Looking for a true driver-quality survivor and some style to go with it? This 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 XL is the complete package, combining a reliable drivetrain with a great ride quality. Propelled by a big 352 C.I. "Thunderbird Special" V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '65 Ford makes for one excellent cruiser. Putting torque to the pavement is a reliable 3-speed automatic transmission, allowing for shifting that's nice and smooth. The exterior "Wimbledon White" paint appears rough in places but is in overall good shape, with chipping here and there and some surface oxidization showing. There is also surface rust in places on the frame and in the trunk, but not to the point where it affects the drivability of the car. Opening the doors reveals an all-original vinyl interior, presented in eye-catching two-tone green with comfy bucket seats and a full center console. This '65 Ford is also fitted with a variety of options, including power steering, power brakes, factory gauges & clock, a heater + defroster, vent windows, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a slick set of 15" Magnum 500 wheels over Cooper Cobra RWL tires for a cool period-correct look! Despite its rougher appearance, this '65 Galaxie 500 runs and drives really well. Whether you're looking for a classic you can simply jump in and enjoy or you're looking for your next full restoration project, this '65 Galaxie 500 is a great option either way.
