    I recognize the car, I've never heard of the dealer. I'm about an hour from Milledgeville, GA.

    The wagon was in a local auction last September, 2014. I don't really remember the specifics or the amount it sold for then.
    I do recall it was a little shabby, note the primer spots, but basically solid. She sounded good, I don't know how she drove, though.
    She's been cleaned up now, based on the photos, but no major changes since the auction.

    Sorry I'm not more helpful...

    If you're interested, just one suggestion: My folks had a '69 Galaxie 500 with a 390, and if I'm remembering correctly, the molding area next to the front side marker light had a '390' designation there, instead of the Ford crest that this vehicle has. I'm pretty sure this engine is actually a 351 Windsor with a 2-barrel carb, which was also one of the optional engines.

    Thanks, the interior looks pretty much original, but it's kind of nice to know what they were covering up with the primer.

    It is a Y code, which is a 2v 390 in 1969, it also has the front 2 spark plugs and rear 2 plugs at opposing angles which I believe Ford only used in the FE series heads. I don't know why it doesn't have the 390 on the trim when that seems to be pretty common on 390 and 429 full size cars for 1969.
