Galaxie
A predecessor to the musclecar era, the Galaxie was Ford's fullsize competitor. Introduced in 1959 and running through the musclecar era until 1972, the Galaxie and its' various submodels produced many powerful machines. |

My first real project. It is a 99% original with 1965 California plates still on car. Powered by 390 4v. Cruise O Matic linked to a 9" with 3.00 open gears. Plans are to give the resto-mod performance, without changing the outside/inside character. Disc brakes courtesy of 78 Mercury Cougar. Weight will be steadily taken off with fiberglass and aluminum anywhere it will go. Love that big car look and feel, not the weight. Whatever weight that just can't go, will be taken to the rear wheels if possible. |

1967 Galaxie 500
|
 |
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, some love it, some hate it all I know is it is fun. |

Nice original car imported from California. Only upgrade was a Pertronix II electronic ignition and a tune up. Runs smooth and accelerates quick enough.. |
