Ok guys, I took the big plunge!
The deal is done,I pick it up in less than two weeks from Ohio.
Its a pristine Florida car that was a 500-XL model when new.It was converted to a "7 Litre" with all the factory pieces installed.
It has a completly redone powertrain and rear axle assembly in it too.
Its a 0.30 428 CID mill with mostley stock internals,it has some megabuck tube headers that are real $$$ because of the Galaxie and the 428 T-Bird engines exhaust bolt pattern.
It got a absolutly flawless dark green bucket console interior with all the factory correct 7 Litre trim pieces. Its also got the cool factory shifter too.
I think the guy said it had a 3.70 gear with traction lock,but he might have said 3.50?
The 4-speed was gone through 20,000 miles ago,he even had the shifter rebushed at the same time.
The guy Im buying it from is a total "perfectionist" he has every dime he has spent on the car with names and part numbers documented in a huge ring binder that goes with the car.
Its that light greenish gold color with a dark green interior.
There was so much about this car that was so much "out of the norm" that I had to buy it,I dont care that its not a real factory issued "7-liter" it has all the stuff I like on it so all it is missing is the 7-Liter vin #.
Its about 10 hours away,Ill be going in around two weeks to pick it up.
I have to plan this trip to include a stop at te Crites factory to pick up the new "Teardrop" hood for this car.
Ill also hang around a bit and grab some pictures of the Crites musclecar collection for this site.
Here is a picture of the new 66 Galaxie 428 4-speed 7 Litre.
I will be cruising this new Galaxie at Woodward 2002! See ya there!
