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.
