Vehicle Description
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 comes from that ideal time when we had
plenty of V8 power placed inside a long and sleek pillarless
hardtop that was built for cruising. This one really shows it off
the best, because it was fully restored to have vibrant paint, a
loaded A/C interior, and a 352ci motor built with a lot of goodies,
including fuel injection. So if you're looking for fresh, fast, and
comfy, dig into all the details here.
What makes this coupe look so great is the quality you see from
every angle. There was a big investment in making sure the bold red
had a high-gloss shine that can show off the Galaxie's detailed
body lines. And of course, it would never look this good if all the
sheet metal were not in top condition. This was the dawn of the
muscle car era, and so you have some great details, like
full-length ribbed rockers and imposingly wide bumpers that shine
like mirrors. The stacked headlight look is always awesome, and it
only gets better with those crystal clear units. In fact, you'll
see a thoughtful style all over this coupe. That's why it sits on
era-correct American Racing competition-style Torq Thrust wheels
and a nice set of redline tires that go with the paint.
You're going to want to leave all the windows down on this
pillarless hardtop just so people can get a better look inside.
It's a fresh sea of red where the details get to take center stage.
This includes the plush carpeting with Galaxie-script floor mats;
supple seats with a cool darker red textured insert; and taut door
panels that match the seats. In fact, a thoughtful restoration like
this looks at things that can get missed on other cars, like the
new weather-stripping, working clock, or the AM radio that's still
cranking out tunes. This is a full-size coupe with plenty of room
for family and friends. And you can keep them all happy with
upgrades like power windows and cold-blowing air conditioning. But
it's the driver that takes priority in a car like this. You'll love
vintage details, like the thin steering wheel, wide speedometer,
and even the auxiliary gauge trio is vintage-style. These are
joined by handy upgrades, like a moveable center console and a
controller for something extra special under the hood.
The engine bay is a very fresh presentation, and the bold blue
motor radiating at the center has the right stock look. You even
have a correct 352 cubic-inch motor for this X-code coupe. But it
doesn't take much digging to realize this is actually a fully
upgraded package. This V8 is suspected of being original to the
car, but it has been enhanced and fortified. This includes an
Edelbrock cam, new lifters, a timing chain, and topped with a
Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system. It also has the
right supporting components, like an MSD distributor, a newer fuel
pump, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan. The motor fires up
readily as a good FI machine should. And the three-speed automatic
transmission was rebuilt for smooth shifting. The undercarriage
photos show fresh components, including Hotchkis upgrades and sway
bars. Plus, you have power steering, power brakes, and front discs.
So it's the classic that drives with confidence.
The sale comes complete with restoration photos and a detailed list
of the big investments in this coupe. Don't let this
out-of-this-world Galaxie end up in someone else's garage. Call
