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 F-Series is widely regarded as one of the most important pickup truck series in the United States. Introduced in 1948, the series is now in its fourteenth generation and has ventured into the arena of electric mobility as well. With fourteen generations and over 40 million units sold as of 2022, you can easily find excellent examples from nearly every generation. This ninth-generation 1997 Ford F-350 XLT is one such vehicle. It comes from the last year of ninth-generation production, has traveled 86,671 miles so far, and lives in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Furthermore, we’re informed that the truck has undergone a recent full mechanical servicing, and invoices are available upon request.
There comes a time when the automotive world stands still as manufacturers churn out a car that takes the world by storm and changes the automotive landscape forever. Turn back the clock to the ’50s and Ford did just that with the release of the legendary Ford Thunderbird. From its iconic design to its performance, the Ford Thunderbird was a looker and a performance machine that helped the ’50s American automotive marketplace turn it up a notch. Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,293 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
The perfect blend of a unique ownership experience and turning heads as you drive by sums up a muscle car ownership experience. Present today is one of the muscle car greats and takes shape with this 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. With a reported 59,285 miles on the clock, this muscular machine is a great way to clock in those memorable drives and up your driveway game.
Oldsmobile introduced the Toronado in 1965 as their personal luxury car contender. What made the Toronado most distinctive was not its styling or land yacht proportions, but the fact that it was front-wheel drive! Yes, this was probably one of a handful of V8 front-wheel drive cars around at the time. What a curious decision by General Motors, and you can discover their curio right here with this 20,197-mile 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham that we’ve got for sale. Currently relaxing in Grand Prairie, Texas, this all-original restored car awaits a new owner, which might very well be you, dear reader!
Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
