what is a 1964 Galaxie with a 390 tri-power worth?
not running, I have not seen the car or anything. I kind of want it just for the motor and if the car is any good i might rebuild the car to be driveable. They have 3 other regular Galaxies and then this one. I am going to see if i can get this car for $500 - $600.
Is that to much for the car or is that a good deal?
Thanks

Brandon, $500 or $600 would be a steal !!! I have seen as other's have I'am sure..Just the Tri-power units going for like $1500 on ebay!! If All the piece's are there??
If the engine is original to the car? It would be worth the investment to restore it !!
They bring Big bucks!!

I love my Galaxie convertible. I will try to talk the wife into getting some pics of it and post them.
I have people offer my $50,000 for the car but i dont really want to sell it that bad.
I want one that i could someday build a motor like yours to go in mine other Galaxie if i ever get another.
I like the old cars like these. You just dont see them on the road.

A friend of mine has two nice galaxie's also. One 2dr, one wagon...just like me. His wagon is a complete stocker, guardsman blue, 289/auto. His 2 dr is pro-streeted, 514, wimbleton white. We plan on getting all four to the local cruise spot this summer. I think they will look pretty cool sitting all in a row.

If you can get it that cheap, go for it. I have been driving my 64 Galaxie with a 428 since 1973, love the car.

Nope........no dyno sheets. Don't want to know. The motor is just a throw-it-together-and-run-it type thing. It would be good for a couple really fast runs(big power), then it would show everyone what cheap original parts it was made of 
.
The motor(without blower) ran like a dead pig
. I had it in the '69 F100 for a couple years...and it would barely bark the tires if you powershifted it for all it's worth at 5500 rpm 
. What a slug.
Now, with the slight addition of some boost.........it really runs great. I've never really tried using it at full potential for 1/4 mile. Maybe...maybe sometime before the snow flies I'll get it to the track and see what happens? Just don't want to scatter it trying to show off. It's together, it runs....I'll leave it be.

The motor was free, the blower was free.....kinda makes it easier!
Actually I rebuild the motor, rods, heads, crank, etc, so I had $1.5 million it
(just a wisecrack towards my buddy at the machine I use)
The intake and drive set up I got AT cost from another buddy of mine who used his business for getting the stuff. The actually blower was Free though, from another friend who got two at an auction really cheap! (new, in the GMC box).
I had about $1700 in complete blower set up(which most kits for FE run $3500 ).
Does it seem like I have alot of Friends and Buddies.............LOL!!!
Darn toot'n. It's a GOOD THING!!

HA HA HA. I keep only POP in the ol' Coke machine in my garage. Don't get too many freeloaders that way........LOL!!!
Networking is the way to get things. I do for them, they do for me.
Heck, my neighbor would STILL be looking at a box of bike parts if I didn't keep drag'n it over to my garage and welding on it! He's now riding his custom chopper and you never see him without a big grin on his face.
