Anyone watch a recent American Pickers show where they not only located one of these in a barn but also a Talladega and did not even show much interest after the guy said they were not for sale. The "R" code Galaxy looked very in tact especially under the hood.

According to 427 Galaxie registry, 237 R codes were produced in 66. How about part numbers and documentation?

Knowing Don's eye, I'm sure its all fine. I think buyers might be more assured if they know a date coded side oiler block, correct C5 medium riser heads, dual 4 intake, and original carbs and distributor are present and accounted for. The concern is that date coded '66 427 Medium Riser parts tend to be worth more to Cobra or R-code Fairlane restorers than to the owners of Galaxies, no matter how rare. Its a lot like all of the 428CJ Torinos and Cyclones that got stripped of their good parts in order to restore 428CJ Shelbys and Mach 1's.

Thanks Tom. I guess my question is not out of line. You stated what I already knew. This is a very cool piece of history, but every component must be verified and that is all I was asking.

That may be done Rob if a serious buyer comes knocking on Don's door. That would be alot of posting to alacarte everything on this Site. But that is JMO.
