Love the “ fastback” look, I think it’s amazing how simple the older cars were, but there’s no way I would give up electronic ignition, fuel injection, safe braking systems, airbags, etc. that is until I go to the drag strip. P.s. I have been working as a mechanic since 1982, so I have slowly come to appreciate all the technology that many people hate.
65 LTD 4 door with my first car my parents bought it in 76 it was 11 years old and that was my first car would love to have another one do you still have your
Cory, thanks for sharing thiis AWSOME car. My father in law passed last Thanksgiving he had a passion for old ford galaxies. With that said my wife and i ended up with his 1965 galaxie. its a 2 door ltd with a 390. Needs some work but its really a cool car like you said, I really like the way your father went with his. Gives me tons of ideas. do you know what the back spacing is on the rims?
O man I'm sorry to hear that. My dad sure loves this car. I'll ask him what the backspacing is on those wheels. Have you checked out the updated video after he got it painted?
@@CorysCarReview My son's 56 Nomad has been in the hot rod shop of 16 months, they are still not finished with it yet. Hopefully soon. Can't wait to drive it.
@jacobappelhans6983 I’ll double check on the backspacing, but I believe it’s factory. He put station wagon springs under the back to raise it up, and an adjustable torsion bar to pull the body over. It had been hit on the driver side at some point and the body wasn’t on straight
@@CorysCarReviewthanks for the quick response. Surprised there wasn't too many issues in the front. That backspacing number would be a huge help to get it right the first time👍
Cory’s thay f.... car is nice this people putting the car down with the small engine n the tinting window or some other stuff what a looser . I yet got a 68 xl fest back nice car n I GOT the 69 charger the one in the photo I LOVE ALL MAKE muscle American CARS... l think I AM GOING TO PUT THOSE wheels on 68 galaxie xl love those wheels the one in your car ...... ok brother good luck with your 👍 car
He's counting on someone that is inexperienced in cars to buy that heap. He won't restore it due to the expense. The cars needs to be stripped to repair it properly.
love those years of the galaxie
Wait until you see it painted. Looks awesome!
Perfect stance and I love the painted steelies
Thank you!
It looks Fantabulous!!!
Thank you!! I love this car, and it gets tons of attention!
I had one in the late 60's when I was 16! Mine was 390 4-speed. Wish I had it now.
O heck yeah. 4spd is always better 😉

Yes your absolutely right. I always find it fascinating how simple these era cars are, but modern era back then.
I'm with you on that
Nice, rockin' that stock car vibe with the side exits and the Fatty's at all four corners...
Thank you! Wait until you see it painted with the decals 😉
I like it just like it is.
I agree. I keep giving him a hard time because he doesn't drive it. I said heck I'd drive it all over until you get it painted
This car has a perfect stance!! On a personal note i would like to see some old stock numbers and letters on it.
Me too lol
Stock numbers and letters would look badass. Some old sponsor stickers would be tight too.
Check out the updated video we did on it. Looks sweet!

O yes definitely would make an awesome 1st car.
My first car, a worn out 1965 Galaxie 500, 390 2 door. Blue on Blue.
O man that's awesome! I bet you wish you had that back.
@@CorysCarReview sure do.

@@CorysCarReview I sure did.! I absoutely love it!!!! Tell your pop he did an amazing job !
I sure will! Thank you!
I would like to see more Ford & Mercury cars that are current... instead of ones that were in process or for sale 2 years or further back!
I can definitely make that happen 😉
that's one of those cars you go into the shed and just stare at it.
Yes sir!
It is in the paint shop as we speak
Lovely car
What size are those tires.
The car looks sick
Thank you. They are 275/60/15's
Drop a stroked FE block in it, add some Hotckiss suspension parts in it and fly to the next ... Galaxie.
Amen brother!!! He’s talked about a 427 crate motor, but I think it would be cool to buy a refurbished ford nascar engine
Put a 347 in it, but leave those valve covers as is and dirty it up so that it looks like it does now.
We really wanna go with a 427 with a 4spd. Just depends on $ at the time
Just make it look like an old stock car, numbers, etc. , needs to come down in the front some though. cool car
He's been waiting on body work and paint for a year lol
@@CorysCarReview My son's 56 Nomad has been in the hot rod shop of 16 months, they are still not finished with it yet. Hopefully soon. Can't wait to drive it.
Yes hopefully you'll have it back soon
Love these cars. I wish Ford did more with them but that's ok. People like me can swap 572's for 289's.
Heck yeah!
Para la venta?
What size are the rims? I ran a15×7 w/ the same size tire. The tire had a slight bow which caused the tire to wear in the middle more than the ends.
They are 15x8 all around with 275 60's all around. The fronts slightly rub on the upper ball joints, but not bad
He was gonna try a 15x10 on the rear, but it pushed the sidewall out enough it wouldn't clear even if you rolled the fender
Do you know the backspacing, I am going for something similar on my own 65 galaxie. Also was there any fender mods or suspension adjustments?
@jacobappelhans6983 I’ll double check on the backspacing, but I believe it’s factory. He put station wagon springs under the back to raise it up, and an adjustable torsion bar to pull the body over. It had been hit on the driver side at some point and the body wasn’t on straight

The steering wheel is far from authentic . And the dark window tint would not not go un noticed by certain people .
Well it's definitely not gonna look stock, so a steering wheel and window tint probably isn't a big deal 😉

Thanks man I appreciate it. I also love all kinds of cars. New and old.
Gift the 289 to someone for a boat anchor. That car is begging for a big block. I liked it till I saw the tiny motor. What a waste
That will change eventually. He wants to get the body all done first. We're thinking 427
@@CorysCarReview didn't mean that in a bad way. It always disappoints me to see a small block in a big car. The car is in pretty good shape overall.
@@williamlane9140 o no worries at all. Yeah there is alot on his list, just $ standing in the way lol.

It's going to a body shop several times over the next year probably for them to fix it properly, and he's not fixing it up to resale it.
@@CorysCarReview do you know cars?
@@pathbelow6652 No one is even thinking about selling this car. It was purchased as a project for the owners shop.
@@pathbelow6652 You sure don't. Do you think people buy a 55 year old car without knowing what they're getting into?
