1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Additional Info:
One of the best eras in classic car motoring is when we had plenty of V8 power placed inside a long and sleek pillarless hardtop that was built for cruising. And this 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 really knows how to represent it all. The ideal classic look is finished off with slick paint, a bucket seats interior, and four-on-the-floor. Plus, you'll spot the right investments that keep this one tuning heads and riding strong.
What makes this coupe look so great is the quality of its condition. There was a big investment in the factory-correct Emberglo Metallic to give this copper-like paint a true precious metal impression. And of course, it would never look this good if all the sheetmetal were not in top condition. This was the dawn of the muscle car era, and the white pinstripe loves to highlight these forceful lines that draw added attention to the rear. Plus, the upgraded Billet Specialties wheels have a 18/20 inch front/read stagger to let those polished alloys further highlight where all the power is delivered to the pavement. More of this expert mix of vintage and upgraded is seen throughout the car - everywhere from the classic chrome bumpers to the sharp-looking tinted windows.
You're going to want to leave all the windows down on this pillarless hardtop just so people can get a better look inside. The light parchment interior has a quality look in the details, like the intricate door panel trim, plush carpeting, and the comfort weave inserts in the seats with a detailed tan pattern. It makes for a nice atmosphere to share this spacious coupe with family and friends. But you don't need any of them to enjoy this classic Ford. It's a driver-oriented setup with bucket seats, large Stewart Warner auxiliary readouts, and a column-mounted Sunpro tach. And we know you'll love resting your right hand on that tall Hurst shifter. The dash retains plenty of stock pieces, including the AM radio that's still on display. But your real driving tunes are an upgraded experience thanks to a cleanly installed AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input.
Pop the hood and you'll see this X-code coupe correctly has a 352 cubic-inch V8. It has powerful upgrades like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, aluminum radiator, and headers feeding an H-pipe dual exhaust. And the four-speed manual transmission puts you in firm control of this enhanced V8 and its rumbling soundtrack. The undercarriage photos show fresh components, including the bushings and ball joints. It all gives this a nice ride. Plus, there are the right driving features, like power steering, front disc brakes, and grippy ZR-rated tires.
Complete with owner's manual, this is the ideal hardtop classic with all the right investments. So don't let this Galaxie end up in someone else's garage, call today!
