After 60 years of service of this 64 Galaxie 500 , she still has a lot if class and at this price you can not go wrong. But on her it is easy to do to restore her. So give her some TLC and you will have a nice car for life. For she is very nice and I love it.
Honestly, this is exactly the type of car I'm looking for. Power is nothing special, has issues, but sounds good and those lines look great. Will eventually get me something like this before retirement.
64 Galaxie. I never saw one in real life, and I always thought they were just perfect for the era. Thank you for the tour and the incredible inspection. You're the best at it. You're not a talk show, but you give the best insight to any car you showcase for sale. I am not just told facts about it, but I feel like I'm right there with you getting a good look at the interior while you drive. You hear the exhaust (AND see the exhaust) which helps me get an idea of what's going on under the hood.
A friend had his Mom's '64 powder blue exterior (light blue). The interior was black throughout. I got a ride,it was maxed out. She kept in a garage when she was at work. He went to get it each day after school & picked her up. This was 1966. The '64 won some races.
Nice to see well maintain 64 Galaxie 500 for under $15k not fan of rhino liner vinyl top but to each their own & nothing but simple window seal replacement can fix passenger side vent.
My father had a 1964 Galaxie 500XL that he inherited from his grandfather when he passed away in 1989. He was the stenciler for the See's Candy portraits and bought the car new from his earnings. It had the wire hubcaps with the three-spoke spinner in the middle. Had a rose-beige paint job and a 390 four-barrel under the hood. Also had black leather interior, a tilt steering wheel, and a black vinyl top, with auto on the tree (3-speed?). Two-door. No A/C though, which was always fun in the California summers.....and God knows how many times I smacked my head on that metal speaker in the center of the back seat lmao. He sold it before we moved in the summer of 1995 after some asshole pushed it down the street one night while we all slept and stripped it apart. I never saw it again. Now all we have left is a brief glimpse of it during a Softball game on VHS, and one color photo of it parked outside of his work. Lots of good memories from it, but Lord I wish we still had it.
Hey Nick, if that Galaxy has a cruis-o-matic trans, the first position after neutral is 2nd and 3rd. If there is a green dot in the 2nd position after neutral that is 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Just offering information.
Yeah, it's got some filler, along with some DIY pop-riveted front floorpans....but I think this one is worth the repairs. The body isn't completely shot, interior looks good, and someone did a nice job on the trunk repairs. I like it
If this still has the stock trans, FMX, you went from neutral, one position down to where it starts in 2nd and then goes to 3rd. If you pull the lever down 2 positions, where there is a green dot on the column indicator, that position starts in 1st and will give you all 3 gears. Cruise O Matic. This thing needs an AOD put in it.
Nick, that's a beautiful Galaxie.. all those issues are minor details and easy to fix. Also, there are a bunch of companies selling repop sheet metal for these, if you would ever need it. That price? Under 15k? Outstanding!!! I like it! I bet this one sells really quick.
The bench seat interior in my white with white vinyl top 64 Galaxie fastback is done like this. Well, the seats are, the rest is black with a white headliner. Wow, that thing is priced cheap!
The first thing I would do is mount the cd plaer in the glove box and order me a "vintage" working radio to put in the radio house. Great car. Would definitely buy it if i could.
@@Tartan1206Hence the price. My all original 1976 Monte Carlo while not as collectible as a 1964 Galaxies is completely original. Well the master brake cylinder was changed but I saved the original core in case it ever needs to be rebuilt.
A buddy of mine had one of these with a killer lowrider set up on it the thing would hit the back bumper 😂 it may need a lil love but all in all not really too bad a shape 👍🏻HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK🎉🥳
@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Thank you for the channel. I always look forward to Mondays. Never did that in my life, until I started watching your channel friend.
these cars always suck the gas so they tend to have a little lower mileage. That's my personal experience. Comparing it to the same year Impala for example. I look like a nice car for the money I know they've dropped in price here recently
@@dogsense3773 differential I had back then. With high gear ratio I got 22 mph. He's always making adjustments and tweaking that truck. But are more than glad to trade a couple miles per gallon and have little 400 horses. 283 I had in a 67 Bel Air which consistently between 23 and 25 mi to a gallon. I who's doing by 289 Mercury comet back in the day and did not do it. Most Fords I had came with the 390 in them and I really didn't care much for them. I wouldn't mind having a good 289 with a c4 behind it. I have a little project. 👍
That car is NO Barrett Jackson quality car and is only worth about $7000 to $9000. Everybody prices their old cars based off of that auction house. Most high dollar cars sold at Barrett Jackson are frame off restorations. Not saying this car isn’t OK , it’s just overpriced for what it is. Somebody took the time to scab in some floor pans , you can see them with the under car shots, but didn’t bother to fix the water leaks. It looks like amateur hour at the body shop.
@@Tartan1206 I know classic cars are not being in huge dollars around the country, Barrett Jackson cars are show quality majority of the time, this car is a rebuild, to bring this car up to a nice looking everyday driver, you will spend $40K.
I would not buy a car that does not have seatbelts that has a water issue the horn doesn't work no you are asking way too much for that car there's a lot of things that need to be fixed on it I had two 64 Ford Galaxie XL 500 and both of them had seatbelts in it it is against the law to drive without them
MM mostly sells project cars, even their nicer cars have problems. For anyone who has never bought a car online - virtually always the video dithering makes the cars look better than they do in real life. The days of dealers actually fixing used cars is almost entirely gone - most dealers just do a mop and glow. Basically they do just enough so the vehicle can be driven onto the transport truck. God bless Nick, he calls them like he sees them, warts and all. Much better than the typical seller lying about the car being perfect. About the only thing he does wrong is to soft pedal the mileage - anyone with a brain knows that old cars only have a five digit odometer and 60 years later the car has likely flipped the odometer several times.
@Thomas63r2 most of them probably flipped once. Cars didn't last for high mileages like they do today and generally people don't drive classics and put on tons of miles. You go to some cruise nights, out to dinner a few times a year and it gets parked for the winter months.
@richard. Pre 68 cars are federally exempt from seat belt laws. In 1964 they were optional. Only a commie state like California would ticket you driving a 64 galaxie for no seat belt.
It just isn’t cost effective to fix every little quirk-that’s why they prices the way they are at Maple Motors; otherwise, if perfect, they’d command Mecum or Barrett-Jackson prices…and they’re not always perfect either. I’ve been to their lot a number of times-Nick and the rest of the folks at MM are good, honest folks.

It's good he talks to you now instead of running over your camera lol
I like the fact that the Lakes pipes look like they are functional 😊
Our old folks get pretty lonely, it would be nice if you could include them in your vids, if anyone would know about classic cars its them.
Really nice looking car. That water is an issue.
A 64 Impala, a 64 Falcon. a 64 Olds, Man I need another 64
Most of these cars don't sit outside so people might not no they leak unless they leak when you wash them but you can tell they smell musty
Another badass car! I want almost every car you test drive! I can’t wait to own a classic! Thanks for the videos!👍👍
Pretty good car for the $$$ 👍👍
Not #'s matching.
@@jeffrobodine8579who cares. Has your daily driver had parts changed? Probably. Are the parts all original manufacturer date stamped ... nope

Nick you are a class act. Thanks for the great car videos and for cleaning up other people’s mess!
I appreciate that!
Outstanding , it's a pain but someone's got to pick up after the trash 🗑️ the trash that does that sort of thing ! Maple motors to the rescue ❤
The odometer could also have rollover 2,3 or more times.
Could have ,but I don’t think so ?
How much is this 64 ford to ship it to Seattle wa
My moms car was a390 but they made a427 that is the collector ❤😂
MAN I’M GLAD WE AIN’T MAKING A CASH N’ STASH TO THE BANK WITH THAT DROP BOX FOR A GLOVEBOX !!!! NICE 64 , READY FOR THE JUNIOR JOHNSON WORK OVER !!!
@KingKong-he5hs I WOULD WATCH THE THREATS , I AM A CRIMINAL LAWYER !!
Nice one to drive around town and reasonable on the price
Maple motors test drive, let me grab a banquet beer🍺
Very nice project car
True
Nice Galaxie. Will make a nice cruiser with minimal TLC
My first car. Red, 352, automatic, power steering and brakes. I would like to get another one some day. They are really nice cruisers!
Kool car very good price ?❤❤❤❤
it has a c4 transmission down under,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Cars are not suppose to drag the ground ...ever
@@mikecross4350 your entitled to it😁
Why didn't they make ass draggers at the factory??
I love that body style
Sounds and looks good.
Nice ride 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Nice looking T-shirt 👌 it runs... good project car.
Thanks 👍
Does that Galaxy have cut outs with the side pipes and rear exhaust ?
It looks to me like it is old school, just take the plates off the end of the Lakes Pipes.
i feel like every car made in the 60s was designed to be cool
Hairspray will easily remove the ink.
Thank you for the tip
@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Thank you for the channel. I always look forward to Mondays. Never did that in my life, until I started watching your channel friend.

I wouldn't want anything less than a 390 in one of those lol since I already have 289 mustang
Nice $7000 car, are they your cars or consignment cars?
You are stuck in 1985. Time to realize the value of the classic car market. Watch barrett jackson tonight and see what mint cars bring.
