Description

1966 Ford Galaxie 500 7-Litre Convertible – The 1965 Ford line was advertised as the “newest since 1949.” They were indeed all-new cars with new bodies, new perimeter frames, new technology (including slightly curved side-glass), new fashionable boxy styling and vertical headlamps, and new small-block 289 V-8 engines available. Big 427 FE blocks maxed out at 425 hp again, and that was considered “enough” for those who wanted to go very fast. The 1966 cars received a mild face-lift with a new roofline on two-door hardtops and a new two-way tailgate on the highly popular full-sized Ford wagons, none of which carried the Galaxie nomenclature. A new Galaxie 500 “7-Litre” two-door hardtop (with the new roofline) was introduced as a performance version, including a cheaper-to-build 428 FE block with 345 hp. The car featured a sports steering wheel of simulated English walnut, bucket seats, a floor shift, low restriction exhausts and non-silenced air cleaner, as well as new power front disc brakes. 1966 saw the Galaxie line “trident” into three directions; luxury, super luxury and luxury sports.

Do you like to turn heads when you cruise around town? If the answer is “yes” then you need to strongly consider adding this beautiful ’66 Galaxie convertible to your garage! Condition and limited production are the two elements that help ensure your investment in a classic is a wise one. While Ford produced 597,002 Galaxies in 1966, the 7-litre convertibles made up only 2,368 of the units that rolled off the assembly line.  Yes, that is less than 1/2 of 1% of total production! Over the last 2 years, this Galaxie has been brought up to reliable cruising condition with the replacement/service of the starter, battery, front & rear suspension, exhaust, rear drums, ball joints, horn, convertible top service, oil/filter, steering box, and a carburetor rebuild. Needless to say the end result is a great looking, great driving, and always appreciating classic!
