1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL 2 Door Hardtop Fast Back Survivor incredibly well preserved with 83,367 showing on the odometer offered by Gas Monkey Garage. The Fourth Generation Galaxie 500 was new for 1969 with advanced styling like the hideaway headlights riding on an all new platform with a 121“ wheel base. When I saw how clean this car was, built with the 302 cid V8 and automatic transmission and painted Medium Lime Metallic with a green interior, I had to take a closer look. Upon inspection I found the exterior paint was nearly flawless (see all pics) with some areas of the original paint having been re-sprayed at some point in the past. All of the chrome trim, grills, bumpers etc… are present and in excellent condition (even the hideaway headlamp covers still operate correctly!) The interior is like a time capsule with the  appearance of a car that has just rolled off the showroom floor and everything works as it should including the factory AM radio! The 302 V8 starts easily and driving out of the parking lot reminded me of sneaking my dad’s car out in the middle of night (I had to return everything just the way I found it!). This Galaxie 500 XL drives very solidly with crisp acceleration through the gears and smooth braking. This car should be serviced prior to driving for any period of time due to the length of time since last serviced.

“I’ve been obsessed with cars since… I was born.”

Richard Rawlings had a car by age fourteen, and had gone through nearly twenty cars by the time he was out of high school. His father worked three jobs his whole life—two to make ends meet for the family, and one to buy toys. Neither a mechanic nor a fabricator, his father took pride in his car collection. Needless to say, this stayed with Richard.

Rawlings was always working, and always chasing pipe dreams. By twenty-one, he’d been a cop, a fireman, and a medic. But he wanted more. After a rough stint of sleeping on his sister’s couch, he got his act together and entered the world of trading sales. Here he solidified his business savvy, and went on to build an advertising and printing firm from the ground up. The company grew to become a “juggernaut” in the Dallas area. A mere four years later, the company sold, and with that money Gas Monkey Garage was born.

Aaron Kaufman worked at a shop Rawlings frequented, and loved the stuff Rawlings brought in for him. Kaufman always went above and beyond for him. When Gas Monkey opened, Rawlings called him up and asked if he wanted to work for him. The premise was simple: Rawlings wanted the fastest, most expensive, most badass hot rod shop to be found, with apparel and a show on Discovery to boot. Kaufman thought he was crazy, but signed on anyway. Eight years later, the shop is all that and more.

They owe their success to a strict business model. They don’t buy parts—only whole models without too much rust. Owing to his business background, Rawlings has a handle on the market, and knows the price he ought to pay. In ninety days or less, the job will be done, whether they start with a decent model or a carcass. Then it’s onto the next job without hesitation. If a finished car sits too long, Rawlings will sell it at a loss. He’s interested in a killer operation, not a stockpile.

Their roles within the shop are clear. Rawlings is first and foremost an entrepreneur. He wants to sell a style, push a brand, and make sure Gas Monkey Garage never stops growing. Kaufman runs the shop, armed with his mastery of mechanics, electrics, and fabrication. The dynamic is vital, the common ground being their mutual love of classic cars. Rawlings has always been an old soul when it comes to cars, and his style has brought in a steady flow of clientele who trust his no-B.S. methods. “Anyone can go out and buy a Ferrari.” Rawlings’ dream car? “A 1932 Ford Roadster—the holy grail of hot rods.”
