Got me a new car!


Well, new to me anyways-
1970 Galaxy 500. I'll get some pics of it tomorrow most likely, it's got a really bad paint job, primer with flames. 351w, 2BBL, auto, power steering, power brakes, and tons of room. This thing will be back tearing up the road before too long-

Man you had me sweating there for a moment, I thought you went and bought a Focus... 500's are cool rides, lots of aftermarket for them and club's as well, me I am more of a T-bird fan .

Thumbs up

Sounds like you have a great new project.
If anyone has any knowledge of a Cleveland I can get my hands on, I would greatly appreciate the information for a project I am working on.

Wow I've seen this car. It was sitting under the bridge on St. Paul st. at the Port of Tacoma. COOL.

Yup, it belonged to my boss. I work at Marine Floats, in there fabrication facility on St.Paul next to First Student.
I got a decent deal on the car, I traded a junk Mitsu Mirage for it.
