LOL. Luckily I dont have the room for more cars. I drive the wife crazy enough with this one. Shes pretty good about it though I'll give her that. She doesnt truly get the whole car guy thing but lets me do my thing and just shakes her head at me. She says I'll never grow up.(been with me since she was 16) God I hope shes right.
Had a 55 crown vic, still have a 65 fairlane, and a 55 fairlane club sedan....oh yeah, and a maverick
WHERE DID YOU FIND ONE OF THOSE!! some people have all these sweet rides fall in there laps. that NEVER happens to me.
97 anything is kinda old up here. not too much left on the road of that vintage. i am trying to find rocker panels for my 2002 f150 because they are full of holes. the problem is that the truck is too new, so very few company's make them yet. stupid salt by the way, it is -25.6 ºF today! rusty and cold
I am now down to just 4 left. In 06 I opened up the barn and started selling them off, sold 48 vehicles. Kept 2 65's one 2+2 fastback 4sp Mustang and a Comet Caliente Hardtop. The 2 trucks I kept are the 53 stepside sb and the 70 f-100 which is targeted for becoming a F-250/350 4x4 project. Could not see paying lease on a 160x50 building anymore to store toys I could not enjoy and since they were becoming a financial burden with all of the upkeep, insurance and storage it was time to find them new homes. Insurance agent cried, wife smiled and did the jig and I ran to the bank.
I've also got a 64 Galaxie 500 project, a 70 Chevelle wagon, a 63 or 64 Jeep Wagoneer, a 75 Mustang II Mach-1, a 78 Malibu (454, 4-speed) a 79 Malibu wagon (350/350) an 83 Mustang convertible an 87 5.0 Thunderbird an 88 Thunderbird GL
Yeah, the Galaxie looks worse than it actually is....lots of surface rust, but the body is really solid with little-to-no rot except for the trunk pan. I bought it off the widow of the 2nd owner who had it since 1970. It runs and drives.....289 and a Cruise-O-Matic. I'm building a dual-quad 460/C-6 for it, will also rebuild the original 289 and trans so it can be all put back to original if needed. I'm wanting to do a nice little budget street car with the Mustang II, maybe a 351W/C-4......a 5 lug swap with the Bullitt wheels (they're only mounted on 4-to-5 lug adapters now)....that body style starts looking real good when you get rid of those wienie 13 and 14 inch wheels they came with.
