More often than not, when we feature a Ford Galaxie here on Barn Finds, it’s of the 2-Door variety.  But this 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 Sedan is pretty high on the cool factor scale and more than worthy of a shout-out, so if you’ve got a family or just prefer outward entrances to both seats this one would definitely be worth taking a look at.  The car is located in Galesburg, Michigan, and can be spotted here on Craigslist with an asking price of $9,800.  Reader Pat L. has been finding lots of excellent rides lately and keeping us busy, and we’d like to thank him for sending this one our way and for all his other great tips.  Please keep them coming!

We don’t get any background information about the Galaxie, so we’ve got to fast-forward to the present, and judging from the photos the car certainly gives the appearance of a well-kept and lovingly cared-for vehicle.  There’s no word on whether or not any bodywork has ever been done or if it’s always been this nicely preserved, and the only thing mentioned about the paint is that it is enamel but is starting to crack in some areas, although overall it is holding up nicely.  The seller does state that he’s planning to do a full paint correction to bring the full shine back, although no details about what that will entail.  I did find it a bit odd that this wasn’t performed before the car went up for sale, but I’d take the car looking just like it is and forego any paint repair work if it was me.

Lift the hood and you’ll find a V8 that’s looking like it’s ready for action.  The seller says it’s a very strong runner, but doesn’t state if the motor is original to the car or if it has ever had a rebuild.  But a recent tune-up has been done, which included a new carburetor, fuel filter, and starter.  The Galaxie is also wearing a new set of tires all the way around.  No details are given about the state of the automatic transmission, but mileage is claimed to be just 77,000 so hopefully, everything mechanically is still in good working order.

The only thing specifically mentioned about the interior is the front seat has a few splits, and that the seller is planning to have this professionally repaired before the sale if the buyer wishes.  Again, I’m not sure why this is pending instead of completed since the car is already for sale, and I’m also curious if that dash cover is for protection or if it’s hiding something, but overall things inside look pretty good to be over half a century old.  I’m kind of digging this 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 and thinking it will probably find a new home fairly quickly, what do you think?  Is the asking price of just under 10 grand reasonable for a Sedan in this condition?
