1964 ford galaxie - concord, ncstreetside classicsconcord, nc 28027ph: 8665428392web: www. Carsforsale. Com/used_cars_for_sale/dealerinventory. This 1964 ford galaxie 500 xl was touched by ford's racing gods back in the day... So it was the bright red coupe that looked like a luxury machine, right down to the vinyl roof. The sloping rear roof (special to '64) might have made the car more attractive, but its true purpose was better aerodynamics on the track. In fact, this coupe saw some competition in its day (more on that in a moment.) but it's cool to be able to tell the story of why ford made this one-year style, and then own one of the few examples that got to be used it to the fullest. Plus, while the original rangoon red paint had at least one respray earlier in this coupe's life, the black vinyl top is believed to be original. This is quite significant, because this is the only time the head of the r-code galaxie registry has ever seen one. Plus, owning a galaxie 500 xl was about showing off ford's top-of-the line, and that's seen in great brightwork on places like the artful strip that ran the full length of the car, surrounding the jet-inspired taillights, and on the front grille with horizontal waves of chrome. It just makes us think a coupe like this was built to be a true sleeper that could pull up next to others at the stoplights playing incognito. All they would see would be a luxury presentation right before this powerful galaxie showed them its taillights. It's a true saturday night hero. The interior matches the vinyl roof with a very original presentation of the black bucket seats. The light piping provides a nice contrast that is also carried on the door panels and desirable center console. The engine bay is filled with blue oval big block power. The r-code 427 cubic-inch v8 is believed to be original, which makes it part of an ultra rare upper-echelon of galaxies (it even came originally with a transistor ignition, which was only applied to a handful of cars.) this would already make it a desirable classic, but those plates on the front bracket are what makes it true royalty. The coupe was sent to holman-moody, who built all the best ford racers back in the day. Don't believe it, then just take a look at the dyno sheet that proves 480 horsepower at the rear wheels. This car's competition package is original right down to the nascar-spec detroit locker rear end. Bucket Seats✔ AM/FM
