Wimbledon White with a black convertible top and matching black vinyl interior, this 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible looks absolutely beautiful from any angle. Top up, top down, it doesn’t matter, what a gorgeous car. A bit more “styled” than the 1965 and ’66 Galaxies, this example is located in Watertown, Connecticut, and the seller is asking $21,500. They have it listed here as a Barn Finds Classified!
The styling was “Jet-Aged” a bit, as far as looking a little more speeding-while-standing-still than the earlier third-generation Galaxies, which were a bit more squared off at the ends. I like the early square ’65s, but this ’67 would do just nicely for me. As always, this seller hits a home run on photos; there are a lot of them from almost every angle, inside and out.
The third-generation Galaxie was made from 1964 for the 1965 model year until the end of 1968. I’m a sucker for vertically stacked headlights, and these cars had it down to a science. Showing an original price sheet from the dealer, this car drove out the door at just under $3,600 in 1967. Said to have been purchased new at Savelle Ford in Thomaston, Connecticut, the seller refers to this color as Colonial White, but I believe it’s Wimbledon White.
As with the exterior, the interior looks almost like new, both front and rear. This car has around 77,000 miles, and that’s low mileage for a vehicle made in the 2020s, let alone one made in the 1960s. For just under $200, the original owner added a Select-Shift Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission with a column selector. This was the era of the famous Galaxie 7-Liter, with a number of engine and transmission options available. This car is set up for nice, easy cruises with the top up or down.
The clean engine compartment houses a Ford 289-cu.in. OHV V8, which would have been factory-rated at 200 horsepower and 282 lb-ft of torque when new. Backed by the three-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels, the seller says it has a 225-hp engine, but the 2-barrel version had 200 hp. The 4-barrel version had 225 horsepower. In any case, this car looks amazing for being almost six decades old.

What a nice-looking Galaxie convertible. I agree SG, the slight styling changes give the ’67 a different (and attractive) look. The white/black scheme is very classy. Fun summer cruising awaits.
A neighbor had one in the late 1970s when I was a little kid, it was a red coupe with a black vinyl top and a black interior. They used to drive us back and forth to school in it. It was nice back then, and this white convertible is gorgeous! I hope it finds a good home.
Darn nice car. Had the same one and it did everything well. sold mine for $3500 some years ago. Their price seems aggressive but the new owner will be getting a good one!
nice convert. those wheel covers really look good. needs a 390 though. i would lose the dice as well.
A nice ride and I would say worth the money, the only things that let it down is the rood needs to be replaced, I replaced mine with the Cloth type which looks nicer in my book but harder to look after which is really no drama just keep it covered with a sheet when parked in the garage and the 289 in that, mine has a 390 but in reality the 289 would handle the job just fine. That is one of the very few I have seen where the chrome strip on the drivers door actually lines up as it should. Mine is not quite as nice as this example but a great car to drive.
In 1976 my in laws gave us their 1967 4 door Galaxie. It was an automatic with the 6 cylinder engine. Never ridden in a car so slow and ponderous. I think the looks were a step down from the 1964-1966 Galaxie.
Driving the ’67 was a fun car to drive. The one thing I hated about it was the white spots in the sports roof and it was pretty much impossible to back it up when the sun was shining, otherwise these were great cars. Gone was the boxy feeling of the previous two years.
Very nice
Does anyone here wear shorts in the summertime? Have you ever owned a convertible with a black interior and tried to set on the seats after it was out in the sun for a little while? I don’t recommend it. This is a very nice car but be careful what you wear when you use it.
LOL !! When I photographed the car I had shorts on. I was VERY careful to make sure none of my skin touched the seat for fear of it becoming part of the upholstery .
That is the reason I have beach towels on the seats :). Here is Queensland it is basically summer all year round so care does need to be taken when leaving the car with the roof down, It only burns for a short time hahaha.
In HS I had a ’66 GTO. I worked weekends at a local grocery chain… blacktop parking lot. It had a Hurst T-shifter. All aluminum. It took only once of blistering my palm to always leave a towel on the handle.
YIKES!
Evening everyone, As some of you may have guessed, I’m representing this car for the owner. A true survivor in great condition.
Maybe not so unbelievable but we have a deposit already on it and the potential buyer is from Luxembourg (Europe) and has plans to come over to the US next year and drive this car from PA where it will stay initially, up to Chicago to pick up route 66 and then follow RT 66 all the way to CA. Plans on taking several months to do that . He and his wife, taking their time.
Can I ride along? I have always wanted to ‘do’ Route 66.
