Equipment
413/360hp, automatic, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, boot cover, power bucket seats, floor shift, console, tach, pushbutton radio, rear seat speaker, power windows, factory air conditioning.
Condition
Light road wear underneath. Older restored engine bay. Very good paint. Lightly scratched brightwork, especially the windshield frame. The doors stick out slightly. Light cracks in the steering wheel and the front seats are a little flat, but the interior is mostly gorgeous. The fins and most of the elegance and "banker's hot rod" performance of the 300 was gone by the time the 300K rolled around, but this is still a very attractive car despite the age of its restoration and some cut corners.
Market commentary
This is a better car than the price it brought and the new owner has a bit left over to fix a few things. It previously hammered not sold at a $12k high bid at Mecum Monterey in 2012 and sold for $30,500 at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas in 2015. Consider that this is no more than a reasonable price for a 352/250hp '64 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible in comparable condition and the magnitude of this deal will be seen in perspective.
