Rev, when I was a kid, my godfather owned a 1963 Galaxy 500, White ragtop, white interior and a Peach colored exterior. He told me he would give it to me on my 16th birthday (1974). He drove it as a daily driver from new. In 1974, he was T-Boned at an intersection in Boston, Mass, and the car was totaled. Passenger side was destroyed and the frame was a goner. Needless to say, I didn't get the car. I'm guessing you are getting these old Ford's running and rolling and flipping them to people looking for and old car to tinker with. Love that you are saving these beauties. I do have a suggestion for you: You and your dad concentrate on Fords, so you are looking at maybe four or five basic engines: 289, 351, 360, 390 V8s, 300 Straight 6. You and your dad should pool some cash and buy a basic start up kit, that either of you can use and replace as you go. Start with a Steel Boat gas tank and add a clickity clack fuel pump. Add plugs, points, condensers, rotors, wires, distributor caps, solenoids and battery cables for each engine you expect to work on. One set each of 14" and 15" tires and wheels. Fuel, air and oil filters for each engine type. Finally, a couple of rolls of fuel and vacuum tubing. Then, rather than running back and forth to the part store, you will have almost everything you need on hand. Then you can replace the used parts in one run to the parts store AFTER you get the old Fords running. You can also document the parts used for a future buyer.
I used to have -67 LTD ht with 428. I miss that car, it had even same baby blue paint, this is like seeing it again after almost 40 years. There were only 3 of those here in Finland...
I'm back and finally catching up on videos Rev!! Been away from the digital world getting work done in Dallas the last couple of weeks.....we've both said it before, there's NOTHING like that first start! Whoooooo what a rush!! Love the car it's awesome but loved the fact that your partner n crime was out there helping you with it - gotta love it!! Looking forward to seeing more on this one for sure!! Thanks again for letting us join you on your journeys - it really does brighten my day!! Take car Rev - tell everyone Darren in TX said hey!!
I had a real scare last year at the post office with my VERY NICE 68 Mustang I bought in 1977. 289 Rev, I know you like them... I hit the starter and the engine fired right off, but the starter wouldn't stop cranking! I turned the key completely off, but it just kept cranking! I knew I was almost certainly going to have a fire, the battery was in excellent shape and wouldn't stop cranking it. I was so scared I was going to watch my beautiful car of 43 years go up in flames . Then after about 15, 20 seconds , It hit me, I grabbed the starter solenoid and started cranking it up and down as fast and hard as I could! After about 20, 30 seconds, the thin metal part snapped in half, and it stopped cranking. PHEW, I was so relieved and thanked God for putting that idea in my head. So I replaced the solenoid and that solved the problem. My mechanic suggested putting a kill switch on the car , which instantly disconnects the battery when I turn the key it comes with. So if that ever happens again, I can stop it quick. !! I also use it when I'm going away, so there's no power to the car, its old, so JUST IN CASE,, you never know with old original wiring.....and I also now carry a firextinguisher in ALL MY CARS. I think you have a good one here, looks like its got alot less rust, and decent interior too. Straight body, yeah I like it! Looking forward to more on this one!
John... when the solenoid sticks closed it can be scary... I usually leave my ground battery terminal an ounce below tight, so if I have to I can pull it off fast... Glad you got it to stop cranking... Thanks for watching.
Go to a lawnmower repair shop and buy a used mower gas tank. You can set it on the windshield and run a line to the carb. That way you can have a fair supply of gas to keep them running. A boat gas tank with an electric fuel pump is even better.
Now that to me is the prettiest front and rear look that ford had. I like the 67s. First car was a 67 galaxies rag top. Been in love ever since and yes I still have it after 50 years.
That 65 Merc with the Breezeway window is cool. My dad had a white one with blue interior. Brings back some memories. Interestingly my dad's had a 3 on the tree. Not that common for a big Merc. Fun to watch these resurrections.
@@RevStoration 😂 You know it. We lived in the country. So every time he left home, he really took off. Wound it up to 40 in first and kept going for a bit after that until the turns came . He would get home and mom would always scold him. STEVE! Your 50 years old. Quit driving like a kid. But it was sorta like ground hog day. He loved that 3speed and kept repeating it. Sadly he traded it before I was old enough to drive.
My favorite car of all time was 1997 Ford Thunderbird, V8, white with beige interior. Kept it for 13 years. Now have 2006 Mustang GT Vista Blue. Now has 40,000 miles.
These are ford's never die. Until they are crushed for good. Great video brother. Keep em coming. All the ford guys lovers love them. Like we say, you just can't keep an old ford down. No matter how long they've been sitting. Your videos are awesome. See you on your next adventure. 😁👍👍
Another great video and glad to see NikkiT our there with you. Your a lucky man! Definitely looks that old girl has some life left in her. I know you did but don't forget to show checking the oil lol.
I like it too... just not after dark with the hardest gaskets ever... That Walmart cleaner would awesome though.... cleaned better than the expensive stuff.
The 300 6 cylinder, 289 and 390 V8 are the best engines I have dealt with. I still dream of adding a 427, SOHC, and Boss 429 but doubt I will ever experience those engines. Great video.
I love all of the 60 model engines... 390, 352, 427 are virtually the same engine... 289/302 144/170/200/250/300 are all about the same too... Fun old rigs to turn on.
Hey Rev! Nice car sir. And she fired up great! And NikkiT just wrenching away. Beautiful. Car is in great shape. Good purchase. Love the video. Can’t wait to see the next one. Be safe. Big Al.
pause your video at 21;32..you have your left thumb right on one of those vent tubes for the fuel bowl ..you can pour gas right down either tube and fill the fuel bowl up and this way it will run a bit longer then just pouring fuel down its throat.newer ford carbs also have them vent tubes but they are larger in size
Yeah, I know you can pour it down the vent tube... but the hole is rather small... four screws and I can remove the gasket and pour into the bowl... I think it is a preference issue.. I have always done it that way and out of habit I probably always will.. Thanks for watching friend.
You can take 2 or 3 inch pipe run a chain threw it and tow your rigs home .As long as uou keep that pipe streight no brakes required just need a driver .brought many home that way
Just a friendly suggestion from a grouchy old mechanic it would be a good idea to fully rotate the motor over to make sure the valves are stuck so that when you spin it over with a starter you don’t bend the Valve ina perfectly good motor. Also I would pull the plugs and put some lubrication down those spark plug holes because more than likely there is some rust formed and you might break a piston score of the cylinder walls and pistons
I rotated the engine fully before I ever purchased the car... I also have some 2 stroke oil in the gas that I am using to start the car... I do somethings off of camera and forget to say that I have done that....
You're right old Freddy weiland with his old Ford 464 wheel drive 44 inch motors he said pump it twice and hold it to the floor and she'll fire up every time
Well, having great experience with these I’ve gotta put in my ten cents. If it’s warm, no gas pedal pumping needed. If it’s cold, one full stroke of the pedal sets the choke, which releases after the heater hose running along the choke coil warms up that coil enough that it rotates and releases the step cam for a regular idle speed. Cold start idle should be about 900 rpm, war, start about 700rpm. Now a hot start may require a WOT position to fire off. They get heat soak
Maybe Nikki T will invite you to her next video! Ha Ha! Did not sound half bad and old cars sometimes need a little extra work, kind of like me in the morning. All is good!
I was 8 when these were new. Nice cars. In 69 my dad bought a new LTD. LOADED. really nice car, 390 v8, moved the car very well. A real freeway cruiser! I remember it had hideaway headlights, vacuum actuated, when you turned them on and off you would hear a hissing sound inside the car. We had it i think 10 years, when he sold it. Those headlights never gave a problem.
That's the factory skim coat they used to get a smooth surface for paint. All of them have that coat even my 17k orig mile 66 4 door. The way you have to tell if its been hit is look inside the trunk area at the backside of the quarter and see if its boogered up. That one looks pretty darned straight and in decent condition. The one thing that has been pretty much constant on the ones I've dealt with is the rear window leaking and the rear floor pans, trunk floor and underseat areas get cancer in them real bad. If its not already eaten away make sure to clean the trunk rain gutter out and keep leaves n stuff out of there. Once it gets holes or the rear window seal starts leaking the pans take a beating quickly
Yep.. the trunk lid had leaves but thank goodness it wasn't getting water in it... I will clean it out... The back was bumped... the inside from the trunk is noticeable... I will probably do a little metal work and re skim it... Thanks for watching friend.
@@RevStoration Yes sir.I have a 67' 390 and when it gets warmed up it makes a tapping noise now...Wondering if it's a collapsed lifter or not.Never looked into it yet.
Man what a score! Love the old Galaxy's with the stacked headlights for sure. Like your grampas but with a little extra door for family outings. Nice! There's another TH-cam feller Thunderhead289 who has a couple of Galaxy's as well. You on the hunt for a more peppy motor in the future? Either for this one or for your Granddad's would be fun to watch you and your Dad do that. Motor and paint. Love the old bench seat cars. :-) Big old puffy benches were the best. Like driving while on the couch lol :-) Rock on Rev!
really like your videos aand look forward to watching them each week,be nice to see you and your dad actually finish a car and get it back on the road.wish here in the uk i could pick up some bargains like you and your dad keep up the good work and take care.
Rev , loving the channel would like to offer a bit of an fyi.. clearly you are in to the vintage Fords, just a tip when you are servicing the pre-1975s with conventional ignition , there was a serious issue with the breaker plates inside the distributor ( the points attach to this)and if the plastic bushings wore seriously worn, the points COULD move around even if properly set/gapped and cause starting /running issues just something might want to keep eye on
My parents had a white 67 four door Custom 500 Ford. It had the 289, automatic, and manual steering. Us teenage boys liked it, because it was the first V8 family car.
1967 Ford Galaxie 500 4-Door Sedan (production 130,063). The color appears to be Brittany Blue. The data code plate on the door jamb will give lots of information.
Rev also Nicky T jumps when sparks happen when had that sparkling happen to and got nice car too! Also what's a snail and black board on wall when wet together got in common? They have slide to play with together with slippery slide when wet ! Hope see dad out in more videos again to Rev :) and he enjoy too!
I had a 65 custom the model just below the galaxy in trim level. It had a 352 under the hood with a tremendous amount of torque! Had nearly 120,000 on the odometer when I purchased it and after a water pump belts and hoses the car ran like a dream. It was sitting outside for 3+ years the lifters somewhat stuck and smoked like a chimney until two days after running it around. It had so much torque I had to put in solid motor mounts DIY version because they did not make solid mounts? The four barrel carburetor was excellent until the plastic linkage broke for the secondaries. I think Fort was experiencing some primer issues during this time, because mine was an Arizona vehicle this surface rust was ridiculous to remove! Even a belt sander with 80 grit sandpaper and a 9 inch angle grinder with a wire wheel it was beyond a brutal workout. The front bushings and steering components were shot and would love to known about putting the Mustang 2 frontend on it. The rear end was sagging pretty badly so a water pipe spacer went under the coils, along with coil over socks very stiff rear end great for cornering because this car was extremely tail heavy especially in the rain! Along with some light truck tires in a homemade trailer hitch this thing was a beast. To teach me how to do drum brakes my grandpa taught me how to do the first one and I had to do the rest of them oh joy that was. Drove that car three times across this country and unfortunately it's demise was a scrapyard and why would I say that? The galaxies were always higher on the collectibility and the customs were not a lot more rare but not sought after never knew why. Not bad for somebody at 17 and to give anybody an idea of its size is 20 feet bumper-to-bumper almost the same dimensions as a full-size pickup. Even if I still had the vehicle it's 30 gallon tank would be gone and only days at $1.25 per gallon it would take $100 bill today to fill it today. It's sad and unfortunate many of these old dinosaurs turned into scrap or unusable rust buckets. Today's car's would not survive 30 years in some back lot especially in Arizona with the heat!
You can also make a 289 pretty beefy as well. Heat it up a bit and peel the rubber off the wheels with a 4 door. Great sleeper cars and the 2 door fastback and the 4 door are the same size.
You keep revvin` I`ll keep on honkin`....lol great vid,great ford always loved that body style!
I thought that was you.. Some probably thought I was just blowing smoke.. Honored that you watch!
I like seeing you getting your daughter involved in these old fords.
She will end up working on something before long...
That's Awesome man!!!
Thanks for watching Hank!
Great. Thanks to share.

I do have a suggestion for you: You and your dad concentrate on Fords, so you are looking at maybe four or five basic engines: 289, 351, 360, 390 V8s, 300 Straight 6. You and your dad should pool some cash and buy a basic start up kit, that either of you can use and replace as you go. Start with a Steel Boat gas tank and add a clickity clack fuel pump.

Fuel, air and oil filters for each engine type. Finally, a couple of rolls of fuel and vacuum tubing. Then, rather than running back and forth to the part store, you will have almost everything you need on hand.

I am going to be working on this one a little more and then flip it to someone else that may be interested... Thanks for watching...
Another awesome save !
Thanks for watching!
Thumbs up, to you Rev. and NikkiT, and a shout to Ray Ray.
Thanks Mr. Hall.

This ole rigs is going to be an awesome addition when we get her stopping...
Just goes to show, first starts aren't always peaches and cream! Great job you two!
Thanks brother... She was stubborn but she is purring like a kitten now..
Olde car guy, how's your 79 Cordoba doing sir..
@@richardbates2367 besides feeling neglected, it’s doing ok. Just waiting for a spot in the new garage!
I know every one likes the two door 500s but I'm liking the 4 door
I am hopeful that she will turn out really nice.... Thanks for watching.

You did a great job of getting that old Ford running again. That engine sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Larry... she is quite...
Had a 68 galaxie when I was out of school in 74. Best driving car I ever had. Wish I still had it.
Yep, these big fords drive really well..
WHOOOO HOOOOO!!!! NO KNOCKING OR TICKING EITHER !!!!! THAT BELT FLEW THE COOP !!!!
WAY TO GO, Y'ALL !!!! STAY HEALTHY !!!!
Im grateful it wasn't in my teeth. Thanks for watching.
Great to see nicki T👍
Thanks for watching.
What a trio!!! Rev,MsT,and the Lord can't beat that
Thank the Lord that she finally fired off and ran... Purring like a kitten now.
Yeah! Everyone loves Nikki T!!! It's so great to have her here today!
I agree that NikkiT is loved... She enjoys hanging out with her Old Man... and he loves it too.

Getting gas to the car is important... but hopefully I can fill the gas tank and use it.. I need to get the boat tank and the pump.
Great! JOB! Pastor
She is purring like a kitten now... timing advanced and boom.
Great to see you getting another old Ford running
More to come!
@@RevStoration great. Looking forward to them.
Great Video Rev!
Thanks Guys!
Great Cars!!

When I got out of service in 1967, got a job. Purchased a new 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible with 289. White with red interior.
Wow.. I bet she was an awesome ride... XL convertible ... wow.
@@RevStoration Kept it until Oct 71, a new 1972 Ford Galaxie 500 2 door sedan with 400 engine, a week before getting married.

Yep... she will have some life left in her... On the road before long.
She's definitely a headin to town unit!! In the footage btw, you weren't in it but your pie grabbers said it all, they jumped quite a bit LOL
Chris... The spark and the engine noise made my pie grabbers move back quickly.
You guys are funny, and do a good job. Fun when Nikki T helps cuz she has a good attitude!
She has a great attitude and she puts up with my craziness. Thanks for watching.
Another great video and glad to see NikkiT our there with you. Your a lucky man! Definitely looks that old girl has some life left in her. I know you did but don't forget to show checking the oil lol.
Yeah... Checking the oil is important on the first starts but I sometimes forget to record everything.
WOO HOO!! 11:02pm! Totally worth staying up to watch this. THANKS FOR saving ANOTHER old FORD from the junk pile, Brother! God bless.
Yep... she is goine to be a runner... Thanks for watching.
Great car and lots of fun. The 4 doors are in demand with so many of the 2 door models either restored or canabalized for parts.
Very true!
4-door cars are UNDERrated!
Man, I prefer 4 door's !
AWESOME
Thank you! Cheers!

Yeah she will run !
Barked, Fired, and finally run.
Beautiful car! Love the old Fords! That’s the crew cab edition!
Yes indeed!

I used to ride to high school in andole galaxie like this 4 door it had a 390 it would run petty good like them 289s
The 390 is a great engine too.
Sure hope you will do a resurrection supply/tool kit video. I always learn so much from every video yall do.
We will have to do that... I still need to pick up a few item myself and then I will get it up and going... good start kit video.
@@RevStoration please premier that video when you do publish it. I'll get a notification. Love your content. Big big fan
You can take 2 or 3 inch pipe run a chain threw it and tow your rigs home .As long as uou keep that pipe streight no brakes required just need a driver .brought many home that way
We have done that for short distances and it works... but oh if the chain comes off...
I take balen wire go threw the chain and wrap it around the back of the clasps best to know when the cops change shifts lol

I would take the fuel line off and get a small tank for fresh gas. Cool that you got it going.👍

Hope this video brought back sweet memories
Will See You!! On The NEXT! One
Thanks for watching as always.
when starting Ford autolite carbs flood easy. pedal down once then start, if no hold pedall to floor.
You're right old Freddy weiland with his old Ford 464 wheel drive 44 inch motors he said pump it twice and hold it to the floor and she'll fire up every time
True... But this one was not getting enough fuel... I usually pump 2 or 3 times and they fire up. When everything else is right...
Well, having great experience with these I’ve gotta put in my ten cents. If it’s warm, no gas pedal pumping needed. If it’s cold, one full stroke of the pedal sets the choke, which releases after the heater hose running along the choke coil warms up that coil enough that it rotates and releases the step cam for a regular idle speed. Cold start idle should be about 900 rpm, war, start about 700rpm. Now a hot start may require a WOT position to fire off. They get heat soak
Rev on them old 67 fords Sometimes u have to push up on the gear selector to get them to start i had one like that god bless
Yep the old Neutral Relay Switch...
Maybe Nikki T will invite you to her next video! Ha Ha! Did not sound half bad and old cars sometimes need a little extra work, kind of like me in the morning. All is good!
So true... I do not always want to crank and run either... Well, I never wanna run unless NikkiT hollers that Supper is ready... Thanks for watching.
I was 8 when these were new. Nice cars. In 69 my dad bought a new LTD. LOADED. really nice car, 390 v8, moved the car very well. A real freeway cruiser! I remember it had hideaway headlights, vacuum actuated, when you turned them on and off you would hear a hissing sound inside the car. We had it i think 10 years, when he sold it. Those headlights never gave a problem.
Sweet rides for sure. Hopefully it brought back some good memories.
That's the factory skim coat they used to get a smooth surface for paint. All of them have that coat even my 17k orig mile 66 4 door. The way you have to tell if its been hit is look inside the trunk area at the backside of the quarter and see if its boogered up. That one looks pretty darned straight and in decent condition. The one thing that has been pretty much constant on the ones I've dealt with is the rear window leaking and the rear floor pans, trunk floor and underseat areas get cancer in them real bad. If its not already eaten away make sure to clean the trunk rain gutter out and keep leaves n stuff out of there. Once it gets holes or the rear window seal starts leaking the pans take a beating quickly
Yep.. the trunk lid had leaves but thank goodness it wasn't getting water in it... I will clean it out... The back was bumped... the inside from the trunk is noticeable... I will probably do a little metal work and re skim it... Thanks for watching friend.
Those Ford's always run
If they have gas, fire, and timing.... they will run.
@@RevStoration Yes sir.I have a 67' 390 and when it gets warmed up it makes a tapping noise now...Wondering if it's a collapsed lifter or not.Never looked into it yet.
Reminds me of a 1967 Ford Galaxy that little old Mrs Brooks had owned many years ago. Just a person from the past, now deceased.
I hope it brought back some good memories.
Love the channel rev keep em coming my brother God bless!
Thanks! Will do! God Bless.
Man what a score! Love the old Galaxy's with the stacked headlights for sure. Like your grampas but with a little extra door for family outings. Nice! There's another TH-cam feller Thunderhead289 who has a couple of Galaxy's as well. You on the hunt for a more peppy motor in the future? Either for this one or for your Granddad's would be fun to watch you and your Dad do that. Motor and paint. Love the old bench seat cars. :-) Big old puffy benches were the best. Like driving while on the couch lol :-) Rock on Rev!
The bench seats are great for everything but a quick turn.... slide all over them things as a kid... Thanks for watching Robert.
really like your videos aand look forward to watching them each week,be nice to see you and your dad actually finish a car and get it back on the road.wish here in the uk i could pick up some bargains like you and your dad keep up the good work and take care.
I drive Ole Puddin just about everyday... we will finish them eventually.. All that is needed is time and money... keep watching..
Hey Rev ! I think she will run ! Good luck from PA ! Where’s the old man ?
Thanks Tina... He will be on the next one.
Rev , loving the channel would like to offer a bit of an fyi.. clearly you are in to the vintage Fords, just a tip when you are servicing the pre-1975s with conventional ignition , there was a serious issue with the breaker plates inside the distributor ( the points attach to this)and if the plastic bushings wore seriously worn, the points COULD move around even if properly set/gapped and cause starting /running issues just something might want to keep eye on
Yep... I have seen this happen... Thanks for the heads up though... I do not always think about that.
My parents had a white 67 four door Custom 500 Ford. It had the 289, automatic, and manual steering. Us teenage boys liked it, because it was the first V8 family car.
Hopefully, I will get my family in this car before long.
My late grandfather had a car very similar to this car when he was a police officer
I cant wait to get this one on the road.
My brother in law had a 67 Galaxie exactly like that one! Sold it around 1973 or so when he bought a new Ford truck.
Billy... hopefully this brings up some good memories.
1967 Ford Galaxie 500 4-Door Sedan (production 130,063). The color appears to be Brittany Blue. The data code plate on the door jamb will give lots of information.
I bet their are not too many left of those left... Probably turned a few of them into lawnmower blades by now.
@@RevStoration The taillights on them are beautiful as is the instrument cluster... great design. And it was the last year for vertical headlights.
67 was a great year for Fords!!! I might be a bit biased though.
I like em all too.
Rev also Nicky T jumps when sparks happen when had that sparkling happen to and got nice car too! Also what's a snail and black board on wall when wet together got in common? They have slide to play with together with slippery slide when wet ! Hope see dad out in more videos again to Rev :) and he enjoy too!
He will be around without a doubt... thanks for watching.
Love the video yall keep up the good work enjoying every video yall put out can't wait to whats next.
Thanks so much.. we have a fun time with it.
For a 67 thats worth haveing a car show
Justin... we want to do a little more work on her and them she will be ready.
First time I ever seen a paper filter in a oil bath breather
I am glad that it was there... It kept the rats and their mess out of the carb and intake.
Another good one Rev, I always wondered if the horn button on the 67 was a first run air bag it's huge. Waiting on the next one keep it up bro!!
No, that was their first attempt at a padded steering wheel 😂👍🇺🇸 Seriously though, no joke....
The horn is huge and padded but no air bag... Just a softer way to put a knot on your head... Thanks for watching.
I had a 65 custom the model just below the galaxy in trim level. It had a 352 under the hood with a tremendous amount of torque! Had nearly 120,000 on the odometer when I purchased it and after a water pump belts and hoses the car ran like a dream. It was sitting outside for 3+ years the lifters somewhat stuck and smoked like a chimney until two days after running it around. It had so much torque I had to put in solid motor mounts DIY version because they did not make solid mounts? The four barrel carburetor was excellent until the plastic linkage broke for the secondaries. I think Fort was experiencing some primer issues during this time, because mine was an Arizona vehicle this surface rust was ridiculous to remove! Even a belt sander with 80 grit sandpaper and a 9 inch angle grinder with a wire wheel it was beyond a brutal workout. The front bushings and steering components were shot and would love to known about putting the Mustang 2 frontend on it. The rear end was sagging pretty badly so a water pipe spacer went under the coils, along with coil over socks very stiff rear end great for cornering because this car was extremely tail heavy especially in the rain! Along with some light truck tires in a homemade trailer hitch this thing was a beast. To teach me how to do drum brakes my grandpa taught me how to do the first one and I had to do the rest of them oh joy that was. Drove that car three times across this country and unfortunately it's demise was a scrapyard and why would I say that? The galaxies were always higher on the collectibility and the customs were not a lot more rare but not sought after never knew why. Not bad for somebody at 17 and to give anybody an idea of its size is 20 feet bumper-to-bumper almost the same dimensions as a full-size pickup. Even if I still had the vehicle it's 30 gallon tank would be gone and only days at $1.25 per gallon it would take $100 bill today to fill it today. It's sad and unfortunate many of these old dinosaurs turned into scrap or unusable rust buckets. Today's car's would not survive 30 years in some back lot especially in Arizona with the heat!
Thanks for watching.
Yessir good times.
Yes sir.
I love galaxies I have 2 of them 65 4 door 289 and a 65 2 door xl 390 and I am a ga boy
We are a little ways from Columbus but you are welcome anytime.
289's were dang near indestructible and sometimes it may take some tlc but they will run no matter how long they sit
I had a 67 500 2 door with a 289
You can also make a 289 pretty beefy as well. Heat it up a bit and peel the rubber off the wheels with a 4 door. Great sleeper cars and the 2 door fastback and the 4 door are the same size.
Im sure this one has some life left in her as well. Thanks for watching.
Hi rev I live in Portugal. And let you know that you have great success in here. Don't forget to say hi to your dad. Is great.
