Most of the things that went wrong with this car was do with how old it was.
Radiator cracked and had to be replaced.
Master cylinder started leaking and it had to be replaced.
Lower ball joints had to be replaced.
Exhaust manifold cracked.
This car was the most reliable car that I have ever owned.
The car handled as if it were a boat. It leaned in to the turns and you could not make the rear tires spin if you wanted to. This car would drive far better if it had a 390.
The car was 213 inches long and 80 inches wide. Because of that you could fit 3 people in the front and 3 people in the back legally.
Sadly I can no longer drive it because a person ran into it an totaled it.
Nice to hear someone else had a great experience with a Galaxie 500. Mine was also totalled, but thanks to this tank I am alive!
Wow. Some one would have to hit you veary hard with a newer car to total an old ford like that. Back then cars were big enough to be safe with out those dredfull air bags.
