1962 Galaxie XL 406

In the August edition of Mustang & Fords, In the Readers Roundup, they talked about a one of one 1962 Galaxie XL with a G code 406. The car came set up with a three-deuce, T-10 4 speed, 9" 3:50 rear and special 1955-56 T-bird hubcaps.

Yesterday, I was at a local car show and saw a 1962 Galaxie XL convertible, T-10 4-speed, A/C, with the original motor - 390 (supposedly a three-deuce, now a 4 barrel).

My question is - could this have been a 406 car? I didn't inquire about the G code (I had to research this just now) and the owner seemed to not really know much about Fords. He said he was a Chevy guy who just happen upon this car that had been in a barn the last 15 years.

I did ask him about the hub caps but he didn't know.

The car was mostly original, sheetmetal, glass, A/C, interior. He had just painted the car. The engine had been pulled out, but not rebuilt and had a 4 barrel carb on it.

How rare is this car?
