Good lord! It's amazing the poor thing works as well as it does! Good job working the roof with the engine off! A tribute to FoMoCo engineering! Gearhead222
Grooovy Ford Spaceships, I love em. As I understood it though, you had to operate the hood mechanism WITH the engine running. Is that not correct, or ...? Beautiful magic rides these old '59 Fords.
MungoidHen no, these Fords had an under-dash lever, it would operated whenever you pulled it and the hood opens from the back. Thanks for checking it out. - Sam
is that a factory stick for pushing trunk lid up? Limit switch adjustment maybe? Do it with the car running may help also..lol OMG that thing runs like hell. Please fix that engine. valve job once every million miles would be great as well. no lead in gas anymore valves don't have hardened seats. It is running on 7, no make that 5 cylinders most of the time. I canty watch anymore. oh yeah keep the top up until you get a haircut. Thanks
samspace81 Yeh ok sam space between the ears 81, well if the hair is original the wheel covers aren't .. now that you have insulted me I think you look a little like Roy Orbison trying to get a part in the remake of Planet of the Apes. The only thing we have in common is I also have a black 59 Skyliner but this does not mean we have to be friends..
That's what I call a "fixer-upper". There's potential there for the person who wants to spend lots of money and time. That would be me... Interested in selling?
Ooooo doggies Uncle Jed! I'd sure sell her to you but it ended up sold to Texas Motor Toys in Terrell, Texas. This car came out of Lonestar, Texas originally.
@@samspace81 But Ford never publicly called it that, they just called it the Galaxie. Research period advertising and you will see. The "regular" Fairlanes didn't have that Thunderbird-style roofline and didn't have that back window.
Engine definately needs a rebuild along with the carburetor, but it still runs! Thanks for watching
One of my favorite body styles.
Me too Aaron, great rides
Shes a GREAT old stored survivor in need of attention for sure. This is the original 332 engine ready for rebuild along with the carburetor

We had a lot of fun flipping old cars
Hardly lol, just needs an engine rebuild. We actually putted around quite :) Thanks for watching
Sounds like it needs new points.... maybe,😎😎😎 love that conversation hard top so rare to see this days awesome thank you...
Needs more than points. Ring job, valve job and maybe a cracked head in the mix. However, it has great possibilities - if your pockets are deep.
Yeah completely worn out
Ford has it Ford’s got it.
Do you know the driver? :) Thanks again Elvis for watching Samspace81
beautiful car!
660 feet of wiring, multiple power window motors, and 10+ solenoids :)

Ford never called the GALAXIE a Fairlane of any kind, just GALAXIE.
1959 is says Fairlane Galaxie all over it

я хочу такую машину
Fun Skyliner video
needs a valve job
If that Skyliner was a dog, you'd put it out of its misery and shoot it. It sounds awfull! Sort out that engine.
Brutal 😆
