With a 429 V8 under the hood, dog dish hubcaps and a stark utilitarian look, this 1969 Ford Galaxy 500 Country Sedan station wagon certainly fits the category of a sleeper. Found at Hemmings for a very reasonable $5,950 price tag, the owner states that the car was only used for annual pheasant hunting trips to Eastern Washington with “Italian oldtimers” and a dog named Jack.
