Equipment
R-Code 427/425hp, 4-speed, 4.11 Traction-Lok differential, Kelsey Hayes wheels, bench seat, floor shift.
Condition
Good paint and body. The stainless around the roof has a few marks. The engine compartment is very good and shows little use. The exhaust is new past the cut outs. The interior has many original appearing components but the seats have been redone. A desirably optioned car that presents well, but the R-Code engine is not represented as original.
Market commentary
If the engine was the one it got on the assembly line this could be a six-figure car, but it's not and the $72,000 it hammered not sold at during Mecum Portland last year seems like a missed opportunity. The price here is, however, cheap for a real R-Code Galaxie 400 4-speed even with the replacement engine. The new owner should be gloating over this deal all the way home, and every time it is driven.
