Good point...a beautiful restored car like this will never be a daily driver, but a nice clean antique that's in sound safe condition is more fun to drive than a new car...My 1969 Corvair Monza is a clean low mileage original car that may never win a car show but is a blast to drive and it's good on gas too! Gets lots of SMILES to the gallon :=)
I picked up a 64 galaxie 4 door for $250 from a buddy of mine, runs and drives but not eye candy for sure. How much did this project set you back, just wondering. The car is amazing, its beyond words, its the exact thing i wanna do to the 64
That is a "Victoria" Galaxie. I have a 62 500 sedan. Those plastic Ford emblems near the roof and hood will set you back nearly 300 to 400 dollars. Do not get me started on the rest.
@muszyngr Yeah I don't let owners work on their cars on the shop, but Claude was such a nice guy, with the history behind the car being his dads, and his first car he ever drove and growing up in it all his life, I let hme work on it... Pete
Claude, I'm impressed to say the least about your very nice ride. I have a 64 4dr hardtop, I'll post it on here when it's ready for the world. Peace. Drew
Pete your my favourite redneck Texan Auto Restorer, you are a true professional and a real artist who sticks it up the big dollar big bullshit panel shop tossers!! Im a huge fan of your work and your great vid's, take it easy on Minny though or shell put your sallad in the oven and your roast in the fridge lol. Its funny when you refer to everyone trying to stick it in your ass! I know what you mean dude im Greek from Australia. Take care dude and keep producing your a star!!!
beautiful... just beautiful... You're gonna shit your pants when I tell you this, Pete, a couple weeks ago when I took my 62 Galaxie in to get the tranny rebuilt... a fuckin tractor smashed into the drivers door... I was not happy... the fuckhead that drove the tractor paid for the repairs but it won't be the same.... Its still in the shop.. I'll post a video when I can...
Sounds like a real bummmmmmeeeerrr. It also sounds like your PISSED OFF. Post the video,,, would like to see it... Actually I would have wanted to see your car getting hit, then you getting Pissed OFF at the guy, that would have been a riot...
Man, he's lucky he pinned my door shut while i was inside.... if i had been able to get out he'd be dead right now and i'd be in court hehe, as soon as my car gets back I'll post a new video
This car came out AWESOME. Even though you had the "Clowns" working on it, and you probably had to go back and do everything over that they screwed up, it looks like a real show peice. I feel for you Pete, your a hard worker indeed
WOW!

I'd rather spend 20 grand on a beautiful classic like this, than on a plastic, computerized Toyota Camry...

@gojoe283 The Camry makes a better (and more economical) daily-driver, but certainly has no style, and will never be a Collectors Item...

I paid 800 for a 4 door 62. All parts and chrome are there. Only one spot of cancer near front wheel well. This car is done up real nice. Love it.

Positively amazing! Totally gorgeous Galaxie and a premium restoration job! Thanks for showing her.

It looks rather aerodynamic. What kind of mileage does it get? How about when crusing at 100mph?

Tried to watch this video with my four year old daughter and her Grandmother who with my father owned a 62 Ford.
The moron who narrated the clip couldn't help but use the worse profanity possible. We went to mute get fhrough it.
