MATCHBOX Restoration No 59c Ford Galaxie 1966

- This firechief car was quite the under taking, not because of its condition and any difficulties associated with restoring it, but because the donor had given me a challenge to include a blue flashing light on the roof in the final reveal.

Good idea matching the colour before stripping the model. In fact all your ideas for the restorations, replacing parts like the axles etc are brilliant. You always do a fantastic job of restoring these vintage models. ..
Nice job Marty! I had a 66 Ford Galaxie 500 two years out of high school back in 1975. I bought the car from a high school kid who made some modifications. He added mag tires used back then, dual thrust hush exhaust and did the car in blue metal flake paint. Oh and jacked up just a little in the back . That car was the bomb! We went everywhere in it. Those were the days.
Nice job Marty!
I'm trapped at home due to it snowing outside. To have a Marty video made my evening much better!
Love the headline "World's Laziest Slob Lies in Bed for 56 Years!" That's journalism! I've been enjoying your videos.
I watch these before bed. So therapeutic
I love to watch your restoration work. You gives new life to dead toys. Thanks for making beautiful videos.
The "headlines" in the spray booth are now an icon of your show.
Another great video Marty, glad to see that your boomerang injury is healing. Hope you and your lovely bride enjoy your holiday.
I had the 2 door version of this for real. Loved cruising around in that car. Thanks for bringing back the memories. The "bump" on the driver's side of the grill is the factory emblem you'd see on the real Galaxie 500 XL cars. That's a really nicely detailed die-cast car.
Emblem on the grill & note the stars on the tail lights. Nice details. And another beauty restored.🚓
I always look forward to your videos especially seeing what you've lined your spray booth with this week. Always good for a chuckle.
Thank you so much for some many entertaining restoration videos. Have a great vacation!
Hey Marty - Great job as always! That little lump on the grill is actually a nice detail that matches the original car's grill: It's a small Galaxy logo that has what looks like a crown on top.
Agreed
Hi Marty, Really love your newspaper headlines! The slob in bed for 56 years is the best! Sounds like an American CEO. Ha! I could not stop laughing! Also, in bonding clear (styrene plastic) I remember using simple Elmer's White Glue (here in the states) it too, dried clear. It's a glue used to bond paper and wood.
I bought one at the local drug store that carried Matchbox cars. I still have it. And 60 or so others. Like a lot of people, I wish I would have kept the boxes. I do have a few. But when you're 9 years old, who cared about the box ? I also have several engines and other emergency vehicles. I went on to a 20 year career with the Fire Dept. and retired as Captain. Peace to all of you and yours out there from America, and THANK YOU MARTY for the great videos. :)
when i was a kid (40 years ago) I was dropping off some garbage with mum at the local tip and someone had thrown out about 300 empty matchboxes. I should have grabbed them. i DID go through them and found one that was not empty (forklift).
Check ebay there are some reasonably priced repro boxes there
Hi Marty, bloody fantastic job on the Ford Fire chief car .Hope you have a great trip away l,ook forward to more video after your you return.
top job yet again Marty love the flashing blue light ...enjoy your break and we will stay tuned for when you return
Cool! Happy Saturday.....I like that! Have a great and safe vacation! 😃✌
Marty....needless to say, this is on point as usual. One of my fav castings too. It is the first *custom* I ever made back in 1976. I used a pen knife to scratch the britework areas of paint.
My first car as luck would have it was a 1965 Galaxie 500. I paid $700 for it. I called her The Beast. 352 Windsor V8 with a Rochester 4 BBL carb.
That bump on the front grill was simply badging Lesney saw fit to include on the grill. Just a logo for the car.
As always love the videos Marty and look forward to the next. Enjoy your holiday and have a great time away wherever you may go. See you back for your unboxing soon
Everyone upvote this so that Marty will challenge me to a matchbox showdown!!
I'd love to see two pros face-off on a resto, sure the results for both would be crazy cool!
Always got pick fights, Jimmy? 😆
Marty will win, man
Excellent job as always - if your holiday brings you to the Philadelphia, PA area - I'll share some of my single malts with you. Have a tremendous holiday and have a scotch for me!
Hi Marty, great video as always. The “irregularity” on the front grill was a badge which had “500” cast in it and if my aging memory is correct it was painted red, white, and blue within the badge. My neighbors had this model car when I was a kid. Have a great holiday.
Nice job with this one, I like that paint on the base, really looks good.
Thanks for another great video Marty. Hope you and yours have a great holiday. Relax and have fun.
The mark on the grill is the Ford Galaxie logo from the factory. You're right, it belongs there, and is a great piece of detail
Great job Marty, you have great time on vacation, oh I mean holiday!
Happy to see new video on my arrival! Thank you!
I knew you,d make it flash, thats a lovely restoration and custom job, you need to make the other fire chif car flash as well now!
And half a bottle of whisky later, a fully restored Matchbox car! Magic.
I use a metal brush in my dremel to clean up the base. Does a great job. Great job!
I just love how thorough you are,paint wise and all the info on the particular model your working on so informative also glad to see you using taymia paints. You sir have a wonderful day.love your videos.
Theres a lot of stuff to cram into each video, sometimes I wish i could squeeze in a little more. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That's a nice job Marty Nice to see clever ways around problems....
Τhanks for sharing with us another one good project of restoration!
Oh the nostalgia! Me mum had a 1968 Galaxie 500. I was the first car I remember riding in. It had more of a fastback than the '66 but was very similar. This grabs me by the feels.
That's some good nyborg.
Very nice job again my friend
Liked the blue light nice 😎
Last thing have a good holiday 😳😳😳😳😳
The choice of which ancient newspaper is in your spray booth is always an exciting discovery.
Great job Marty! Love the ending bringing back the pumper!
Aloha from Maui. That little bump on the front grill on the 1965 Ford Galaxy was a identity badge. Some of the badges were "Galaxy 500XL " Badge Ornaments
and with the larger engines and more plush interiors there was a "Ford LTD" Badge Ornament. Many of the police vehicles by way of the large displacement
engines had the "Ford LTD" Badge.. Aloha
My Dad had a 65’ Ford Galaxie. That little detail on the grill is a logo symbol. It shows the letters XL or LTD (depending on the trim level) within a “Ford Blue” background.
Great job Marty. Have a great Vacation! 👍🏻👍🏻
Could I suggest b4 you match your paint you could do a light polish on the old paint to get the true colour back first. Might not always be necessary. Love your work as always Marty 👍🏻
Another amazing restoration Marty thanks for the video enjoy your holiday big hello from the uk god bless
You have inspired me to restore my own Ford Galaxie fire chief's car
Nicely done Marty. Have a safe trip!
Lovely Makeover again, have nice hollidays .....thx
I just add a thumbs up without even watching the video first! Why is this so therapeutic? Thanks, as always.
Always appreciate it, Thanks very much chris!
Enjoy your holiday and god speed your safe travels.
Fabulous restoration Marty! I have that same fire chief so now know how to restore it myself... You da Boss!
To straighten the plastic I like to fix the piece of plastic in a glass plate with magnets and then to immerse in hot water. The trick is to let the water cool slowly.
Another fine restoration by the master.
Thank you Marty for sharing you brilliant videos, Very enjoyable so much so I have taken the plunge and done my first restoration.
Fantastic Andy!
I enjoyed that. Very satisfying to watch. Have a great holiday!
When I was a child in the 1960’s I would go with my aunt and uncle to the local toy store and get one matchbox car of my choice. It seems like yesterday when I picked out this fire chief car...
The "casting mark" on the grill is actually a badge emblem on Ford Galaxies. Depending on which model car it was they were different.
Didn't they say "500" on the Galaxie 500's?
Beautiful lovely restoration congrats dear mate
I just discovered this channel I'm 49 years old and for some reason I find watching you restore these toy cars not only interesting but very relaxing as well
Another masterful video, maestro! Enjoy a jolly holiday! Have a grand walkabout! Have another Johnnie Walker! (Don't drink and Dremel) Greetings from Jersey City, NJ.
Hey Mate, your screws upon test need not be screwed all the way in since the chassis base will take up some of that space. Cheers from USA and a dedicated fan.
great video as usual. the bit on the grill is a badge, some models of the galaxie had a badge on the grill, it is an elongated shield with a crown on top
Nice video. Thanks for share!
I grew up with Matchbox cars and these videos are so addicting. Love watching you work. Your results are excellent. Your little story lines are quite entertaining. Cheers from America!
Nice job Marty. Great restoration and video. Being a firefighter here in the US I especially like this one.Had this model when I was a kid. Thanks, as always, excellent!
Good one Marty, from the US east coast
Top Flight restorations of the world, Craig...
Amen, another therapy calm session! Thanks Marty! Enjoy your holiday!
I'm glad you enjoy it Russell, I really do appreciate everyones support.
Enjoy your holiday mate
Looka thaaaat!! Gorgeous job, Marty!
Nice restoration Marty enjoy your holiday thanks for the upload.🚒
I don’t know why but I particularly enjoyed this mornings video more than usual! Enjoy your leave Marty, maybe you ll find some matchbox on holiday! See you in two weeks! Ian
Thanks, I'm definitely on the hunt for some matchbox over there. Hope you dont find the gaps in the videos too much of a hassle.
Of course we’ll miss you but everyone needs a wee break now and then! Schedule your next holiday for 2023 and we’ll forgive you! Lol
Hope you enjoy your holiday and thanks for the awesome videos.
Have a good vacation Marty looking forward to seeing the new video!
Thanks for another great video Marty. Enjoy your holiday!
Have a nice holliday Marty. Cheers mate.
Superb job mate. She looks brand new
Great job as usuall Marty! Have a great trip and be safe. Take care.
Thank you, I'll try!
Very nice good job the lights add a very touch.
Marty, you should consider narration of children's books and animation. You've definitely got the voice for it.
Have an awesome holliday!!!
Enjoy your holidays Marty, I look forward to the return of your videos
Great video. Have a good holiday. Hopefully you’re headed for a few flea markets to look for more rare cars.
Good job God bless you and your family amen
its crazy, ive been having a crappy day so far in between school and work. i finally have time to have a smoke and watch MMM, as soon as it started i felt more relaxed than ever. thanks for that Marty.
Marvelous job!!
Another great video! Love your new camera stand, love the blinking light and I liked how you used a different camera angle of drilling out the rivets (eye level 1:12). Have an awesome holiday, we'll miss you!
Thanks for noticing, I try to change angles now and again to break up the video. I'll miss all of you as well!
Wonderful job as usual. I kind of think the "casting flaw" in the grill could possibly be an emblem.
Nice restoration as usual Marty I wish you and your wife a magnificent vacation and we see you again soon on TH-cam
Enjoy your well deserved holiday Marty.
Those newspaper headlines are hysterical, lol.
There's something about Ford Galaxies that intrigue me a lot!
The little blue light---shaped like what crash landed in Kecksburg PA, back in 1965!
NICE! Yes, the grill badge is supposed to be there, offset. I believe I've also seen them declare the engine size in cubic inches. As for the suspension, you have to work quicker and more aggressively. Exaggerate your bends, and you have to do it within a second of coming out of the hot water. Still a success, better than it was. This model is plentiful and cheap. Endless possibilities. It would look killer in yellow as a Fire Chief car, was also available as #55 Police car, and would also make a cool taxi.
Awesome. I dug through my mom's closet and found my old matchbox and found a couple of projects. I love these videos
!
Our first family car was a ford galaxy 500 four door...great to watch this...btw, you have an excellent sense of humour
Great Job Marty , l think we should see more Marty and Time Rider build offs 😄.... have a great holiday mate 👍
I've been watching the old videos, and I can only say that they are very funny (hey, it's a spider, oh a tank escaping), and you drank brake fluid, really ..., I do not lose them anymore.
Hope you have a good time. Thanks
Another brilliant job there, have a good holiday
I have this car, and I continue to find it interesting how this, and few other cars had had people (or dogs), but most did not.
Just caught your video..great job as always, the flashing blue light was an amazing touch! Enjoy your vacation and will be watching for your next video..
Every video you do is great. I love it!! You should try to to detail the logos to the car. Paint the "FORD" logo silver for details.
