While he doesn’t specify a time frame, it appears from the owner’s comments that this 1967 Ford Galaxie has been in storage for an extended period. It has been brought out of hiding, and the owner is now looking at moving it on. You will find the Galaxie listed for sale here on Craigslist. The Galaxie is located in Bellows Falls, Vermont, and is being offered for sale with a clean title. The asking price for this Ford is $8,500.
The owner of this Galaxie gives us a good variety of photos that show all of the critical areas of the car, and it looks to be really solid. There is some surface corrosion evident on some of the lower body edges, but none of it looks to be rot through, so this should be easy to fix. The floors and frame look completely solid, and all of the exterior trim appears to be present. There are some marks on a couple of trim pieces, and the bumpers may clean up okay, but it is a bit hard to tell.
The interior of the Galaxie looks to be completely original. There are a few items that the new owner may choose to address, but it could be used as it stands. I noticed a seam separation on the driver’s seat, and there is also a crack in the dash pad. The carpet is quite faded, but this may respond well to some dye, although I would probably consider replacing it at some stage. I also noticed that the steering wheel has some cracks in it as well.
Under the hood of the Galaxie is a 390ci 4V engine backed by an automatic transmission. The rear axle is a 31-spline 9″ unit, which is close to being bullet-proof. The car is also fitted with power steering. What is good news is that the car runs and drives, and the brakes also work. The owner does advise that the car is not ready for the road, as it will need a thorough check following its extended time in storage. That seems like sound advice to me.
The ’67 Galaxie 500 continues to be a car that is seen frequently in the market, and they still represent a reasonably affordable option for people who are considering their first foray into the world of classic cars. This one looks like a solid example, and it may not take a huge amount of work to really make it shine. Good examples that are similarly equipped to this one are regularly achieving prices in excess of $14,000, so this car may represent a pretty decent buy at the asking price.
Great one-year only design. One of the few cars I’ve seen that DOES NOT benefit from the use of baby moon hubcaps. Must source Magnum 500, or Ford factory turbine hubcaps or faux-mag to make this car really “pop.” My family had two…a post sedan and this style with a pony interior. Great family hauler. Lots of lightweight metal trim that is not easily straightened if damaged.
Not sure what hubcaps these are, but they look good on this one
Base dogdish hubcaps—they look great on any car of the era, whether it’s a cheapo six cylinder or a 427 muscle car.
Those look to be later by a year or two, Dean. I used those poverty caps on my 1968 Galaxie Convertible that was rescued from the back of a car lot in 1989. Great car. I think those were used on the police cars and taxis thru 1971.
1965 is my fav that’s a nice car w dogdish hubcaps.
To me these 1967 Fords were a major transitional year. Still had the stacked headlights like the 65 and 66 models and the rear was still very similar in 68. These were awesome years.
I just helped a friend get one of these registered and on the road in South Australia, 67 Galaxie LTD fast back, metallic silver/grey with black vinyl roof, the car is perfect in every detail, the previous owner spent upwards of 37 grand restoring it, my buddy paid 42 AUS. for it, talked the owner down from 49. Full ground up resto with new everything, better than a new car. 390 big block, there’s no substitute for cubic inches!
One of my sisters had one of these in Maroon with maroon interior. It had the 390 / auto and was a really nice highway cruiser. I would love this car if it were closer.
Nice look. The rarer custom 500 two door is really a nice design too.
We had a 67 Custom 500 four-door when I was a kid. Brittany Blue with the full wheel covers. Nice looking car.
Completely solid, rust free 60’s car from the NE? Call me skeptical until I see it. And whoever decides to bid on this should look it over carefully first. Front/back shots show the car has a bit of a lean to the passenger side, that doesn’t look like it corresponds to the contours of the ground.
Exactly. Frames were prone to rust on those as well.
There is no rust on the frame and it is not bent.
I didn’t anywhere in the actual ad that it says completely solid or rust free.
You are skeptical? I own the car and pulled it out of the barn. I am a very experienced car guy. The car is not rusty or bent. It is from Dallas Texas. I knew the guy that drove it back to N.E. I always get a kick out of the know it all types like you. Oh, by the way. I had to bolt on a 14 inch wheel on the front because I did not have a 15 inch available. Since you are an expert , you must have noticed that ?
I had one of these Great car over 200k nothing major ,love this style
Got the ragtop, great cruiser vehicles
Big old’ Fe’s are a must to get down the road though. Well over 4k lbs.
12mpg on a GOOD day, lol.
I’d be tempted to 8 liter it ala Jay Leno.
PI is needed, though the Pict’s look darn good!
Make ’em an offer!
Ad says the car came from Texas, not originally a Northeastern car. I’m not seeing major rust out, but the photos leave much to the imagination about the frame and floors.
At least it sounds like the man is honest, I had a 66 which had been in a friends shed for 16 years and he bought it off a guy who had had it sitting for a long time before that, first drive in the car saw the seal in the bottom of the steering box drop out. I finished up going right through everything mechanical including the diff and the car only had 62,000 original miles on it when I sold it to my nephew.
One of the nicest big car designs ever.
67 big Ford, 2 doors, and a 390 for $8500? Pushes all my buttons! Like the yellow too.
I have the 67 390 powered Caleinte convertible in the same colour, and I love the car. I am still kicking my butt for missing on a 335 hp Fairlane 4 dr Hdtp approximately 10 years ago. It was in beautiful condition but I thought I had all the cars I needed.
1967 was my favourite years for these cars.

Great styling, Ford was really on top of their game back then when it came to full size cars…their most valued customer. This one here could use a set of torque thrusts and some decent tires to get that street cruiser appeal. Why not have some fun with it, right?
Could make a really cool hot rod in my opinion and also in my opinion not to bash the car man I think it would look awesome painted black was some really nice chrome wheels not polished aluminum but real Chrome. Something about that body style screams Paint It Black
