Beautiful tribute to the Ford factory lightweight Galaxies of 1964.Owner/builder started with a 1964 Galaxie hardtop shell in 2006 and took 4 years to transform it into what you currently see pictured for sale.EVERYTHING in this car is new and has less than 400 miles on it.Receipts for all the work performed accompany the car.
NO TRADES
The 2-stage urethane “competition orange” paint is in fantastic condition and there is no rust anywhere.The front fenders, hood, trunk lid, and bumpers are fiberglass purchased from Crites Performance who specializes in reproduction Ford Thunderbolt and lightweight Galaxie parts.
Powering the Ford is a fully blueprinted and balanced bored and stroked 445 c.i. FE Ford engine (motor started as a 390).Behind the 500+ horsepower FE engine is a professionally built Top-Loader 4-speed, with a 9” posi-traction rear differential and ‘T-Bolt’ style lift bars.
The Ford has never had ethanol-based gas run through its lines, always racing fuel.It has also NEVER, EVER, been raced or abused.Only driven to local car shows and other wise trailered to various national events.

I have been an active eBay seller of cars and other items for more than 15 years and maintained a 100% rating during most of that period.Approximately 10 years ago I started an online service assisting owners of Classic, Vintage, and Muscle cars to sell their vehicles without them leaving the garage.These are private individual owners who do not want to deal with the public and all the endless phone calls, “Tire kickers”, and other nonsense that goes on when trying to sell a car. They just want someone to sell it!!
