I was picking up roofing for the new carport , and a guy came over and asked me about the 56 . One thing led to another and he told me about a mustang project he has going . Then he said that he and his brother where cleaning out his fathers property, and they had a lot of old cars and trucks to get rid of . I should have run ! So I asked what kind of stuff , 47- late 60s fords . A number of 53-56 short bed pickups , 49-51 cars , 63-65 Galaxies and more. So I ask ,Are they made of gold ? No, he sad they are priced to sell, as they need to clean out the property. We set up a date for 1/10/15 for me to go and check them out , and take pictures . The bad part is , I just finished the 56 and need a new project , I always thought that the 64 Galaxies , with the fastback roof where one of the best looking cars made . Yes he has one . I hope this guy isn't full of B.S. . If I get pictures and prices , you guys will be the first to know .

 

Oh yes, Dave, keep us informed.......And happy new year.

 

I had a 63 1/2 Galaxie, man did I love that car. Hmmm Saturday the 10th.. yes let us know!!!

 

Yes, you should definitely buy something. It's the neighborly thing and all!

 

That never happens to me... maybe that's a good thing. Cant wait to see what you find!

 

We will look forward to those pictures! My first car at the age of 16 was red 63 boxtop 2D sedan with stainless skirts and a screaming 390. My Dad and I worked on that thing for two years and changed out the tired 352 for the pumped up 390 and upgraded it to a C6 trans. It was more car than a 16 y/o should have had, but I sure learned how to hold one in the road in it.

 

Let me know what trucks and prices .
Seems every one in my family wants an old truck now

 

Woohoo!


sounds like it could be fun

I'm waiting for pictures! Good luck on the find.

 

Hey Dave I'm interested too and I'm right here in NE Alabama close enough to make a trip if you find something good!

 

I have a 63 mercury if you had rather have a maraurder.

 

maybe we should all make a road trip to Dave's house on the ninth and go with him and see for ourselves what the guy has. Probably be a fight before we leave, here we come Dave, first road trip of the new year, who's in. PS, Dave please send directions.

 

Road trip? I am in. Shall I bring the trailer?

 

Ray, did you say TrailerS?

 

I think Ray meant A TRAILER, then YOU can bring A trailer, then I can bring A trailer! Then we will have trailerS
