The seller offers for sale this Ford Galaxie 500 XL from 1967, equipped with a 6.5-litre V8 petrol engine. Imported from the United States in 2015 and purchased by the current owner in 2016, the car underwent a restoration between 2017 and 2018. The work included a complete repaint in the original colour, new leather upholstery, new carpets, and a new convertible top. The frame was welded, sealed, and the chrome trim restored where possible. The car now presents in fine condition. It starts immediately, drives well, and has been stored in a heated garage, regularly maintained and kept in running order.
The convertible roof was replaced during the restoration and remains in good condition. It fits tightly and operates smoothly, enhancing the car’s elegant cruiser character.
The Ford Galaxie 500 XL embodies the grand American convertible spirit of the late 1960s—an era defined by bold styling and powerful V8 engines. Positioned above the standard Galaxie models, the 500 XL offered luxury finishes and commanding road presence. Its combination of comfort, chrome detailing, and effortless performance made it a symbol of classic American motoring. Today, restored examples like this one are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate genuine craftsmanship and timeless design.
