Hello and welcome to the sale of this awesome Ford Galaxie. Manufactured in 1970, this particular Galaxie has been convincingly liveried as a ‘Chicago Police’ homage with an accurate paint scheme, working sirens, blue flashing lights and flashing headlights. It lends itself to a TV/film/promotional hire vehicle business opportunity, a perfect prom car or just a seriously cool bit of fun! With a 5.0 V8 engine, and a brand new stainless steel exhaust system, it certainly looks and sounds the part and raises waves and smiles wherever you go! Not much is known about it's time in the USA, apart from it arriving in the UK in 2021 in a solid and rust free condition. Sure there are a few scabs and bubbles around the body, but the panels are straight, and the shabby patina actually works well for that well worn 'Blues Brothers' look! Underneath the car is in a very sound state with nothing more than some surface rust and no heavy corrosion to the chassis or body. Since then it was owned for a time by Steve Parrish, the renowned Motorcycle GP rider and Truck Racer, and it also featured on TV's 'Shed & Buried'. The car arrived with us in need of a fair amount of mechanical TLC and we set to work on various recommissioning including but not limited to fitting a new starter motor, electric fuel pump, Filter King fuel pressure regulator, steering arm bushes, fresh service including spark plugs and HT leads, new brake pipes, fluid and brakes adjusted accordingly. It now steers and stops as well as any 1970 American car is ever going to! The power steering and 3 speed automatic gearbox takes the hard work out of driving allowing you to enjoy the cruise! The interior is clean and dry, there is some wear to the seat cloth on the passenger side and rear seat back, but some correct matching cloth has been sourced and is included in the sale should you wish to improve in the future. To sum up this is a robust example of an exceptionally cool looking V8 powered American classic car, and I am sure it will bring huge amount of enjoyment to it's next lucky owner and whoever sees them in it!
We specialise in the sale, sourcing and transport of modern retro styled cars, classic cars, roadsters, American and collectable vehicles. We inevitably also carry stock of every day cars but only those up to our exacting standards as we only buy on condition and provenance.
We pride ourselves in being interested and knowledgable in a diverse array of vehicles from all eras, which helps us successfully handle many vehicles that other dealers and auction houses would simply not be interested in or would unfairly want to list with no reserve.
We actively purchase cars to sell, although our 'sale or return' consignment options are very popular for owners who wish to entrust their cars to us to sell on their behalf for maximum return.
Only about half of the vehicles that we handle are listed for retail sale on our website. We are also very active buying and selling all types of vehicle within the motor trade. Please let us know if you are looking for something specific, as we may be able to source it for you.
As well as being car dealers, we are first and foremost car enthusiasts, and our enthusiasm and experience are proudly reflected in the preparation and presentation of our vehicles.
We enjoy building our reputation not only for the quality of our vehicles but also our customer service. We believe in building lasting relationships and have many happy customers and vendors that return again and again. Please have a browse of our growing list of testimonials!
We are also members of the Trading Standards 'Buy With Confidence' scheme, meaning we have been vetted and approved for our quality and best practice, so you can be sure you will receive fairness, honesty and integrity.
Our facilities include a welcoming and relaxed viewing location, collection & delivery, fully insured test drives and trade plates. We are also very happy to take your old car (or anything in fact) in part exchange. Just contact us with the details and we can give you a price to change, up or down.
Buying or selling any vehicle can often be hard work, but it doesn't need to be. We aim to make your experience easy and pleasurable, they way it should be!
