      They are short because they are from the Motor Trend channel. They are teasers to get you to subscribe to the Motor Trend streaming service. I believe that the only full episode on UA-cam is episode 1 with the Mustang.

    What a great find I love 60's fords. My parents bought a used 64 galaxy wagon in 65 or 66. I have 3 brothers so it was way better than the falcon sedan that we were in. Later they bought a 68 country squire what a beautiful car, and the 64 became dads pickup. It worked really well because everything in the back was steel. I also built a big straight 6. It was a Chevy 292. I put 10 to 1 pistons, an hp cam, offenhouser intake with a holly 600 and Clifford split manifold headers. In would do high 13's in a 67 short narrow pickup. You can get some assume low end torque out these long stroke engines. This car needs to be built it's beautiful.

      My first car was a 1964 Galaxie 500 station wagon with the fake wood and everything. I bought it from a co-worker of my mother's, for $200, in 1975. It was a real sleeper - someone had ordered it with the 352 V-8, 4-barrel carb, dual exhaust. A heavy sled, but it would leap at stoplights when I put my foot in!
      I had a lot of fun with that car... but only for a year... 17yo me learned a hard lesson that balding tires, heavy rain, and speed don't mix. No one got hurt thankfully, but I did shed a tear for the car.
