Description of 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 |
This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 sedan is the restomod you were not expecting. This full-size four-door Ford looks vintage and clean on the outside, ut underneath is a much more modern blue oval drivetrain, ncluding its fuel-injected V8.Let's start by looking over the outside of this Galaxie. It has all the great long flowing bodywork you love in these full-size Fords. And this is even the rare four-door pillarless fastback sedan body. But take a closer look, nd you'll notice a few very interesting elements. The chrome wheels are from a later model Ford. Plus the bumpers are from a 1989 LTD Crown Victoria, nd the trunk even has its license plate in a custom recess just like that car. If you think that's interesting, ou'll flip over all the other later Ford updates we have to tell you about on this very custom Galaxie.Step inside, nd you definitely know that's not a 1960s interior. Yup, t's from an LTD again, ith a custom fit of its comfort-oriented interior. This includes the plush velvet-like cloth seats, ower front seats, ower windows, ower locks, ilt steering wheel, nd ice-cold air conditioning that's R134a for easier servicing. The gray interior looks amazing against the light blue paint, nd the finished product is so good that this time warp of an interior really looks like it always belonged in this Galaxie. But even with all of these custom fittings there was room for updates, ncluding auxiliary gauges in the center console, nd an AM/FM/CD stereo so you can play modern tunes in your retro ride.Pop the clamshell hood, nd you'll see an interesting Ford friend. That is a fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 motor. It's a superior smooth runner today, nd we bet you could even find a substantial list of performance parts if you wanted them. And speaking of upgrades, his Galaxie is actually riding on an LTD chassis too, o that also offers a better ride and a whole new world of catalog parts. But you don't need to do anything to this sedan to have fun. It eats up the highway miles with ease thanks to power steering, ront disc brakes, nd a four-speed overdrive automatic transmission. Of course you only need to drive as far as your local car show for people to marvel at this combination of the full-size Ford worlds.This Galaxie 500 takes the best sedan body around, nd gives it an extremely cool modern update. And we've even got the full restoration photos to take you and your friends on the journey that created this cool Ford (there's also the LTD owner's manual included for a helpful reference.) This is a unique classic, nd best of all, t costs much less than a new sedan. Call today!! |
