I hate when this happens
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 .

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.
