Hey all. Welcome to my page! Here you'll find some pictures of my daily driver- a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. Born in June 64 it spent its life in Beatrice, Nebraska. It somehow made its way to Philadelphia which is where I bought it in March of 2008. Since then everything has broken, fallen off, cracked, been punctured or just stopped moving. All the while retaining its 'daily driver,' status. If it can fail, it has. Ive put more into it than I originally paid. But I love it nontheless. It started out with Cragars and since then has had every possible combination of wheel and tire that was acceptable in the 60's. The interior is ALMOST all original. The cloth part had been redone at some pont and looks PRETTY close to what the original material was. The dipshit previous owner cut the dash and put in a cheesy flimsy am/fm radio. Thats, well, OKAY. But he cut the dash and did a real hackjob while at it. He also drilled through the speaker grille and put in a big tachometer. Its one of  the cheapest parts to replace on the SOB but I've learned to deal with it. Overall it's not a bad little car. It gets me from point A to B usually, even if I have to stop halfway and replace fuel lines and a pump. And remember these few tidbits people-----

ANYBODY can race a car, it takes a real man to BUILD it and race it.

Old Fords dont leak oil, they mark their territory.

If you cant fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem!

If it works, take it apart and figure out why.

Detroit steel will rust, but at least it wont melt.

There are some mixed feelings on the use of these. I think they are neat. But I'll be damned if they suck at night.

STRAIGHT as an arrow

Hambone64's 1964 Ford Galaxie

Well, minus the one ding on the arse right there, and that fine patina on each fender end!

Ford really had something going in the 60s didn't they?

Real men drive with BOTH FEET. Thats right, a 3-on-the-tree. I love it. Its just... 'Right.' Notate the leaves and dirt on the floor. This car is driven EVERYDAY. Its not a real car unless it gets roadtime, gentleman.

Hambone64's 1964 Ford Galaxie

Brand new (to me) with 14x6 Cragars in the front and reversed 14x8's in the rear

Hambone64's 1964 Ford Galaxie

I get flack for ditching the Cragars, but it wasn't cool on a 'moredoor,' I think

Hambone64's 1964 Ford Galaxie

The bumper jack is LONG GONE. But thats the ORIGINAL spare tire sittin in the completely rust free trunk.

Hambone64's 1964 Ford Galaxie

Ahhhhhh. I dont know what this is. This is also just after I picked it up. Hideous, rusty, oil-caked, and leaked like sonuvabiotch. Its better. Haha.

I disliked the Cragars, but I miss that badass stance.

Sweet looking old Gal, Anthony! 5 stars! Really like the wide whites on this one. Yeah, the "eyelids" don't work for night lighting, but they do evoke the period well. Oh... and I might have my old Galaxie bumper jack hanging around somewhere... I salute you for your service to our country, Anthony. Stay safe.

I love the old Galaxies. Also these cars were built by the blood, sweat, and tears of hard working americans. I can build four rice burners with as much steel that is in one of these 60's boats. No trailer queens!!!!!

Good, bad and ugly, I really wanted to keep the Starfire. If I bought the car 10-15 years ao, it would have need been an issue. Maine has the worst ecomony in the whole country (over run by high taxes and Democrats inteh state and federal goverment). Anhyo -I figue if I posted a profile on the Starfire, the new owner will get discussed and sell it. Heck to get that car right , you will still have to spend over $15,000 +
