Here is my 65' Ford Galaxie 500. Ive owned it since I was 15 and it is real close to getting done. Its been sitting in storage ever since I moved to AZ a year ago in one of our Warehouses at my dads plant. They are gonna bring it over to me this summer so I can Finsh it. The car has 28,000 original miles on it and has never had to have any body work. It sat in storage for 10 or so years before I bought it. I picked it up for 500 bucks.

Hard top comes off. I just had it on for the rainy season. Soft top aint so weather tight. lol.

84 380 or 450 sl (cant find documents to tell the dif) But it was a frame up restoration. New everything. New engine, tranny, paint, interior, etc.

Has a crate motor from Mercedes that is used in the 560 sl. So it has a 5.6 liter v-8 and it loves to go. Only complaint is I put the automatic back in to keep it original. I wish I put a manual in. The auto dont know when to shift and I end up down shifting. Which I guess most old cars do.

That's gonna be a nice ass car once you get her done. I can't tell in the picture if it's the original paint or not. Are you going to paint it?

It is the OG paint. The whole car was OG whn I bought it. It had never been touched. I hope to paint it this color.

1970 Plymouth Cuda. Numbers matching 440 ci engine, headers, true dual flowmaster exhaust with no cats, 727 Torque-flite tranny, posi rear end with 4.10 gears, some other extras, pretty much all original. It's a little dirty as we just got it out of winter storage. It has loud pipes and is a fast car!

You will love my car.

Its a 1964 Fairlane 500 with the 289. Originally bought by my mom in the late 60s, it still only has about 90,000 original miles.

I hace completely restored it, everything has been rechromed, new interior, engine and trans rebuilt, new suspension, and so on. Did pretty much all the work myself.

Its the same color as the Galaxy you posted, with the same Cragers. This pic is just a ****** pic i snapped in my garage right now. Its also dirty from being stored all winter. Once it quits raining ill bring it out and detail it and get some good pics.
