My sporty "garage find" 65 Galaxie 500XL conv

[tom406]

A very nice lady allowed me to buy her late husband's '65 Galaxie that he bought in '67 and was his "baby" until he died in '02. It has less than 70k miles on it, and 12k of those where on it in '67. She's had it under a car cover in the garage ever since. You don't see many of these with a 4 speed-they came standard with 289/auto. So what is interesting is that while there was an upcharge to the 300hp 390cid "Thunderbird" V8, there was no charge for the 4 speed (see window sticker). Nicely optioned, though I wish it had power brakes. Looking forward to getting this one running and driving again
