A True Survivor

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1966 Ford Galaxie 7 Liter

Lower, wider, and longer is how Detroit made cars in the '60s, and this 1966 Ford Galaxie is arguably the best way to show that off – it's big, bright, and has a powerful 428 V8. Ford let the world know about the 7-Liter, with a "7-Liter" emblem in the driver's side of the grille. The 7-Liter existed as a stand-alone model for 1966 and was an offshoot of the Galaxie 500 series. The 7-Liter was Ford's version of the Mercury S-55, which FoMoCo also introduced in 1966. Today, when people look to buy a 7-Liter car, the more common moniker is a Q-code with an Autolite 480-cfm four-barrel carburetor. The bore and stroke measure 4.13 x 3.98 inches, respectively, allowing it to pump out 345hp at 4,600 rpm along with a stump-pulling 462-lbs.ft. of torque at 2,800 rpm. With 10.5-compression, the Q-code engine also had solid lifters, low-restriction dual exhausts and an unsilenced chrome air cleaner.
This 1966 Ford Galaxie was ordered from the factory with the optional Q-code 428 and backed by a C6 automatic. Special-ordered by the original owner Harold K. Arnold in Barnesville, this all original survivor has been preserved throughout the years having only accumulated 10,845 original miles from new. Captivating in the original factory Candy Apple Red the paint is bright and predominantly clear with areas which reveal its original character seen by the various marks, minor topical scratches and natural patina. The body panels, doors and trunk lid have good fitment with typical gap space for the era and line up well. The chrome and metal surfaces are in good original condition with the bumpers displaying minimal deterioration. All of the trim pieces are original and are damage free. On the hoist, the undercarriage is reflective of an original never restored car, however, as can be seen in the pictures, this one is exceptionally clean and impressive. Lifting the hood, you can appreciate the originality of the components surrounding the "Q" Code 428 cu. in. engine. The interior features original factory Red Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats on red carpet, both of which are original and in very nice condition. The steering wheel, console and door panels are original and show minimal wear for its low mileage and age. It also comes fully documented with Ownercard, Owner’s Manual and Dealership Brochure.
At Concours events nationwide “Preservation Classes” have been added to showcase well preserved and mostly unrestored, un-refinished, and unaltered cars. In "Hagerty's Cars That Matter" they observed unrestored cars sell for prices that would have astonished in the recent past. Overall, this car is a truly beautiful survivor and presents a very unique opportunity in which to purchase an extremely desirable, original and fully documented Q Code Galaxie. According to the 7 Liter Galaxie Registry, this car is currently the lowest mileage original known to exist.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
