Floating around one of our corporate forums is this 1966 Ford Galaxie that got plucked off eBay.
It has 7.0 liters of displacement, a manual transmission, and a drop-top. Supposedly not many Galaxies with this engine still exist, which explains the $88K bid price.
I didn't intend it this way, but apparently, the '60s have been big with UCOTD recently.

- Zerofoo BYD, a huge Chinese car company, admits that autonomous driving is impossible: https://insideevs.com/news/663811/byd-spokesperson-autonomous-driving-basically-impossible/
- Jagboi The Canadian Mark VI's had the "Electronic fuel injection" badge on the side, but had the Ford Variable Venturi carb. The Canadian brochure for these cars does not have the portion about EFI that the US brochures have. A bit of false advertising for sure.I've seen a number of these cars up to 1983 and none of the Canadian market cars had EFI. The US cars had a crank triggered ignition systenm, the Canadian cars had the Duraspark just like the carbed Ford and Mercury Panthers.

- Alan Many Ford designs that are manufactured in China are designed in Australia. Ford just fired hundreds of engineers. That only leaves engineers to keep on designing the Rangers, Bronco, etc.
- Alan Big Al,Seems the author has confused horsepower and kilowatts. Check out what the Aussie Ranger Raptor power output is.The VW Amarok is the 2.3 Eco Boost, I think its about what the author wrote.To be fair, the author may be quoting EU hp.

I was 14 and my sister was born in August of 66. I saw a number of 66 Fords but mostly 4 doors with white and light blue being the predominate color. No one in my family had a Ford at that time mostly GMs and mostly Chevrolets. My middle brother had a new maroon 66 Cutlass with black vinyl top and black bucket seats with spinners that was a real looker and which I wouldn't mind having today. Always liked the Galaxies and LTDs especially from the early to latter 60s just beautiful cars.
Billy Mitchell's 60 s designs are the best. Colors too. I have a DEADWeight level of dislike of GM products. But, I think GM has the best paint jobs ( except mazda soul red.) GM metal flake paints are the best. Color. size of flakes. Amount of flakes. Super good. Unsurpassed.
