Quote HistoryQuoted:My first car was a '66 Galaxie 500 LTD. 428, C6, 9". My second one was a '65 Galaxie 500, 2 door, hardtop. I swapped the drivetrain over from the '66.

I'd love another '65 or '66 XL, with a 427. Someday…

In '73 my brother traded his fastback 1968 Galaxy 500XL and his fiance's paid for car for a '73 Vega GT and a new car loan.
Less than a year later they came home with a radiator full of beer because it overheated and they didn't have access to water where they stopped.
Like most Vegas, it was fine until it overheated that one time, and then burned oil like crazy.
A couple of years later his mother in law convinced his wife that it was OK to go on a 200 mile shopping trip without oil in it.
Too bad he didn't still have that beautiful Galaxy and she didn't still have her own beater.
