Equipment
427/425hp R-code engine, floor shift 4-speed, VDO tachometer, hub caps, bench seat, dual quads, 4.11 rear end, tinted glass.
Condition
Represented as matching numbers. Good older paint and chrome. Small chip at the bottom of the driver's door. Good interior. Restored but lightly used underneath. Highly desirable by virtue of its engine and in good very condition with no major needs, but not a show car. One of 212 R-Code Galaxies built for 1964.
Market commentary
Hammered not sold at an $80,000 high bid at Mecum Indy in 2015, then no-saled at Auburn Fall at a $75,000 bid, then finally sold at Mecum Indy the next year for $57,200. A bargain when bought in 2016 then sold here for a spot-on price, making for a rewarding year and a half of ownership for the seller. It is a choice Ford.
