I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a Ford fanboy, but my bias shouldn’t affect how cool this video is. The quirks this guy remembers about the process of buying his Ford Galaxie are what make the car culture so great. I definitely respect his decision to keep the car in its current cosmetic state because it shows the car’s character without being a jalopy. As long as that 427 is growling, I frankly don’t care what the cosmetics look like. He admits that a WRX would smoke the old Detroit boat, but we all know that speed isn’t always everything. Enjoy!

Sweet vid! I love this old stuff. I chuckled at the comment about a “turbo Subaru” smoking it.
I’m not sure what it was, but by the end of the video I felt attached to the car, like it was an old friend. Nice video, Jim!
awesome video, something different put probably one of the most emotive car videos i’ve ever seen. Makes me want to go and buy an old boat of a car
That was awesome. That’s how it should be!
A car with soul – nice one!
Growling 427 ? Check.
Four-on-the-floor ? Check.
