HISTORY - For the 1966 model year, the S-55 made its return as a
stand-alone model (becoming the only S model to make a return). As
in 1962, the model lineup consisted solely of two-door hardtops and
convertibles. Again based on the Monterey, the S-55 featured a
bucket-seat interior with a floor-mounted shifter and a
higher-performance powertrain. Styling accents include unique body
side-striping, deluxe wheel covers and the distinctive S-55 emblem
on rear quarter panel and 428 V-8 emblem on the front fender sides.
As with the previous generation the retail price and number of
hardtops made was similar at US$3,292 ($30,914 in 2023 dollars [3])
with 2,916 sold.[1] In place of the 390 and 427 V8 engines, the
1966 S-55 was powered by a single engine. A 345hp ''Super
Marauder'' 428 cubic-inch V8 was paired to a 4-speed manual
transmission or 3-speed ''Merc-O-Matic" automatic transmission.
This was the same engine that powered the Ford Galaxie 500 7-Litre
of the same year. NOTE: I HAVE POSTED 109 PHOTOS AND A VIDEO AT
www.500classicauto.com. The 2 photos after engine is the VIN TAG
and DATA TAG. Last photo is build sheet and window sticker. Selling

DUAL EXHAUST WITH FLOWMASTER STYLE MUFFS. HAS PLENTY OF POWER AND
SHIFTS LIKE SHE SHOULD. BRAKES ARE POWER DRUM BUT STOPS ON A DIME.
TIRES LIKE NEW. BODY - SOILD AND VERY STRAIGHT. HAS GOOD LINES.
NEVER WRECKED. FRONT BUMPER CHROME IS REALLY NICE. BACK BUMPER HAS
SOME PITTS ON 1 END. THE REST OF TRIM LOOKS REALLY GOOD. THE PAINT
WAS REDONE ONCE OVER 20 YEARS AGO AND HAS A COOL FADE TO IT. I
THINK THE TOP WAS PEELING AT ONE POINT AND SOMEONE PUT A FAKE VINYL
ROOF ON IT. THEY EVEN USED A TYPE OF RIBBON DOWN BOTH SIDES TO MAKE
IT LOOK LIKE MATERIAL LAPPED OVER LIKE A REAL ONE. DOORS WORK GREAT
AND WINDOWS WORK WELL. THE INSIDE - REALLY NICE FOR ORIGINAL WHITE
