1967 Ford Galaxie Convertible on 2040-cars

Thanks for looking!  I am selling my 1967 Ford Galaxie convertible.  I bought it in 2006 and believe I am the fourth owner (I even have the original owner’s manual and other documents).  It has been garage kept since I have had it and the previous owner kept it garaged for the 7 years prior to my purchase.    This car is not a project car (though with any almost 50 year old car, it will always have some things to work on…and I will identify some below).  It is dependable and ready to go. To be honest, I have not ruled out making this car my daily car….it would be cool but I’m not sure its right to do so with a classic even though I would trust it as such.  Everything is not original (major items are) but it is awfully close. 

I have a clear TITLE in hand and it is currently licensed in Arkansas.   

This vehicle is in excellent MECHANICAL condition and has been well maintained.  It has the original 390 big block engine (the carburetor was originally a single two barrel but has been swapped for a four barrel intake and carburetor).  Before I bought it, the engine was pulled for a complete overhaul with everything replaced except crank.  In the last year, I have professionally had brakes overhauled and the C6 transmission rebuilt.   I have replaced the gas tank with a new tank and have replaced the radiator with an OEM style radiator.

The WHEELS and TIRES pictured are relatively new and have lots of wear left.  They are oversized and make the vehicle look great.  I do have the original wheels and hubcaps as well and will convey them with the car. 

The INTERIOR is in good shape.  Seats, carpet, and upholstery have been replaced.  The car has the original under dash air conditioning (it works as designed but it isn’t a modern AC unit). 

The EXTERIOR is pretty good shape as well.  The paint is about 10 years old and as such has some stone chips etc but it still looks good.  The red color is the original color.  The power convertible top works well and has no leaks.  The convertible top was replaced when the car was painted.  There is a tear in the rear passenger area (see photo).  I decided not to replace it or deal with it otherwise since I pretty much drive it only with the top down.    The bumpers are fine but I would rechrome them if I wanted to show the car (see photos as well).  The frame has some rust but seems solid. 

I have some spare parts.  They will convey as well. 

Price.  I know one of the biggest questions is always “So how did you arrive at a price?”  Initially, I looked it up on NADA.     The average retail is $15,455.  The high retail is $24,420.  I know the car is more average than high.  Similarly, I looked at the Hagerty valuation tool.  It puts the cars in conditions (with 1 being best).  Feel free to go to their website and look at how they describe them in more detail (or I can email you this car’s pdf), but in a nutshell:

·         Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The one word description for #1 cars is "concours."   This car at condition 1: $29,600

·         Condition #2 cars could win a local or regional show. The one word description for #2 cars is "excellent."  This car at Condition #2: $21,900.

·         Condition #3 cars could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 car, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior. #3 cars drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These cars are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 car.  This car at Condition #3: $15,800. 

·         #4 cars are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the fender has a minor dent. The interior could have split seams or a cracked dash. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or the interior might not be stock. A #4 car can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 car.  This car at Condition #4: $10,000.

So, this car is not concours and I think it would be competitive at a local car show but still not a 2.  It is closest to 3 in my mind.  That pretty much puts Hagerty and NADA in line with one another so I took that median price and backed it off to price it fairly.

I want you to know that this is a good vehicle and I want the buyer to be happy and feel that they got an honest deal.  I think if you compare this to other listings, you will see that this vehicle stacks up nicely when you compare the mileage, features, and condition. 

Please note that I am offering this vehicle locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time. 

Please contact me if you have any questions.  I have more pictures and will be glad to take specific pictures upon request.  Also, if you are interested in flying in, I will be glad to pick you up at the Little Rock airport. 

Thanks for looking!
