UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1966 GALAXIE 500 7 LITRE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR SOME 4 YEARS AGO FROM THR PRESIDENT OF THE GALAXIE REGISTRY IN CALIFORNIA. I SPENT THE NEXT YEAR RESTORING IT. I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 66 COUNTRY SQUIRE AND A 69 CHRYSLER 300 WITH EXTREMELY LOW MILES SO I MUST MAKE ROOM!! THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THE CAR. BODY: STRIPPED TO BARE METAL AND AN ABSOLUTELY RUST FREE CAR IS WHAT WAS STARTED WITH. ALL DENTS AND IMPERFECTIONS WERE REMOVED AND THE ORIGINAL CANDY APPLE RED PAINT WAS REAPPLIED ONLY IN A BASE/ CLEAR FORMULA. IT WAS THEN WET SANDED AND BUFFED AS YOU SEE IT. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE PAINT JOBS YOU HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT--DOES IT LOOK THIS GOOD IN PERSON? YES IT DOES!!! NEEDLESS TO SAY, BUT I WILL SAY IT ANYWAY, THE BODY IS LAZER STRAIGHT. THE OPTIONAL STRIPE WAS APPLIED BY HAND TO EXACT FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. THE BUMPERS WERE RECHROMED, THE HEADLAMP DOORS WERE N.O.S. AS WAS THE ANTENNA AND THE LR WHEEL MOLDING. THE REST OF THE WHEEL MOLDINGS AND THE ROCKER MOLDINGS AND THE REAR MOLDINGS BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS WERE SENT TO BRUCE MILLER OUT OF GEORGIA. HE HAD THEM DE-ANODIZED, REPAIRED ALL DINGS AND BUFFED AND POLISHED. TAIL LAMP BEZELS, LENSES, LEFT MIRROR, DOOR HANDLES AND THE 7 LITRE EMBLEMS ON THE FENDERS ARE REPRODUCTIONS. THE SPEAR ON THE TRUNK LID IS EXTREMELY NICE AND ORIGINAL. I PUT IN A NEW WINDSHIELD AT THE TIME AS WELL. WHEELCOVERS WERE A COMBINATION OF THE BEST I COULD FIND. I PUT 5 NEW B.F.G'S ON AND HAVE LOGGED ABOUT 2000 MILES SINCE COMPLETION. MECHANICAL: THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS COMPLETELY REBUILT AS WERE THE DISC BRAKES. REAR BRAKES WERE DONE AS WELL WITH NEW WHEEL CYLINDERS ETC... A NEW RADIATOR AND WATER PUMP KEEP THE CAR COOL EVEN ON THE WORST HOT DAYS. I HAD THE HEADS REDONE ALSO ALONG WITH A CARB REBUILD [ORIGINAL]. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY WITH NO ISSUES. INTERIOR: THIS A COMBINATION OF ORIGINAL AND NEW. FRONT SEAT COVERS, HEADLINER, CARPET AND DASH COVERS ARE NEW. THE REAR SEAT, DOOR AND 1/4 TRIM PANELS ALONG WITH THE REAR PACKAGE TRAY, CONSOLE AND INTRUMENTATION ARE ORIGINAL AND VERY NICE. ALL WEATHERSTRIPPING AND FUZZIES ARE NEW AS WELL. THINGS THE CAR NEEDS: THE AC DOES NOT WORK AND HAVE NEVER LOOKED INTO IT, THE TURN SIGNALS WILL NOT CANCEL BY THEMSELVES AND SINCE PUTTING ON THE NEW REPRO STEERING WHEEL, THE HORN IS INOPERABLE. I RECENTLY DROVE THE CAR ON 350 MILE ROUND TRIP WITH NO PROBLEMS, OTHER THAN A LOT OF FUEL USED!! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A CAR LIKE THIS YOU CANNOT BUILD ONE FOR ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT I WILL SELL THIS ONE FOR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME AT 715-281-9340 OR E-MAIL. AN INSPECTION IS WELCOMED. I AM SURE I HAVE LEFT SOME THINGS OUT THAT I DID BUT THIS IS MOST OF IT. TRANSPORTATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER BUT CAN HELP WITH LOGISTICS. I MUST HAVE A 25% DEPOSIT IN 3 DAYS POST AUCTION AND THE BALANCE IN 7 DAYS POST AUCTION. THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS.
