  • Here's another build I've been waiting quite a while to shoot. Our friend Kent Matranga owns a number of award winning custom builds and this is one of my favorites of his. This 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 XL is powered by a Gen 2 Coyote and shows some of the finest paint, body and interior work I've ever seen before so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    The early to late 60's full size 2-door hardtops are simply beautiful. The long flowing roofline that "fastbacks" into the quarter panel is unmatched in anything more modern.

    My Father gave me a 67 Galaxie (sorry, 4 door hardtop). I drove the hell out of it! Took it from Calif. to Florida, Drove it for years! Then put a "Grabber Blue" Laquer Paint Job!
    I used to fly Control line stunt and that car could hold my plane (60" wingspan) in the trunk!

    I'm not really a Ford guy by nature but this Car is Awesome! I don't think you would expect this type of build from what was originally designed to be an Old Folk's Family Car.
    And what's wrong with putting that '59 Impala Dash in it? It fits nicely and doesn't distract from Ford's original concept. It's just different. It's Instrumentation layout is easy to read and it's sort of elegantly simple. It's Clean and Classy. Bravo Armando....that upholstery is over the top!
    Looks like it'd be comfortable to ride 2,500 miles in it anytime...
    Doesn't look like any Stone was left unturned....

However, I think Shawn and crew (won’t blame ONLY Shawn) but sometimes the captain goes down with the ship (LOL) the owner of the Galaxy had me sleeping and dreaming about another Galaxy far far far away with his extreme lack of interest, personality, social graces-LOL- enthusiasm, hype and the glaring lack of three dimensions! I mean no hate or disrespect to Shawn, but damn boys make sure the kats coming aboard with their whips… are ALIVE! That dude puts insomniacs to sleep! Anyway, I LOVE this show and Shawn!
