2023 Market Review - Ford Galaxie 1961-1973
Mayors of medium-sized cities, politician and a lot of 1960s business executives would have had at their disposal a Ford Galaxie which were roomy, not too expensive and built in Australia. Following official use, they were sold, frequently repainted something other than the original black and some survive to this day.
Four-door Galaxies are cheaper than V8 Falcons of the same age, yet the big Ford will frequently have a 6.4-litre V8 and C6 automatic transmission, power steering and maybe air-conditioning.
Imported two-door Hardtops and convertibles are often 25-40 percent more expensive than local sedans unless they are equipped with scarce 406 or 427 cubic inch engines. Pre-1965 Hardtops kitted out with one of these can make $100,000.
