Hey everyone, im back. I had sold my 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 to a great couple but was missing having a classic. Ive always been into the 67's so luck would have it that i just recently found one a few hours away from me.

Just brought this home this past weekend!

Super clean car, Tom, Has it always been a Florida car?

The previous owner had owned it for 22 years and he bought it from a woman in Florida. I am not sure of the history prior to that. I have to look at any paperwork i have.

Was repainted about 15 uears ago, looks good but of course has some chips and scratches. Im told the interior is all original.

Engine and trans were rebuilt several years ago.

Very nice, I like it a lot. I'm glad when they repainted it they left the front gravel shield silver as it should be. Most shops paint it to match the body which isn't correct and doesn't look good IMHO.

My '66.

I've been a Mustang guy for years. Since I picked up the '500 this summer the Mustang is just gathering dust!

Really nice ride. Looks to be in great shape!

Thanks, yeah, it is in great shape. It was recently restored over an 18 month period by a guy named Howard Smith who has a YouTube channel called "Old Car Alley". I had watched the 200+/- videos he made of the restoration process over the year and a half time period never imagining I'd own the car.

Well, in one of the last videos he made about the car he mentioned he might sell it. I reached out and well, the rest is history! It sure is nice to have all those restoration videos of the process for future reference.

I've restored a couple of old Mustangs and also a '68 F250 High Boy. It was actually quite nice to acquire a car that didn't need any work and I could just enjoy diving it.

I wasn't in the market for another Galaxie but I scooped this one up for a deal. Brake issues, and electrical issue but I love it.

ShotRod64 · 2022-12-02T00:53:08-0500

Love it, I would of had a hard time passing it up also.

Never thought I would own one, but here it is.

This is my 64' Galaxie 500, Z code 390, Black/Red (Top Pic). Just picked this up at the end on last year...Transmission issues have plagued me since...(Bottom Pic) is my Black/Black 64' Galaxie 500, 390 (originally a X code 352) hit a deer almost 1 year ago, went with an insurance claim and have been led on for months by 3 different shops, currently working with one...fingers crossed!

@S1b That thing looks sinister! I can picture it pulling up in front of NYC deli and 6 mobsters getting out, lol

Here is my '65 convertible...a one-owner car out of Mississippi! Her 289 is getting a bit tired, so a 390 build is now underway

Figured I'd do a Before & after comparo due to some updates over the last few years...

BEFORE: (when she first got to her new home)

AFTER (as she sits right now):
