This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible was modified under previous ownership with a retrofitted 390ci V8, an AccuAir air-suspension system, 20″ U.S. Wheel 66 Series Rat Rod wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, a dual exhaust, and a Sony stereo with rear speakers. Finished in blue with pinstriping over white and blue vinyl upholstery, the car is also equipped with a power-operated white soft top, power steering, dual side mirrors, and chrome bumpers. The car was acquired by the seller after it was listed on BaT in January 2023, and since that time, Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and HyperSpark ignition have been added. Electrical problems were fixed, the air suspension and cooling systems were upgraded, a paint correction was performed, and LED headlights and front and rear three-point seatbelts were installed. This Galaxie 500 convertible is now offered with the owner’s manual, spare parts, a car cover, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in blue with pinstriping and features a power-operated white soft top, stacked headlights, dual side mirrors, Galaxie 500 badging, chrome bumpers and trim, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller states that the paint was professionally corrected with touch-ups, polishing, and buffing. Additional work under current ownership included installing LED headlights and replacing one convertible-top hydraulic cylinder.
The 20″ U.S. Wheel 66 Series Rat Rod wheels were recoated under current ownership, and the seller had Nitto NT555 G2 tires mounted. The car is equipped with power steering and an AccuAir air-suspension system that was updated with an e-Level+ controller. The front air spring arrangement was also replaced with spring/shock units, and the front A-arm bushings and sway-bar bushings were replaced. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood rear calipers, and new brake pads were installed under current ownership.
The cabin has been reupholstered in white vinyl with blue inserts and piping. Interior appointments include a black dash pad, replacement black carpeting, woodgain trim, a glovebox, a Sony AM/FM stereo, rear-seat speakers, a trunk-mounted subwoofer, a heater, and white three-point seatbelts for the front and rear seating positions. A crack is noted in the clock face.
Instrumentation consists of a sweeping 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The horns and steering-wheel horn button were repaired under current ownership. The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership, though total mileage is unknown.
The retrofitted 390ci V8 has been converted from a Holley carburetor to Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection and fitted with Holley HyperSpark ignition. Additional work under current ownership included installing an aluminum radiator, a replacement alternator, an Optima RedTop battery, a battery tender, new belts, and a replacement transmission pan and gasket. The seller also states that electrical faults were addressed.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a C-6 automatic transmission.
The odometer reading is listed as Exempt.
