Art & Inspiration "Just an Old Ford"

Thanks Jeff, what an old beast. Super patina & spirit.
I wanna vouch for these big boys with a sorted small block too. Cruise all day highway speed, smooth & silent, just the burble, cost ya next to nothin' in gas. Make mine a convertible.

 

Thank you so much for posting this. It gave me chills and brought a tear to my eye. Great way to start the day.

I had a '63 with a 390, never should have sold that car. Bought it from an old lady for $100 and drove it home.

 

Alright!,....

I keep coming back to this thread but theres just a black box where the video should be,.. I can't find the properties,... Nutt'in,.. I think the old "Fisher-Price" computer ain't going to let me watch it !,.... NUTS !

 

Add some more compression, some more stick, and 3" exhaust to that sound and you have this- and the 4000 converter and 5.14 gears make it a little more fun- where's that frikken Subaru???
Original paint 406-6V car with a 427 in it- nothing sounds like a good FE

 

Okay,... Still cant see or hear the video,... But The chase scene in Bullitt with the "S" code GT 390 4 Spd. Mustang can get your blood pumping,...

Very cool! Makes me appreciate my 390 all the more. Thanks for sharing sir.

 

Thanks for sharing! Great video!

 

Just a cool little movie. I wonder where it was shot?

 

I have seen it before, but enjoyed it just a much this time...
Would love that have that ol' Gal!!
Thanks much for posting.
Cheers..................

 

Very cool!

 

Here are some photos I took today of the "Just an Old Ford" that everyone has been watching a video of!! Thought you might enjoy seeing some actual shots of the car!!

 

Wow

 

Cool Cool Cool!!! I have almost pulled the trigger on a '64 purchase twice... Well once I actually did - Just moments too late! Ask JEEM about that one! Not a 427/4 gear though, that would be too much to hope for...

 

thanks for sharing such a cool ass video...

 

Great video, sweet car. There's another cool video on Youtube of a guy driving the tires off of a '64 Galaxie at the Nurburgring in Germany. Do a search for "1964 Ford Galaxie at the Nurburgring" and you'll see a couple of different videos, all good. This guy hits about 160mph on the back stretch, and the car sounds like a complete beast. Way cool.

 

LOVE THE VIDEO - plus it's good to see that the ole' fella is still enjoying the car.

Thanks!

badd ass

 

how it should be..................it's a hotrod that's driven

 

Thanks for posting that up Jeff, great video

 

I love this video.

 

Always liked the old Galaxies. Thanks for posting.

 

I wonder what it sold for in 75-6

 

My Merc isn't as fast as todays cars,doesn't ride as nice,doesn't get as good of gas mileage,no air conditioning,hotter than hell in the summer,but I have NEVER seen another one on the road when I'm out driving it! I Love old cars....
My grandfather had that same car,but with a 390/4speed/duel carbs,and it ripped! I thought all cars should sound that way,so when I heard another car that purred,I would think "what's wrong with it?". My grandpa would take me for a ride and say, "grab on to something". I would put my feet against the dash and hold onto the windwing post,cause there wasn't anything else to grab. There was a street called Randolph by us that parrelled the RR tracks. He would go through all 4 gears with me yelling as loud as I could,haha! He sure was cool in that car!

 

that was cool Jeff---thanks for posting
