Thank you! I was originally looking on Dearborn Classics but did not see one.

Here's an update to mine. Still can't bring myself to swap out the 3 speed and overdrive even though I don't enjoy it. Just got it all cleaned up and listed for sale.

This past week I just went to move my Galaxie around in the shop. I got in, pumped the throttle once and felt a snap. Here the throttle cable broke just behind the "eye" that attaches to the pedal. It's still the original throttle cable with the Ford part number tag on it. Does anyone know where I can get a correc replacement, or has anyone had luck repairing the braided cable? Thank you.

I'm listing my 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible for sale. The car was restored in 2006. Completely taken down to bare metal, repainted, engine rebuilt, new clutch, new carpet, new convertible top, etc. The seats, dash, and door panels are all original and in nice shape. All of the gauges work, along with the warning lights. The engine is a 289 2 barrel, backed by a 3 speed on the column with overdrive. I have never tried to get the overdrive to work, and the transmission does leak oil (I believe most of it comes from the overdrive unit). Along with the power convertible top, the car also has factory air conditioning (not hooked up, but all there), power steering, and AM/FM radio. The AM/FM radio used to work nice but recently quit. It rides on reproduction bias ply tires, and will also come with 1966 Galaxie hub caps. I also have the original build sheet for the car, although most of it is hard to read.

It's not often to find a car in this shape with this odd option combination. I would love to keep this car, but I do not have the time for it.
Asking $16,500.00 OBO

Located in Lynd, MN

I guess I didn't even think about that! I have been looking on and off for a toploader from a galaxie for a year or two and haven't had any luck in the local area. There is a mustang, galaxie, thunderbird salvage yard about 15 miles from me, and they haven't had one since the early 2000s. Did you buy a new T5 or a used one? The 3 on the tree has been nothing but headaches. The overdrive never stays working, and the shift linkage has jammed between gears a few times even though everything is tight and lubricated.

This is the newest picture I have of the car. This was taken last summer after the local car show.

Thank you! The car has a 289 and 3 speed on the tree. I would like to at least change the car over to a 4 speed on the floor.

Here's a couple pictures of my 1967 Ford Galaxie 500. These are a couple years old so I'll have to take a few new ones this summer.
