Up for sale is a California Original Survivor, Matching Numbers 1966 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Wagon with around 300+HP and over 400 ft-lb of Torque from the factory. It originally came with 405 ft-lb of Torque and 275HP from the factory without its Optional Performance S-Code Manifold option that it has, in addition it has been upgraded to True Dual Exhaust, an Spectre (outflows K&N) 14 Inch Open Air Intake System, Accel High Performance Super Stock 8mm High Temperature, Radio Suppression Wiring, and so on. Moreover, most cars of the 1960’s Horsepower & Torque were underrated from the factory for sales/insurance purposes. The “Country Sedan” is a Galaxie that is a Wagon, also known as just the Galaxie Wagon. In fact if you look carefully you can see various Galaxie emblems/symbols on some of these. When purchasing parts, the parts may be listed under Galaxie.

While it is a surviving matching numbers car it does have some modern updates to enhance your driving experiences and features/looks that some restomods would have. Runs, drives, and cruises well. Was driven mostly highway 60 mile trip when vehicle was purchased and achieved over 17mpg before some of the performance upgrades and tune, so if you’re easy on the gas you should be able to achieve more. Traffic & road type/conditions varied (some LA stop & go & mountain passes included), light on the accelerator. It’s a pleasure to cruise and it gets up and goes. With the 6.4L 390 and over 400 ft-lb of Torque from the factory, it has plenty of Muscle it easily/quickly passes other cars up on the street and interstates.

Plenty of room and power to haul people, tools, and equipment. You’ll get plenty of compliments around town, and at car meets / cruise nights. Would not hesitate to drive it a long distance.
