1966 Ford Galaxie 7 Liter For Sale - 10,845 Original Miles, Never
Restored, A True Survivor LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
1966 Ford Galaxie 7 Liter � Lower, wider, and longer is how Detroit
made cars in the '60s, and this 1966 Ford Galaxie is arguably the
best way to show that off - it's big, bright, and has a powerful
428 V8. Ford let the world know about the 7-Liter, with a "7-Liter"
emblem in the driver's side of the grille. The 7-Liter existed as a
stand-alone model for 1966 and was an offshoot of the Galaxie 500
series. The 7-Liter was Ford's version of the Mercury S-55, which
FoMoCo also introduced in 1966. Today, when people look to buy a
7-Liter car, the more common moniker is a Q-code with an Autolite
480-cfm four-barrel carburetor. The bore and stroke measure 4.13 x
3.98 inches, respectively, allowing it to pump out 345hp at 4,600
rpm along with a stump-pulling 462-lbs.ft. of torque at 2,800 rpm.
With 10.5-compression, the Q-code engine also had solid lifters,
low-restriction dual exhausts and an unsilenced chrome air cleaner.
This 1966 Ford Galaxie was ordered from the factory with the
optional Q-code 428 and backed by a �C6 automatic. Special-ordered
by the original owner Harold K. Arnold in Barnesville, this all
original survivor has been preserved throughout the years having
only accumulated 10,845 original miles from new. Captivating in the
original factory Candy Apple Red the paint is bright and
predominantly clear with areas which reveal its original character
seen by the various marks, minor topical scratches and natural
patina. The body panels, doors and trunk lid have good fitment with
typical gap space for the era and line up well. The chrome and
metal surfaces are in good original condition with the bumpers
displaying minimal deterioration. All of the trim pieces are
original and are damage free. On the hoist, the undercarriage is
reflective of an original never restored car, however, as can be
seen in the pictures, this one is exceptionally clean and
impressive. Lifting the hood, you can appreciate the originality of
the components surrounding the "Q" Code 428 cu. in. engine. �The
interior features original factory Red Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats
on red carpet, both of which are original and in very nice
condition. The steering wheel, console and door panels are original
and show minimal wear for its low mileage and age. It also comes
fully documented with Ownercard, Owner's Manual and Dealership
Brochure. At Concours events nationwide "Preservation Classes" have
been added to showcase well preserved and mostly unrestored,
un-refinished, and unaltered cars. In "Hagerty's Cars That Matter"
they observed unrestored cars sell for prices that would have
astonished in the recent past. Overall, this car is a truly
beautiful survivor and presents a very unique opportunity in which
to purchase an extremely desirable, original and fully documented Q
Code Galaxie. According to the 7 Liter Galaxie Registry, this car
is currently the lowest mileage original known to exist.�
