Description
Rare, vintage, and still running. This 67 Galaxie convertible is mostly original (not restored), and while it shows its age, it’s overall clean and solid. 79.6k original miles.
I believe the engine is a 390 (although stamped 352 like all FE blocks of the era) and the carb was professionally rebuilt in summer 2017. It starts and drives pretty well, although it’s a bit cold blooded and slow to start on cold mornings.
Upholstery and carpet are in good condition (no rips, stains, odors, cigarette smoke, etc.). The exterior has a few scratches and dimples in the paint and bumpers, but no major rust or dents. The canopy is solid and has no rips, but could use a steam cleaning. The rear vinyl cover (for use when the top is down) has some age-related cracking. It has limited accessories, but they work (AM radio and power top). The dash is in great shape, while the steering wheel and plastic instrument console have a few age-relate scuffs and scratches. The lock mechanism for driver-side door needs to be looked at to see if it is broken (or maybe it is keyed differently than the passenger side and I just don’t have a key for it).
A little history: I inherited the car from my dad who passed away in 2017. It was his daily driver during summer months (for 30+ years). He was the second owner, and he was an engineer who grew up in the era of cars like this and knew how to keep it running. I don’t drive the car, and didn’t grow up working on cars of this vintage, so other than the occasional drive around town, it mostly just sits. Because it sits around, I strongly recommend the following:
· Pick it up with a car carrier – for me the longer it sits, the more sluggish it becomes until I start driving it around for a few days.
· Feel free to reach out with questions, I am happy to answer anything that I can, or to send photos of anything you want a closer look at.
· Know that this is a vintage 50-year old vehicle – not a restored hot rod! A lot of the original interior parts show their age and are a bit fragile. The car needs a light touch and somebody with brains and skill to keep it in good working order.
All service records going back to the 1986 go with the car.
