Lot 4959-PHX: 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL

Based on our market data, a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 XL is currently worth approximately $25,000–$32,000 for a nice driver-quality example.

Here’s how we got that:

For the 1965–1968 Ford Galaxie 3rd Generation (which includes your ‘66), the market shows an average sale price of ~$25,700 across 126 sales. However, for the 500 XL trim specifically, current dealer listings are asking $29,995–$32,995, and recent sales of comparable cars have traded anywhere from $11,000 (for projects or rougher examples at auction) to $29,500 (for well-sorted drivers).

This specific car—a modified coupe with the desirable 390 V8 and automatic transmission—is listed at $28,995, which is right in the sweet spot for a turnkey classic with that big-block power. It’s actually slightly below what similar 500 XL models are currently asking at dealers.

Factors working in its favor:

• The 390 cubic inch V8 (Z-code) is the desirable engine
• Automatic transmission adds to drivability
• Turnkey condition with power steering, brakes, and working heat
