Almost looks like this version of the Galaxy 500 is the predecessor of the LTD. My grandfather had the early 60's or late 50's version which I remember vividly like it was yesterday.
Hey there, I just came across this vlog and then your channel naturally too. Sorry 'bout that frame... whewweee!!! Looking like 'metal sculpture yard art' is its future...
4-drs are not to everyone's taste, but they do make ideal wedding cars, particularly of that era & before. They also would be ideal for TV & movie companies for something set when this car was new. So anyone who doesn't think much to 4-drs, especially of said period think again! They more than have their uses today.
Pull up on gear selector lever with your left hand turn key with your right hand, a ford issue . I owne several 1969 fords , LTD, Galaxie XL GT , Country Squire, all the same. Nice Galaxie make grand pa proud boy !
About 10 years back, I built a 410 Super Marauder with a couple twists. The block was a '73 FTE, crank was a '68 428 crank, and the heads were '64 very large valve & port editions I bought from an old school Ford fanatic who was known via a mutual friend. Keith Black pistons, Speed-Pro rings, Edelbrock intake & 750 carb, Comp Cam, & FlowTech headers I had TBC via my cousin...it was a torque machine. Biggest thing I was told to do is to use a Cobra-Jet spec oil filter adapter. It has larger internal passage/orifice sizes. All of it was done for less than $4500 "All-in." Pulled a lot of strings & favors, have a lot of "Car connections." It was & is such a great engine- if you see a '71 F250 in the Pacific Northwest that is a metallic brown under white, has a very good lope to it and an older man driving it...that thing is a bit more quick than you'd think
matt garage … you gotta put your tranny into “N” in order to get your 390 started..: i have good experience of owning one like that acrually its a 69 galaxie with 390 and you always start the engine at N and once its started you can put it back to P
Fun to watch this car. My parents had one of these when I was young. It was a great car for many years, until the frame broke. If I was you, I'd find one of these, with a good frame, and fix it up. Just my advice.@@mattsgarage6670

Anyone who has reached his age without having learned the benefits of engine starting spray is automatically subject to strong suspicion.
Im in the same situation here whit a 67
