Ford Galaxie 390 V8 1967

Allmän beskrivning : FUN/CLEAN RAGTOP! STRONG 390 V8, AUTO, COLD A/C, POWER TOP, VERY SHARP CRUISER!!

Ford fans, we know that you see a lot of Chevelles out there, but we hope this pretty 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible at least makes up for some of it. A handsome mid-sized ragtop, it offers 390 V8 power, room for six in the stylish interior, and it remains a car that you won't see at every cruise night and car show.
Ford's Galaxie had sporting lines that cleverly hid its XL size, and this bright red ragtop certainly looks racy from any angle. Despite the affordable price, this is a very nice car in which someone has invested heavily, starting with a recent repaint in the original code T Candyapple Red. It was clearly a quality job, because it's holding up remarkably well with only a few signs of use and a fantastic shine that highlights the sweeping fender lines. Having lived all its life in a warm climate, you know the bones underneath are good and the way the doors fit is reassuring in a big ragtop like this. It's not a show car, but you already knew that, and besides, show cars aren't any fun, so you can grab your friends or family and hit the road without worries. Better still, all the chrome and stainless trim is in great shape, showing some signs of age but nothing major, and it lends the big Galaxie a very ornate look.
There's got to be a lot of recent work inside because the black interior is in fantastic condition. The upholstery is a handsome vinyl with simple pleats and ornate inserts, with newer black carpets that are plush enough to seriously dampen noise and heat. We believe the door panels are original and there's a bit of fading on the driver's side where someone's arm has been resting, but it's so nice you wouldn't even consider replacing it. The gauges are in good order and you'll be happy to note that this car sports fully functional factory A/C, so cruising is never uncomfortable in this big ragtop. There's room for six thanks to wide, comfortable bench seats front and rear and nobody will complain about the lack of leg room because this is a big car in every sense of the word. The original AM radio is still in the dash and could stand to be upgraded and there's a recent black power top sealing things up. The trunk is truly massive and includes a full-sized spare tire.
The Z-code 390 cubic inch V8 is the car's original engine and makes loads of torque so the Galaxie feels light on its feet. The engine bay is very nicely detailed, complete with bright Ford Blue on the engine and air cleaner, and the overall condition suggests that it's been expertly maintained over the years. The A/C compressor dominates the view, but underneath you'll find power steering and power brakes and a heavy-duty C6 3-speed automatic transmission, so this ragtop feels luxurious on the road. There are no major upgrades or notable modifications, and it exhales through a dual exhaust system that has a pleasant, soft burble. If the door tag is to be believed, there are 3.89 gears out back that suggest someone wanted a fast ragtop, and with the torquey 390, it is indeed quick off the line. The red paint advertises a bit, as do the flashy Cragar mags wearing recent 225/70/15 blackwall radials.
There's a lot to like in this big Ford ragtop and the affordable price makes it an awesome entry-level hobby car with a lot of performance and style. Call today!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
