Just wonder... What does the model badge on your car say? Ford uses Galaxy as a marque on non-US models.
I dont usual point out pay sites or clubs, but if I had one that I wanted to restore, I'd consider this site, sometimes you get what you pay for and it's well worth it:

The best resource I've found is
67,Im' going on memory here. I recently picked up a 66 XL. 390\auto. luckily it's originally from "not northern Ohio" so the frame is solid. Nice survivor car. Ugly teal green with a white painted top and white interior. The only shine left is on the chrome. No rust to speak of. Factory A\C and a dealer installed Lear\Muntz designed 4-Track tape player. 82K showing on the non-working odometer. The dual exhaust is pretty ragged, but that was a great bargaining point.(well, I can't hear the engine for the exhaust) It needs an idler arm, of course. $1000 and I drove it home from near Crossville, TN to near Cleveland. The closer I got to home, the more it roared as the exhaust deteriorated. (I wasn't worried. 38 psi of oil presure all the way, I conected a gauge at the motel and taped it to the windshield. Gave it a Jiffy Lube oil change and quick Auto Zone tune up also). Long story short, I had a truck and trailer on the way back from Florida. We took a detour to Crossville and I saw the car in someones front yard for sale. Funny what you find when you're not looking.

Well, the first question would be "Which Galaxie?"
If it is a 2dr HT with a big block, then restore away. If it is a 289 2bbl 4dr sedan.........
We see cars come in every day that are beautifully restored examples of VERY non-desirable models. The owners have spent 3-4 times what the car will ever be worth restoring it. They are appalled when we tell them we will give them 1500.00 for a car they just spent 10,000.00 restoring.
Just a thought.
