Auctioning Now: Surfing Champion’s ‘64 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan

If you move in a hurry, you might be able to scoop up this customized 1964 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan owned a surfing champion. That celebrity owner is none other than US Para Surf team member Sarah Bettencourt. It’s a unique ride and the auction closes in just two days.

This 1959 Chevy Impala is listed for supercar money.

We know a lot of people dream of having a genuine celebrity-owned classic car and that’s what this Ford is. While there are two days left to bid, this thing is sitting at just over $12,000 so it could end up being a rather affordable acquisition for the winner.

According to its listing on Bring A Trailer, this classic wagon has resided since new on the West Coast. We assume that means the chassis isn’t rusty graham cracker from road salt – a huge plus on a ride like this.

It was overhauled as well as modified back in 2019 and sits a little lower, plus it rolls on 18-inch Detroit Steel Smoothies for that timeless look. The engine, a Z-code 390ci V8, has an Edelbrock intake manifold, Holley 650CFM carb, and Holley valve covers added.

Some modifications have been done to the interior as well. Among them are heated front bucket seats. There’s a nice center console made to mimic what’s found in Thunderbirds. The new owner will be able to rock out with the Kenwood stereo and custom sound system.

Bettencourt has owned it since 2023. She’s throwing in the ’60s-era Carbonell longboard and Aloha racks shown in the pictures, which is a nice bonus.
