Imagine the network of just pure mechanical greatness if these guys all formed a coalition of sorts. Sharing vehicles, subscribers, multipart video tie ins. Each choosing a different day to release content in conjunction with each other. It would be so cool for them and us.

I've had both cars interiors redone in correct fabrics, grains, factory correct colors. The turned out totally awsome, like new. Both cars were purchased new here, and have just a little light brown surface rust on the undercarriage here and there. Nothing that needs intervention.

    Dad had a 60 Galaxie. Was x police car, had the big V8 with a 3 speed automatic. Still had the spot lights on it. He got it at the Air base where he worked. Air men shipping out would sell their stuff cheap rather than pay to transport, especially if going over seas. The motor had a miss, like the one above. He sold it to a guy who destroyed it. Never got paid. I wanted it but still had a Few years before getting a permit. The project above will need the motor and trans pulled and gone through, at the miles on it, with the old leaded gas, it'll need the works to be a decent driver again. Too far to chase for me. But a solid body, for a start.

      The Milpitas plant employed about 6,000 workers, and produced a variety of Mercury cars and Ford cars and F-series trucks from 05/17/1955 until 05/20/1983. The factory was located on a 160-acre tract. This huge facility was adaptively reused after 1994 as the Great Mall of the Bay Area Shopping Mall.

      Manual steering and four wheel drum brakes would have been standard back in 1960. Power steering would have been considered a luxury that most folks would have bypassed due to the extra cost. Power options were seldom found at that juncture in time except on the most high-end models. Folks were far more frugal back in the day!

    I love watching your videos. I have a 1960 Chrysler Windsor at home, I bought it as a non-running car with the body in good shape, and now when I watch your videos it always reminds me of all the work I did to keep the car running too. Best of luck going forward 🤷👍

    This is awesome, I live in the northern suburbs of NYC, it’s great to see other parts of the country. Thanks.

    Used to have to pay a special fee to get an unlisted phone number. Otherwise everyone with a phone was listed in the phone book.

    $2300 with a good title is a very fair price.

    Thats a shame it's not a 2 door, would make a great hotrod, neat looking back.

      If it was a two-door car then the odds are much higher that it wouldn't have been left to sit there.
