Take this 1966 Ford Galaxie R-Code, found over on eBay. With a 425 horsepower 427 V8 under the hood, it packed plenty of punch, if not the flair and style of other muscle cars. And most importantly, it is a true survivor, one of just a handful of these R-Code Galaxies ever built.
The Ford Galaxie is a true muscle car, and while it does enjoy a faithful following, it is not nearly as popular as say, the Ford Mustang. But the Galaxie could be built into a true sleeper by opting for the R-Code 427 V8 engine. There is nothing on the outside except a few small badges to hint at what is under the hood of this yellow-and-white Galaxie.
According to the seller, it is one of just 9 registered 427 Galaxies, and has just over 23,000 miles on the odometer. It is a truly immaculate car from front to back, looking almost as though it just drove off the showroom floor. Best of all, it’s a four-speed manual. Once the bidding came to an end, this Galaxie sold for just $58,000…a bargain for a 427 Ford survivor if you ask us.
