Anyone watch a recent American Pickers show where they not only located one of these in a barn but also a Talladega and did not even show much interest after the guy said they were not for sale. The &quot;R&quot; code Galaxy looked very in tact especially under the hood.

Broadway motors/ Have you heard of this dealership??

Re: 1966 Ford Galaxie {R code} 427 Dual Quad survivor
 

According to 427 Galaxie registry, 237 R codes were produced in 66. How about part numbers and documentation?

Knowing Don's eye, I'm sure its all fine. I think buyers might be more assured if they know a date coded side oiler block, correct C5 medium riser heads, dual 4 intake, and original carbs and distributor are present and accounted for. The concern is that date coded '66 427 Medium Riser parts tend to be worth more to Cobra or R-code Fairlane restorers than to the owners of Galaxies, no matter how rare. Its a lot like all of the 428CJ Torinos and Cyclones that got stripped of their good parts in order to restore 428CJ Shelbys and Mach 1's.

Thanks Tom. I guess my question is not out of line. You stated what I already knew. This is a very cool piece of history, but every component must be verified and that is all I was asking.

Re: 1966 Ford Galaxie {R code} 427 Dual Quad survivor
 

That may be done Rob if a serious buyer comes knocking on Don's door. That would be alot of posting to alacarte everything on this Site. But that is JMO.
