Priced pretty fairly at $7500 given the rarity...I'll be curious to see if it sells for this. Was purchased new in Albuquerque and looks to have spent most of its life there, judging by the Sandia National Labs parking permit and little rot.

That said, you're gonna need a parts car to get those rare interior pieces. This one definitely spent some time outside, unfortunately.

But how cool would this be once restored....

1 of 7 originally produced, and undoubtedly the only one left in existence. A 69 Galaxie was never my favorite car, but you would be the only one at any car show you ever went to. Kudos to the seller for taking so many detailed pictures of the car!

That shifter would be very hard to find if it were missing.

Always admired the unique dashboard on these cars.
Close to what it could look like when done.. http://classicvehicleslist.com/ford/77810-1969-ford-galaxie-500-convertible-429-v-8-california-car.html

When I was 10 years old my brothers friend Michael Kowalski had a 69 blue convertible with white buckets 429 4 speed. I was in the back seat while we were racing a 69 brown 429 SCJMach 1 on route 3 north. I’ll never forget we were side by side and the driver of the Mach 1 looked over at me gave me the peace sign wearing his black palm leather gloves and pulled away. Unfortunately Michael died in that car on November 11 1971 on the same road that we raced the Mach 1. RIP Michael.
