Which car would you lose?

Well, I made my decision that the Pinto is going! Honestly, it's not that comfortable. I have 3 great projects going that I like better. Going up for sale :-D Maverick, Mustang II, and my Galaxy are the keepers!!!

 

The Cruising Wagon is pretty collectable with the wagons, but more so. They are cute. But for long legs these cars suck LOL

 

nice score on the king cobra! a close friend of mine has the same, but as it is an export model, it's a kevin marti approved 1of1. he's slowly bringing it back to life as it had been neglected for a long time. it's definitely a keeper...

 

Thanks, it's one of my favorites. My order of favs:

1) 1970 Galaxie (because of the comfort driving it)
2) 1970 Maverick (because it's cool with 3 on the tree and the bench seat)
3) 1978 Mustang King Cobra II (cause it's too cool)
4) 1973 Pinto Wagon (cause it's so darn cute)

That's really cool on the 1 of 1. I'd love to see a build. Is he on the Mustang II forums do you know? I don't think I saw that one? He could do it on Misfits I guess. But I would LOVE to see it and that Marti Report would be soooo awesome!

 

Yeah. I think you made the right decision. And I am a Pinto owner. The King Cobra is something special. The Galaxy is rare. The Maverick is the best mass produced Pony car secret ever made But the Pinto wagon is not rare or special.

I would have voted to boot the Galaxy if you had a Pinto: Stallion, Cruising Wagon, Olympic special, or a 4-speed trunk model, or a..... I'll shut up

Or one like this!

 

Hey it's all good That's the Galaxie, and no I can't boot it, almost done, some finishing touches. Rides like I remember them riding back then, R12 in the A/C and blows like you wouldn't believe. I can post a ton of pictures, new interior and so on.

I'll get a Maverick again one day. But for now, these are my 3 babies

 

Ain't that '69 got a '70 grille???

 

No, it's a 70 with a 70 grill but missing the emblem in the grill. I just have to put it in, but want to polish the aluminium first.

The side lights are a set I got if you remember, for my 70 at the time and got 2 sets. The dome light also is for a 70 Galaxie.

 

I should have realized it was a '70, antenna is on passenger finder... The '69 were on driver side and one of the most aggravating/distracting features on any car I've owned(had one of each)... My '70 was almost bare bones, had radio, vinyl upholstery, and 302 with three on the tree, no P/S, P/B, A/C, tint etc... The '69 was a wagon and had it all...

 

I would love a wagon. The interior is almost done, restoring a 69 wheel, what a pain, but using marine tex. I like the horn below on the ring, so that and the dash pad I'm getting will be a 69 (the 69 didn't have the emblem in the dash). Can't find the sport roof moulding clips. I gotta figure out how to glue them down or attachment them somehow. It's almost there

The wagon sounds awesome. I added a clock, didn't have one. This one is a 351 Windsor, wish it had the 390. I need cragars when I can afford them. Maybe rims with trim rings and hubs like from a Torino. I dunno yet LOL

 

While I really liked the '70 Galaxie, I despised the '69 wagon, was just too big and clumsy... The 302 had a busted piston so I swapped a 390 & C6 into it, wound up trading it a few months later for a '67 Falcon Wagon that was loaded as well... Had 289, C4, P/S, P/B, A/C, vinyl seats, two way tail gate(but crank window), even a posi rear, but had rubber floor mats... Which was good, very easy to clean... Eventually it got a 351 & FMX from a '69 Torino, finally sold it to a guy who put the eng and trans in a '67 Stang...

 

I think you misunderstood. She actually sold the Maverick and kept the Pinto.
But, that's the cool thing about cars, everybody has different thoughts and ideas. I would have kept the Maverick and the King Kobra. Those weren't the cool years for Galaxies and well...the other is a Pinto.
