    I'll post the three pictures with the other rare and interesting wagons I've found. It's for sale in Catania, Southern Italy, by the way, on Italian Ebay.

    I found it at www.ebay.it
    Item number 170002948774

    I have emailed the owner/advertiser to get additional information. The Galaxie is an automatic, by the way.

    Answer and translation from Italy

    Mi spiace di non aver risposto tempestivamente alle sue domande ma in
    questi giorni sono stato preso dal lavoro. Torniamo alla macchina, noto
    che è un intenditore ( anche io collezziono auto e moto d'epoca
    americane ). Questa galaxy ha una carrozzeria italiana ed è stata fatta dai
    fratelli Mazzo di Verona ( importanti qui in italia ) attualmente ho
    montato un motore 3000 CAPRI V6 automatico, ho anche il suo originale 3500
    6 cilindri L . Non è dotata di aria condizionata, rimango a vostra
    completa disposizione per ulteriori chiarimenti!
    PS: il suo italiano si capisce benissimo se scrivo io in inglese non
    capirebbe davvero nulla non ho una buona grammatica ! :)

    Sorry that I did not answer quickly to your questions but work has kept me very busy. Now, back to the vehicle. This Galaxie ahs an Italian body by the Mazzo Brothers of Verona (Important coachbuilders here in Italy). I have actually mounted a 3000 Capri V6 with automatic but I also have the original 3500CC Ford six engine. The vehicle does not have air conditioning.

    I remain at your disposal for any further questions to clarify the car.
    PS (He goes on to say) Your Italian is understood very well.If I wrote in English, my grammar is so bad that it's doubtful you could understand me.

    It seems, there's either a misunderstanding here or he, for some reason, did really pull the original engine and substituted it for one from a later model European Ford.
    Does anyone know where this wagon is? I'm not that far from Italy, if anyone's still interested in getting it
