In production from 1962 to 1964, the Galaxie 500 XL was the first large performance car in Ford's range, capitalising on their successes in NASCAR events. The face-lifted 1964 example offered here has the added appeal of period race history having competed at the 1964 Motor Trend 500 at Riverside - a race won by no less than Dan Gurney driving another Galaxie.
