      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.

      My oldest brother was like that, no matter what car it was he knew what it was with details. Sadly he passed away, the car community lost a great one there! He was also the "Clutch Man" for Don Prudhomme "The Snake" from the great Snake vs Mongoose days!!! Wish he was still here to help me set up a small tire no prep car!

    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.

    • @tombiggs4687
      @tombiggs4687 Рік тому

      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.
