If the name Galaxie sounds space-related, that's because it is. The Fifties and the Sixties were the height of the space race, and nearly every consumer good in the United States incorporated some element of the cosmos in its branding. Ford chose the name Galaxie for its full-size car between 1959 and 1974. The name is fitting, particularly when considering this third-generation 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible in all its 213 inches length. Sporting just 15,000 miles after a complete frame-off restoration that includes a new motor, it's a great classic that will motor on for decades.
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible looks stunning in all its teal glory after the full frame-off restoration that it underwent. It also sports a new windshield and new tires on retro-modern wheels. You'll notice that the lights and chrome work look excellent, as does the white convertible top. Ditto the Ford and Galaxie badging, which showcase the pedigree of the car. There's plenty more work to recognize, albeit under the skin. For now, let's get inside and appreciate the tan interior that the seller reports to be from a 1965 Galaxie. We have been informed that the dash has been rewrapped, plus an electronic trunk release has been installed. The seats look excellent with their lap belts, as does the center console with its wood trim. You'll also note some extra gauges have been installed to better monitor the car's vitals. Playing more games of 'I Spy' reveals an aftermarket JVC head unit with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, plus aftermarket speakers for an up-to-date infotainment experience.
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible packs a new 350ci (5.7L) crate engine with an automatic transmission that's reportedly been rebuilt. The seller tells us that there's a Posi rear, a new fuel tank, updated suspension, new headers, cams, a stainless steel exhaust, a chrome alternator, chrome power steering unit, electric fans, a new radiator and electronic ignition. You'll also be glad to know that the brakes have been converted to a disk set-up for better braking power. There's even a battery cut-off in case of emergency.

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.
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 Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.

Made between 1968 and 1982, the third generation or C3 Corvette has got to be the longest-running era in Chevy’s Corvette. Over 500,000 units were sold during this time, making it one of the best ways to enter classic Corvette ownership. This fine specimen from 1974 Chevrolet Corvette is a worthy candidate if you’re interested. Hailing from Aurora, Colorado, it’s got just 3,000 miles on its rebuilt 350ci engine and automatic gearbox.

You definitely won’t regret getting your hands on this car!
