1966 Ford Galaxie 428 LTD 2 door hardtop pillarless (very rare)

This is my Galaxie 428 Q code that I have owned for over 4 years, life seems to get in the way of driving it so I have decided to reluctantly sell.It is currently on an agreed value insurance for £25k.There are only 24 of these on the full-size Ford registry (worldwide) as far as I know it's the only one in the UK.The previous owner had it imported, but also had a 352, so decided to sell and I bought it from him.It is obviously road tax exempt and can be mot exempt but I have chosen to have them done every year for peace of mind.When it was produced most people bought the 7 litre edition, this customer spent nearly half again to get this engine in a car with this interior, hence there are not many around.Below is a description of the car when it was in the states, it covers pretty much everything,The Hood, Trunk, and Both Doors "Shut" with Ease... (No Slamming needed Here) The Power Brakes Stop it on a Dime, and Power Windows have had Motors Replaced with New Motors and They work without any help. THIS RARE Q CODE 428 LTD TRIM GALAXIE WAS ADDED TO THE GALAXIE REGISTRY AND IS THE 14TH 2 DR 428 LTD LISTED... HAGERTY PUTS THE 66 LTD 330-HP 390 INTERCEPTOR AT AVERAGE RETAIL OF $17,500.00(+)   ***  BUT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DATA FOR THE "VERY" FEW TRUE 428 HIGH PERFORMANCE (NON 7-LITRE BADGED) CARS BUILT  TO KNOW IT'S TRUE VALUE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LIMITED 1966 FASTBACK CARS... {AND OF COURSE THE 427 7-Litre CARS ARE UP TO ABOUT $75K... AND STILL "CLIMBING"...}  THIS IS A SUPER "RUST FREE" MUSCLE CAR THAT IS FRESHLY RESTORED. TUNING AND TESTING MILES ONLY... (LESS than Fifty Miles has been put on this Car since the Restoration) THE DATA TAG STATES THIS 2 DOOR FASTBACK LTD WAS BUILT IN CALIFORNIA AND CAME WITH THE 345 HIGH PERFORMANCE 428 ENGINE AND A HEAVY DUTY C-6 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION...THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH POWER STEERING, POWER "DISC BRAKES", FULL POWER WINDOWS, AND WHITE VINYL TOP... IN ESSENCE THIS IS A 7-LITER GALAXIE 500 WITH THE TOP OF THE LINE "LTD TRIM".  THIS CAR WAS BUILT IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, AND WAS IN THE PERFECT CLIMATE TO PRESERVE THE 1966 SHEET METAL. THIS STRONG MUSCLE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL FLOORS , TRUNK FLOORS, ETC.  IT  IS SO RUST FREE, THAT IT HAS THE RUBBER ROCKER PANEL DRAINS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED BY FORD.  INSIDE THE DOORS SHOW JUST HOW AMAZINGLY RUST FREE THAT IT ACTUALLY IS... * (Plus, the Underside is as Clean as the Top... and No Disappointments with the Professionally Installed Performance Exhaust... CRANK  it, SIT in it, HEAR the Rumble, FEEL the "POWER"...) ** * * THIS 428 ENGINE HAS THE LARGE (A) SCRIBED ON THE BACK OF THE CORRECT  REPLACED 1966 C6ME BLOCK AND ALSO "428" IS CAST INTO THE CENTER WATER JACKET. THE ENGINE WAS FULLY REBUILT WITH THE STANDARD BORE TAKEN TO .040 AND THE (1U) CRANKSHAFT TURNED TO .010 .010... THE HEADS ARE FULLY RECONDITIONED WITH "STAINLESS VALVES AND SEATS" FOR TODAY'S GAS... IT WAS THEN BROKE IN AND DYNO'D AND PRODUCED 535 FT LBS OF TORQUE AT 3300 RPMS AND 403 HP AT 4400 RPMS... THE C-6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS FULLY AND COMPLETELY REBUILT AT THIS TIME AND BOTH WERE CAREFULLY INSTALLED INTO THE DETAILED CAR. (The Car is Safely Stored in a "Locked and Insured" Climate-Controlled Garage.)  * * *  THE ORIGINAL CODE F (LIGHT BLUE) PAINT WAS REDONE IN FORD'S BEAUTIFUL 1966 "NIGHTMIST BLUE", AND THE VINYL TOP AND HEADLINER WERE REPLACED... ALL THE ORIGINAL CHROME IS FINE TO GOOD AND IT HAS THE ORIGINAL CHROME STEEL BUMPERS. THE INTERIOR SPORTS THE GALAXIE 500 XL FRONT BUCKETS THAT MATCH THE LTD'S ORIGINAL CLOTH AND A DELUXE AUTOMATIC SHIFT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE... THE CARPETS SHOW PRETTY WELL, AND BECAUSE EVERYBODY THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL THAT IT WAS STILL THE "ORIGINAL FACTORY-INSTALLED" CARPET, (AFTER CHECKING TO MAKE FOR  "SURE"  THAT ALL WAS "RUST-FREE" DOWN THERE... ), THE ORIGINAL 1966 FORD CARPET  WAS LEFT.  THE DRIVER SEAT IS A 6-WAY POWER...   ALL THE BRAKES,(POWER DISC on the Front...), SHOCKS, THE DRIVE SHAFT, HOSES, BULBS, SWITCHES, AND EVEN THE HEATER CORE WAS  REPLACED...  ALL THE RUBBER IS "BRAND NEW"...  THIS MONSTER 428 ENGINE NOW HAS A EDELBROCK ALUMINUM INTAKE,  A 750 HOLLEY CARBURETOR ,  HOOKER HEADERS AND MICKEY THOMPSON  VINTAGE VALVE COVERS...  ( NICE !!! )   FRESHLY RESTORED 15/8 TORQUE THRUSTS AND NEW 235-60 COOPER COBRA TIRES MAKES THIS CLASSIC STAND OUT "ANYWHERE"...! THIS MUSCLE CAR HAS A GREAT SOUND WITH 3" ALUMINIZED EXHAUST INTO TURBO MUFFLERS.Thanks for reading all that, any questions please contact me through messages or text on 07706617461.Edit. I seem to have got bogged down with the details, what I should say is this car has never let me down even on 100 mile charity drives. It always puts a smile on my face just starting it let alone driving it and it has been everything I wanted from it and then some, it is just awesome and makes people stop, look and smile wherever you go. I have had nothing but compliments from people about it, I will be sorry to see it go.
