I always wanted a 65-67 Galaxie growing up and ended up purchasing this one in 2011 in Oregon, spent a couple weeks tuning it up and then made a big road trip and drove it back across the country to Pennsylvania. The vehicle is in very nice shape. It has not been restored or messed around with that much and most of the stuff on it is original. The coolest thing for me is just how nice the undercarraige of the car is. As far as I'm concerned, the car, although not perfect, has character. As an owner, other than keeping it tuned up in and in working order, I like it the way that it is. But.... for the right somebody else out there, this car is a perfect candidate for a top to bottom restoration. I've provided many detailed pictures.
Now I'll tell you what is wrong with the car that I know of. First of all, the engine leaks oil out of the manifold. I add about a half quart or more to top it off every time that I fill up the tank with gas. I am not a "mechanic", but do know a little about how to work on a car, and my best diagnosis is that there are broken studs in the manifold. The car drives fine and the engine runs well, so for the past summer driving it I let it go. Although this may not be a big problem to fix for somebody that works on cars constantly, it would be a project for the non mechanic (me) to fix that up. The thought of fixing it jumped through my mind, but if I'm going to sell it, I'll leave that up to the next person.
On the driver's side fender there is a spot touched up with white paint right behind the tire. The trunk was completely repainted. Both of these things were there before I bought the car. A teenage girl bumped into my car last year in a parking lot, while the car was parked. The chrome on the driver's side taillight was bent and the paint and letters were scratched. It was repaired professionally at a body shop in Buffalo New York. The Chrome was replaced with an older part and the letters (except for the "G") were replaced with New Old Stock original galaxie letters (the rubber is black and perfect), the scratch on the body was fixed and painted. This was not a major collision and not something that would cause major damage to the car, was just a minor cosmetic thing.
I replaced the old carburetor with a new Edelbrock. I still have the old one, but it needs to be rebuilt. Also have the original air filter. With the passing gear stepdown rod, I couldn't get the linkage right with the new carburetor (didn't put that much effort into it), so I just tied it up with a bungy. I also replaced the belts, brakes, drums, master cylinder, coil and distributer, a few other small things.
This is a pretty great car. Perfect for a person that would want to restore a classic automobile. Look at the photos and let me know about any questions that you have.

Ford to build next F-150, outgoing model concurrently?
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Ford is rumored to be considering concurrent production for old and new F-150 models in a bid to minimize supply chain disruptions and inventory. Automotive News is reporting that the Blue Oval will build both the current F-150 and its replacement, which we showed you testing just last month, side by side for about half a year before switching over entirely to next-generation production.
As IHS Automotive analyst Mike Jackson told AN, "In order to ramp up, you have to retool...and that means you have to take capacity offline." Building both models alongside could allow Ford to cope with the still strong demand for the current F-150, while populating dealer supplies and working out supply chain kinks for the new model before making a full-time switch.
A loss of capacity when demand is so strong, even for a short period, could spell bad news for Ford, which nets an estimated 90 percent of its global profit on pickups and large SUVs. As AN states, Ford produces the F-150 in both Kansas City, Missouri and Dearborn, Michigan, which allows it to maintain some degree of flexibility in production. The new F-150 is expected to arrive at the 2014 North American International Auto Show as a 2015 model, with a design inspired by the Atlas Concept first shown at the Detroit Auto Show last January.
