Here is a true American classic that's been loved since the day it
rolled off the assembly line. This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500XL
Convertible wears a sharp white paint job that looks right at home
on its long, timeless body lines. The panels are straight, the
bumpers are in good shape, and the wheels and tires give the car an
excellent stance. All badges are correct and properly placed, and
the brightwork presents nicely, including the iconic front grille,
headlights, and taillights. The white soft-top convertible matches
the exterior perfectly and looks just as good up for cruising as it
does retracted for open-air enjoyment.
Inside, the Emberglo-Copper interior provides a bold contrast to
the white exterior. The door panels are solid, the seats look
great, the carpets are clean, and the dashboard shows no obvious
issues. An aftermarket steering wheel sits ahead of an aftermarket
Bosch tachometer mounted on the steering column. The speedometer
appears stock or stock-style and is easy to read, while an
aftermarket iEquus temperature gauge is neatly mounted under the
dash. The rest of the dashboard remains largely stock, including
the AM/FM radio and climate controls. A center console houses the
T-shifter, power controls, and additional storage.
Under the hood, the engine bay presents well with a blue-painted
390 cubic-inch V8 topped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. Power
is routed through a 3-speed automatic transmission to a stock-style
Ford 9-inch rear axle. The suspension is a bit more stout than a
typical Galaxie 500, with the XL featuring independent front
suspension with upper and lower A-arms, coil springs, and a sway
bar, while the rear uses coil springs, trailing arms, and shocks.
Stopping power comes from front power disc brakes and rear power
drum brakes. The Ford rides on 17-inch aftermarket wheels wrapped
in 225/50R17 Falken ZIEX tires. Keeping things mostly stock are the
exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust, and stock-style mufflers.
