The ’66 Ford Galaxie is part of the third-generation series, which brought quite a makeover to the model available in four different body styles, namely 2-door hardtop and convertible and 4-door hardtop and sedan.
Needless to say, the most striking change was the one concerning the headlights that now used a vertical layout, therefore coming together quite nicely with the rest of the now-taller body.
If you liked the vertically stacked headlights, you can check them out in detail on this barn find model that someone is now selling on eBay at a really good price.
According to the listing, the Ford was left abandoned in storage since the mid to late ‘90s until the previous owner decided to begin a light restoration that was only some 70 percent completed. The Galaxie ended up in a barn in Shoemakersville, Pennsylvania where it was found by the current owner in September this year.
The body looks good, but the seller does admit that it’s “still an amateur quality paint job,” so if you want to fully restore the car and bring it back to like-new condition, this is the place to start.
“The door jambs need to be freshened up and detailed and new weather stripping would be a great idea. The vinyl top is over 20 years old but looks new because it was never in the weather,” the seller says.
The car is otherwise solid, with some rot holes here and there on the underside, while the interior looks clean and in pretty good condition.
As for the engine, it’s powered by the original 289ci (4.7-liter), and after a few fixes, it started right up. However, additional tweaks are needed before you can take it home on its wheels.
And now, the price. The Galaxie in this fairly good condition can be yours for $7,495, but the seller also accepts other offers. The car is parked in New Jersey.
