Really nice car, Wicked - love that bench seat 4 speed. A "Z" code car originally? Looks great!

hey Daze just wanted to post an update on my red 65 convertible. I finally pulled the trigger and decided on the motor and tranny for the old girl .I'm putting a 5.9 cummins and 5 speed OD manual in her . I want to cruise this car cross country and pull iether a camper or a trailer with the motorcycles on it so this seemed the obvius choice to me and still be able to make plenty of power along with the mileage. plus being very unique. ive had it in and out 4 times so far and will probably have it in a hundred more times before it finaly lands there for good. i had the whole 3/4 ton truck to take parts from so I have the hydrulic brakes and pump all the clutch pieces to make it work .
I'll post more as we get deeper into this . I cant wait to have her on the road

Love this!!!!  Please post lots of pix and info as this project progresses.  I am all about retrofitting and this kind of mod is very cool.

Hello Everyone.
Finally I was able to stroke one item off of my bucket list when I bought a 64 Galaxie.
I am the second owner, the original old fellow had her resting beside the garage. 
When I looked at her first time, was burried under 3 feet of snow in December at -20 
We put a used battery in it and she fired up after 30 seconds of furious foot pounding.

Yesterday I ordered 4 wheel disc kit. I have the new wheels and tires already mounted. Headers will go in next week. Rust repair and paint to be completed next winter in the garage. I plan to keep her Wimbledon White.
