Ford: GALAXIE 500

1966 Ford Galaxie 7 Litre
Take a look at this rare & beautiful 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 2 DR Hard Top 7 Litre brought to you by CARuso Classic Cars. The 7 Litre model was only produced in 1966 and as Galaxie enthusiasts know the car was equipped with a 428 CU engine but was badged as a 7 Litre. This was the second time that a metric motor designation had ever been put on an American car (first was the 6.5 Litre 1964 GTO). The reason for this is because the insurance companies didn’t like the 428 brand being put on the car so Ford rebranded the engine as the 7 Liter to get around it.

The odometer shows 128,500 miles but the engine was completely rebuilt soon after the owner acquired the car in 2002 and has been driven less than 500 miles since. The engine is correct but NOT original. However it is a real 428 Cobra Jet engine and matching transmission that was taken from a 1968 Mercury Cyclone. The engine is said to be worth $8-$10k alone! It features a Holley Dominator Carb, new polished Edelbrock intake manifold and custom Ford cobra valve covers. The 3 speed auto transmission is heavy duty C-6 type and the rear axle is a limited slip. The car has all of the proper 7 litre badging on the front grille, back trunk and on the interior glove box. All mechanical systems appear to operate properly. This vehicle is in mostly original and in overall excellent condition. It has been repainted the original Tahoe Turquoise color in a Lacquer finish in 1985. The lacquer paint is aging well, however some very minor imperfections are just beginning to show i.e. orange peel only slightly noticeable. There is also a small spot of bubbling paint on the passenger side door lower (pictured). The car is equipped with A/C (1967 factory model), power steering, power brakes and power driver’s seat. The deluxe vinyl interior is in excellent condition as is the white vinyl top (not original) which features turquoise accents on the sides. All gauges and lights are working and functional including the rare Ford Rotunda performance gauge! The trim panel is showing some minor wear and tear and there are a few missing tab controls on the heater panel (easy replacement). The chrome and all of the trim on the car are bright and in excellent condition. The underside of the car is also in excellent condition, very clean, solid floors with no signs of rust anywhere. The car also features dual exhaust equipped by Lou's Custom Exhaust of MA. Car also has new starter.

This rare and real Galaxie 7 Litre is part of a very nice private collection of 60's and 70's muscle cars that the owner has spared no expense to maintain. Reasonable reserve for an original 7 Litre car! Don't miss it!
