40¢/lb: 1965 Ford Galaxies (3)

, , 4

One of the schools of thought for buying a classic car says that you should always buy the biggest car you can get for the least amount of money…which is great if you run a scrap yard or a recycling plant, but maybe not the best idea if you actually want to enjoy driving your classic.  But…there is something about paying a minimum dollars per pound that appeals to the shopper in anyone.  Take a look at this package deal of three 1965 Ford Galaxies offered for $4,900 located in Littleton, CO.

The 3rd generation Ford Galaxie (1965-1968) was a behemoth of a
full-sized automobile, and the sedan version crushes the scales at
something like 3800 lbs before you optioned up to the big block engines.  The 4-door variant is considered a “grandpa” car by collectors these days and are cheap…but this package deal is going for about 40 ¢ per pound.
