Hey Jay,
It's hell when the one doing the "off topic" stuff is the MODERATOR, isn't it?

There were a few 7 litres that had the 427 engine installed in the in 1966 so that's why I put up the picture. Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Dave, you are quite right on the 427s in the 7 litre model--which would have made for one stylish 427! However, there is elsewhere a 7 Litre organization, which by now most of us have seen. Switching out the picture would differentiate your site from the 7 Litre folks. Better yet, create a slide show of 427 logos and images from all the different models.

Thanks, that is a good idea. You guys are probably right about that 7 litre logo maybe I'll swap it out for a different one.

Was wondering if there were any other galaxie registry websites out there? - And - what makes a registry website popular - specific models? -
Would a "Galaxie Registry" website be interesting for anyone to use - any kind of galaxie?
Or - are these registry websites usually specific to some feature of the vehicle?
Just thinking outloud.

I heard you.
Registries are most often for particular years or features such as the 7 litre etc. There is a '66 galaxie registry also for all '66 galaxies and at one time a '64 registry was started and then a computer crash I guess lost all the info and many others are there I'm sure. I bet there's also a Pantera registry also.
It's kinda cool to check out a registry just to see how many other cars out there are like your own. As in '64 Ford didn't keep track of so many things like the 66 or other years. Such as how many had white interior or auto on the floor and that kind of thing. So a person can browse a registry and see how many there have the same traits as your own car. That's probably just one thing that makes a registry interesting.

Hey Copperhead,
That's a keen eye you have, I missed it. I've heard of a number of very humble 427 Galaxies over the years in which the great V8 was optioned as a tow vehicle for boats, etc. Yep, 480 foot-pounds will take good care of your Airstream camper.

Yes that is a very rare car. I only know of one other still in existance and reportly there were two other 427 wagons that were stripped and junked in the 70's.
Just one more suggestion.
What is the point of having a registry when only one person can access it?
Why not list the VIN or tag numbers on the website, but delete the vital informating such as the last few digits, and owners names and addresses?
That way, we can all see where these cars might have been built, and maybe what options they had.

I have an Australian Galaxie registry I've been working on for about 6 years. Small by US standards, 287 entries currently, lots waiting to be entered. It's far from complete, and not posted onto the web as yet (anyone who has a registry understands the work entailed in maintaining). Happy to share stats or info with anyone! Very happy to receive vehicle data!! Mindful of privacy though.

Very impressive Darren. I have my own registry for the 1965-66 Full Size R-codes like my own. It does require a great deal of dilligence to keep the information current and privacy is always a concern. Different owners have different views on that and it is best to respect them.

You should look again its all there. Vin's with the last three dropped off and all the data plate information. Thanks Dave
My apologies, you are right!
I have been looking at several registries over the last week, incl the 7 litre registry, and I saw that one of the websites listed them. When I made my comment yesterday, I couldn't figure out which one had the listings I saw, and couldn't find them.
So yes, this was in fact the registry I saw them on!
