I had a 1963 Galaxie with the 406 and a 4 speed for about 6 months before trading it in for a 1964 Galaxie 500XL with the 427 dual 4 and four speed. I believe they only used the 406 in the Galaxies for 1962 and 1963. There was also a single 4 barrel version. But check the cars vin and be sure that is really the tri power 406 as some changed 390 to the tri power and then put 406 emblems on the car. If everything is as stated, it should be worth a good amount because of the few sold and the even fewer survivors. I got back what I paid for mine and that was way back in 64. I have been looking for the past 7 years for a 1964 Galaxie 500XL like mine that had all of the options and have only found two that were factory and in good shape, they had been restored and the Cheapest wanted $80K. Not bad for a car that I gave $4,600 for. The 64 is one of two cars that I really wish I had kept.
I went to Hemmings Motor News and looked at the 1962 Galaxie 500 XLs they have listed, just a few, and they have either been restored or have dual 4 barrels on them. Also all had 4 speeds and the price range was pretty wide. Maybe you could go look and see which one may come the closest to what you are looking at and get an idea. Also remember the 3/2 was the preferred option as was the 4 speed, but the fact that the one you are looking at is completely original and unrestored will make up a lot of the difference. The restored ones are for the most part better than they came from the factory. I also saw a 1964 Galaxie 500XL with the dual 4/427 and 4 speed that was close to mine and they want $89,500 for it.And it has been restored but all humbers match per the add.
