I am an old timer. My first car was a '66 Ford Custom with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree. I bought it used and drove the wheels off of it. Honestly, in their original configuration, there isn't a lot that can go wrong with these "analog" automobiles.
Ha. Mine first car very similar to yours; mine was a 65 automatic, otherwise the same setup. I inherited it from my dad in 79. I drove the heck out of it and never broke down. It was the ultimate beach cruiser it was a daily driver for morning dawn patrol and could carry all my mates and all our gear. Sick car. I feel nostalgic every time I see these vids and wish it had been a muscle.
I have a 65 2dr HT with a 390. C6, a 16 gal fuel cell and an electric pump like yours. I lost my vision and it just sits. My son and I built it. We were going to drive it to California. We painted it, but the original paint was just like yours. I don’t think I can make a trip like that now. You have a neat car, it is so much like ours it blows me away! Bill Ballinger Sr.
This Summit carburetor is a replica of the Autolite 4100, designed by Ford. It was the first carburetor with annular discharge secondary venturis. Holley bought the design from Autolite, and added their own touch to it, so the accelerator pump is Holley, as is the secondary vacuum diaphragm, and the floats hang from the cover. Also, it uses Holley size threads on the jets. The original Autolite is a better carburetor if you ask me. Have one from 1965 on my Galaxie, and it runs without any issues whatsoever.
There are things on the 4100 I like better and things on the Holley I like better. Auto lutes are hrs to come buy. I redid one on camera for a 66 4 speed 428 galaxie my buddy has. All online
Great Video and Welcome to Virginia !! Love Your Galaxie --- My First car was 65 Galaxie 500 Fastback-- 390 Cruis-o-matic my Grandpa gave me when I was 14 and I STILL have it !!! And it was built at the Ford Plant here in Norfolk Va [ Where I later worked - Now at Louisville Assembly in KY] Philip --from Virginia Beach.
This is so cool to ride along with you on a ballsy run. It’s holding together very well. Respect your car knowledge and guts. Glad you made it . Dig your car too.
That car is pretty well sorted out and it sounds great. Big fan of the 289. As a teenager I drove a 1965 Galaxy 500 with a 289 4 speed. Let me tell ya, that thing could get rowdy in a hurry. It had an emerald green body with eggshell white top and black interior. Knock your eyes out car. One day I hope to come across one worthy of buying. Glad ya had a good trip Luke and will be waiting to hear about the return trip. God Bless brother!
I came across your channel about a month ago, you guys got that 65 F-250 running out of the woods! Way Cool :) I'll say that I want your doing, reminds me of Back in the Day. I got my Mom's old 71' Galaxie 500 2 door running after a 20 year sit. 351 Windsor and rebuilt it with Cleveland heads! Next is my 72' F-250 390 Camper Special that's been sitting 18 years now and after watching your videos I think I'll have no problem getting that beast running.
@@BlueXonar i put my 85 chevy through all sorts of abuse and it dont have a problem with only changing oil, the ignition control module, cap, spark plugs and wires and valve cover gaskets and its good after sitting for 5 years outside
@@sammybeddingfield1014 Old American stuff is probably different, especially in dry states, big strong pushrod V8's or in-line 6's with carbs.

Yep. My daily driver for years was a 1969 Chevy truck. I drove it every day from 1999 to 2007 while in high school and college. I put a new GM crate 350 engine in it and rebuilt the turbo 350 trans. It always started and went anywhere I told it to go. The only problem was keeping gas in it lol.
Holy crappers! had one with a 352, 390 GT heads, low rise(427) 2-4's, "lemans" cam (yeah, I'm "that" old), 355 gears and a toploader when I was in high school.. miss the ole gal
That summit carb is much like the old Autolites that came on the Fords. Love those carbs, will probably look into the summit carbs if I need one. Those full size Fords are great. Can’t wait to have my 65 LTD back on the road.
That's an unusual 1965 Galaxie 500. That roofline with a B pillar was most often seen on the Custom 500, which was the low end big Ford. However, the 65 Custom 500 would have had round taillight lenses set in a "flattened round" bezel to match the body lines, while this one has the Galaxie 500 taillights. Also, the lack of fender badge and chrome strip is more consistent with the Custom 500. This .pdf shows the Custom 500 and its distinctive roofline on page 11. www.xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1965-Ford.pdf
Omg this conversation between you guys cleared up alot...i wondered why my windows wouldnt close together like all the galaxies...and the window was much more square...i got the car with a chopped top and i couldnt understand why there was metal between the front and back window...because its a ford custom! Thanks alot guys
Sorry that nobody warned you about I-95 ahead of time! I lived in VA for a couple of years, putting that highway in my rear-view for the last time was wonderful.
Jealous - now that it's almost thanksgiving I've just now gotten my 67 galaxie convertible road worthy...not pretty...but driveable...and Chicagoland winter means it's gonna be parked for a few months. But roadtripping in it next summer would be a dream! Great video!
Looks like fun! I used to fill up with Sunoco 260 when road tripping my 71 dodge demon 340. That 260 really woke up that small block! Sure miss those days back in 72! That 289 sounds really healthy!!!
Thanks for sharing, i do wish we could hear the engine running, the solid lifters didn't sound as noisy as i thought, going down the road, and yes Old School Cars can keep up, even better when introducing them to some new Technologies.
People have this misunderstanding of solid lifters, if adjusted properly, they sound like a well oiled machine. I like them a lot. Less stuff to gum up and fail thanks for the positive feedback
Reminds me of my trip I took in 1982 about 800 miles to my first duty station in Cheyenne, Wyoming driving my '64 El Camino with a 283 and three on the tree. Only problem I had was a flat tire.
Nice car. I don't recognize this as being a Galaxie. My Dad had one of these he bought from the State when I was like twelve. It was a "Custom" not even a "Custom 500". It came with a solid lifter 390 and a 3 spd. manual. That car had one purpose for the State--being an Interceptor. Thanks for making this video and showing your car I enjoyed it and it brought back memories.
Man, wish I had been following you a few years ago. I live just east of Richmond and Suffolk is just an hour and a half southeast of here. Would have loved to see the car in person. Was raised on Fords.
Oh wow, wish I would've saw this then and known. I live in VB. Would've been cool to meet you at one of the meet-n-greets out there at the old Suffolk Drag Strip. Also plenty of cars and coffee meets out there too. Shucks!
I drive a 40 year old Chevy c20 truck everywhere. Around town. Long distance road trips into other states, even been up to Canada. Sometimes hauling a bunch of weight. Sometimes not. No worries, Just get in er and go. If an old car or truck is properly tuned and solid there is no reason you can’t take it anywhere.
love your videos buddy and awesome advice, been watching them for a while now and great for my 84 f150 build :) I know this is a older video but w/e I wasn't going to another video to write this comment haha, keep it up !!!
I drove a 1969 Galaxie from Ohio to Cali and back. Took same car to Connecticut and back to Ohio. It was an automatic with a 302. I guess I should say that was in 1973/74. :) When I sold it in 75 it had 100K miles on it and still ran great, had to sell it Navy sent me to Hawaii and would not ship it.
thanks, i need to bring the poor car back to life. hasnt rolled since 2015 - pulled the engine for another vehicle. currently working on its new engine - the pushrod length video i just put out is on the engine thats going back in the car!
I grew up with carburetor's and fuel injection. When you did maintenance you always saved the good old part and stuck it in your tool box or glove box. So you always had a good old spare cap, rotor, condenser, points, coil wire etc....in a box or tool box or glove box of your car. This way on a 3000 mile trip is something failed you had a spare on hand just in case. Maybe it was because my Dad was in the US Army but that is what I was taught. You always get spare old belts on hand as well. 11 O'Clock at night on a dark disserted high way was not a place you wanted to be stuck until someone came past you on the way to work many hours latter. Plus it used to be all the stores and towns along the interstate where 3X as expensive if you needed a part. Breaking down in Death Valley could be your end!
Always have been a Galaxie, Fairlane and Torino guy, even though I've owned 6 mustangs. My last Fairlane was a 67 GTA with a built 428cj, first car was a 68 Cougar XR 7, 2nd was a 65 Fairlane "k" with Borg Warner T-10
Ah, wish this would have been more eventful, honestly I thought this was boring because it went so well! Same thing is happening to me right now in Louisville with the rotstang. Going so well it's not much to record
I live in Suffolk, Va. I like your Galaxie. I have ridden in one like it. It was a beast. But, it does deserve a decent paintjob. The one I rode in was kind of a pale greenish white. Or whitish green. Something along those lines. Pick your color, but I would go light, rather than dark on this one. It kind of looks like a Halloween scare mare car, now. These were popular as police cars, too.
It’s a rat wagon - 6 years later I still have it. Now has a 174 blower with a TKO 5 speed. Fun car, scary to drive with manual steering and brakes, but you never really feel alive till your almost dead
@@ThunderHead289 Well, next time you are in Suffolk, let me know. We can ride in the rat wagon. I'll buy you lunch. It was scary to ride in, too. But, I liked it.
Great video super trip, damn nice FORD and i hate FORDs, Granddad had one like that 2 door too. Its not a bad looking ride. I am 3 hours north if you come out again let me know. D
There are tollways in the Midwest. Driving from WI to Chicago along I-90/94 there are 5 before you hit the city. Not sure how expensive they are now though. Back in the day it was like 50 cents.
any one can google search it to find out what the currant the tolls r as of for 2019....... i'm semi-currious of what the currant toll's r now a days r there.......
Had a 85 Buick Regal with a 383 with solid lifter cam I didn't do anything to it nothing to it besides running the crap out of it . I foot tuned it lol all I know is who built the engine. Was a highly recommended race shop in Linton Indiana
Ma I wish you were closer Id say take my Foxbody and get my 351w tuned in . Its running but there is alot of power hiding . Great vids .Got the same Summit Racing carb cam and pistons dual plane intake . The masterly Ford tech youve become Keep making these viids
One day I'll get my dream car 63 Gal 2 door. Seen one in my hometown growing up and I loved that car. If I remember right had a 352 4sp car. She would raise the front end off the ground stock off the line.
@@ThunderHead289 i've heard a lot worse then yours here so not to worry buddy.......... don't beat your self up badly on your speaking..... it's all sounding natural here so keep up the awesome job's on all the projects there......
Question:I have a 1999 f150 5.4 trition engine,can I run a bypass hose from the back side of the water pump to the heater core hose eliminating the one under the air intake manifold???
Back in mid 80s took a 1967 Chevy caprice and drove it from Sacramento to Tampa Florida then about a year later went back to Sacramento not a bit of trouble and did not have any parts or tools to speak of nether best of times hope to do again before I get much older

People that say classic cars aren't dependable probably butchered one and then it wasn't dependable
Or just didn't maintain it properly. Old cars are only dependable IF you maintain them properly. Modern cars can put up with all sorts of neglect.

Back in mid 80s took a 1967 Chevy caprice and drove it from Sacramento to Tampa Florida then about a year later went back to Sacramento not a bit of trouble and did not have any parts or tools to speak of nether best of times hope to do again before I get much older
That was probably an amazing trip
Oh awesome, this was almost my 2nd car but lighter grey primer. I got the 71' Monte cuz it was only $400 instead of $500 for this, lol.
Being able to go that far in a ford is truly amazing. Congratz!
