1966 Ford Galaxie Restomod

Description

This 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 has the hardtop look you love that also has the right touch of a speedy attitude. And beneath the skin is an all-around great cruiser with a fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 and an overdrive transmission.

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. There's just something extra attractive about a pillarless hardtop coupe. You have the classic pieces you love, like the ribbed rockers, and wide chrome bumpers. Plus, it's upgraded with a hood scoop, dual exhaust tips, and a set of black racing stripes that look distinct against the white paint. So it has an upgraded look, but nothing here is ever too fancy to keep you from taking it out on the road. This project was all about adding better driving features. In fact, the upgraded 17-inch wheels not only let you fit better modern tires, but also they look like they were borrowed from a later model Ford, and so that really hints at what powers this coupe.

The interior has a good and clean look. It starts with the bench seats that have been upgraded with comfy tweed inserts. And this black and gray attitude coordinates on the door panels, dash, headliner, and carpeting for a uniform full appearance. That makes it extra comfy for people to spread out over the two wide rows of seating. There's also an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with USB and Bluetooth for the best in modern driving music. You'll enjoy the classic pieces like the wide gauge panel and factory steering wheel, and the upgraded auxiliary gauges are great to give you a full picture of the upgrade in the engine bay.

While this Galaxie was born in the era of some good Ford V8s, you'll particularly like what's under the hood here. It's a younger Ford legend with a 5.0-liter borrowed from an F-Series pickup. This comes from the time of great features like fuel injection, a serpentine belt system, and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive. So it's great to still have those under the hood today. There's even an upgraded Champion aluminum radiator to help keep the full package running cool. The FI motor fires up readily, and this one loves to hit the road. That's why it's great to also have power steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern Hankook tires.

This Galaxie 500 takes the desirable hardtop body and gives it an extremely cool modern update. This is a unique classic offered for a value price. Call now!
