66dc75 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Yup, business trip to Vegas for the sign trade show to see my customers. Work work work. Plus the marathon is the most boring thing I can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Didn't get a chance to look too close underneath them as my wife was waiting in the car. Yeah I was happy that they didn't do anything irreversible to the EF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Rich-have a good trip-does this mean you will not be at the bkfst on Sunday? Good choice-yuk yuk. Like that 64 Galaxie-ugliest Ford ever but the 429 sign on air intake improves the look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit fond of the Galaxies, I have two myself. 6 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I thought of your wagon after I posted that-100% Ford guy-just never liked the switch from the 63 to the 64-then loved the 65 "LTD". As for FE's, second new car owned was a 68 Torino GT notchback-rare car-everyone bought fast backs. 428 CJ, C-6 and 4:30's. Car was delivered and company transferred me to Buffalo. First snowfall, put car in drive and it would go sideways! So what is that blower sitting on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '64 just grew on me after I bought the wagon in 1992 from the original owners sister. The black car has a 390 in it. Actually came from a '68 Galaxie, 2dr. Motor is still standard bore, all original cast pistons!! I put a mild cam in it that I had laying around. It was a real budget bomber project. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT is a rare car! 68 390 so it was hydraulic lifters. When I was in high school, friend bought a new 61 Starliner. 390, solids, I believe that was 375 Horse. gave us Ford guys something to smile about! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Ya, it was someone's "grandma" car. Friend bought it and drove it daily. Nice car, white, blue interior. Just a 2bbl 390. Seemed to have a knock in it, couldn't figure it out. He wanted something else put in. I had the 360 from my '69 F100 laying on the floor so I sold it and installed it. He gave me the 390. It had 50K miles and I pulled it apart and found nothing wrong. Still don't know what the problem was. I freshened it up, double keyed the front of the crank, stuck a blower on it and bolted it in the car. Presto-chango I had a hot rod. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

You would probably know this- the '60 Starliner-360 horse-352 or 390? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It has a wide ratio toploader in it, 3.89 gears. Never put good tires on it, so it spins............a lot!! With only 5# of boost it is not a real barnstormer, but it does go 111 mph in the 1/4 mile. ET was hideous at 14.0. The MPH shows it should go 12.0 with some traction. But, it is a time bomb with 1968 cast pistons so I don't abuse it very often. Can't afford to build it better, so it has to survive the way it is. I just drive it and enjoy it. 1960? Likely a 352? Don't think the 390 was around yet for couple years. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Freightrain Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I think the 390 came out in 61? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
