The interior of the Galaxie is completed in black with the Marauder dash, steering wheel, AM/FM radio and console. It features bucket seats in front and bench seating in the rear. It’s reported all of the gauges, cruise control, air conditioning, lights, and steering wheel controls are all in working order.

I had my eyes on one of these once!

[@niccanada01]

i have a 64 galaxie 500 swapped to a 01 lincoln town car frame

[@brianfrancis2862]

what color green is that

[@philjaneiro1638]

One of the nicest combo i've seen.
Well done.

[@Cobrafanatik22]

That kind of restoration is right up my alley. I love it!

[@MustangConnection1]

Seems like something I could see your Dad digging too.

[@RencoSC]

That is a sweet car! Hell yeah it's the best of both worlds and then some! Style, comfort, dependability, power and mileage!!! 🤘😁👍

[@TMAN0950]

I love it, how do people think of doing something like that. Wow so much work.

[@MustangConnection1]

It really was pretty well executed too. No idea of how it drove but it sure looked well sorted. I think 25k seemed reasonable given all of the work involved.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Very cool car and a ton of work. Look real nice, Thanks Rich

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks Lloyd for checking it out, I know someone with your skill set can truly appreciate this one.

[@TheNightrunner666]

i have a 67 galaxie sedan and a 04 lincoln and this is exactly what i wanna do but i wanna see it done first i was hoping this video would show a bit more.

[@MustangConnection1]

I don't have any other stuff on this one but there are a bunch of videos on the old F150 to Cown Vic( panther platform) that shows the process. This might be of some help.

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

Even without the perfect paint it could make a really neat driver for sure.

[@MustangConnection1]

Agreed and really seems reasonable asking 25k given you are really getting 2 cars in 1 :)

[@aguilassina7605]

Should of done the interior full marauder seats and door panels

[@PapiDoesIt]

First class job on that car!

[@CJColvin]

Beautiful Galaxie man.

[@MustangConnection1]

Agreed, a lot of car for the $

[@CJColvin]

MustangConnection1 I imagine a 5.0L Coyote V8 in that Landyacth.

[@dennisbowers4035]

Nice

[@joeschlotthauer840]

The dash doesn't work well, and held it back..

[@MarcusTheGreatIAmTheLastOne]

I Love This.

[@MustangConnection1]

That makes at least two of us.

[@CamaroMan79]

I would have kept the galaxy dash.

[@jasonschmidt6340]

I’d drive it!!!

[@rickeyripley5957]

nice job..

[@MustangConnection1]

Pretty cool and a good deal given the effort that went into this one....thanks for checking it out.

[@Raptor_428]

amazing

[@MustangConnection1]

No doubt, thanks for stopping by.

[@CJColvin]

The Galaxie is basically on a Mighty Ford Panther platform.

[@MustangConnection1]

Yes it is.

[@CJColvin]

MustangConnection1 Yep and the Mighty Ford Panther platform is one of the most toughest body on frame platform Ford has ever made.

[@Rarerat]

Neat car

[@MustangConnection1]

Yep and thanks for popping by Nick.

[@huck01955]

Very cool

[@MustangConnection1]

Indeed

[@ronnieboucherthecrystalcraftsm]

thank you sir this is fantastic -- there must be many hours of work and it looks class .

[@MustangConnection1]

Ronnie, this is one heck of a job they did for sure. Great build.

[@DriveShaftDrew]

different

[@MustangConnection1]

Yup

[@juanequis6951]

The idiot ruined this super fine car by putting a dime dozen, 32V 4 OHC 302 HP 4.6 liter in that fine car, when he could have put a FE Hi Po 390 in it, that'd make 400 plus HP very easy. Plus when you retro the interior, good luck getting all your $ back. Only some people have no idea that when you try and make an old rare classic into a modern shit mobile, you will loss your ass when you try and sell it, FACT, check the big auctions.They'd laugh this guy out the door.

[@jevchance]

wow 60 grand? nice car though

[@MustangConnection1]

I can only imagine the number of hours to marry the two and it actually looks pretty good. Thanks for stopping by John.

[@gypsyshot5225]

That dash and interior is fugly, i wouldn't have ruined the dash like that

[@cutworm59]

I had a 7 litre and traded it for a bunch of old rod's. Never got them. Oh well.....

[@MustangConnection1]

Man Steve, you have had a little bit of everything over the years. Hope you have a great week sir, thanks for taking the time to swing on over.

[@cutworm59]

Never had anything worth much. The 66 Galaxie had no drivetrain. Still had the heavy metal grille.

[@MustangConnection1]

The memories are what's priceless, they are all just hunks of metal at the end of the day.....

[@vagabond96h]

What is it licensed as, a 65 Ford?

[@MustangConnection1]

It is titled as a '65.

[@FYMASMD]

Interior 👎. Paint👎👎. 25 grand. Nope.👎😎. Good idea but...

[@stillbill9937]

BITCHEN RIDE!!
