The blue vinyl interior suggests this Galaxie has always been treated well and was more than mere transportation to the previous owner. The two-tone blue vinyl seats do show some signs of use, but nothing that wouldn't be expected from a car this age. Chrome and stainless trim is scattered throughout, from the door panels to the rear seat, giving some upscale refinement to the interior. With an aftermarket CD player installed it's a pleasant cabin to spend time cruising on a warm Saturday night, or to go get ice cream in. The factory instrument panel covers the basics of speed and fuel level, and the three spoke steering wheel completes the look. The trunk is pretty basic and clean with a spare resting inside, just in case.

Under the hood sits a 289 V8 ready to power the luxury convertible. Believed to be the original powerplant of this Galaxie, the engine bay is shows some patina. However, the small touches like the red FoMoCo fluid bag, and the exterior matching air filter and valve covers really set it off. It also features a yellowtop optima battery that provides reliable startups of this classic drop top. Bolted to the block is an automatic transmission that sends power to the ground thanks to 14" rims that have been wrapped in Rainforce MX4 rubber.
