Only 28,000 miles on this extremely rare and very original "G" code
Galaxie 500XL convertible. The durable 406 cubic inch V8 engine
with tri-power and solid lifters is teamed to a four speed manual
transmission. It's factory rated at 405 horsepower! This engine was
Fords response to Chevy's 409. The 352/390 FE block was recast and
strengthened for the 406 application with thicker cylinder walls in
addition to stronger internals, cast iron headers, 2-1/2 inch
exhaust, improved heads, high lift cam and as mentioned solid
lifters and tri-power carburation. The compression ratio is 11.5 to
1. This may be the finest unrestored example to be found. Its had
one repaint in the original color of Heritage Burgundy and the
Light Rose interior is all original. The odometer indicates 28,000
miles which is stated as correct by prior ownership (title states
exempt because of age). Most importantly, the car condition
reflects that of a low mile original car. It runs, drives and
performs excellent too! It was previously part of the Tom Gerrard
car collection in Blue Sky Montana.
