I have been putting this car together as a stepping stone down the path to be able to build my 54' Olds. Its a great driver that turns heads but not a show car. Some of the car is still in original paint and has had a few spot repairs in its life. No signs of any accidents ever but does have minor dents dings and scratches all over. The Galaxie is very solid with the only rust in the car anywhere is one small spot in the rear floor under the back seat, the rear trunk floor brace and will need small patches in the lower 1/4's if you decide to paint if. Most people would not even find the rust under the car and would list it as rust free. Its not but its close.

The engine is a 352 FE motor I was told was rebuilt this year by the previous owner. Motor looks clean and runs good so I have no reason to think this is not true.

The car has lots of new parts. Just a few are:

-new genuine Halibrand wheels and Cooper tires
-new brakes
-rebuilt Ford Toploader 4speed trans
-new top
-new carpet
-new seat belts
-new starter
-new pertonix ignition conversion


Its a super fun car to cruise around in. You can pretty much drive anywhere as is. The next thing I would suggest to do would be a front suspension bushing replacement because they are all pretty worn. I have about 100 pics of ever inch of the car I will post in the next few days as I have time to upload.

I'll take $15,900

 

It's a nice car Richard, hope it sells fast, good luck.

 

thanks

 

Nice looking car Richard. After your description, I wasn't expecting it to look as nice as it does. Good luck with the sale.

BTW, did you sell your Cutlass?

 

I don't candy coat cars I sell. I give the description I would want to have if I was a buyer. Might miss out on a sell or two without the fluff that most sellers give but I can sleep at night with a clear conscience.

Which Cutlass? I have had a few but don't own any right now.

 

got my pics up now

 

He probably meant the 68 442
that was left for dead.
Someone got a nice project car on
that one for sure.

 

new price $15,900

 

Richard: It looks pretty good from above! Yes, it could use some more work, but then, it's not an Olds... So we understand if you don't want to spend too much time on it.
I sent my Ford buddy, 'Tom Howard' a link. He will spread the news.
Let us know how this sale goes!

 

thanks man

 

final price drop...

 

I can't believe you still have it. I was wondering if you ever sold it.

 

Someone's going to get one
very nice vert. That's a steal.
I don't care if it is a Ferd.
Good luck with it Richard.

 

Everyon so far is wanting to trade. Just need to find the right guy with cash.

 

I agree its a great deal. Just ready to move it before I end up building a heathly 390 for it and burn off these new tires.

 

don't know much about Fords, but a ready to cruise convertible with a 4 speed - resale red with black - this thing should be gone already. love those older galaxies.

 

The Only thing that would make it
any sweeter would be the 390, and
maybe bucket seats and a console.

 

Or a 428.

 

428 would be even sweeter than that but the 390 will do

I like the bench in this car. Lots a family room.

 

Beat me to it by seconds but great minds think alike.

 

I'm not ashamed to say, next to Olds, Ford is next on my list......I can't believe you still have this car. If it were here on the east coast, probably would be gone already. Seems there is much more "low hanging fruit" in the southwest and west coast! Hope it goes soon for you Richard!

 

Nice ride Richard, hope it sells soon.

 

Take it to some car shows, it's a rolling billboard with a 4 sale sign. I sold the Plymouth off of racingjunk.com.

 

Went for a cruise this morning so I added some top down pics to the link

 

Rich, is this an original 4spd car? I have a buddy that is deep in Galaxie's and he may be interested.

 

They never made a 352 car with a 4speed. It was a 3 on the tree when born but so much better now. If it was a factory 390 4speed car it would have sold a long time ago and for more money. I've learned alot with this car.

This is a tween' car not super nice but not a pile of crap. I have always done real well with this sort of car in the GM world but seems the Ford guys only want a pile of crap or a nice pedagree car.

 

Ok, I'm not up on my Ford trivia...lol I know he mostly buys 4spd or BB cars. He has quite a few that I have seen and more in storage. I'll still let him know.

 

352 is still a big block just a small one

 

 

Awesome!

 

Sweet I really like the 63's too

 

sold....

 

I can't believe you still have it!! Take it to the Crusin For a Cure this weekend with a For Sale sign on it.

 

Me either Still getting regular trade offers but no cash.

Can't go to that show but it will be at Good Guys in a couple weeks. I could have sold it several times if it was a 390 car. Didn't think it was a big deal but to the Ford guys that have been interested it is.

 

Wow Richard, that is one sweet ride for the money. I cannot believe you still have it either. great car for the money

 

Sold!!

 

Way to go!
Another step stone closer to the '54 eh?

 

WTG! I saw you leave in it with someone today, so was wondering.

 

Awesome!

 

Congrats!
