I can appreciate the sentimental affection foryou have for this car. My mother's was three years out of nursing school when she bought her first car. It was a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 fastback. She was from Chattanooga but moved to the hills of Eastern Kentucky for her first nursing job. In 68 or 9, she took a job in Orlando, FL. By 71, she had moved to Los Angelas, CA. She drove that 67 from one end of Interstate 10 to the other. That car made three trips across the country between LA and Chattanooga. Then in 72 she returned to Kentucky to the same hospital she first worked at again. During this trip it was a permanent move since she and my dad got married and I came along in 75. As for the 67, it was the family car till it was replaced in 76. But she kept the car till the late 90s when she sold it. It had been parked for almost 20 years but the new owner got it back on the road for a short time until he totaled it. It was white with blue interior and a 390 V8. My father passed at the end of 2002 and my mother passed in 2013. Anytime I see a Galaxie or Fairlane for that matter from that era, I have to stop and take a look.
I love the stories that come with sharing these cars. Thanks for watching.
Seeing an old car back on the road brings a smile to my face id rather see that than the crusher
Amen.. me too.
Different Mexico México lindo
You should get the old man a pressure washer clean them old cars
He has one... we will get to washing this one off before long.
It would be awesome to see a "First Wash" video. Thanks for the video!
You got it!
Mr. Rev's dad you're right about being together. Ya gotta talk and enjoy each other's company....
This episode has meaning for me.
It shows that a father and son can still be friends and work together as father and son....
You both are truly blessed.
Thanks for sharing!!
Howard, we enjoy our company 99% of the time... the other 1% we laugh about later.
Absolutely love it!!! I started to get emotional when “the old man” did.
You should have heard the phone call after he watched the video... I broke up too.. Thanks for watching Jeff.
Your channel warms my heart. My daddy has been gone 10 years. He was my best friend and supporter. I know you cherish these times. It shows through. I remember the day my dad drove home a 67 Galaxy. Until that time it was the cleanest, newest car he had ever been able to buy. Keep doing what you're doing and hello from Oklahoma.
Kevin, I lived away from my Daddy for almost ten years and since I have been back closer to home. I have baptized him and got to spend a bunch of time with him and Mama. I do not take it for granted. Thanks for sharing your story.. it means a bunch to us to hear it. Thanks.
My Dad passed away almost 18 years now... Rev you and the ole man make me realize how much I miss the bickering and hollering, give em a big hug for me! :)
Robert, I am enjoying the time we have. Thanks Robert.
Those old ford's never die, they just wait patiently for a little love
So true... glad she is rolling again.
Seeing you and your dad work on cars reminds me of me and my Dad. I remember helping him rebuild the engine on our Family 1950 Olds Rocket 88 when I was 8 yrs old. Lost dad to lung caner back in 2003. I still remember my time with him. Cherish every moment you have with your Dad and I know you do Pastor Dave.
Thanks again Larry!
Nice old Galaxie---back in 1969, my brother bought a 1966 Galaxie 2 door hardtop, it had the 289v8, automatic, power steering. The color was tan outside with a beige interior. It was a very good car, also made good gas mileage. I love those old Ford's. I have a 1967 Galaxie 4 door sedan, it has the 390v8 and only 25,000 miles. It is a gold lime green color. Not olive green. I bought it from a retired minister, that lived close to Sioux Falls SD. The car was bought new from Hall Ford, Sioux City Iowa. The car was made at the Ford factory plant in St. Paul MN.. Bought the car about 15 years ago. Keep up the good work!
Gene, I bet she is a beautiful ride. Thanks for sharing.
Time to give that ole girl a bath! I think it is great! Real happy for you!
Next installment in this series of videos.
Definitely a good candidate for a full restoration, behind the fence is is that a falcon or a fairlane hiding?
65 falcon 289
Thanks for watching.
My dad had a 65 ranchero with a 289 those things last for ever
Definitely get this ole girl restored that car deserves it and we love to see it.
We will throw some dollars at it for sure.
You and the old man work so well together. Always a pleasure to watch.😀
Thanks for watching Tim.
Rev, I have to say, that video about brought me to tears sir. It felt like it was my granddaddy’s car I was watching come back to life. To see your dad and you get so emotional really got to me. I’m so happy for you both. The Galaxie 500 lives again!! I’m proud of you and for you. She’s a runner again. Can’t wait to see more. Be well guys. Big Al.
Big Al, you are the best. We enjoy making the content and honored that folks like you watch.
This car is worthy of a restoration, for your grandpa :)
She will be brought back to life. Thanks for watching.
I love seeing these old cars restored, they were made when cars had shape, style and character.
I agree Tom.. We love these models too!
Seeing what this car means to your dad really got to me. I hope that you're able to restore this one to it's former glory and make your dad a nice daily driver out of it. It's a solid base for a full restore it looks like.
Jim, we are going to throw a few dollars at it and see where it ends up.
I'm pretty much come to the conclusion the Galaxie is off the table for purchase anytime soon.
Here is a little backyard mechanic tip, park the car on a large tarp, makes finding dropped small parts and tools easy peasy. Keeps unwanted liquids from leaching in the ground as well, plus makes a clean place to crawl around underneath when needed. Fantastic job Gents.
The tarp idea is a great one... WE may put that into practice.
You are so lucky to work with your dad, I lost mine back in 1984 . Miss him every day . Treasure your father.
I agree Robert and I do.
The sound of that is just heaven, and the way it starts hell a new ford wouldn't start that quick. Beautiful love love love it.
Thanks for watching, Jack.
Unbelievable, after 30years still running strong. I like to see it sprayed and looking smart, well done guys🙏👍
We will throw a few dollars at it..
That is so awesome to be able to revive a little of your grand daddy’s past. God rest his soul and God bless you all.
My favorite video yet because we got the car running again.. God Bless.
I'm very happy to see your daddy smile and enjoying with his daddy's car .. God bless you'll.
Thanks so much Salman.. I am honored too!
This is my favorite channel Love it so much God Bless my friends 😁😁😁😁😁
Mary, I am so honored to hear that. We enjoy making the fun content.
Rev, I can't explain how happy it makes me to see that Galaxie running and driving! Gosh I love that car! Best of luck with her. Keep up with her, take care of her and she'll take care of you.
GREAT video! Love your content. Can't wait to see your Dad's pit garage progress into a REALLY cool shop! God bless.
Lou, the pit is coming along nicely.. We need to back fill, get the port built on top and then guard rails... If the sun comes out the Ole Man will have it completed before long.
Is that a "57 Ford in the backround in the beginning?
Yep, we will get to it before long.
@@RevStoration Awesome! Not many of them left, glad to see it being brought back to life ! Love the channel !
Love the positivity in all you do. I’m in the middle of restoring grandpas 1987 F150. Amazing the emotions an old vehicle can stir up. New subscriber from Ohio.
Thanks for the sub Shane. Hope your project comes along well. Thanks for watching.
Good lord what a Ford indeed, we’ve got a Ford truck that’s been in the family 24 years, so I know how cars can be family!! Cherish every moment you have with the ole car and each other, there’s nothing more important than family!!
They become family as well... They get a name and they get a home...
*When working in the dirt, or lawn always have a fishing magnet handy for when you drop something...*
WE had a magnet and still could not find it... One was brass so magnet was a no go. But we found the clip after we stopped filming.
I am so happy to see you all reached 10k!! Congratulations! So much fun watching you both restore these old cars. You got me all emotional over here. Like most have already said in the comments, reminds me of helping my dad while he worked on his old cars. Great memories!
Erin, Thanks a bunch for watching.. This has been a crazy journey but surely a fun one. Thanks for watching.
A 65 Galaxy has a great history in my family. Thank you for posting these.
Mine too.. we love this car and I would like one myself.
It's great that you get to work with dad you can always learn something from him ,you are both doing a great job God bless you both
I learn from him often.. most of the time it is what to do and sometimes it is what not to do. But we still have fun with it.
Old Fords never die!!
I am excited for you guys to get your grandfather's Galaxie running and moving again. Got to clean her up and restore her. ✌
I like to use PB blaster on those brake lines, weird someone would put loctite or something on them. Also get a container when you got nuts, bolts or screws. That way you don't lose them.
Great idea with the container... Thanks for watching as always.
@@RevStoration yeah working out there in the leaves, real easy to lose stuff.
Love seeing my hubs so happy!
Hope we can have another one at the house to work on with my "prime rib!" Love ya, Babe!
Thank you for the smiles and the best line ever! "Good Lord what a Ford!"
I think I am going to use that one again for sure. Thanks for watching.
Even though I am a mopar guy, I still really enjoy your videos. Anytime an old classic car is brought back to life makes me happy no matter what make it is. It's great that you and your dad can share this time together doing something you both seem to love. I believe I did see a mopar sitting in front of the Galaxy. I think about a 78 Dodge Diplomat or Plymouth Fury. Any plans for that? When are we going to a cleaning of the Galaxy?
Dale that is a Chevy Caprice. She can be a runner too.. We will get her going before long.
I'm not crying....its my allergies!! Ya know what Rev - I knew this video was gonna be a good one, but I'm here to tell ya, this was by far the BEST video I have ever watched on TH-cam. I literally went from laughing out loud at the Ol Man starting it to interrupt you at the beginning to tears of joy when he was driving down the road for the first time...haha and him talking about the drive in date--priceless!!! Absolutely loved every minute of it. Can't wait for the next one...hopefully we'll get to see it get a good ol pressure wash bath. As always, please tell everyone there that Darren in TX said hey!
Darren, I am honored that you have enjoyed it... It was a fun one to put together. We had a blast. More to come.
Love seeing the ole man happy✌
Me too.
Good episode! Father - Son combination, your Grandad would be proud.
We hope so.. Thanks for watching.
Nothing wrong with getting a little emotional, Mr. Old Man. Just keep on being yourself!
Harold, I agree..
Yes, cars can do that, especially a long termer. Full of memories, see?
Great to see such passion and sentimentality for this lovely car, your grand daddy is certainly cruising in heaven with a huge grin..
Couldn't agree more, thanks for watching Richard!
We are grateful that you bring us along as you work, brings back memory's of working with brothers and uncles as we worked on our cars. Thanks, Guys.
I am honored that it brings up some good memories.
What a crew of hootin n hollering fellas,you gave me a serious lump in my throat when your pops voice started to crackle with happy emotion seeing his dads car move under its own power.plus it still has a good roar when you open her lungs.glad you still have him to make memmories with mines been gone six yrs..and i remember handing him coat wire to hang up a dragging muffler on adventure he took the family to a resiviore on wooded rutted back road.it was a beatufull place to picnic n play.think i learned a few cuss words i wasnt to know on that trip.but the 66 impala got us there n back with dads handywork.so yup i can relate!!im older now than he was then,maybe a young twenty ieght.me im 57 now.what a journey.godbless rev!!!!snooky pa.
Allen, glad you enjoy our extreme craziness.
Love seeing these older cars going again an cleaned up an on the road once again . That exhaust on it is really something else best cheapest exhaust u can buy to put on a older v8 an make it sound good .
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching.
Fantastic!!! Watching your series makes my day allways. Would be fun to see it degreased and pressure washed, and cleaned up inside to see how the car really looks like. Enginebay cleanup too. Great job 👌🙏👏👏👏
We will have to get to it before long. Thanks for watching. She needs it for sure.
Thanks again for the vids! reminds me of teaching my son when he was 16 about cars. We spent so much quality time together working on his first car, a 1983 mustang. We continue to (mostly him) to work on my Ranger and his 73 F150. God Bless!
That is awesome, Don!
i spent a lot of time with my dad cutting fire wood and going fishing he past in 1998 i miss him ! enjoy these times you have with the old man as this life goes by fast. in a short time you will be the old man !( old guys rule) God bless keep safe
Robert... we have set the hook on a many fish together... Glad this brought back some good memories.
Bacon biscuit???
Oh, I can almost taste it!!
Ah, the mayonaise master cylinder!!!
Y'all got me grinnin' from ear to ear!
( If you will ).
Rev, I'm wondering if you were to take a car from today, park it for as long as your cars have sat, and see if THEY could be started and driven around....
Great video, great to see your dad and you this happy!!!
If I may, precious memories!!!
Stay well...
Cars today would be much harder to start in the future... without a doubt..
you guys living in an older car paradise. I love the show!!
Thanks Serge...
Love it! Be sure to video the pressure washing on her! So satisfying to see the years of mold running off!
Will do!!
My dad had a 65 with 289 automatic 4 door Blue . My grandpa had A 65 6 cylinder 3 speed 4 door white.God-bless you guys
Thanks for watching, James!
Sold my 04 Dodge 2500 Cummins in fear of the money pit to come when engine or trans did break down. My dad had his old 97 F250 7.5L/460 gas saver sitting in the field he wasn’t using anymore... so I paid him for it. And been replacing parts and getting it road worthy.. wife asked me how much you gonna spend? My reply “as much as it takes. “ just simply enjoy driving my dads old truck even if I’m 40years old. Ain’t gotta be a young kid to see your dad has found memories of his dads car. Love y’all channel keep it up!
Justin, we get it... I remember this car being my Granddaddy's and my Daddy's car. We both have some fond memories of this car. Thanks for watching friend.
Love this show.
Thanks Steve.
That was a neat video. You should name this episode “We Brake for Bacon Biscuits”. Enjoyed seeing you and your Daddy making good memories together. That is a special bond. Another Great video Rev!!
I stop for biscuits for sure... we just love eating though.
This made me Soo happy please keep this car in your family forever never lose it no matter what!!
If it gets sold it will not be my decision... Ill probably be dead so at that point I will have to haunt the one that sold it. Thanks for watching.
I love this ol 65 Galaxy runs so well. I enjoy this channel very much love Y’all too. I wish I had a 65 Galaxy because it’s the same Age as I am. I was born on July the 1st 1965. So Blessed to have y’all on TH-cam and may Y’all have a Blessed One Sir. Greetings from Silverstreet South Carolina.
Eddie, we are honored that you watch... Hopefully, we will have a few more fun projects to share.
The Galaxie video’s touch my heart... I have my grandpa’s 65 Galaxie, it’s a two door, white car as well... thank you for giving an inspiration and a purpose. Keep up the good work! I enjoy your Channel very much!
Glad you enjoyed it
I live in Iowa and enjoy your videos. Wish there was someone like you close to me that I could visit and play with the old cars and trucks. Thank you for a fun channel!
I am honored that you enjoy watching the videos... We enjoy the videos... Thanks.
Reminds me of my 67’ Fairlane. That car has so much potential. Please give it a makeover and show us.
We love this ride... it deserves some real money thrown at it.
Back in my younger days I used to help a friend deliver......um.......liquid refreshment. I had a 72 Datsun truck and the haul was too big for it to handle. We instead loaded me up with a bed full of topped off Mason jars. Well, I hauled out of there knowing the sheriff was waiting for us. I took off past their cars kicking up dust and gravel. After a few miles the whole bunch finally caught up with me. I stopped expecting to get the full treatment. They rolled up I was leaning on the car waiting for them. The sheriff put the cuffs on me and I practically walked myself to the patrol car. The wrecker had rolled up getting ready to impound it when there was a commotion at the back of my truck! Those boys were opening jar after jar. They all seemed real disappointed when they realized that all those jars had the best spring water middle Tennessee could provide. The sheriff came to the car and as I was getting out asked if hauling water was a problem. He muttered something kinda nasty and removed the cuffs. You see while they were chasing me my friend was going the other way in an old U- Haul truck. When I left the tow truck driver was asking who.was going to pay the bill....
Terry from South Carolina
Terry, great shiner story.. I have heard a few myself.. There was a shop set up in the woods that the sheriffs came by to tax rather often... price of doing business I assume.
Some of the most wholesome content on TH-cam. The love is real here.
We do not want to look back on these videos and be embarrassed by our content. We want anyone to watch and not be offended. Just good clean family fun... Thanks for watching and commenting.
Love the video that galaxy is most definitely a keeper i steel have my daddy's 52 Ford pick up i have a lot of memories growing up of him and that truck it is priceless to me my dad recently went home to be with the lord but I still have alot of memories but I will see him again cherish all these times with your dad God bless you and your family ✌
Jamie, I am honored that you watch. GOd Bless.
I definitely like watching videos on your Ole Man's 65 Galaxie because it reminds me and my Ole Man's 65 Galaxie except ours was a deep blue 4-door 390 big block car with a hefty glasspack sound. I would love to see more videos on it, cleaned, and detailed up instead of sitting back in the woods. Rev its definitely a nice car to be a daily cruiser.
Seeing the ol Man getting emotional brought tears to my eyes as well. Love all of the videos keep up the good work and GOD bless.
How's the frame floors and trunk pan
Trunk pan needs replaced but the frame is surprisingly good.
What a beautiful car, these old body styles are really great the back story to this car makes it even more special.
Couldn't agree more!
Grandpa looking down Smiling. God bless you both
Thanks for watching Dan.
Another great episode. The dedication to your grandad was wonderful. Hello Mrs. Old Man! Lol keep up the great work guys and I would love to see more of the Mustang.
Thanks! Will do!
My grandma had a powder blue 65 Galaxie with clear plastic seat covers. My wife's grandma had a brown 65 Galaxie. We've compared notes often!
I remember the crinkly seat covers. Thanks for watching.
That car sounds so nice. I love the old galaxy's
Me too BLair.
Now that's a good video,I know I bout tear up when he was talking about his dad I wish I could work on a old car with my dad again, thanks again you got a sweet ford there
Glad you enjoyed it..
Had me laughing pretty good watching you two work together. I remember doing the same stuff working with my old Boot back a bit. Too funny the hand coming in over the brake drum pointing at something as if you didn't know it was there lmao Too funny for sure. Love it! Well done. Would love to see this old girl rollin' and Rumblin' down the road again. I really hope the two of you get her in the Garage and have some more fun bringing her back to a single colour and a fresh outlook on the road :-) Keep up the good work Rev & your Daddy. Love it! Nice!
Robert, we hope to get this one back to the road for sure. Thanks for watching.
I love watching your videos. Brings back memories of my Dad and I doing this kinda stuff together. Love these videos keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for watching and sharing Shane.
I wished there was a way to hit a heart button on this video! Nothing like videos like this.❤️
Thank you so much for the comment. We really enjoyed making this content. Thanks again.
You should look into investing in a boat tank for a temporary gas tank with a clicky clack pump for help moving fuel to carburetor. Just a thought.
We need to get the gas tank for that purpose... The old plastic bottle trick works but a little dangerous... Thanks for watching.
I just finished the back drum brake s on Louise, my 66 Tbird. A guy needs six hands to hold everything together. Great job you and the Ole Man.
Bill... you have to hold your mouth right too... Fun stuff!
I had a 66 Ford Galavie 500 with 390 engine. Yellow with black interior. Thanks for the video from Granbury, Tx.
Great combination.
This one got to me. My Grandpa had a 65 4 door with a 289. It later became my first car. Great video, Rev. And I can tell your Dad was getting so much out of this revival! Keep em coming.
Glad to see you getting them back running again
Me too..
I have a 65 Galaxy I've been working on for 6 years. She's still rough but I enjoy it. Had one when I was a teenager. And My Dad was known as Old Man. He was my hero too.
Barry, glad that you get the Ole Man as a term of endearment. Keep working on the Galaxie.
Love the old beauty's n enjoy seeing the ol man! Especially the emotions he has for that ol girl
It is real to us for sure... no Hollywood acting here... Thanks for watching Alexander!
@@RevStoration love it keep it up!
I enjoy your video's. I wish more fathers and son's or daughter's could do things like this.
I hope to get my kiddo's in it.. We are going introduce them before long.
Father and son working together💖 didn't know you were a full time pastor. New to the channel. Love ole cars.....
Yep Mark... I have served the King and His church in that capacity for the last sixteen years... Thanks for watching.

That is the best video yall have done to date! I have to admit you made me tear up a bit on this one. Now you need a video where you pressure wash her and go through the interior. No telling what you might find in there.
Scott, we are going to get her cleaned up for sure. Thanks for watching brother.
Old brake lines break just by lookin at em normally 😂.
You did well to crack that one open 👌
I was completely surprised that we did not break one metal line... I have no idea how it happened.
Good to see you an your dad bless you an your family take care buddy

That won’t take much to finish !
Sounds great ! New gray paint job and black interior and nice cragar wheels! That is one mean galaxie. !!
