Vehicle Description
1965 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. 390 Convertible 300 Horsepower 427 Torque 3 On the Tree 6.4 Litre V8 Original “Born With”” Engine Ford websites put total production at 9,849 Vehicles . Only 10% were 3 On the Tree,Manual transmissions. Doing the math tells us only 984 of these engines were ever produced...... How many of these survived? This is a RARE CAR. When first purchased this car I was somewhat disappointed with it’s performance.After consulting with an expert mechanic who restored classic cars,I found out why. The engine needed to be replaced or completely overhauled.I was faced with a dilemma. A crate engine would be “Brand New” and cost less than a complete overhaul.But where are you going to find a 390-3 On the Tree,I had to restore it to it’s glory days. 3 months later and 5 grand spent,I was very happy I saved it. Being I was in the spending mood I decided to re-do all the seats,and this was the only liberty I took to change from being completely original.The seats are a custom look,Red&White with Galaxie 500 embroidered on the seats,both front and rear.I think it looks great! Brand new convertible white rag top and new white boot cover.New red carpet thru-out. Comes with custom car cover too. This car is meant to be driven everyday. On scale of 1 to10 this car is not a 10,it is not a 9.It is in my opinion an 8. The paint is good,but it can be better The chrome is good,but it can be better. I have looked at several classic car websites and cannot find another original 390 3 On the Tree Convertible...
