Huge thank you to my patient and understanding wife. - Zábava
This was my first car in 1983 I could fit a keg of beer in the back and go to the dunes and party with high school friends great memories
This 4 door style always reminded me of a perfect sized limousine.
The big 1965 Ford is generally underappreciated for its styling and design which is very classic. This car's paint is Silver Smoke Gray.
Yes. They still look good today floating down the road.
I sure miss my 1965 Ford Galaxy 500 LTD 4 door with A/C and vinyl top. Thank you, Gramma Rose, for giving it to me. Sorry that I couldn't keep it longer than I did.
Buy another one
Thanks for showing. It's been a long time since I've seen one of these!
She’s clean 👍🇺🇸
My father in law has one in the garage. Been parked for years. Beautiful car
That’s a really lovely car! She needs to be driven! Good job!
good body,great bright work.😊
For a barn find it’s pretty clean and well kept. Especially the patina which makes the car stand out even more. I always had a soft spot for one of these or the LTD. While people ride the Chevy bandwagon, give me this or a Cadillac coupe deville to cruise and I’m happy. Cheers ✌🏽
Always like the look of a Galaxy 500 when I was a kid. I am amazed the car still had the old belted tires on it. First thing to do is get rid of those and put on modern radial tires. Those old ones are probably dried out and dangerous!
Put a warmed over 390 to 400 hp and 4:11 gears, drag radials like my old Galaxie XL was. Awesome car to drive and run at the trsck
I love how it’s a no-post! My Galaxie is also a no post, and I kinda wanna turn it into a convertible
I loved the transmission too.
Sarcasm? That has always been and still is, Ford's Achille's heal. Automatic transmissions.
Thats clean looking 4 door mine 2 door sweet ride id be proud.
The position you have the gearshift in makes the transmission start out on 2nd gear. Put it in the one with "the dot" to make it start out in 1st gear for normal driving. The manual will tell you that the one you have it in is for use on slippery roads etc for added traction with less wheel spin. Hope this helps.
I grew up with a ‘65 Galaxy 500 4 door, metallic green; and a ‘64 Falcon 2 door baby blue with the 260ci. Wish pops never sold them.
In 1974, I came across a 1965 Ford LTD 2 door from the original owner. The owner's wife wanted her husband to buy a new car. But, the husband insisted that the 65 LTD was still in wonderful condition, and had low mileage. Not enough for him to consider looking for a new car. Welp, one morning the owner's wife had enough. She took a full freshly brewed pot of morning breakfast coffee off the stove, walked out the front door of their home - and headed for the 65 Ford parked at the curb in front of their home. The owner's wife opened the fuel door, and at first emptied the coffee grinds down the fuel pipe. She then proceeded to make sure the coffee grounds were going into the fuel tank by pouring the freshly brewed coffee down the fuel pipe. The owner came over my house after work, and asked me if I would be interested in buying his car?
I was known throughout the neighborhood to buying car's that needed mechanical and body work, and reselling them to mostly parents of 16 year old's who just got their drivers license. With tow chains, I got the 65 LTD to my home and dropped the gas tank to clean out the coffee and the coffee grinds. Thank God the owner never started his LTD. but got a friend to take him to work. After I cleaned out the fuel tank, I installed a locking fuel cap on the car. My "new" 65 Ford had a black interior and a deep burgundy exterior.
A 2 door automatic transmission, factory air, 390 engine. It was a beauty of a car.
I drove it for another 3 year's, and sold it to a 16 year old guy who just got his drivers license. His parents signed the title, but the young man saved most of his paper boy money to buy his own car. After watching this video, I wish that I still owned my fully caffinated "coffee car". It drove like a land yacht. Soo much luxury and road comfort.
Muito lindo, tenho um aqui no Brasil , ano 78
If I had a choice between a 2 door or a 4 door car I'd take the 4 door every time!
depends on the car.
so lucky😊
@@efandmk3382 A 4 door allows the rear seat passengers to be able to exit the vehicle without disturbing the front seat passengers. That I'll take any time.
Very nice car. Please restore it, don't rat rod it.
I'd modify the motor to 400 hp, 3000 stall, 4:11 gears, drag radials, Cragars like my 66 Galaxie XL was. Fun car to drive and race.
did this car have the early 60s galaxie round mirror?
How much? Where is the car now? That storage that owner must be very wealthy
Go back to the wheel covers.
I have a red two door 65 galaxie 500 convertible with a white top and red interior.. love it but might be time to part with it
Give it to me, I lost my 66 Galaxie XL due to financial issues in 2014
If you can afford to go ahead and paint it original color
I want to know how much and we're is that shop at that had all those other cars
Barn find ? More like some ones collection
Yep, the car was both, that’s why I included some barn pics.. The man I bought it from had a collection of over 120 American vehicles from the early teens through the ‘70’s that were stored untouched in multiple industrial buildings for three decades.
Do you have it for sale I would like to buy it?
Sold it a couple years ago, thanks!
Tiny ass engine for the huge brick lol!!!
I just bought one stored in a garage 16 years! Could you give me an idea of what it will be worth if I get it to the condition of this one? It's unmolested and basically needs a tune up, fluids etc. My mechanic said it has no value, but I think he's an old hateful fool to be honest. And yes, I'm looking for a new mechanic lol.

I sold this one for just under $5k, if I had more indoor storage I wouldn’t have sold it. It cleaned up really nice. Yours looks to be in very similar condition! Good luck with it!👍🏻
@@TheDeeSmoker Really appreciate your reply! So hard to get prices from folks for some reason. I plan on keeping it. Thanks!
My father had one and if I could ever get one for him oh my God and his final stage of life he would be elated it would be biblical for him
