Thank you
I love the video I just pulled a 64 galaxie 500 out of the woods where it had been sitting since 1984 with just a little bit of work that 390 I’m mine fired up and runs great next thing is the breaks. Thanks for making great videos to watch!!
That’s awesome
I can see why you have 26K subs brother, you keep my attention and at 53 with ADHD, that is hard to do. You live in a state I lived in for 14 years and miss very much. You do what I have done my whole life and bring back the itch to get at it again. You have gained a new subscriber and will enjoy binge watching some of your video's. Great work on your production work and taking on the jobs most wouldn't even think about these days. God Bless and HOOAH!!!
Thank you so much I really appreciate that
I loved this!❤
So good to see an all American family get involved together and get these old cars on the road again. Another great video! First in line for the new merch! 🙂💯
Awesome thank you
It’s great that you keep your children involved and helping with these projects. Some of my favorite childhood memories were trips to the junkyard with my Dad.
Thank you .. yes we try to do most everything together
To Jerry Ezzell: you forgot to say about the pet goat being involved, too!
@@nygelmiller5293 Yikes, I should have mentioned Rocky. He’s like the star of the channel. I guess I was just blindsided by the cute kids.
@@Sleeperdude3S
Bring your goat to the revival day. You just don’t see that every day. I spent last night binge watching sleeper dude videos. The wife wasn’t too happy but I was. It’s great that the whole family gets involved.
That’s awesome thank you
This was my first car. 64 Ford galaxies 500 mine had a 289. It sat for 27 years. I was 18 worked all summer on it and drove it for a good long time! This is a awesome find.
That’s cool
Those Galaxie's are way cool. I had a "63 500XL and a 63 1/2 Police Interceptor. 390 HIPO, 3 speed on the column WITH overdrive. At 80 mph, take your foot off the accelerator, mash it down, and voila, overdrive!! It's been my experience that Ford badged the 390 & 427 on the '63's upper front area of the front fender. The '64's were badged at the lower rear of the front fender. My 63 XL was a 352, two barrel, automatic, no badges. Changed it to a 390 HIPO with a four speed Ford toploader. I then changed the generator system to an alternator and got rid of the expansion tank (Kept blowing out the seams). Fast, Fun, Family cars! Ain't nothn' like American Muscle for torque! Good luck with this resto my friend!! God Bless
That’s very cool
This one looks to have 429/460 swapped in!
Great to see you clean it up before working on it. Most guy just get in there and roll around in all the crap. Love the kids dancing at the end!
Thank you
Another great recovery .. another classic car SAVED from its demise - thank-you. Always loved the look of the 60's style Fords, can't wait for part 2 of this sweet ride. Brad frm Vernon B.C. Canada
Thank you
Love it!! Especially loved that Rocky got to go for a ride!! You rock! This video certainly made our day. The car is the same age as me. That grill was super cool!
Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it and Rocky loves being with people since we raised him on a bottle. Yes the grille is great !!
D.W. HOSTETTIER: you are the same age as this stylish car? You see what a stylish time you were born in to! I'm a bit older, at 69 but remember therefore, when such cars were NEW!
The amazing thing is that with little apparent effort he’ll have a nice car Rocky makes having a goat pet look good
Yes thanks we hope so .. he is a good goat
The carb on that FE looks to be a 4300 series Motorcraft 4bbl.. Do'nt think they came out to 67. Could have a swapped motor, or swapped carb at least. 59 till 64 were notorious "tail-draggers", thus the over-head shocks.
To Just Travelling from Nygel Miller. Oh yes, I like ROCKY because of being raised around PEOPLE. My mother's friend, Anne kept saying "come round and see my goats." So we went round, and Anne opened the "garden gate" to the goat's enclosure. She went in, no problem. But when my mother and myself tried to go in, we got charged at!
Love the look of the 64, you do a great job bringing back the classics!
Thank you
Love that you allowed Rocky to go! He's on his way to being a CZcams star! I enjoy your videos very much. Thanks for sharing this! Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you rocky is the best
@@Sleeperdude P.E.T.A. Disclaimer: No snakes were harmed in th making of this video.
Oh my, that is a sweet ride. Love the body lines. In 73 I had a 69 Galaxy 500 I loved. Dumb a.s ex husband drove it 40 miles home from Bragg and decided to spray the engine with water to cool it down so he could change the oil. Needless to say the block split. Only had 46,000 on it.
Wow what an idiot!!
I feel the same as you about Nascar having grown up in the 1970;s when they were real cars. Quit watching about 20- 15 years ago when the sport started changing. Love when you show those old photos of how it was back in the day. haha cleaning out these old rigs is no where near as fun as getting these old girls going but gotta be done eventually. Great old Galaxie you got there. I'm sure you'll have her running in no time.
I agree thank you
I as well
If it takes too much for restoration you can always make a tribute of a stock car racer.
Pretty cool, neat pet, the whole family involved and seem to be on board with the project, looking forward to the progress!
Thank you
I like the fact that you clean the car before trying to get it going. I'm subbing to the channel and look forward to future videos.
Thank you I appreciate it
After pressure washing three quarters of a 64 galaxy is left lots of work good thing the goat doesn't eat rust!smile
To have that car must have been amazing new . cars modern cars do nothing for me in that gold what a time to be alive 50s 60s us cars are so cool thanks for another great video
You are welcome !! Thank you for watching
Man I love those old Ford galaxies
Yes
WE LOVE ROCKY ... THANKYOU FOR LETTING ROCKY GO WITH Y'ALL
We love him too . He went to the racetrack with us when he was still on the bottle !! He is super sweet . Thanks for watching
My first real car, in 1972, I bought a '64 in San Diego. I was in the Navy, the rear main seal leaked like a sieve
@@jameskurdy4873 thank your for your service .... I wish you could get it back....this time with a blonde of questionable morals and large upper dimensions .....prefably with two letters
@@Sleeperdude I've got a fact for ya!!!
All Delorians and Mustangs are related.. .
John Delorian was on the original Ford design team for the Mustang!!!
and to add some flavor to your Vienna sausages....the mustang concept was way more radical .. .....by the way...if you want go radical.... you should build a Thunderflite Thunderbird!!!... you ll love it

Hey SleeperDude, greetings from Yuma Arizona. I am a long-time fan of Mustie 1 and now also Mortske Repair. I'm adding you to my "Most Watched," list because you are and you have what America needs most right now. The greatest power on earth is unity and that means family! Love the kids and having once had a goat, I know how much fun they can be. Rocky is so cool! (and cute)
I'll take one of those T-shirts when you are ready. We love your show! Keep saving real cars!!!
(can you imagine the junk that they call cars today trying to navigate the high banks of Talladega at 200 MPH? Bring back the cars of the 70'!)
Hey man thanks for watching I appreciate it … there should be a link under my channel or go to store for shirts if your interested
Absolutely on NASCAR
I know they do all the mods for speed, but they take away from the real "Stock Car" meaning.
Back then the average guy could identify with the cars much more than today!
Your right on the money with that comment!
Enjoy your channel - keep up the good work!.
Thank you
Nice find, really looking forward to see what you do with that. I'm a die hard old Ford guy. Love to see you resurrect them😎✌
Thank you
Cant wait to see this running and driving. Haha Rocky can go to town with those trees 🤣
I'm not terrified of snakes, I'm more frightened by centipedes. Hate em. They've been around at my work lately.
Yes Rocky eats everything .. I’m absolutely terrified of snakes
I was 15 y/o in 1964. I drove a 49 Plymouth on the gravel roads in southern Illinois. My Dad drove a 63 Mercury with a 352 in it and hated the engine. In the mid to late 60's the desired engines were 390's. Dad also had a 67 Fairlane with a 390 four barrel, dual exhaust, 2 door and it used more oil than gas, but it was a stump puller.
Then 427's, 428's and 460's came along.
Sounds like a great childhood
This brings back the memories. I had one of those, with the 289 engine. Loved that car!
That’s great, glad you are enjoying the videos
You could do a bucket seat swap on it!! Great find can't wait for the next video!!
Thank you
That would just about make it a 500 XL. :)
Can't wait to see more of what y'all are gonna do with the galaxy 500.
Me too
In 1984 I saw an ad for a 1964 Ford Galaxy with a 390 under the hood in the newspaper. The add said runs but it smokes. Transmission slips $50.00. I borrowed my boss's 1948 wrecker with a Merc Flathead, and picked up! I drug it down to the local rats place, Crawled underneath, pulled out the vacuum modulator and replaced it with a new one. with a fresh hose. I drug it to the shop, changed the oil and fired it up! It quit smoking in about five minutes! I drove that old Ford for ten years, and sold it for $3000.00!
That’s a great story
My daily for 21yrs. '70 "Bird of Prey" wagon. Give 350 bucks for it. Never been "found on road dead". That Rocky is a natural talent. Loved the video, and hey, you folks have a nice day. 🇺🇲 (Noosecar is dead to me)
That’s great thank you
I have to tell you we couldn’t wait to see these cars go. You could only get 60g miles out of them & most had no air. My father worked at fisher body so we always had Cadillacs. I agree with you front wheel drive sucks. I’m glad to see you guys getting these old cars going.
These cars usually went 150K - 250K without too much trouble...
First car I remember the family having except ours was red. Don't remember which motor being 5 years old but Dad didn't shift gears so it had an automatic. I guess I fell in love with that car, they were from an age of beautiful machines, because when Dad traded it for a Navy blue 65 Galaxie with a 352 I was heartbroken.
They sure don’t make them like they use to … thanks for watching
The 1964 Ford Galaxy LX two door hardtop was the best looking of all full size Fords of the 1960s. That car is screaming for a full restoration
Thank you
Thanks for the memories 🤓!
I bought my first car from my brother: a 64 Ford Custom rocking a 223 straight 6, 3 in the tree; got 0 to 60 in just less than a week.
Without power steering, it needed a wheel as large as a garbage can lid. Paid him $2.
Dang I miss that beast😕
Wow that’s crazy . Glad you enjoyed it
judging by the blue on the valve covers ,,,and the plain pent roof valve covers and the 4300 carb ...its a 66 motor....and probably a 390,,but it could by a slim chance be a 428
Ok cool thanks
Looks like a 352 F.E. to me.
@@danielscott6787 from the outside you cant really tell ..but i will guess its a 360
And I'm seeing 460" and drag race rear suspension!
I cant wait to see more on this car, I have a 62 ford fairlane that's roughly in the same condition. My uncle had a 64 galaxy in the same condition but traded it for a 4 wheeler about 20 years ago.
More videos to come soon !!! Thanks for watching
The advertisement described as "from Canada" is actually from the UK. Canadian built cars were exported to British Commonwealth countries rather than US cars as the taxes and duties were much cheaper between Commonwealth nations. Australia would get Fords, and full size Pontiacs and Chevs (up to 1968) and others, in what were called knock down kits. Cars were manufactured in Canada, but final assembly was done in Australia, New Zealand or South Africa. The unique thing is all these cars were available in right hand drive. The '64 Galaxie was the first family car we had that I remember. My parents sold it around 1972 or 1973 for $300 to get some bedroom furniture for me when I was a kid. Wish I had the car instead. Énjoyed your video and thanks for saving it from the crusher.
Ok thank you
That is a classic from the glory days of automobiles. What a find. I am really enjoying the videos on the old Fords 👍
Thank you
Great video so far! The snake prank was really funny, and Rocky was adorable to no end! The Falcon, Galaxie and Mustang were great competitor against the Impala, Camaro and Nova! As a old car guy I'm more interested in the 4-doors and wagons, the coupes and convertibles are beautiful but the other's need to deserve attention even if they are a different body-style. I am sure that this beauty will clean up nicely!
Thank you for watching although I disagree about the snake
Lovely old girl. Could give you a thorough account on this ride, as she's the cousin to mine, it being the family version of yours. Yours has the steel rims which mine lack but that's good news. Aftermarket steel rims won't take the dog dish hubcaps that I have. Sheet metal patch pieces are still made, as is a vast majority of many things your going to need. Save as much of the seats as possible and find a good upholstery shop to do them as the vinyl covers are very costly. Quite a few great books on restoring these, with factory reprints of all the OEM manuals as well as particular books on chassis and electrical systems. The placard near the hood hinge on the passenger side has the factory build codes stamped on it. Its an FE block, and only way to tell if its either a 352 or a 390 is to find the numbers near the motor mount. Its on a boss cast in the block right under the exhaust manifold.
Ok thanks
My Mom's car was a special "T" code, or something like that. It had four bucket seats, a floor shift and all Thunderbird running gear. Even the 390's valve covers had "Thunderbird" stamped on them. All stock.
Looks like a 429/460 385 series engine...
lol great gag with the rubber snake 🐍 you got um good especially where that jewel 💎 sitting 😊🤔👍
Yeah they got me
I love the old ad pics. My parents owned a new ‘63 Galaxie when I was a toddler.
15:05 as soon as you figure out how to sell things on the internet.... lol - great! Cool design.
18:00 and yeah, dude.. you vacuumed a part of the car away.
But nice rescue, there's hope for her.
Love your family... funny. Godbless.
Thank you so much
DONT DUMP THAT RC COLA!!
ITS LIKE DUMPIN' A MOON PIE IN THE DIRT!
Them things' precious!!
True !!!!
Wow! Thank God you put your mask on, Leptospirosis is a rare bacterial infection we get from animals. It's spread through their urine, and remains in the dust of the decay bodies...I like this video, the family involved is priceless thank for sharing ❤🙏🏽
My dad had a 64 Ford Galaxie 500 and if I remember right the color was called fire engine red. I learned to drive in that car. Lots of good memories.
That’s awesome . Thanks for watching
Wow - a first! Finally a guy that lubes everything BEFORE working on it - it only makes sense!
Exactly !!
Stumbled on your channel and really enjoy your content. Nice to see people out there reviving these old classics
Thank you I’m glad you found it
Great video Josh 👌 I luv seeing them old adverts , keep up the good work 👍 thanks for sharing 👍💖
Thank you for watching
Thanks for saving the Galaxie. Saved one my parents bought new but had sat up for30 years.
That’s great . Thanks for watching
Awesome find.
You are a super cool Dad ☺️
Thank you I appreciate that
I decided to join your channel for the long haul 😀 thanks for sharing looking forward to seeing more great videos.
That’s awesome thank you
Awesome!! Looks like Rocky wants to drive that galaxy
He probably would try
Take it from an ol experienced tow operator - set the throttle up about 2000rpm on the truck and with cheap dish soap on the deck your gonna
" Shake " it off by running the deck rapidly back and forth and she'll slide right off.
Ok thank you
Another amazing find! Love your videos, excellent!
Thank you
Just imagine what a lot of these cars you pick up looked like when they were parked and from sitting so long what they turned into.
Yes it’s sad
That rear end and tailligth is so cool 👍
I agree
I had one in 71 and drove for a year the junked. Nothing wrog with it but no one wanted it . Was a 390. 390's were flagged.
Liked that you cleaned it up before getting running. Means you have confidence.
Am subbed now.
Thanks for watching
Another nice rescue! Looking forward to seeing your work on it!
Thank you
Greetings from Brazil.
We love ur show, and Rocky too!!
That’s awesome thank you
I’m so glad to see that you didn’t try to “turn it over” without giving her a chance with some fresh oil and pulling the plugs.
Awesome love the 64 galaxie body style
My mom and dad had one when I was a kid
Yes I love them too thanks for watching
@@Sleeperdude watching ur videos reminds me of working on with my dad
Right on great score my Ford Brother! I am digging your content! I share the same taste in cars, my wife says its a sickness but i choose to call it. Great taste in fine Automobiles!
Thank you
The Clear Vision Filter is a relic from the days of CRT computer/terminal monitors. Mostly they were used to either reduce glare or restrict viewing angles on CRT monitors so that people could not see what you were working on.
Ok cool thanks
Awesome find Brother! I had a neighbor, who back in 1963, she and her husband bought a brand new 4 door Galaxie. She kept it until she died about 10 years ago. It was the last vehicle she ever bought and owned. She actually drove it up until the early 2000's. I think it was a 292 car. Your 390 engine appears to have 300 HP. New, it looks to have done 0-60 in 7 seconds. Not bad at all!
Great story and thank you
nothing like a man and his goat...brings a tear to my eye.."sniff sniff"....
That’s great
im finding out from this channel that goats are cool
They can be awesome and they can be terrible Rocky is the best
We all want a Rocky dog goat now 🥰
Thanks for putting on that mask. I started saying “put on the mask” when y’all started cleaning 😂😂. Love the old pictures too. Great t-shirt
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
My Mom had one of those and I kept it tuned up and drive it regularly. I really hated changing the plugs all the time because of the 13.1 to 1 compression ratio , but that thing hauled ass! Years later, I really wished I had that car and felt bad for hating it so much back then...
That’s cool
More like 10:1 and leaded gas crudded up the plugs by 10K miles...
I believe the 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL was the best looking car ever made. Even GM had some good looking cars in the early 60s.
They are nice for sure . Thanks for watching
@@Sleeperdude When you get it running, be advised the Cruise-O-Matic has a different Shift Quadrant than other Automatic Transmissions. It should be labeled P-R-N-D2-D1-L. Some of the Fords instead of D2-D1 will have a White Dot for D2 and a White Dot surrounded by a Green Circle. When in D2, the transmission will always start in Second Gear and as this is the first position after Neutral, Non-Ford Owners and those who didn't read the owner's manual would always say the Fords were a DOG. If they would have pulled the shift lever down into D1 the transmission will start in First Gear and progress up through second and then into Third. To go from Neutral to D1 you just pull down on the shift lever until it stops naturally in D1, to go into Low or Reverse, the lever has to be pulled back towards the driver and then down or up to either L or R position. On my 64 500XL with the Floor Shifter, you pushed the Button on the top of the shift lever when selecting the L & R positions as well as Park. Good Lord ,my 64 Galaxie 500 XL Convertible and my 75 Scout II are the only two cars I am sorry I still don't have.
@@Sundancer268 IIRC all Ford slushboxes were called "Cruise-O-Matic"; C3, C4, C6 and FMX. What you're referring to was the optional "Select-O-Shift". How those worked varied by trans and year, for instance the 66 Select-O-Shift C4 had a green "2" which was second gear only, while the 66 Select-O-Shift C6 with a green 2 would shift 1-2 from start if placed in "2". Ford did some weird things through the 60's and 70's which neither make sense nor were well documented, and some of those (like small-block steam holes in the heads) can leave the average car nut baffled with 'unfixable' problems which a true Ford nut knows about. BTW, the "Select-O-Shift" version you refer to was to increase fuel mileage, while the 66 C4 version I mentioned was intended to allow you better slip-free starts on icy roads.
Hey i did a big block galaxie revival last years! Mine had been sitting at least 30 years!
Oh wow that’s awesome
Really looking forward to this one! 🙌🏼
Me too
In 1970 I bought a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL with a 390 high performance engine, 2-door hardtop, bucket seats, leather interior, automatic in the floor with a wood-grain console, AC, and it got 10 miles per gallon, no matter how you drove it. It was a running machine! It would smoke the tires. It was originally maroon but had been repainted turquoise. One of my favorite cars.
That’s awesome
Had a white 390 with a black vinyl roof, 4 on the floor and red bucket interior. Absolutely the hottest in the neighborhood.
That sounds like it would be beautiful
@@Sleeperdude where in this country are you located. I love the 66 charger, red. I owned the Daytona charger, and being almost 80, I still miss it. I do enjoy your videos and the fact you include the kids. It’s beautiful.
Here I'm seeing 460" and drag race rear suspension!
Man all of that dust flying around makes my sinuses hurt. lol
Another great video.
Thank you
You see that 425 HP at 11:33. I bet that was a High Rise 427 cross bolt. I thought 64 still had round valve covers and not those more pointed ones. I thought those pointed ones came out in 65. One of my brothers dragged raced 2 different 1964's, one with a 427 and the other with a 390.
I hope it’s a 427
Doesn't look FE, looks 460" !
@@Sleeperdude - Try 460" !!!
Another classic rescued from its long sleep of 30 years outside. Looks like Rocky had fun cleaning up the weeds and brush.
Yes he did
Awesome, really enjoyed watching this. Old friend of mine in Georgia restores these from the ground up, he knows them inside out and everything in-between.
That’s awesome
i wonder how those Ford race car drivers felt when a Barracuda ate all of thier lunchs lol.
never happened. in 1964 Richard Petty was driving a Plymouth Fury and had a very good year. NASCAR was running what they called the baby grand series for the smaller cars but the Plymouth car that was run was the Valiant.
@@garycook2355 Either way MOPAR kicked FORDS ass.
The top engine in the 1st gen Barracuda was a 273 4bbl. It would be 68 when they shoe-horned a Hemi in them that they got 'fast' and gained respect on the streets and tracks.
Great addition to the fleet. Rocky rules. I would have probably peeded a little if I touched a snake. They aren't poisonous here but still. The clip of vacuuming to heavy metal was golden. 🤘
Thank you I appreciate it
At CAM ROWE...I hate Heavy Metal. Modern Day Satantic GARBAGE! Just as Bad as JUNGLE music!!
Don't know why this showed up in my recommended videos but I am glad I watched it. My mom had a four door Galaxie 500, rode in it a lot when I was a kid, she finally got rid of it back in 1996, many memories of the distinct (To me, a kid that was born in '84) engine and the smell of the vehicle. Those old engines had a very distinct smell to them, it was intoxicatingly wonderful. The ride quality was good, I thought it was a lot more fun going somewhere in that old car than it ever was in the newer cars my dad drove,he traded his cars every three years or so.
Cool story thanks for watching
"full belly of weeds and RC cola"...
NEEDED THAT!!!
Thanks for doing these!
February 27, 2022
Thank you
From what I can remember I believe you have a replacement engine from a later car. The valve covers, color and carburetor are not a 1964. It might be a later 390. Research the engine number. Those were comfortable old boats not nearly as sporty as '63 and earlier. Good luck with this project.
Ok thank you
Doesn't look like an FE engine, might be a 429/460...
@@BuzzLOLOL Nope, FE engine not a 385 series engine
@@timothyharrison8953 - They came with FEs but this is obviously a 385 as seen at 20:17... FE valve covers sit 1/3 on intake manifold and 2/3's on head. This valve cover is only on the head.
That's funny! I haven't heard anyone call tires "casings" since I was a kid back in the 50's. lol
I’m glad you enjoyed it .. I worked with an old man that called them casings and I thought it was hilarious
Its still a term used in many places.
Fond memories of a 64 1/2 500 XL 4 speed that a friends dad - who owned the small town Ford Dealership - gave him to drive. This was in 1970. One night I was driving around back country roads while he was in the back seat doing business "in the biblical sense". Good times.
Sleeperdude "I've had pretty good luck with casings lately" whereupon the casing gets a little "snaky" on him! Lol, I almost fell off my bed I was laughing so hard! Gotta love the wife and kids! Great video!!
That’s funny thank you
A 352is a piece of junk hope it is a 390 lot better motor
Ok thanks
I'm seeing 460" and drag race rear suspension!
The 64 Was a one year body design. The front grille and fender profile is just from 64. The best looking Galaxy in my opinion.
They are good looking cars
The 76 car with the camera,I believe,from the Elvis movie SPEEDWAY.The guy that owns the dealership that I work at,his father owned JOHN FOSTER FORD at that time.It really neat to see.Thank you for posting.
That’s awesome
You should keep your eyes out for old change in those old cars old change can be very valuable
Good idea thank you
these are very cool cars I have a 64 ragtop I bought when I was in high school I believe it was 1984 still have it love the car can't wait to see what you do with this one
That’s cool
When you turned the key you should have dubbed in the sound of an engine. Reminds me of that movie "Sleeper" where Woody Allen finds a 200 year old Volkswagen in a cave and it starts right up. "They really built these things".
That’s funny
I was born in January 1964 so I'm just 4 months older than this galaxie but I'm glad I look a bit more intact lol. Can't wait to see this one get fired up. Cheers dude.
Thanks for watching .. Glad your doing better than this car lol
nice! I have a 64 myself. Z code would be a 390 4V with an autolite 4100 carbureter. that engine has what look like later valve covers and that carb is an autolite 4300 series, 67 and later. could be a 352, could be a 390. check out thinderhead 289 for a quick way to check stroke through a spark plug hole once you get the engine turning by hand. they are fun to drive once you get them cruising. floating couch!
Ok thank you
I'd say it's a 460"... not an FE...
@@BuzzLOLOL It's an FE. @13:26 in the vid he shows the intake-to-head split being well under the valve cover; only FE's do that. These are later FE valve covers, they were more rounded in 64, probably a later engine with them but which one? That I do not know.
Wow! Ralph and squeeze are so little in this video. They sure have grown
I admire your dedication. We had a '64 LTD when I was a kid. power windows wooohooo. Kinda weird they used industrial dryer lint for insulation.
That’s funny
I had a 64 two door. Had a 352 big block. Later I I put in it , a 390 police car engine and transmission. I loved that car.

This one prolly 460" !
Most that year were 352 Y block.
@@jlyle51 - Y blocks have distributor at rear and only go 239 - 312"... gone by 1960... except for marine use... 332 - 428 are FE engines... distributor in front and valve covers sit on 1/3 on intake manifold and 2/3 on head, so easily spotted... This car looks to have 385-series engine 429 or 460...
Just wanted to say i stumble on your sight and indeed was blessed . It is a pleasure to watch your videos without hearing and cussing or seeing something that would make a dog blush . Glade to see you love your family Love your God and Faith . This day and age its very rare i love seeing your family involved as well . I tried to help my dad when i was a kid and learned a lot . Keep your mind and Heart on our soon coming King . dennis
