This car spent most of it’s existence in New Mexico and Arizona and is being sold on a Arizona title. The paint is very nice with a mirror like reflection with a small imperfections from being driven. All of the chrome , trim glass, and bright work is very nice. The body is straight and the fit & finish is superb. The interior appears to be original and shows fantastic with only a few small imperfections. This “R” code is being offered at a fraction of the cost to restore one to this level.

Bidding is about half what these R code Galaxies are worth and this is a really nice one, shame I’m so poor.
Does this car have any power options ? Steering, brakes? Was the motor and transmission rebuilt when the car was restored? How long ago was the restoration?
from the selleR:
No power, brakes or power steering from the factory.
The car was supposedly completely rebuilt as far as drivetrain, electrical, but I do not have any paperwork.
The restoration was supposedly done about 10 years ago
