Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Represented as 36,829 miles, "correct R-code 427/425hp side oiler engine" and original transmission. Sound original interior but the steering wheel rim is worn more than indicated by the mileage. The engine has been out and painted and the top of the engine compartment freshened but the rest of it and the chassis are road grimy. Very good paint, chrome and glass. A mixed bag but one with potential.
Market commentary
The aged and somewhat dirty condition offsets much of the originality of this R-Code Galaxie 500 and the lack of a representation that the engine is original goes even further. The reported high bid here is realistic.
