First
I absolutely love the 60s era Galaxy body style,these are the cars I see in my mind when I think of old school Nascar racing.
Great video, keep up the good work your doing saving these old American classics.
Craig- you should buy a blue one as well. USA
I definitely thought about that
Yesss! I support your wild purchasing decisions. 👍
Thanks Liv!
This car is definitely a “video” car, only looks straight on camera. I fully support you exchanging parts!
Craig...... fix the white one!....itll be easier......the small crap on the white one will be cheaper!
I think it's a great idea! And you really lucked out finding this car. I hope the motor is good!
just started the video and i am excited ...i am from Australia and heading to the states hopefully this year to get a galaxie...so love seeing you getting another one
God I wish I could find one of these galaxies around me. Absolute dream cars
In like the white galaxy matches the f100 .get in running and enjoy it.
Too bad you don't have the means to restore both cars. Hopefully, when you're done with it it'll go to a good home and not be scrapped.
It’ll be sold to someone who will build it.
Welcome to Fordaholics Anonymous Craig. :D
I love it.
Money is unlimited to Craig 😆
I don't know, I got 1982 Poltergeist vibes off that... "YOU REMOVED THE HEADSTONES, BUT YOU DIDN'T REMOVE THE BODIES!".....I think it's the CA community, the old houses, and that music that is really damn close to the Poltergeist theme song.
No way!!! I actually looked at this car and was about to buy it a couple months earlier. I ended up buying another galaxie with a few more options
Haha rad man glad you got one!
Now you need a blue one!!🇺🇸
Make the white one a daily and build the red one. Jus sayin.
Should leave it and not strip it for parts
Perfect parts car in my opinion. But,I'm so glad you're gonna put tags on it & drive it. It would look pretty cool if it had wheels & hub caps just like your truck. Just a thought.
I think what u really should do is sand it down and clear coat it an make it like a frank and stein hot rod dont go striping it and selling it
Like The Reverend Horton Heat always says, "Things ain't so bad... cause I got a Galaxie 500" keep up the good content. So glad I came across your channel.
In Australia we call the paint work on the white galaxy as a jam job to make it look pretty for sale looking at the current state it was awhile ago 😊
Ah a jam job I like it! That’s basically this for sure
Man, I wish you were on the east coast, I know of a "Junkyard" full of 63-64 galaxies and 67-79 Ford trucks in Virginia where I'm from. The gentleman who owns them will sell almost everything in there and is a local dirt track legend. Hagerty done an interview with him over a year ago, and it shows his collection.
Would be awesome 427 side oiler! Or any old built fe would be badass
Good choice the Galaxy needs the big block because of the weight.
Take what you need from the White and finish the Red- But getting the White back to a running car is smart move before you sell it!
Definitely!
I'll probably subscribe when there is a Galaxie playlist!
A Ford Galaxie 500? Cool!
That big block car is worth putting the money into to fix more than your small block one is, especially if that is the original numbers matching 4brl big block.. That intake alone is seriously rare being a factory aluminum 4brl intake, typically the rare time you had 4brl intakes they were cast iron.
That's a good lookin car!
That's a great car because it will give you you're FE motor mount frame stands. Most interioer most likely a 9 inch, and also I know you will probably run that motor because you have it but why not make it a 390 or bigger cubes or simply a 390? Just to have some more power.
should prob take the rear since its for the bigger engine.. pull the wiring harness for your car also.
Planned on swapping rear ends too. And I’m getting a new harness in general
I would most definitely If I was you . Take the wheels off the white one and put them on yours that would really look good the chrome and new tires already hack yeah . Definitely wanna hear it run can't wait man 🛠
I like the white one better I would fix it up
I had to do the same thing with a c-3 Corvette. The parts car saved me a ton of money on the parts I needed, and then I was able to sell the parts car later and recoup at least some of my investment. Sometimes it's the only thing that makes sense.
Great find dude! I admit when this popped up, I was gonna be pissed if you didn't fix the Galaxie.
Oh it’s my top priority rn. That’s why there aren’t any new things on the truck.
There is(or was) one of the trucks in Branson Missouri. In a museum. I have always loved that truck. Really want it ngl.
Same. It’s just expensive for what the truck actually is unfortunately.
@@Thecraig909 might have build my own then 🤷♂️
The roof is in much better shape. My first car was a 64 4 door. God, I wish I had it. Warning...if it is manual steering, it can be very hard to steer. You have such a fun life, great friends, and, a great attitude. You don't even act like lots of people in CA. I like Ripon, and Salinas. And, around the Dalton Sea.
Those Galaxies usually rust in the low rear quarters, wheel , the top front headlight "hood". I have never seen one rusted on the roof in my life. I had the 352 with the Cruise O Matic. The original color of your red car is exactly the same as mine was. Mine was crushed 20 years ago...floorpans and roof were perfect.
I agree with your plans. You are a smart guy with common sense in what you do. With cars, the original plan usually gets changed.
It makes tons of sense to me plus once done switching pieces, all the less value parts from original car can go on this and have value once sold. Old wheels then make a car a roller and they are gone. I just makes sense. As you have shown many times the wiring on yours is a mess and since this is a runner, it just might make wiring yours with the spaghetti mess easier. One way or another once finished it will be someones dream. I may be odd but liked the original dash gauges over a stewart warner thing but if its yours then you have something to mock it up in then transfer it in one piece. No matter who said its cake, replacing a whole dash is fun as dating the mom and wishing it was the daughter. I do like those aftermarket wheels, sure if I was at the store I might pick something else like old school americans... the big five spoke flat magnesium of the day cause its more period correct. I sure wish it had been a console bucket seat model but not a deal breaker. That motor in the shop can be a spare for your truck and as long as you have a spare will never need. I would rather have dust than hard work on a weekend I wanted to go jet skiing. Whey to go Craig and when you feel the power of a big block your spoiled for life
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely feelin the same way. This car will make the process wayy smoother. Plus someone after me will see value in it so I’m happy.
Absolutely better for parts sourcing. It will save a ton of time.
Exactly.
Can’t have to many, it has a good top,body swap? Yet I know the feeling to well,but you resisted for the right price, I would not have resisted.😁good job!
Strip all the parts off you need and turn the White one into a drift car
You might want to check the rear end as ford like to run different rear ends for the big blocks than the ones in the small block ones.
Yea if I remember this car still had an 8” but might have better gears or axles. I’ll have to look closer
@@Thecraig909 well a 352 should be ok with an 8" rear. If it was a 390 or bigger I would tell you that you might want to look for a 9" rear.
Man you not only have 1 but now 2 1964 Ford Galaxies, you are so damn lucky.
Now you need a blue one and the collection will be complete!
My Family had one of those Galaxy 500s in the early seventies it was nice to ride around in. It was light blue.
Awesome!
Nice dude black interior is gonna look killer :D
Oh definitely I’m stoked
Craig I would be very happy with car looks good to me
The best thing to do is, pull that 352 out & do what a lot of people are doing. Put a chevy LS in it 6.0 with 4L80. Problem Took care of.....In my books ford engine are sludge bucket unless you change the oil every 1000 miles. Good horse power BUT to pricey cost to much to build Ford engine.....Nice car love the 60;s fords. my favorite is 40 model coup or pick-up.My uncle bought brand new 1940 model coup with the mother in law seat(Rumble seat), Love that car......
i would have loved to had the white '64 to restomod! would look great next to my '64 Falcon Sprint, the Baby Brother!
You put that black interior into your red galaxy that would look so good
Nice. Love that charger tho. One of my dream cars.
Hell yes new project
I would do a video with the truck but keep in mind with that Galaxie it's classic don't take everything from a alright car to put in a bad one and when your done with it you should give it away to a subscriber
Yes the an actual fast and furious truck! 🔥
do full video in & out side & under it as well & what's the buddy asking for it on the movie truck......???? any movie document's on it in print...........
I think 15k. Not sure tho
Guardians of the Galaxy !
Clara Engl Guradian of the Galaxies. But you are the original
Make it match your truck that be sick
True!
Nice car .. that Cummins is so loud lol
I saw the Fast and Furious truck on an old episode of The Car Chasers not that long ago. They rerun that show to death.
Love that galaxie!
Yes
Where I’m at, everyone with an old car thinks it’s a unique gem worth at least 7k in any condition. Obviously not because you literally have 2 just sitting in your back yard😂. Not bashing the Galaxy though I love it
Man, that thing is minty. Don't part it, keep it as is and run it while you rebuild the red one. Fix what it needs to be reliable only, and run it. Then when the red one is done, you can find a 390 or 428 crank and pistons to match, it turns a 352 into a 390 or a 410 respectively. 390 stuff is a bolt in deal. Its fun to drive them when they're unpretty. Its no worry stress free cruising. The white one is nicer than the red one... roll that thing man. That patina is great.
Careful though, you will end up like me with several acres of land, a decent sized shop, and 50+ vehicles to build. Then you'll wonder which ones you will actually get to. You'll only get enabling from me and guys like me. It never ends...
Thanks for the info! And I definitely see myself having 50+ projects
@@Thecraig909 It sneaks up on you and then suddenly you count them all up, remember a few a couple days alter, and you're like holy shit, I have 50 cars and trucks. From the first one I got in 1982 to the Suburban I gotta pull out of a snowbank so I can use it to pull the trailer and road trip with my dogs this summer, its been a long time.
I have to remind myself that most people don't have a pile of engines and transmissions to rebuild. Storage becomes almost as important to you as the cars and a place to work on them.
Keep making videos, I am sharing yours, Viktor's and Matt's when I see you guys post them. If you were into Pontiac I have a huge network that would watch. Having a shop you aren't going to get thrown out of because you own it free and clear allows you to do more. Its worth working towards.
My first showroom new car was a '64 1/2 Galaxie 500 fastback in Praire Bronze, with a 390. Same dealer had a white with blue interior 64 1/2 Mustang 260. Both standards. Both same price. More for money with Galaxie, and I thot Mustang looked like it wouldn't last.
That car turned high 15's low 16's in the quarter. Had over drive. Top end over 130.
qwag is really the type of guy to buy a nicer parts car then his project car
Edit: i change my mind, after he showed the bondo spots the only thing decent is the interior, i'm excited to see the red car finished
Thanks man!
You should spend your money on getting the chassis ready for the f100 and wheels ford it and spend a weekend and swap the truck and drivetrain over to the new frame
Too many projects at once. It’s waiting till I finish the car. The truck is gunna cost way more. So it’ll have to wait
It makes a lot of sense to buy that car as a parts car; the fact that you will be able to make it a complete one, minus the engine, should be an easy sell. If you decide to find an engine for it, and have the car inspected, you should be able to get your money back, and then some, I think. Good move.
Yea exactly my thoughts. I’m basically taking two and making one nice one. Sell the other so someone else can build it or use it for parts
@@Thecraig909 Someone will build it; remember, someone's trash is somebody else's treasure. As long as it is complete, someone will put it back on the road. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Dang! That white Galaxy, what to do_ hmm? The things I could do to bring that car back to the street. Thanx 4 the update.
Nice man im so jealous i love those cars
About time you got a big block car
Haha its gunna be fun
@@Thecraig909 I miss my big block that was in my bumpside, i may have to get another one and put it back in
Makes sense good call
Love it what you are doing keep it coming
A 390 in the galaxies was the way they are supposed to be!
289 and 352 were the most common. (had one, in the family since Oct '63 - it was an XL with a 352.)
i see where youre coming from but what's going to happen to the 302 you spent a bunch of money on? is it for your truck now?
I got some parts from it but it wasn’t worth rebuilding it. Only the block was good. So this car gives me a solid big block
Cant wait to see more
Hope you still keep the 64 galaxie
Definitely keeping the red one
The hard cranking sounds like timing to advanced to me, wind the timing out of it and I bet it’d start
Change the wheels from the white one to the red one, nice parts car🤘
So lucky to be able to keep those cars there I have 3 and my parents only let me keep one so the others I just leave at random places
I suppose I should have watched the whole thing before I suggested the body swap.still good deal!
U should come to crusing grand in Escondido
good buy! Unless i lost track, didn't you already start rebuilding the other engine in the red Galaxie? What will become of that build?
The engine ended up being junk the only thing useable was the block. So it needed a new engine entirely. That’s why when the opportunity for this car popped up I couldn’t pass it up if the drivetrain was good
Car really does look good on a trailer 😇
Car is too good to be a parts car. Little bit of a shame to see it be torn up but still gonna be good for the other galaxy
Damn the interior is clean
At least make the white one run and drive with that small block and 4 speed
On The Fast and Furious movie wasn't that a 67 / 68 Chevy truck ?
Very cool!
Iv got a completely rebuilt 360FE in my 68 f100 4 speed short box
Sweet, like the plans
Just get the white one to run and enjoy it...in the meantime work on the red one.
We’re about a week from getting the RBG 65 Fairlane 500 on the road!
So your 500 was Originally a small block car? That shows you how much I know about fords. Lol
Mine was a 289 car yea. This one was a 352 car.
Good plan 👍 brother
Make the white car a "gambler500" style. Lifted with 35"s.
Wow parts cars down there are better then the best cars we find out here lol cars we fix here literally have no floors, truck floor, and quarters are half rusted off.
Nice Mopar in the garage who cares about the chevy truck those are all over the place and you see one you've seen them all
My grandfather had a 61 Galaxie Starliner
You have a car problem!! I like it!!!
I'd take everything you need to fix the red one whatever you need it's what you bought it for
