would not be afraid to drive, but would also want to park it far away from anyone else in a general parking lot.
