1966 Ford Galaxie 500 7-Litre for sale on BaT Auctions - ending October 23 (Lot #88,391) | Bring a Trailer Sold on BAT in 2016 for $35,000
On Victoria Island. Not only will you have to import it back to the states, you'll have to take a ferry back to the mainland........ ............................................. Early - mid 60's Fords look BEAUTIFUL in this color. ............................................. Jay Leno has one of these in his collection. I don't know if it's the original car or not, but his dad was car shopping in 1966, and teenager Jay talked his dad into getting one with the 428 engine. Car had so much power, it scared his dad, and almost immediately he traded it back in on something more sedate. He probably mentions the story in this video.....
I wish they would just state the cubic inches instead of liters. I was never a big fan of the conversion and we/they didn't use liters then anyway.
They called it "7 liters" because of the FE's used in the GT40 Mk II's at Le Mans. Frankly, I think it's cool to say "1966 Galaxie 7-Liter Coupe" anyway.
Agreed Krash. Between Tahoe Turquoise, and Emberglow I don’t know what color I would have chosen. Especially with this parchment interior! Cars were sure exciting back then. Used to love these first weeks of October with new car showings. That’s not even fun anymore.
Certain car colors stand out to me, and that early-mid 60's Ford turquoise was probably the first color I ever noticed as 'making' the car. I've mentioned before my dad's buddy bought a brand-new Galaxie 500XL with that turquoise in and out. It was beautiful...... When our younger daughter totaled our first Ford Edge, we decided we wanted another Edge, but we were tired of WHITE. Wanted to put a little color in our vehicle lives. Didn't want black or silver, either. Spotted one in this 'white gold' color and that was it.....(not our car in the photo, but it was the pic that best represented the color - haven't taken good pics of ours yet....)
