2 Door Hard Top, Big Block 390, Automatic on 2040-cars

1965 Ford Galaxie 2DR Hardtop, 390 C.I. Big Block V8, 4 Barrel Carb, Dual Exhaust, 3 SPD Automatic.
Car runs and drives fine.

Shocks and Suspension bushings recently redone front and rear. New Drum brakes all the way around.  Radiator was replaced 4 years ago.  The old Interior is shot, It’s all there, but the seats need new foam and upholstery. I’ve just been cruising it around for the last couple years with blankets over them. Fun to cruise with the front and rear windows down, showing off the hard top’s lines in the nice weather.  The body lines are straight but it does have some rust. The trunk floor is rusted out, but elsewhere in the trunk area is rock solid. The Left rear qtr will need some work eventually.  The dual exhaust sounds great.  This 2 door hard top looks good cruising.  Its got a well maintained “15 ft paint job” from a repaint some years ago.  Garage kept for the last 8 years.

Aluminum slotted mag wheels and good rubber all around.  Mechanically sound.  It starts, stops, turns and rides as it should.  This is a great looking old  car that can be had for less money than some crazy guys spend on a set of wheels and tires.  Clear NC Title in hand.   It’s a 49 year old American Car. Real Steel throughout!  All lights, gauges, turn signals, etc work!  It’s been maintained to regularly drive around with the kids to get ice cream, to the local car shows and cruise ins and to go to the drive in movies with your honey. I'd like to sell to an adult (motor head or even a fledgling motor head is a plus) who will enjoy it understanding it isn’t a new Honda.   It’s a fun old Ford.  Low reserve, Bid, Buy, and have fun!

Some very cool decoding of it’s production code:

5N66Z100312    63B - O - 57 - 28H - 22 - 1 - 4

5 = 1965
N = Norfolk, Virginia assembly plant
66 = Ford Galaxie 500 2-door hardtop product code
Z = 390 4V V-8 engine
100312 = the 312th Ford scheduled for production at Norfolk for the 1965 model year
63B = Ford Galaxie 500 2-door hardtop body style code
O = Tropical Turquoise  (Ditzler Mix Code 12852)
57 = Turquoise cloth and vinyl interior
28H = scheduled for production on August 28, 1964
22 = Charlotte, North Carolina ordering district
1 = 3.00:1 rear axle ratio
4 = Cruise-O-Matic transmission
As you can see this car was one of the first that were produced at the Norfolk Plant for '65!

a Hardtop coupe with wing windows!  Wing windows are awesome! It also has the neat little pull open vents in the front kick panels that are fully functional.

Selling this for my “local” good friend who lives 4 miles away right here in Garner, NC where the car resides in his garage.  If you are close enough to come see it, feel free to call and arrange a meeting.  I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally for the reserve price.  If you bid above the reserve, then game on! It will be yours if you win the auction.  Thanks a bunch.  Call 919-Eight One 9 – 58 Oh Nine if you want to see the car in person beforehand.  I've tried to accurrately represent this car.  But please ask questions if needed.  Yes, its ready to drive a crusis as-is today!  Just expect to throw a blanket over the seats until you get them re-done.

I can arrange to meet you or your car carrier/transport service.  $1000 of the purchase price needs to be paid within 3 days of the end of auction through PAYPAL or express mailed cashier’s check.  Balance to be paid in full before pick up.
