- This custom Ford Galaxie 500 could sell for over $200,000 thanks to extensive modifications.
- This one-of-a-kind build now houses a modern Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine under its hood.
- The cabin features plush blue leather upholstery and modern amenities like climate control.
There are basic Ford Galaxie 500 models out there selling for less than $10,000, but this 1965 model is in a completely different league. That’s because it underwent a full rebuild over the course of three years. If you’re into wild restomods, this is probably one of the finest examples you’ll find in the U.S.

Virtually everything underneath this Galaxie has been upgraded. The suspension arms are new, there’s a set of high-performance Wilwood brakes, a Holley electric fuel pump, and a RideTech air ride system, which explains why it’s sitting so low in these photos.

The original engine has also been replaced. Under the hood there’s a 2011 Ford Coyote 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 that’s been custom-built for this car. It includes Flowtech headers and the engine bay that is so clean you could eat your lunch on it. There’s no word on how much power it is currently pushing out, but we know it’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission powering the rear wheels.
The bodywork has been completely overhauled and finished in Brilliant Silver, along with custom taillights that add a modern twist to the classic design.

No stone has been left unturned in transforming the cabin. Virtually all surfaces are now trimmed in plush blue leather, making the interior feel more like a premium modern sedan rather than one from 1965. There’s also an aftermarket audio system, a Vintage Air climate control setup, and a special split three-spoke steering wheel.
There’s no word on how many miles are on the original chassis, nor how much the car has been driven since it was overhauled with the Coyote V8. However, we’re sure someone will be willing to pay big bucks to get behind the wheel when it crosses the auction block, with Mecum estimating that it should sell for $175,000-$200,000.
If that sounds like something you’re willing to fork over, you can check out the listing over here.
