  • I attempt to bring back to life the 1966 Ford Galaxie R Code 427 4 speed. She has sat for about 5 years so there is work to do. Work started on the car a few videos ago so click on the link below to catch up.

    Beautiful 66. I have a 7 Litre convertible, I love the body style and ride. They will never make cars like this again.

    That is a cool 66. I have a 66 4 door and 67 4 door. I love them both. I love driving the 66 and I cannot wait to drive my 67, I have been working on that one for awhile. Getting closer to that one every day.

    Absolutely a beautiful and powerful '66 500. You stated you once owned this car, only way it wouldn't still be mine is if it was replaced with a comparable '67 that'd never be let go off.

      It's tough to let them go and I've been lucky to have had some amazing cars but I'm not a rich man and I cannot afford to keep and collect them so they go to guys who can. I just wish some of the cars I've done guy would actually drive and enjoy them instead of becoming dust collectors...lol. Thanks for watching!!

    Thanks for discussing the Bakelite box on the inner fender. Having had a 66 with the 352 that didn't have that I was wondering what it was as I had never seen a ford with that setup. Nice job retaining that rare piece of history in a very nice Galaxie!

    Got an issue with my 63 R code and you might be just the guy who knows what's it needs. It doesn't like to start when hot. Will start in hot weather and I can drive it short distances but if I drive very far and stop and try and start it it wont start. Needs at least an hour to cool down before it will start again. I thought it was the starter cable routed near the headers but fixing that didn't solve it and I'm not sure what to try next.

      If it cranks fast then it's vapor lock, if it cranks slow then it could be a weak starter. The cast iron headers and the heat from them will really kill a starter on the edge of going bad. Look me up on Facebook (Dave Walters) if your on there and shoot me a message if you need help. My icon has my beige 1968 Mustang on it.

    Is it hard to find parts for the Ford 427? If so I'd rather have the 390 or 351.

      You can get new and used but all of them are expensive. Thanks for watching!
