If the name Galaxie sounds space-related, that's because it is. The Fifties and the Sixties were the height of the space race, and nearly every consumer good in the United States incorporated some element of the cosmos in its branding. Ford chose the name Galaxie for its full-size car between 1959 and 1974. The name is fitting, particularly when considering this third-generation 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible in all its 213 inches length. Sporting just 15,000 miles after a complete frame-off restoration that includes a new motor, it's a great classic that will motor on for decades.
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible looks stunning in all its teal glory after the full frame-off restoration that it underwent. It also sports a new windshield and new tires on retro-modern wheels. You'll notice that the lights and chrome work look excellent, as does the white convertible top. Ditto the Ford and Galaxie badging, which showcase the pedigree of the car. There's plenty more work to recognize, albeit under the skin. For now, let's get inside and appreciate the tan interior that the seller reports to be from a 1965 Galaxie. We have been informed that the dash has been rewrapped, plus an electronic trunk release has been installed. The seats look excellent with their lap belts, as does the center console with its wood trim. You'll also note some extra gauges have been installed to better monitor the car's vitals. Playing more games of 'I Spy' reveals an aftermarket JVC head unit with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, plus aftermarket speakers for an up-to-date infotainment experience.
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Convertible packs a new 350ci (5.7L) crate engine with an automatic transmission that's reportedly been rebuilt. The seller tells us that there's a Posi rear, a new fuel tank, updated suspension, new headers, cams, a stainless steel exhaust, a chrome alternator, chrome power steering unit, electric fans, a new radiator and electronic ignition. You'll also be glad to know that the brakes have been converted to a disk set-up for better braking power. There's even a battery cut-off in case of emergency.
