1964 Ford Galaxie Xl Convertible X Code 352 With A/c No Reserve on 2040-cars

1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible -- X Code 352 Engine with floor mounted A/C (dealer option)

352 cruisomatic, P/S P/B Factory Red with a Red interior. The data plate numbers show that the original exterior color was white but has been repainted to exterior RED. Quite stunning actually. You see a lot of Red Galaxies with a black or white interior, but rarely red. Its a bold color combo perfect for convertibles. This is an original Galaxie XL with the bucket seat interior and not some bench seat version with an interior cobbled from a hardtop.

I purchased this car in 2008. When I first got it, it was a good running car that just needed some minor mechanical work and cosmetics. It has its original X code 352 engine and transmission. Back then I repainted it to RED, chromed the bumpers replaced the top and did some upholstery work. I drove it to shows and in parades, and then I parked it inside for 5 years. (It is amazing how fast the years go by) Now my life has changed and I should pass it along for someone else to enjoy.

It was a nice straight, totally rust free car before I painted it in 2009. It is still shiny but sitting under a cover in the garage it has developed some chips, scratches and a ding in the fender where something fell on it. The bumpers have some defects popping through the old re-chrome but they still look nice. The rear bottom quarter panels has some paint bubble but not no paint chips.

The seats were reupholstered in the correct pattern at some point before I got it and remain soft and comfortable.  The door panels are original and have some fading and cracking. The carpet is clean with no visible stains with no tears. The original padded dash is wonderful! It remains soft and without cracks. The top was replaced 4 years ago. It was covered for storage and has held up very well. It retains the correct glass rear window.

I recently pulled it from storage, changed the oil and fired it up. It started easily and now runs well. The power brake booster and master cylinder were bad so I put a new master and booster on it last week. Also the carb jets where cleaned. It drives well but before driving it any distance I would recommend new belts, hoses and all those little maintenance things that go bad from sitting. The bias ply tires were new 5 years ago and have accumulated maybe 500 miles.

The odometer shows 54600 miles. It is tight and rattle free, but who knows how accurate that number might be. This is an honest car that remains in the condition that these cars were found and restored to 20+ years ago. It would be a fun car to enjoy as is or would be an excellent car to re-restore to modern standards.

Last time I offered this car it came so close to hitting the reserve. Now I realize that it really must go so I have listed with no reserve.

I have stored it for the last 5 years and I certainly do not want to continue storing it so the car should be removed within 30 days. I moved it outside of my garage (to get some room) and neither you nor I, want it to sit outside any longer than is absolutely necessary.

I am being honest about offering this vehicle to you; I expect the same courtesy of having you be honest about buying it.
