Body & Paint:

The body was just professionally restored and freshly painted in its original factory color. (Wimbledon White – "M" Code - M1619) The total cost of this refinishing was $14,493 and was completed in May 2013. All of the body/paint work was done correctly and it shows very well. Any rust repair was done correctly with cutting and removing the weak areas and then welding metal patches into places. (See Restoration photos for details.) The body panel alignment and fit is great. The vehicle was dismantled and the trim moldings/hardware was removed. The vehicle was then stripped down to bare metal, repaired, and then prep for primer and paint. (Original paint was cracking.) There are some nice photos showing the body work process and receipts of the work that was done. The car is also fitted with a set of rear fender shirts giving it a lower and more elegant look. New weather stripping was installed on the entire vehicle after it was painted.

Chrome & Trim:

All of the trim parts on this vehicle are original 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 parts. The trim is free of any dents, dings or scratches. From the receipts, it looks like some of the trim parts were polished, buffed or re-chromed. All of the stainless steel trim moldings are in excellent condition. The aluminum front grill looks almost new without any stone nicks or dings. The headlight bezels along with the taillight bezels are also great. The chrome items such as the bumpers, door handles, mirror and trim pieces all look great without any pitting, fading or haziness. The front and rear chrome bumpers are fitting with the optional chrome/rubber bumper guards.

Convertible Top:

The black convertible top is in excellent condition without any rips, holes, or marks. It is powered and is in good working condition without any leaks or other problems with the hydraulic pump or hydraulic cylinders. The glass rear window is excellent. There is a convertible boot cover that snaps onto the vehicle when the convertible top is down which is also in great shape.

Interior:

The interior is still original. (Original to this vehicle and/or original to another 1964 Galaxie at one time.) The owner wanted to keep the interior original looking so if something needed replacing, he swapped it with another original 1964 Galaxie item. Overall, the interior is in very nice condition and is free of any rips, tears, holes, etc. The factory trim code is "76" which stands for "Black Vinyl Bench Seat". A set of aftermarket gauges and tachometer was added, but could be easily removed if someone doesn't like the look. The interior includes the original AM/FM radio which was refurbished and working along with the factory clock. As far as we know, everything else is also in working condition. (Lights, Wipes, Horns, Speedometer/Odometer, Heater and Gauges.)

Engine Compartment:

Under the hood sits the original stock ("X" code) 352 cu. in. V8 engine. It was professionally rebuilt. It was then painted and detailed to keep the factory appearance. The engine work was completed in 2008 and 2009. (See photos with the detailed repair list.) The engine runs very smoothly and strong. It doesn't smoke, leak, or tick. Bolted to this power plant is a 4-Speed manual transmission. The vehicle originally had an automatic transmission but the owner swapped it out for this more desirable 4-speed. This wide ratio 4-speed manual transmission was also rebuilt and is working like it should. Unsure, but believe the transmission is a Borg Warner T10. Controlling this manual transmission is a chrome Hurst floor shifter that looks period correct for this car. A new Center Force clutch assembly was also install at the same time the transmission was. The rear differential is a 3.55 non-posi.

Glass:

All of the glass is in very nice condition without any cracks, chips or scratches. The windows roll up and down without any problems. It looks to be factory tinted glass. The rear window in the convertible top is also glass and in great shape.

Wheels & Tires:

The factory steel rims were just restored and painted. Mounted on these rims are four new radial whitewall Hankook Optimo H724 tires. The width of the whitewalls look to be period correct for this vehicle. A very nice set of original stock Galaxie spoke spinner hubcaps finish off this wheel combo. They are not dented/dinged up or scratched. Very nice look.

Trunk Compartment:

Trunk compartment was completely refinished to its original condition along with the body/paint work that was completed in 2013. It is show ready. The spare tire is new and matches the four other tires on the vehicle. The jack and jacking tools were also restored and are in excellent condition. Trunk also has new plaid liner/mat and new side panel boards.

Chassis - Frame & Undercarriage:

The undercarriage is clean. The frame is solid along with the floor pans. According to the receipts, here is what was done. A new dual exhaust system w/hangers along with two new mufflers were installed in 2009. The four shocks were replaced in 2002. In 2001 the following work was completed: Removed old wheel cylinders & shoes & installed new; Removed old e-brake cables and installed better factory parts; Cleaned axle hubs and bearings; Packed wheel bearings with new grease; Installed 4 drums; Adjusted 4 brakes; Replaced all brake lines; Installed new fuel lines; Changed brake pedal pad; Mounted rebuilt vacuum booster and master cylinder. Keep in mind that the vehicle was driven very little since any of this work was done.

Restoration Information:

During the past 21 plus years of ownership, the owner has invested over $35,107 to restore the vehicle with original 1964 Ford Galaxie parts and factory paint. This eBay auction's reserve price is only a fraction of that amount which was invested into this vehicle. Priced to sell. The most recent restoration work was on the body and exterior paint that was completed in May 2013. Complete rebuilding of the engine – major work completed in 2008 and 2009. (Very few miles since the rebuild.) This was a labor of love for the owner and a 21 year journey to completely restoring this vehicle. See the photos of the detailed receipt spreadsheet listing most of the work that has been done during this restoration. (Receipts of work are available.)
