1966 Ford 7-Litre Galaxie 500

DescriptionCool Classic Rides, Dealer #DA8690 is excited to offer another classic with this 1966 Ford 7-Litre Galaxie 500. This is a prime example of old school cool and absolutely no detail has been missed throughout this restoration. We think it is the all around nicest job we have done on a cool, classic ride, so far. With a fresh 428 big block motor and new exhaust, this ride has plenty of power and it runs and drives excellent. The 1966 Galaxie 500 was the very first car to use the 428. Speaking of power and speed, the “500” was added to the Galaxie name in 1962 in an effort to help connect the car more to Nascar and its’ 500-mile races. Ford played a large role in supporting race teams, because winning races would help increase car sales. In production for only three years, and with just 8,705 built in 1966, this is a rare one indeed. Referred to as “The smoothest brute on wheels” and “either the quickest quiet car or the quietest quick car” the 7-Litre Galaxie was geared towards those wanting luxury combined with some sport car attributes as well. This Galaxie has a super straight, super clean body with no rust found. The fresh coat of paint has brought it back to its factory original color and it looks fantastic. Pair that with original chrome in excellent shape (some minor scratches) and original 7-litre striping and you've got yourself one slick ride. Brand new white wall tires on great wheels also look awesome. All original 7 litre hubcaps are here and intact as well. The special badging was only used on the 1966 model. These are so hard to find, that the one grill badge we could find on Ebay is currently going for $1800. The interior is practically brand new, but has been restored to its factory original look. The new carpet, upholstery and headliner all look fantastic. The original door panels and dash are in excellent condition. This is definitely one ride you do not want to miss out on. You will find it very hard to find another Galaxie 500 like this one, in similar shape, for a better deal. REMEMBER, WE ALSO HAVE FREE SHIPPING IN THE LOWER 48 STATES ON ALL FULL PRICE PURCHASES, over $12,000. Some restrictions may apply. We always highly recommend a professional inspection, or a private viewing before any purchase. Make sure you know exactly what you are buying. We do not sell show cars, we sell nice daily drivers, made to get out on the open road. These vehicles do not drive like brand new vehicles, because they are not brand new. They will often be bumpy, noisy and in some cases, just plain rough but that is what happens when you buy a classic ride and if that does not sound like something you want, we encourage you to shop elsewhere.
