Although it is super nice, I believe it to be a clone. It has the VIN number of a Galaxie 500, (66) not LTD, (67). And, there are no stainless trim pieces around the gas and brake pedals. These are extremely rare, and would have been on a 4 speed LTD, but not a Galaxie 500. The floor under body is red primer and should be black. The new stainless exhaust exits behind the tire, not just in front of the bumper, as it should Still, a super clean car, but probably overpriced. The interior is certainly correct 65 LTD, and in very clean condition. _Click here: Ford : Galaxie : eBay Motors (item 350312946933 end time Feb-13-10 14:42:23 PST)_ (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_rdc=1&item=350312946933&ru=http://shop.ebay.com:80/i.html?_nkw=350312946 933&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_okw=350312946933&_oexkw=&_ud lo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=200 &_fpos=Zip+code&_fsct=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_fvi=1&view item=#vi-content) Russ Owens 65-66 Galaxie Collector Milwaukee WI -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I also have customers with cars in the 50s and 40s that I help. I currently have a 67 Ford LTD I have been able to find almost all of my parts with them. The one that I had to order from the web was the turn signal wiring harness from the column. I just got done rebuilding my brakes, 4 wheel drum, I replaced all rubber brake lines, wheel cylinders, hardware kits, Wagnor brake pads and master cylinder with power boost. Not all the parts were on our shelf they were in the local warehouse that is only about 4 hours away when ordered. I would gladly help you in anyway if you would like with part numbers for your local store or even call the store for you. Remember I also said that parts can be found online. The problem that parts people run into is that not all information was transferred to electronic databases after 1970. Which means that some time I have to go to a book or two. Giving them the Ford part number is the best way to go about getting the right part due to the auto makers not being as standardized as they are today. If you need assistance in obtaining the Ford part numbers I can help there to. Also know this that each AutoZone staff make all part time with the top management full time.

I am a fan of O?Reilly because I have been shopping there for the last 30 years and now after working for the company I am sold. I go into the others AutoZone and Pepboys and those stores are discount auto parts with no help. I first started with WesternAuto good company and great people. Everything I like from a parts store and always enjoyed is what I demand from my employees. I know not every store is the same and I do not know everything but I can research it and get back with you or punt and buy it from the car maker and under cut them. Just to let you know we price match to Wal-Mart. For all those who took the time to read all that I wrote, thanks and if you could use some help finding a part let me know.

That makes sense. Thanks for clarification. Has AutoZone changed in the past 10 years? While employed there from 1997-1999 I was a PSM ( parts sales manager ) at 2 different Kansas stores. I called myself a shift manager. I worked the counter alot. I was usually scheduled close to 40 hours a week. Averaging about 39 hours a week at an hourly rate. I was asked to consider the assistant manage position twice. They work 50 hours week for a set salary. Sadly, their way of calculating your new "salary" was pathetic and I would've been earning less per hour. So I declined. At that time there was some part time counter help. Their automotive skill varied. No one was an expert. Not even I. But I tried to help the customer until my resources were exhausted. We did have a few full time counter help people that worked close to 40 hours like myself. Maybe that has changed over the years. I shop at either O'Reillys and AutoZone nowadays. NAPA is too high around here. I do prefer AZ due to their reward program. Dale 66 Galaxie 500 2dr 65 LTD 2dr ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis W To: A list for Ford Galaxie owners.

About the typing still recovering from surgery. I talked with a good friend that works at AZ and that is where I got my info. A lot with them has changed and not for the better. Right now our store gets more referrals from the AZ down the road that any other place. I know that a lot of the manufactures that all the part stores sell are good but I lost a lot of faith in the AZ here when I had to buy a starter a few years back for my truck. It was junk. I know that there are a few parts that I would not install from O?Reillys on my car also but those are the lesser brands we sell. All in all the aftermarket parts are good and sometimes will last longer than the original ones.

The fronts are 2.50 wide, rears are 2.25. By the way, it's quite easy to upgrade your drum brakes. if you get station wagon front backing plates and drums (might as well get the hardware and shoes too if you purchase from a wrecking yard. Hesitant about reusing the shoes? When you purchase relined shoes you'll need cores or pay the core charge). All these parts will bolt on to your 65 up Galaxie if from a 65 up drum wagon. They are 3 inches wide instead of 2.5. For the rear there are 2.5 inch wide setups to replace your 2.25 but some searching required. Get backing plates and drums plus hardware and shoes. Beware there are 2 different bolt patterns and bolt sizes where the backing plates attach to rear axle housing. In general, only the largest engines and stick transmission got the larger bolts and bolt pattern as the axle bearings were larger. Specifically on 65 Galaxie all auto trans cars got small pattern, small bolts. 390 & 427 stick shift got large bolts and bolt pattern. Later years can be used but likely all 428 and 429 cars, even w auto trans, got big bolts, big pattern. On my two 65 Galaxies I've carefully laid out and then using a drill press drilled ventilation holes in backing plates and formed forward-facing scoops from sheet aluminum which are attached with pop rivets. When my shoes are worn out I'll seek out a reliner who can supply Velvetouch metallic relined shoes. Should be able to find a supplier in a major city yellow pages under "brake and clutch rebuilders". I'm pretty sure there is one in the Seattle Wash. area. I've got previous experience with these shoes on my '54 Ford and '63 Chevy II. The hotter you get them the better they stop. Combine all ideas above and you can have pretty amazing braking power. By the way, none of these cars are equipped with Power Brakes. "I don't need no stinkin" disc brakes!"

I've looked a lot, and what I find are pictures only, or poor to good quality used. I have the emblems already, I want perfect or near perfect ones. I've never seen a near perfect set. Every other year but 1965. Thats why I'm looking at re-plating mine. Can you give more details on the cause of your letters evaporating? Was it a mistake the shop made? Included in my parts to refinish are a set of ultra rare Galaxie 500 XL fender scripts. I expect it could be a couple thousand dollars to replace those if they "evaporate."
