The Ford Galaxie is a full-size car that Ford built between 1958 and 1974. The name was inspired by America’s then obsession with conquering space, and the resultant space race. Cars gained galactic names and even more out-of-this-world styling cues. The Galaxie would also be made and sold in Australia and Brazil, where it gained a similarly popular reputation. That makes a car like this 1964 Ford Galaxie Convertible a great way to dip your toes into the classic car waters. That’s because this car has received a restoration, with several components rebuilt or replaced in 2021.
This 1964 Ford Galaxie Convertible wears a black suit because it doesn’t need a bright or lustrous color to do the talking for it. Nope, its straight-arrow shape, paired with the matching black convertible top make for one gorgeous car that will look right at home in a city, or on a country road. Adding to the car’s allure are a set of five-spoke aftermarket alloy wheels which gel quite well with its Sixties aesthetic. The interior of this 1964 Ford Galaxie Convertible is a spacious affair, given that this was Ford’s full-size offering of the time. There’s air conditioning to keep everyone cool when the convertible top is up and the sun is out. There’s also an aftermarket audio system with Bluetooth connectivity, so that you can listen to tunes of your choice. Save for these, the majority of the interior remains period correct, from the low-back bench seats, to the chrome-embellished dashboard.
Sporting a rebuilt 352ci V8 under the hood, this 1964 Ford Galaxie Convertible can give you all the classic V8 rumble and roar that you desire. Thank the new exhaust system for the car’s strong and clear voice, and enjoy its classic rear-wheel drive layout, while the original automatic transmission does power transfer duties. The current owner says that most components under the hood have been recently rebuilt or replaced. The car also has new suspension, a new sway bar, and disc brakes on all four corners for sure-footed stopping power. Plus, thanks to the power steering on board, you can drive this beautiful classic in an easy manner.

The late ‘50s were filled with excitement surrounding the Space Race, and automakers took their marketing brains to the next level. The Ford Galaxie was born as a concept called "la Galaxie" in 1958. Sure enough, its name was inspired by the hot topic of the time and it rivalled models such as the Dodge Polara, which also had the same idea to market around the same theme. This full-size car was first introduced with the Fairlane 500 as the top trim level. By 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge replacing the Fairlane entirely. Fast forward to 1964, the Ford Galaxie was in its second generation and the final year of its new body style. What we are offering here is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL Convertible, bringing you back to an era of 60’s open top motoring.
Back in the 60s, a host of machines graced the floors of motor shows and stunned the world with their designs and features. The 60s was also the golden year of muscle cars; legendary marques like the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro saw the light of day. The Ford Galaxie stood out among the multiple big nameplates; its intriguing design and performance made it a popular choice with multiple segments of the car buyer market, but there's no denying that the Ford Galaxie was best when in Muscle form. Present today is this 1969 Ford Galaxie 500; this muscular hunk from the 60s has a reported 82,000 miles as reported by the current owner. This is muscle car royalty and can be yours to grace your driveway and savor a quick weekend drive.
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
You might be thinking “Boy, I’ve sure been seeing a lot of first-gen Ford Mustangs for sale lately”. Well, that’s due to no fault of the car; rather the fact that Ford sold them by the bucketload. Introduced in September 1964, 121,000 units were sold in the last three months of that year, with 22,000 orders taken on the first day itself! The next year, 1965, would see sales balloon to over 559,000 for that year alone. So, this 1965 Ford Mustang is one of over 559,000 that were made. This is great, because it means that getting your hands on a classic first-generation Mustang is relatively easy. After all, wouldn’t you think that it’s one of the best starter classics? This particular car has received a host of mechanical refreshments and upgrades, making it an absolute beauty to drive.
The fifth-generation Ford Mustang reinvented itself as a design icon, blending retro cues with a decidedly modern drivetrain. While the 2010 Mustang was available in many potent flavors, one of the most sought after was undeniably the 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 Super Snake. When it was launched, it was the most powerful production Mustang ever made, with a reported 500 hp on tap. The GT500 Mustang was breathed upon by the engineers at Shelby, a company that has had a long association with fast Fords. It featured a supercharged V8 engine and many other performance upgrades. Our featured example takes this one step further with many upgrades, including improved suspension and brakes. Read on to find more!
If German automotive brands are famous for one thing, it is their build quality. You can opt for one of their models from the ‘70s and they will likely still run as if they were built a couple of years back. To be quite frank, they don’t make them like that anymore. For example, the 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL is built like a tank, and we aren’t the only ones who think so. With proper maintenance, these beautiful cruisers will probably run forever. What we are featuring here is an all-original 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL Convertible showing 119,000 miles on its clock. It is currently in South Carolina and it's a great opportunity to experience what the three-pointed Star had to offer back in the '70s.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
