This is my 1967 Galaxie. It has a 289 with ported heads, headers .500 lift cam, headers and MSD ignition. Not a powerhouse but keeps things a little interesting. You might see me cruising around the Kansas City area. The most unique feature on the car has to be the interior, it is red and white tuck and roll, some love it, some hate it all I know is it is fun. |

1964 500 Fast back 390 car
|
|
|
I bought this while looking for a 9 in for my sons Cougar. It was a 390 car with auto and bench seat. I bought a burnt out interior fire 64 4 door and swapped the 352 4v engine out of it. Had 2 coils cut out of the front springs. I installed new ones removing one coil. Back has 3 inch drop and I am going to raise it 2 inches. I picked up factory buckets and rear seat out of a xl car and plan to recover them. I picked up a 460 off Ebay with all machine work done for 75 dollars!. Plan to built it for later installation. Plan on driving it this June with a budget of 3500. |

Car more or less “found” me and begged for rescue from the crusher. It was essentially disassembled and a frame-off restoration completed with overhaul of Cruise-O-Matic transmission, new interior, fuel tank, fuel line, brake lines, water pump, etc, etc. The car required significant sheet metal work to solve rust problems and painted dark toreador red. Trim was either refinished or replaced and bumpers rechromed. The original 352 was bored and stroked into a 390 with a mild cam and a few other modifications. |

Perrty much stock at present but the 390 will have a new cam, mainfold and carb betfore the summer.
I have replaced or rebuilt almost all the skin panels and radiator saddle over the years I have owned the car, about 23 years. Added disk brakes last year and best move so far.

Bought her early August 2010, came off the boat from LA in late 2009 and was a black plate car there, one owner. Not restored, just well kept. Totally stock apart from a respray in Rangoon Red (factory Raven Black car). 352, cruise-o-matic, 3.00 9" rear. And as you can see, she's already had her first professional photo shoot!
No reals plans for her - the wife says I can only spend money on her when it's required, so for the time being I'll just cruise around in her, enjoying the pointing, gesticulating and open mouths from other motorists. :) |
