Description of 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

1965 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible

I bought this car and have gone through all the mechanicals over the last 6 months

It is at the stage where you could restore the body, ut a top on it and itwould becomplete restoration.

The lettering is vinyl and we can remove it if the buyer so desires.

We have been driving it around town and using it as an advertising piece for our Auto Parts and Performance store in New Baltimore Michigan

It's a huge Hit especially with the Lettering, lown out convertible Top and Rat Rod/Race Car Look

People ask us all the time if we are going to paint it and the answer is it's done .....why would we paint it?

To each his own

The other question we get a lot is "where do you run that car at" this one cracks me up

I did look into a top and boot and what I found is around 1000 bucks installed

I also have a couple of repair quarter panels and dog legs that go with the car

This is pick up only or you can arrange shipping

I ran the vin and the car appears to have all of the original componentsaccording to what I found
