"Ford Galaxie with a consistent patina on the outside and a neat, inviting interior."

Description

A relatively uncommon 1960s American car imported from California. In 1960, the Galaxie was Ford’s full-size model, and the two-door sedan version was called the Club Sedan. It was registered in Sweden in 2014, the same year the current owner acquired it. The patinated exterior is complemented by a neat and tidy interior. Engine and drivetrain run well, but the steering is loose and would benefit from an overhaul. A set of keys is included. Chrome fender skirts to cover the rear wheel arches come with the purchase.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine runs well and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. At startup, the gear selector may need a gentle push upward for the car to start. Under the hood is a 1972 Chevrolet 350 cu V8, and the front drum brakes have been replaced with disc brakes, which is documented in the registration papers. The steering would benefit from an overhaul as it feels loose and imprecise. An electric cooling fan operated by a toggle switch is installed, though it was not tested during the test drive. Modern auxiliary gauges are mounted near the dashboard but are not functional. The original fuel gauge does not work either. A period-correct radio and a more modern stereo are included, but neither is working. The ignition lock has been replaced with a more modern unit. The windshield wipers occasionally struggle to return to their resting position.

  • Interior condition:

    Clean and tidy interior that gives an inviting impression. Lap belts are fitted for four seats. The dome light cover is broken, and the driver’s seat is somewhat loose.

  • Exterior condition:

    Matte paint with several but smaller rust spots in the form of bubbles and small holes. The body moldings have some minor dents. Popular 15-inch American Racing-style wheels are fitted on the car.

  • General condition:

    Perhaps a somewhat underrated Ford model in nice condition, adorned with its matte paint, but which could become even more enjoyable after a mechanical checkup, particularly of the steering.

Facts about the model

The 1960 model year offered an entirely new body design, despite the Ford Galaxie having been introduced only the year before as the new full-size flagship model. What carried over from the previous year were the engines and drivetrain. The name Galaxie was, of course, a nod to the great public interest in space and the ongoing space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. In 1960, five different body styles were available, and the two-door Club Sedan was produced in the lowest numbers — 31,866 out of a total of 289,268 Galaxie and Galaxie Special units, according to the Standard Catalog of Ford 1903–1990. By the following model year, the body shape of Ford’s full-size cars had already changed again, making the 1960 model easily recognizable.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
