1968 Ford Galaxie

[Michael Trew]

I picked this up earlier this year. It's a sharp looker for it's age
and price. I'm flat out amazed that the front seats aren't ripped, and
there is not a hole or scratch in the original head liner. That being
said, the frame is spent. I still drive it around town, but I can't
find a welder to fix it, unfortunately -- a few have turned me down.
Perhaps when it folds in half, there will still be lots of parts here to
pick from.

Note: the Mercury Comet on the left in the last picture is not mine, but
the Convertible Geo Metro in the background is. I think the Mercury is
a '67.

My grandfather had a Ford Galaxie of this approximate age in baby blue.
It had a big V8, maybe a 390, in it.

Yes, 390 is the next engine up for that year. Mine has the 302 in it.
Not as powerful, but it sure moves when you step on the pedal.
Automatic transmission unfortunately. I've been looking around, and
there are no rust southern frames for sale, if I want to travel to get one.
