#600

For sale in our Chicago showroom is a sterling, numbers matching 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 coupe. During Detroit's glory days, Ford seldom beat Chevy in the sales race for full size coupes and sedans. But as the perennial number two, Ford really tried harder. There's no better example of that spirit than this magnificently maintained '66 Galaxie. Painted with urethane clearcoat in the original Ford Candy Apple Red and Wimbledon White, this beauty has clocked only a bit over 41,000 miles and has less than 10,000 miles on its frame-on restoration. Looking great in its chrome engine dress up kit, Ford's venerable 352 CID V-8 with a 4 barrel carb is hooked up to the Cruise-O-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission, and emits a smooth growl through the dual exhaust with Cherry Bombs and Magnaflow tips. The Galaxie rides on BF Goodrich Radial TAs mounted on chrome American Mag wheels and stops courtesy of new power front disc brakes. The original vinyl interior barely shows any wear; the carpeting and headliner are also in great shape. Options include power steering, power brakes, custom floor mats, tinted glass, AM radio, clock, remote driver's side mirror and manual passenger mirror, Summit gauges, new chrome alternator, new electronic ignition, and chrome pedal dress up kit. If you're not hooked yet, the owner has a cache of spare parts including the original floor mats (three sets of mats total!), original radiator cap and alternator, wheel covers, hood ornaments, headlight bezels, and various other trim and chrome pieces. If you're looking for a stylish, full-sized cruiser, you'll work hard to find one nicer than this.
