Traded the Comet for a Galaxie

Speedfiend

Coast to Coast
We loved this little car. had some great times with it and sunk more than a few bucks in it but theres no way to put three kids seats in the back. We'd just decided to sell it, so i was on my way back from the hardware store with the For Sale sign, and i spotted this beut! We traded stait up title for title. It was a bone stock survivor car. One owner for over fidy years, garage kept and a glove box full of regi cards and oil chande recipts, as well as the origanal dealer order form from Greer Ford. So of course i got it home and lowered it! Ha! I've got more plans for it that'd break a resto guys heart. What can I say, I likes what I likes.

My first attempt at a restoration was a 64' 500 Sedan. I rebuilt the 352 with my dad and left for the mlilitary shortley after.
 
Mines still got the original 292 Y-block. I'm deffintly not a sentimental type, but I'll probably rebuild the old motor (when it comes time) instead of dropping a 302 in it, like I did with the Comet.
 
Love it man. Nice grab for sure. Ive been looki for a nice Falcon sedan for awhile now myself.
 
man what a steal!

i would be careful about going to overboard with the mods... that thing is worth some money in that condition!
 
Great trade! The Galaxie is the best car I've ever been in. Smoothest ride. The rear gas shocks are great. Thing sails through the countryside. My dad had two '64 Galaxies. I want one of my own. Def, want a 4 door grocery getter. Here is my dad's Galaxie. Everything is 1964 correct: whip antenna, hubcaps, gumball light, siren, police radio. Recognize it? It's his baby. He doesn't even let me drive it!

^^^ Nice car. Wait, that was your dad.................................Opee?!?!

Actually, I'm a huge fan. Infact I've based my religon on the show. I'm an Andyist. I figure a guy could get into any heaven any where if he just tried to live based on the teachings of Andy

Did you hear, ThelmaLou got mugged at a Walmart a few weeks ago. In Mt. Airy NC. The 'effin town Mayberry was based on. Shitty world sometimes.

You're right about the smooth ride. We took the whole famly on a 300 mile cruise last weekend to a rod show in east TN then we took the kids to the aquirum in Gatlinburg. Didn't feel a bump the whole way. Its like driving a couch!
 
I love the 64' More door only second to the 61' two door, I plan to have one in the future alas a house and other things must come first.

Maybe keep it simple with an EFI 302, black interior, midnight purple paint.

Blast... photobucket is blocked at work now... Il post some pics next week when Im home.

50's chevy cars
60's ford big cars
70's mopar trucks
early 70's mopar/ ford muscle

Chebys had always had the best interiors IMO.
