- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ส.ค. 2023
- This coral pink 1959 Ford Galaxie 500 is loaded with options and vintage goodness. It was stored indoors for decades, and this 1950s classic car is in remarkable condition. Can we get it back on the road, and back into service?

You know you've made it when you don't have to risk losing the shop anymore
Now now don't get ahead of yourself
@@PoleBarnGarage🤣😂
The cars are getting better and better. The quality of the repairs has also went tremendously up. The shop is safe.
U know u have made it when u own a "jaaaag!" Or two! "Becouse ....it's a Jaaaag"!
Mortgages don't disappear
Father and son pulling up to a cruise night in matching cars. I don't know who would be more proud of who. Father seeing a man forming in front of him. Son sharing this milestone with his father . Much Enjoyment seeing accomplishments good/bad. Time well spent together cherish it.
That’s great advice!
I hope he keeps it. I think his kid(who I suspect hit a growth spurt) wants that car.
👍
$2400 for this beauty is an absolute steal. The headliner hasn't fallen, the seats are pristine and even the old tube radio works! But maybe I'm biased because the bodywork is in such amazing shape (especially for an unrestored car) and i *hate* doing bodywork. I'd much rather work on something with bad mechanicals and tgats in good cosmetic condition than vice versa.
I've said it once and I'll say it again your son is an absolute credit to you really impressed with how he just gets on with doing work on his car if he needs help he will ask but he will always try and do it for himself first !
Love watching you guys work together of cars and trucks it's like working with my dad
And I miss him every day
So thank you 😊
Someone needs to buy Dalton a few more boat tanks so he can run more then on car at a time.
I only have 2, definitely need to stock up
@@PoleBarnGarage boat junk yards? Road trip to the coast!!!!!!!!
or a fuel tank sponsor lol
Boat tank or JAG tank!!!
😂😂yes.. agreed
Excellent deal. It's rare to find a car that needs as little as it does. JD sure is maturing. He will have his own channel in no time.
Don't know if you're a dad or not, Norman (I suspect you are). For me, a milestone moment in fatherhood was when my daughter began to confidently engage in some good natured "bustin' balls" of her old man. It's all part of the process of your kid growing up, developing aspects of their own personality, and it's cool seeing JD do this with Dalton. Agree 100% JD will have his own successful channel before too long.
You can see that JD, even at his young age, really watched & learned from his Dad over the years. Well done 👍
Yeah, too bad he don't know the difference between a 59 Fairlane 500 Galaxie and a Ford Galaxie 500 that did'nt come around until 61 or 62.
@@markreisen7038 most people don't even know what a Galaxie is. I've been told I have a "sweet GTO" driving my 66. Regardless of what he called it he's getting it back on the road. That's all that matters
@@flyingace5057 what you mean is most gm guys don't know what a Galaxie is as this was one of Ford's popular models for 2 decades ,so it only matters to people in the know and not some stuck who doesn't care to know the difference. Ford On.
His dad doesn't know anything
@@joshswitzer3327his dad has been working on cars since he was JD’s age don’t be coming on TH-cam saying crap that isn’t true
"Made by someone in a Chinese factory by someone who saw a picture of one once." - PRICELESS!!!!
Honda should take note, the paint hasn't fallen off.
Even as a Toyota guy I agree lol
It's the lead
I have an 8th gen civic, so I know exactly where you’re coming from. Lol
In their defense, the EPA didn't come along for another 12 years.
Automakers have to comply with the EPA, hence the garbage paint we're dealing with now.
Paint on my 12 year old Toyota is garbage as well.
I have 2 Dodge Ram 1500, Red PUs. Both are 2005 models, both have never been garaged. One the Clear Coat is peeling badly. The other still looks like new after a wash. Difference? Bad Clear Coat - Michigan Truck, Good Clear Coat & Paint? Florida truck until 8 yrs. ago.
Gotta say this is the best membership on TH-cam. The funniest most entertaining car repair show on TH-cam. I guess it's because I can relate to who y'all are as people that translates so well. Look, as a disabled combat veteran who's permanently disabled and can't get out much I feel ever present and alive with y'all there. So, thank you. It's a real joy to be supporting the Americana that pours out of your channel. Keep it up.
What would be cool would be finding a rare big block with dual quads to throw in a ride and film how all that's done. Maybe a super cobra jet 428 with tri-power or cross ram jet 440??? I'd even throw in some more duckets to the channel for such an episode/series. Much love ❤
You want multi carb? Hmmm. I can probably make that happen
@@PoleBarnGarage bruh! Let's go! Epic
I'm so impressed with his son being so knowledgeable and engaged. To me that's the sign of a great father. Wonderful video.
Retired 62 year old auto tech here. Dalton, you crack me up. Keep up "The Jag" schitck.....it's funny as hell and doesn't get old, ever! This coral '59 is a sweet ride, and I used to hate '59's. Kudo's to you and your son, whom you must be proud of. Well done!
You definitely need to keep this and do father/son car shows! It's not every day you see two 59 Fords, side by side!
22:47 that build sheet has got to be the most well preserved 64 year old thing on the planet, we may not know what that sawdust was but now we know what it's really good for
For a young guy, JD adds alot to the conversation. Great video!
JD is sure sprouting up! He's gaining some great mechanical skills and life lessons. 💥💯
I cannot believe that you got this car for what you paid for it. It’s in such great shape, and it’s going to match J D’s very well. I always like the look of these cars.
And Dalton and JD scored on the "59"!!! Don't know why, but the coral actually has really grown on me...beginning of video I didn't think much of that color...but...I'm really diggin it now!!! 🇺🇲💯✌
My brother got a 56 Ford for high school graduation gift in 1960. Later he got a 1963 Galaxie 500. Loved that car!
I'm impressed by your growing car collection.
I cannot get over how nice that car is especially for that price. Great job!
That paint color screams 1950’s such a nice car and with a little suspension and brake work she’ll be standing tall again 👍
Watching you beat those dents out of the rear quarter reminds me of an adventure last fall...
I was on my way to the fire station responding to a call one night in "Megabomb III", the $500 Honda civic. I came up to the first crest on a hill, saw a deer, and said (out loud of course, to the deer on the side ov the road) "you'd better stay there. No f@#%ing chance I'll be able to stop if you-"
And the bugger jumped right in front of me, landed on the hood and went up over the roof.
I let off the brakes, car kept rolling straight... I touched the gas, motor still running... no signs of smoke or odd behaviour... no lights on the dash... so I just kept on going.
It was a false alarm, so the first truck was already on its way back, so a buddy followed me back to see where the deer was, we found it about 30 feet off the road, dead.
I spent the next morning prying up and beating on the upper rad support until it looked good-ish, then laid the hood on the lawn and started wailing on it with a 2x4 until it was straight enough to latch.
If it weren't for the inner reinforcement on it I probably could've got it looking pretty decent... but it was good enough for a $500 car that would never pass another safety inspection.
...and not too much later, buddy shows up at the post office where my wife works and dropped off a bunch of fresh deer steaks and deer burger for us 😂
That is an absolutely awesome car and in incredible condition. I hope you keep it and use it for more content. That interior is so cool. Cars back then had so much more character and style than cars today. They have their own unique personalities which makes the ownership experience something much more than just buying a set of wheels just to get you where you're going. Pity those days are gone but fantastic that you got that car and can take a step back in time to those good old days.
I love the fact that you and your son can show up at a car show in the future with the same cars that you worked on together.❤
Wow at how clean the trunk floor is and the lack of rust on this old girl Amazing Dalton 5:00 @Pole Barn Garage
My dad started selling Fords in 1957. This is quite the decked out rig for 1959. Padded Dash & Power Steering were not that common and the Cruise O Matic is definitely a rarity as the Ford O Matic 2 speed was still prevalent. Love that color! I don't recall seeing that coral as much as the blush pink of the era. You should love her, and if that car for that price crossed my path, I'd have it in my garage.
Congrats!! Please give her the love and respect she deserves. Grandma needs some pampering
1959 was a fine year for Ford..Great design..great engines..mighty fine cars..and very rare today.
Yes, you are correct, it's very rare to find a good Ford ; )
@@handyman1957 Every chevy guy until they run low on oil once click click click scrap, ran lots of fords low on oil got me home and was still good the next day, one time in a chevy last time to engine blew up.
Ah, don't get me wrong, what I meant by that is conferring to most of the newer ones, Chevy is included in that list too. They simply don't make em like they used to. I drive a 92 Silverado and have done all the work on that happy truck. It's all about preventive maintenance. I'll try not to run it dry : ) @@mrhappy8966
wow a galaxie that isnt completely rotten out, good find!
Love The Coral 2 tone 59 Ford Galaxie 500 Just gorgeous 59:03 appreciate the entertainment as always Would be cool to see them both crusing @Pole Barn Garage
We’ve recently run into the same issue with the Chinese master cylinders for my grandfather‘s 66 imperial convertible. He ordered one from rock auto and afterwords got one from O’Reillys. Neither of which were we ever able to get the brakes to work properly so he rebuilt the original one after finding a rebuild kit for a Chevrolet product that was plentiful with the correct bore size and now everything works perfectly.
Awesome addition to the Pole Barn Garage collection! What a find!
I think you found an amazing survivor car there! The price you got her for, amazazing! Great job! 😁
How old is that kid? He knows so much about cars. At such a young age, it's incredible. You must be a good brother teaching him all this. It's good that kids are learning about old-fashioned cars.
He's my son
I love late '50s tailfin cars. Everything looks so elegant, like they were made with pride to impress the world. Man, you stole that car for that price.
You need to have a bumper sticker made "It's NOT pink" 🤣 That is such a solid car. Great find.
Great video as always. But I'll ya what - JD absolutely adores you. The way he looks at you, works with you. You and he have a great relationship. Fathers and sons can be difficult and sometimes the relationship can be impossible. For you two, hang onto this for all it's worth, Dalton. Even if JD doesn't continue with car rehab, he will certainly know how should the need arise.
That’s pretty awesome. You were in someone’s way and they were more concerned that you were OK. Pretty cool you live in a community it’s like that. God bless America.
My favorite ford. I haven’t heard the sound of a hubcap departing in nearly 35 years. Yep, still sounds like yesterday. I always lost them going around curves😉
I'm not a Ford bloke by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm really taking a shine to the pair of '59s, mate. JD's beast still looks great and the Coral beast is such a fantastic example of a survivor. Hard to believe it sat for so long in the way the beast just got up and boogied like it was driven yesterday. Watching it do the long pulls from a distance while JD was filming from the side of the road was a magical thing to behold - even with a missing hubcap! Great video to watch, mate and a reminder than sometimes the old stuff is still far better to work with than the new, be it parts or the cars themselves. Shoes do take a few miles to wear back in on the drums and feel good than pads do on discs too. Had to remind myself of that fact just recently as well.....
It's gotta be a proud moment to see the young fella working to correct a problem on his own vehicle too, eh Dalton? What I found particularly telling was that he can now lean over the front fenders and reach things in the engine bay and his feet still touch the ground, whereas when the Fairlane was built, he'd have to hike himself up onto the fender and balance himself there to work on it. They don't stay young (or little) forever, do they? I remember my youngest helping me with the brakes when she had to have the seat pulled right forward and hang onto the steering wheel to push the pedal. Now, she gets in, adjusts the seat back a touch and has a quick and / or sharp rejoinder for any comments I make, while comparing my classics unfavourably with her own! I can see that starting already and more so in your own future, eh....! All the best.
I am and always will be
Wow, that's a great score. I knew the brakes would self heal after the blood sacrifice to the shop floor. The rear quarter isn't even that bad and the FE leak is standard Factree option. I'm excited to see what you do with it next.
You can also get an electric wiper motor for a '59. It was an option. That'll free up your fuel pump options
I personally love the new Ford. My grandfather had that same car, same color,4 door same interior and all. It was really nice. I had one of my worse nightmares as a child and that car was my hiding place in the dream. This vlog was a real treat for me as I've told you before, watching you is almost like reliving my childhood. You look similar to what my father did when I was JDs age, smoking a cigarette whilst working on cars and teaching car repairs at the same time, uncle's and other family hanging out around cars. That's what we need in this country again. More car controls and less remote controls.
Love the car. And that boy of yours is such a good kid. Very positive and helpful attitude.
Beautiful car. I think the dash is good without the pad. If you could paint match it, it would be perfect. JD is turning into a Ford expert. Excellent video
You and the boy are making some amazing memories! Live in the moment and reflect later on how much fun you are having!
It absolutely warms my heart to see your interactions with your son. It reminds me of my youth with my dad working on old cars. Of course back then they were just cars. LOL
Just happened upon your video after watching another video about a 59' Ford. This brought back so many memories. My first car was a 59' Ford Custom 300. It had the rounded rear windshield, less chrome, the 4 chrome birds on the rear quarters, and mine had the 292 Y block V8. Very quirky and terrible top end oiler engine.. Normally I think they came with an inline 6 at this trim level. It was my grandparents car they bought brand new, handed down to my dad and driven to California from North Dakota in 69', then I started restoring it with my dad in about 85'. I graduated in 87' and drove my grandmother to my graduation in her old car at about 85% restored. I love that your son has one. They are such great cars and, yes, total tanks! Mine was two tone green with a medium green bottom and mint green roof. I still miss it. Loved watching you guys work on this one and it's great you both have father / son matching 59's! Oh, and you stole it for $2,400! If you can even find one out here in So Cal, you'll pay through the nose for it. Probably 5X what you paid for yours in its condition. Thanks again for the video guys!
The more i watch this channel the more i like it and the more i like you and your son . Youre a good dad Dalton and JD is fortunate to have you as his father , i hope he knows that. I've pretty much been a single father even before my wife passed
Now thats a cool car and I'm loving JD's sarcasm. It seems he learnt from the best. 🤣👍
Yeah, he [JD] might think it's going un noticed, but I caught it too. Good call to bring light to the learned sacasm; 'like father like son' in this case, spot on.
My dads first car he worked on was a 59 ford. He had lots of memories with it. I Kinda like watching you guys working on these cars. Makes me think of him. Enjoy the cars. Happy wrenching.
Totally enjoyed watching you and Jd, my daddy had a 59 hard top convertible when I was a kid fully loaded, shiny black! All chromed out wide white walls and red black and white tricolor with a 352 police interceptor! I think it may have been his pride and joy!!! Lol keep it up and look forward to seeing more!👍
The first wheels actually looked pretty good on there, nice ride
I agree. They made it look faster
@ecplosiveboi Vroom Vroom.. 😂
That car is absolutely beautiful Dalton! Even more special that you and JD have the same year and can cruise them together
That is a hell of a find! To be honest I like the one. That you and your son did together better! The time love and devotion is what made the difference IMHO. This one is too nice right out of the box!
I absolutely love that ford! What a beautiful car. That color just screams 50’s. Glad to see her back on the road and in a loving home! Congratulations on the new ride!
Man that’s a cool car and the rims are perfect even if you said they were rollers.
I think they'd be good on JDs car because it's more of a custom
Bro i love you guys. Not only are you and your son hilarous, i love the fact he's such a gentleman, he doesn't talk back, doesn't disrespect you. Your a truly amazing father and one hell of a mechanic. I swear to god ive learned more from you then my buddies. Appreciate the content man look forward to more.🎉❤
Gotta tell ya man this is easily becoming my favorite channel on TH-cam. Thanks for the content really enjoy your videos.
Glad you enjoy it!
What a great find. Love the old Galaxies.
, 1959 was the first year they put the word Galaxie on the car, it actually wasn't a model yet,, just trim, it's a Fairlane 500/Galaxie
Several thousand Fairlane 500s with the exact same "C" pillar roof were produced late '58 and early in '59 without the word Galaxie on the car..
I never used to like the styling of the 59 Fords, except for the front end. Seeing yours in that beautiful Coral and white, I'm really liking the look of the 59's because of this video. Definately keep this 59. Put on new shocks, rebuild the front end and do some cosmetics and you'll have an exceptionally cool car. Love your videos.
Wow, it's in amazing condition! Will make a beautiful cruiser!!
Old style masters can/will bleed themselves over time, with just normal driving. I'm loving the Ford content!KEEP IT UP! 👍
I am impressed with the way you "Teach" JD about cars and life. There is no yelling, cursing but actually having patience and teaching. My dad was not very mechanically inclined so I didn't have any guidance. From an early age, about 5 years old, I liked taking things apart to figure out how they worked and trying to put them back together again. I work on my own car's and power equipment. What I don't know, I study and find out. It's great that JD has such a good teacher and mentor. You seem to have a lot of fun and work well together. Well Done.
POLE BARN GARAGE, YOUR MY HERO! You pick up these amazing cool cars that others might overlook. I AM SOOO JEALOUS OF THIS PURCHASE!!! You Rock Pole Barn!!!
First video I caught of yours. That coral survivor is on helluva cherry to find.
The best part is the amazing relationship you and your young man have. There's hope for humanity yet.😊
JD is quickly becoming the star of this show. love it.
I love seeing you teach your son your knowledge, your son by the time his 21 he will be a great car mechanic, he already knows the ropes and I'm glad his always helping you and learning everything you know great job my friend.
I'd imagine that dash had been padded with foam at some point, but being foam from the 50s it probably went the way of... well... foam from the 50s and turned into a fine dust shortly after this car was first parked. My uncle had some Lionel trains from that era and any foam accessories (mostly the foam cleaning pads you'd use on the track cleaning car) were basically powder by the time I got them in the late 2000s
Thoroughly entertaining as always! Great job you two!❤
I think this car and my 53 Ford have a lot in common! One was the price, and two is the brake situation. I put all new drum brakes and wheel cylinders on it last year, and that was a job. Haha. It stops good, but the pedal goes down a good ways. I hope you keep this car! I've always loved and wanted a 59 Ford!
I’ve always loved these cars, I guess it’s because it’s the first car I remember riding in as a toddler. What an amazing deal,on such a good car, love the coral color. That’s a keeper, you and your son will look cool together at the cruise ins.
Side note: really great to see someone making sure y’all were alright getting the hubcap
What a beautiful car! An absolutely amazing find.
Fix the death wobble and maybe check the trans filter/change the fluid and install some new clutches (aka throw some snake oil in it) and see if it comes around.
If it does maybe a road-trip is in order!?
Like father like son very cool watching you work together looks just like you God bless you both
We had a 58, green and white beast, as a little kid in the early 60,s, when you was messing with the brakes, I can still hear my Dad,s voice YELLING ,when my Mom would back out the driveway, NOT TO STOMP on the brakes, it tightened them up and used gas and wore them out faster, LOL. The old 58 and Mom never got along well, especially when cold and the choke would come off, and when the points would close up, I can remember getting pretty damn cold walking home about 6 miles one winter. The craziest thing though, Dad worked at McDonnell Douglas in St Louis Mo, every year I can remember Mom and Dad getting the old car loaded up with a Wenzell tent, prepping the car, new oil and repacking wheel bearings ,adjusting brakes, and off we would go out west for 2 or 3 weels, to Colorado, Wyoming , Utah etc, and standing on the " hump" watching gas prices, in gas wars, I can remember 26.9!! Coming down Rabbit Ear pass one time the old 58 Ford sounded like it dropped a rod or something, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK like some one taking a ball peen hammer to the inside of the engine, I will never forget the look on my Mom and Dads face, and then the knocking quit, he pulled over at the bottom of the pass and checked things out and never done it again back to Wentzville Mo!!
You and JD make a great team, and he's gonna be able to look after his own cars very soon.
love the matching ford. its so close to perfect you should really fully fix that quarter panel and fix the suspension. like you said what else is there to do? now father and son have matching boats lol
Quarter could be fixed easily enough. Blending the paint into the door to match the original might be really hard to make it look right on the car. Hopefully I at least have the trim
@@PoleBarnGarage Yea I imagine van sickle doesn't have coral paint lol. There are some top notch color match paint experts out there but I assume that's original lacquer paint so blending could be a nightmare.
@@PoleBarnGarage, For matching old paint, I have used those paint match color camera/guns that you put on the car and take pictures of the paint and bring that information back to a paint dealer/part store, and they'll mix it custom for you. I have had very very good success with that, And there isn't extra charge unless you want to have them put that paint in rattle cans.
quite the entertaining channel, good humor all along. My first car was a '59 two door Galaxie, that I got in 1966. There had been a fire in the back seat and the car pretty well had the wheels run off it by young marines on leave. I learned a lot on that car, had a journeyman mechanic two door away that helped me a bunch. That car had a 332 with a two barrel and cruise-o-matic transmission. It was a boat but it meant transportation and freedom to go places, I loved it. My dash had split from sun, that crumbly stuff is decayed foam rubber. I got some really heavy gauge cloth backed vinyl and contact cement, re-covered that dash. I had glasspacks and the sound of your car was immediately recognizable, I see them on it too.
What an absolute beauty of a car. The first shot after the car wash shocked me. You got a shine out of her! That paint looks incredible.
I got a buzz when JD showed up driving his car to park next to the new one, lol.
In previous videos of yours, I learned how brake pipes can collapse internally and stick brakes on, and in this one I learned that there are leading and trailing brake shoes.
A football dent popper! WTF! That is such a simple idea. That is three things I have learned. Pneumatics are mighty powerful.
I'd be so proud to own that car. She is being very compliant, and apart from that one quarter, it is in spectacular shape.
You have got to keep it. A real time capsule.
Morning cigarette and PBG!.
What a absolute buet of a motor!. Wish we had more motors like that here in the UK.
To be fair if the UK had cars like these, you could only fit approximately 3 of them on the road at any given moment
@@PoleBarnGarage got that right, just another reason why I want to move to the states!
All those majestic rigs out there would make for a bloke living his best life! Keep up the good work you guys 💪
@@PoleBarnGarage😂😂
@@RiffRaff160 Mike Brewer from 'Wheeler Dealer' came over for awhile just to get in on some rust free California Relics and Classics. But like a good Brit he saw what the Fudge was happening over here and was able to return home.
@@claztube ah yea, I don't watch that guy, or top gear etc.
The few programs I have watched with Mike brewer he just stands about talking and then loses money on the motors he sold. I'd rather watch someone in a back yard without all the flashy tools using his knowledge and common sense.
But there again, Dalton DOES have DeWalt tools 🫢
Wow the vacuum Wipers work Man everything on this old girl works impressive Dalton @Pole Barn Garage
Love to see your son working along with you learning! Priceless!
What a great car we definitely need to see videos on the rear panels been fixed and fuel tank sorted also the fuel pump getting replaced or fixed . And then seeing both fords out together
Great score! That car is in pretty amazing shape. Gotta love the Ford FE perpetual exhaust leaks.😅
Lol... Brings back so many great memories.
Never had one with a good condition manifold, it's just a part of em
I know it's a stretch but getting that new dash pad, well the old girl deserves it.
Fix the quarter for sure, the rest is too nice to leave it
Awesome car, love the colour, great too that's a match for JDs.
Another superb video!
Yeah, if I find the time I'll fix the quarter proper. I think I could probably have the dash pad custom made for less than $525! I don't know where these companies get off charging prices like that
Newbie here, really enjoyed this video. Glad you are teaching your son to enjoy old cars like mine did way back when. I was 2 yrs old when this Ford was new. Glad you and your son have alike cars as well! Surprised me.
Thanks for the Memories!, I had a 59 Fairlane 2 Door Sedan for 23 Years "1993-2016", It originally was a 292 with a 3 on the Tree, That got replaced with a 390 with a C6 I took out of my 1976 F100, It had A/C, Electronic Ignition, Alternator, Electric Wiper Motor, I did put Power Brakes on it but never got around to Power Steering, It would have had to have a Bracket made to put the old style Pump on that later 390 "1976 Pump and Bracket wouldn't work", Love the 1959 Fords!!
Man, it seems like JD is growing up so fast, yikes 😳, time is flying!!! Anyway, JD is doing a great job and he's looking more and more like a grown adult. He's becoming very smart and handsome, the envy of all the women in his life because, he Zoolander model material all the way!! Anyway, love you both and you are doing an amazing job with JD!
This is one hell of an awesome find
That's one of the nicest cars that old I've seen in a while, great deal!
I'd just keep her and probably drive her back and forth to work once a week, keep going and you'll be able to drive a different classic car every day. Now that you don't have to worry about losing the shop. No matter what Great Job Thanks 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
First-time viewer, great video. It was so great to see your son into what you are doing. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍
Thank you! Will do!
That is a very nice classic, and i think it deserves a right quarter, a pair of exhaust manifold gaskets, and tyres matching the car.
Just know that what you paid for it in the way it sits it would be worth at least 3 to 4 times as much on this side of the atlantic. Maybe that makes it easier showing more cash into it :)
Quarter is fixable, rest of it will definitely happen though
Great find, and great story of putting it back on the road!
I'm 77 now and in 1964 I had a 59 Galaxie 2 Dr hardtop.
352 inch with a three speed and overdrive...bought a blown up 427" out of a drag car with a broken rod wrapped around its neighbor...took the engine to Junior College machine shop and rebuilt it with parts from a junk yard.
First time I put my foot in it the tranny exploded...back to another junk yard and got everything from the blowproof bell housing to the nine inch rear end for $275.00
Removed the five spoke mags and replaced with steel wheels and stock hubcaps..only tell was a set of "cheater slicks"
Left the column linkage in it and would place a leather jacket over the 4 sp. Shifter.
Drag raced Chevy gassers and won...told the drivers it was all stock 352...the look on their face was priceless!
We called these kind of cars "sleepers"
Lovely car, you got a great deal on it
That thing is freaking awesome, coral paint and all!!
Or salmon
Technically I believe it's geranium
When I was a young kid in the early 60's we had that exact car. Thanks for the video!
I love that coral ‘59 Ford. My Dad bought that same model in 1961 and we took many trips in it. A lot of memories, including the lack of air conditioning 😢. It’s a beauty and hope you will continue bringing up to par.
