Description

There is something magnetic about a classic full-size American convertible, and this 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 delivers it in spades. With just 4,131 original miles, this low-mileage survivor looks and feels like it just rolled out of the showroom while carrying the presence and attitude of a true muscle-era icon.

The 390 V8 fires up easily, humming with that unmistakable Ford big-block growl. Paired with the smooth C6 automatic, it offers effortless cruising. Every twist of the steering wheel and stomp on the pedal delivers pure vintage American engineering, raw yet refined, powerful yet controlled.

Its Candyapple Red exterior gleams in the sunlight, showing extremely well with minor, age-appropriate imperfections that tell a story without stealing the spotlight. The interior is factory-correct red, featuring vinyl bench seats with black stripe accents, a red and black dash with wood inlay, matching red steering wheel, and red carpeting, all in excellent condition. The very clean aftermarket convertible top invites open-air drives and enhances the car's classic lines.

Built in Chicago with a 3.00:1 rear axle, this Galaxie 500 blends collector-quality originality with genuine driveability. A discreet period-style aftermarket security system is installed in the driver front quarter panel emblem, reflecting thoughtful ownership while leaving the car's character intact.

This car does not belong in a garage. It begs to be driven, to be felt, and to make an entrance wherever it goes. Owning this Galaxie 500 is owning a piece of 1960s American muscle, a convertible that combines classic style, commanding presence, and authentic driving character while still performing and feeling like it did the day it left the factory.
