Love those old Galaxies. My first car was a 63 1/2 Galaxie. That wash job made a big improvement. Love Ralphie's enthusiasm. He seems willing to jump in and help out on these projects. I can tell he's a good boy and is being raised right.
Get the grocery getter wagon running for the wife and you can a Galaxy daily driver each. That 2 door will be a great one for you once the few issues are sorted. I would just hand stich those torn parts of the seats back up and you're good to go.Thanks for the videos. Love them.
Thank you for saving this car and making this series. My first car was a 64 custom 500, cheap version of the Galaxy, but this has brought back so many memories of owning and daily driving mine. Love the patina!
Y'all make fixin' cars look fun. Somethin about y'alls wholesome attitude and good nature make me forget how much I hate fixin cars and I find myself wishin I could be there with y'all.
I am a super fan of the 63 and 64 Galaxie's. So happy you saved her and showing her progress. I can picture what she could look like. Love its stance and its patina. Fix some more minor things and she will be an awesome beast. Cannot wait to seenmore. Thanks for sharing!!!
My grandad bought a 62 galaxie 500 with the 390 thunderbird big block and auto. Same color as your galaxie. When he died he gave it to my moms brother. They’ve let it sit for years atleast 15. I’ve tried to get it from em and get it back driving. It only needs a gas tank. But they won’t let me get it. Glad I could hear yours run, it reminded me of how good it sounds when it is running.
@@Sleeperdude sounds good I know that. I’m hoping one day they’ll let me get it before it rots. It don’t have any rust holes yet. The worst spot is around the windshield. The gas tank rotted out of it. But right before it sat the motor and trans got rebuilt. I bet they don’t have 15 miles on both. Just been sitting.
Congrats on the 40k subscribers!! You deserve much more. We LOVE your videos and still want Rocky. Lol. Never thought I’d watch someone clean a car but was very satisfying. 💜
It's like uncovering the goose that laid a golden egg, love the content sleeperdude, Rocky def always makes me laugh, and I love how tight knit your family is
Makes me remember, in 1964 when I got my license my dad had just bought a red Galaxy 500 two-door hardtop with a white vinyl top and a black vinyl interior, But he only chose the little 289.
I can picture original gold paint, Black vinyl top, XL interior with console and bucket seats, original looking 15" wheels painted Wimbleton White and period correct tires. Hope you Keep this one and 64 wagon as well.
Seems like no matter where we are, the wife is always right 😆😆 Amazing what a bit of elbow grease mixed with soap and water can do. Great job and I love the 🐐 👍🏼
Great job cleaning up the Galaxie 500 guys. She dropped a ton of weight losing all the mold and dirt. Looking real good. Keep up the good work on her. Big Al.
Place a dehumidifier inside the car, close all the windows see how much moisture accumulates in the dehumidifier collection tank? Do this for a few days...
In the early 80s I bought a galaxy 500 had a small V8 and 3 speed manual bark metallic blue with black diamond interior. I put five spokes and f series casings and a generator and clutch bought for $125 . Totaled two years later by running into a trailer with no lights doing 35 in the left lane on a four lane freeway
pick your favorite car...do aaaawl the bodywork....I think we all would love to see your 20 years. of skill as a body tech....nice car and video...thanks!
Looking like a serious bad boy with the car, hair and black T shirt - only thing missing is the cigarettes rolled up in the shirt sleeve. Like the old B&W movies of the '50's and early '60's. For real, I'm not being facetious.
Quite surprising it's still got all the chrome trim on it. Love the look and style but a hell of a lot of rust work to bring it back. I'm glad it's your call what to do with it. 👍👍😎
Good video man. Poor Rocky getting scared in the galaxy! But funny though. That was a good clean-up job. Ralphie did a good job on the cleaning up. He did a good job of riding the goat like that. That was funny too. He is exactly like my son very funny and active with the crazy things they do. That was a cool burnout you did again. Good video buddy thank you for sharing.
Washing that old 64 Galaxie 500 definitely made it look better and all that chrome was in nice shape under the mud that's been covering it for 30 years. Looks like little by little you are getting it fixed up pretty good for what it is anyway. Thanks for sharing your videos they are all great.
Keep going on the 1964 wagon and two door Galaxies. My second car was a 4 door sedan 1964 Galaxie 500 Baby Blue. I bought it in Glen Burnie, CA, IN 1971, while in the US Army, for $800.
the foil worked great on the chrome ..great family effort ..Rocky and others awesome ..your videos make my day..that car can be brought back as lots of Ford parts around..
love the car and have one of my own! in rough condition but doesnt have those “factory drains” lol! keep up the good work on this restoration and cant wait to see what it looks like when its all fixed up!!
Maybe, but it should go back to gold. Red '64 Gals are common as muck but the gold is much rarer (and prettier). The fact that I HATE red has nothing to do with it 😁
1964 was a good body style year for all the automobile manufacturers. They were the classic NASCAR stockers. Someone reccomend a NASCAR restoration. That would be awesome.
This is great 👍🏻 !! I’m really liking the 64 Galaxie 500, it seems to have a good running engine, and I can’t believe that the transmission is still working. LOL 😂. Great stuff!! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for it.
If you get your cap wet after washing or condensation inside cap after driving on cool nights. Towel the inside of cap out, spray the outside of cap and wires with WD. This will help it crank up and at night you can see the spark travel.
You can pull a plug and with the huge plug hole makes it easy to measure the stroke with a length of solid 12 gauge wire and carefully run the piston up and down in its stroke and mark at bottom dead center with a sharpie run the piston to its tdc and mark the wire with the sharpie and roughly get a measurement of the stroke and it will tell you if it’s a 390 or a 352. I’ve done that many times.
Great vid!! Looks like they didn't even primer between paint jobs. I love what you are doing with those old cars! I don't think that this car is a good patina car though. Definitely deserves a good paint job. A good paint job will make that car worth serious money.
That car in gold with a black interior must have been a beauty when it was new. I'd use SOS pads instead of foil - I think it's dulling the gleaming finish.
In the 80s my dad bought a 1964 Ford custom & 1964 Ford galaxy 500 XL to restore but had to sell them because we're we moved we didn't have room to store them
My neighbor growing up had a 1969 Galaxie 500,390 4 bbl dual exhaust (factory) he replaced the exhaust w newer pipes but there was no rust on it,he kept it in the garage,was over at his place and the exhaust gasket blew and he took a hacksaw blade and broke it in half (it went only in the driver's side front header) and after it warmed up the exhaust leak stopped but it only leaked when it was cold,he's probably passed on by now but that car was mint

Hey, SleeperDude and Sleeperfamily. There must have been thousands of Galaxies made over the years. Many people have great memories of these cars. Six cylinders to 427 V-8's. It could be a grocery getter or a winner at Nascar tracks. Ford made some great cars and trucks over the years. My friends Father had a 65 or 66 with a 352. Which I thought was strange 🤔. Because I was ten in 1970. All I knew was a 351 Windsor or Cleveland. I don't know how great a engine the 352 was. But I don't think it was a FE engine. Maybe I am wrong. It could have been a Edsel motor design. It's just a strange engine to me. Like the small V-8's like the 221 and 260. It's awesome to hear from other RUclips Channel watchers about there experiences with the Galaxies. I love the 2 door and the station wagon too. Ford Ford Ford's. Shawn
I want one so bad!! My Grand Father that retired from Ford gave me a 68 390 4 door, all black. He went to a nursing home, my parents had to sell my 68..
I would Love to see this Ford Galaxie restored to its orginal color and trim that bronze or gold color is so much more classy then the red color that car has a potential to really be a great looking car I wish to see it fully restored like brand new like the day it rolled out of the factory . I Love your channel and what you find.
Well, I'm glad to have a job too be working. Because everything costs money and also my automotive hobby. Just enjoying my Ford Thunderbird I've built. Still saving up for the next project. But it Takes Time.
"can you tell that's what I do...auto body". wow. only body guy I have ever seen with a huge country ranch looking property. must be a good body shop lol.
It's good to see a family unit working together on a project like this, right down to the family pets.
Thank you we try to spend as much time together as possible
One of the best ever made. The grill the tailights and bumper fitment. The trim, the interior, the motor,
Classic perfection!!!
Love those old Galaxies. My first car was a 63 1/2 Galaxie. That wash job made a big improvement. Love Ralphie's enthusiasm. He seems willing to jump in and help out on these projects. I can tell he's a good boy and is being raised right.
He is a great boy I couldn’t ask for a better one
As the saying goes..."y'all can't deny each other"...he's a chip off the block for sure!

That ghost galaxie is so beautiful .born same year like me🙂
Thank you
Love the car and content on your channel ralphie is a beast on cleaning stuff up and the family involvement is awesome.
Thank you we do everything together
Yes, I definitely remember back in the 60s 70s seeing these cars in the gold color. I bet she feels alot better after this bath!! Good job.
That’s cool thank you

Thank you

Thank you so much we appreciate you guys watching
hi.aim watching here these old videos from oldest to new,again .great videos to watch.
It's like uncovering the goose that laid a golden egg, love the content sleeperdude, Rocky def always makes me laugh, and I love how tight knit your family is
Thank you I appreciate you watching . Rocky is hilarious
she has cleaned up pretty dam good she is comming on well
Yes she is
Wow, that made a huge difference! She's actually a pretty solid old girl overall!
Yeah not bad at all
Makes me remember, in 1964 when I got my license my dad had just bought a red Galaxy 500 two-door hardtop with a white vinyl top and a black vinyl interior, But he only chose the little 289.
That’s awesome
No doubt such a beauty deserves full restoration to relive its glory. Keep safe!
Thank you
One of the cool things about older cards is how close you're sitting to the bottom of the windshield. It's rightthereinfrontofyou - and easy to clean.
Yep
I can picture original gold paint, Black vinyl top, XL interior with console and bucket seats, original looking 15" wheels painted Wimbleton White and period correct tires. Hope you Keep this one and 64 wagon as well.
That would look great
The Galaxy looked like it was smiling after y'all gotter cleaned up. 😃
That’s funny yeah it definitely needed it
Nice work SD & family! There's something pretty satisfying about watching that pressure washer work it's magic.
Thank you
It's a going to town rig after that wash love these old cars so cool
For sure thank you
Great watching YOU and the Family and Animals bring these cars back to life …. memories of my days gone past 👏
Thank you
This car looked awesome in gold. Red is a good color also. But I have seen this car in gloss black. that was Hot!
I bet the black looks pretty sharp
Seems like no matter where we are, the wife is always right 😆😆 Amazing what a bit of elbow grease mixed with soap and water can do. Great job and I love the 🐐 👍🏼
Thank you
Great job cleaning up the Galaxie 500 guys. She dropped a ton of weight losing all the mold and dirt. Looking real good. Keep up the good work on her. Big Al.
Thank you
Rocky is the goat version of Mikey who eats anything from that famous cereal commercial of day’s gone by. Let’s get Rocky. He’ll eat anything. 😂🤣
Yes that’s true
I like how you dont restore, you resurrect, keeping it as original as possible. Love these videos!
Thank you
The way you clean a car,, just epic on its own 🤛🏽😂. Greetings from Amsterdam holland
Thank you
Place a dehumidifier inside the car, close all the windows see how much moisture accumulates in the dehumidifier collection tank? Do this for a few days...

Hello. Watching from Nigeria, West Africa. I have watched many of your videos now. Nice job. My regards to the whole family.
Awesome thanks for watching
So many power washing videos now to choose from. Still enjoying them but mostly enjoy not having cold wet boots! Looks good.
That’s funny thanks
Que lindo proyecto Y lo que más me gusta es que toda tu familia te acompaña Y Rocky es infaltable Saludos desde Argentina
Great video guys that thing came clean quite good I thought and looked alot better then bumpers looked great 👍💖 well done keep up the good work guys 👍

God bless you all Daniel Edward Spivey
Your family is a blessing
This looks good cleaned up!
Cheers to Ralphie for getting the roof washed! You worked thru it!!
Thank you
Good video man. Poor Rocky getting scared in the galaxy! But funny though. That was a good clean-up job. Ralphie did a good job on the cleaning up. He did a good job of riding the goat like that.

That was the most satisfying car wash I’ve ever watched! 👍
I’m glad you enjoyed it we have a few more on older videos check them out
👋 from Australia. Enjoying watching this beauty come back to life 😃
Glad your enjoying it. Working on the next video now
@@Sleeperdude awesome! Can't wait
A repaint to gold would be classy as heck! Watching you deal with Rocky, as cute as he is, confirms that I will never have a goat...
He’s can be a lot for sure
my Grandpa bought a 1964 Galaxie 500 xl new and still talks about that car.
That’s great
My first car was a 67 Ford Fairlane. It was a beast.
the foil worked great on the chrome ..great family effort ..Rocky and others awesome ..your videos make my day..that car can be brought back as lots of Ford parts around..
Thank you
I had a 64 500 xl when I was 18 my first car with bucket seats and center console. How I miss my old car!! Same colors too 😔
That’s cool sounds fun
It looks alot better now. Gotta love the old full size cars.
Thanks
love the car and have one of my own! in rough condition but doesnt have those “factory drains” lol! keep up the good work on this restoration and cant wait to see what it looks like when its all fixed up!!
That’s cool thanks
Great find. Whomever did that repaint surely did a great job.
Maybe, but it should go back to gold. Red '64 Gals are common as muck but the gold is much rarer (and prettier). The fact that I HATE red has nothing to do with it 😁
Hoping you bring her all the back, shes a keeper.
I plan to
This is a awesome project love 60’s and 70’s Fords. Looking forward to seeing the next video on the Galaxy.
Thank you for watching
1964 was a good body style year for all the automobile manufacturers. They were the classic NASCAR stockers. Someone reccomend a NASCAR restoration. That would be awesome.
Sounds good to me
I really like the cars of the sixties

Thank you
THIS IS NOT AN ABANDONED CAR--------you could corner the market on these bumper stickers. Love the videos. Keep going!!
Thank you
The body still in a great shape. It looks great for restoring it to an original condition but with some improvements in engine and transmission
Yep
Looking a whole lot better. Well deserved smokey to complete the day
I’m glad you liked it
Yes another Sleeperdude video! I Enjoy your content!
Thank you I appreciate you watching
It’s Getting Better and Better
Thank you
@@Sleeperdude Anytime Gotta get to Work on my Galaxy too💯
This is great 👍🏻 !! I’m really liking the 64 Galaxie 500, it seems to have a good running engine, and I can’t believe that the transmission is still working. LOL 😂. Great stuff!! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for it.

She's a beauty! Good job!

That’s true thank you
I grew up on a car identical to this love. This car it'll burn the wheel right off of it
You can pull a plug and with the huge plug hole makes it easy to measure the stroke with a length of solid 12 gauge wire and carefully run the piston up and down in its stroke and mark at bottom dead center with a sharpie run the piston to its tdc and mark the wire with the sharpie and roughly get a measurement of the stroke and it will tell you if it’s a 390 or a 352. I’ve done that many times.
Good idea thanks
Too bad that car is so far gone, a Sleeperdude restoration series would be great to watch...hint, hint ;)
I plan on doing something like that with the falcon
It would be cool to see the car gold again
Yes it would
Love those old fords!
They are cool
Looking good,🤙🏻. Man that galaxy is such a boat, but I love it. Can't wait to see more on it 💥
Thank you
Great vid!! Looks like they didn't even primer between paint jobs. I love what you are doing with those old cars! I don't think that this car is a good patina car though. Definitely deserves a good paint job. A good paint job will make that car worth serious money.
Thank you that would look nice
That car in gold with a black interior must have been a beauty when it was new.
I'd use SOS pads instead of foil - I think it's dulling the gleaming finish.
Yep
Agreed the 0000 pads
That factory gold color is stunning!
I agree
@@Sleeperdude Its like the surprise of removing the thin coat of primer off my 60 Plymouth Fury to reveal Turquios and Aqua
ABSOLUTELY-----> OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!. 🙂
Grande trabalho! Parabéns pelo resgate. Assisto todos os vídeos aqui do Brasil. Abraços
390 is my favorite motors
Good engines
man thats actually a pretty damn solid base
Yep
In the 80s my dad bought a 1964 Ford custom & 1964 Ford galaxy 500 XL to restore but had to sell them because we're we moved we didn't have room to store them
That’s sad
My neighbor growing up had a 1969 Galaxie 500,390 4 bbl dual exhaust (factory) he replaced the exhaust w newer pipes but there was no rust on it,he kept it in the garage,was over at his place and the exhaust gasket blew and he took a hacksaw blade and broke it in half (it went only in the driver's side front header) and after it warmed up the exhaust leak stopped but it only leaked when it was cold,he's probably passed on by now but that car was mint
That’s interesting
yah" if it was in my yard lookin like that. id do it the same way. and get it over wit. nicely done you two
Thank you we appreciate it
Put a krylon red and white vice grip garage sound effect tss tsss tssss paint job , Whitwall tires caseings, matching steel wheels paint gloss black add babymooons or chrome lug, couple noise making happeners underneath find a rear bumper, patch up the floor, lay down outdoor carpet.

Ok thank you
Something about watching someone was a old car,but u missed a spot ,u now have a 5000 dollar car all day long just the way it is great videos
Thank you
Hey, SleeperDude and Sleeperfamily. There must have been thousands of Galaxies made over the years. Many people have great memories of these cars. Six cylinders to 427 V-8's. It could be a grocery getter or a winner at Nascar tracks. Ford made some great cars and trucks over the years. My friends Father had a 65 or 66 with a 352. Which I thought was strange 🤔. Because I was ten in 1970. All I knew was a 351 Windsor or Cleveland. I don't know how great a engine the 352 was. But I don't think it was a FE engine. Maybe I am wrong. It could have been a Edsel motor design. It's just a strange engine to me. Like the small V-8's like the 221 and 260. It's awesome to hear from other RUclips Channel watchers about there experiences with the Galaxies. I love the 2 door and the station wagon too. Ford Ford Ford's. Shawn
352 is an FE--predecessor to the 390.
You need to do a full restore on this car. What a great hot rod!
Maybe one day thanks
Love that body style, that's worth putting floor and trunk pans in it. Would make a cool driver.😎✌
Thank you it’s gonna be super cool
best in show,pulled from the field/barn
Thank you
I want one so bad!! My Grand Father that retired from Ford gave me a 68 390 4 door, all black. He went to a nursing home, my parents had to sell my 68..
That’s sad
