Best looking full size Ford ever built. My Mom bought a 2 year old 2dr 500XL fastback, black with red interior and beautiful white headliner. It was a 352 4bbl 3 spd auto. and it never failed to wow even Chevy lovers. It had enough interior lighting to look at home in Las Vegas! Opera lights on the rear pillars, dome light, lights under both driver and passenger footwells and those eye catching courtesy/warning lights on the lower door panels. My high school girlfriend's Mother drove a big, decked out white Buick and when I gave her a lift to a neighbor's house she said "What a beautiful car, what is it?" When I told her it was a Ford Galaxie 500 XL she replied "Wow, I didn't know Ford made a car this nice." To top it off, this woman was very tough to impress. That comment made my day!
The Ford XL interior runs rings around Chevy Impala SS interior as per your discription of the footwell, door courtesy lighting, and lower door carpeting.
I love everything about it. Wouldn't mind seeing the exhaust extensions tucked away at the tail end of the car but other than that it's perfect. Nicely restored.
Right about the exhaust, which is easily remedied. They just scream AFTERMARKET. The factory, if I recall right, had low restriction mufflers just before the exhaust tips. I like the look of standard factory exhaust tips just beneath the rear bumper. The tips are still visible, but much more subtle. Other than that mild cosmetic, the car is absolutely stunning.
A friend of mines father had a black one when I was in 5th grade in the late 60s. Just like this with 4 on the floor convertible. He even had mag wheels and sitting low in the rear like this.
Don't like the gauge cluster at all, but besides that, FUCKING AWESOME!! That 427 rumble.....baby!! I give this beaut a 9/10 (one point for the gauge cluster, personal opinion) Great job on this '64! My dream car!!!!!!

The trunk has more space than an average Manhattan apartment.

Needs AC ! And yes I agree extensions are way too long and need a larger size pipe.
my cousin bought one in 64 stored it in a heated garage its been there ever since
great...

my Mom had one , we had the 300hp 390 engine !!!
Agreed on gauges. Prefer original. Pretty nice job on new one though. Maintained the layout (sort of).
why build a car like that with an automatic transmission?
That's what I'm looking for , is it an R code. ?
It's a 390.
Yes it is!!!
