HAMB 1962 Galaxie Thread

How many people on the HAMB own a 1962 Galaxie? Post your Pictures.

 

One of my first few cars was a 62 Galaxie I will try to dig up pictures. I dont know if any exist..

 

Not a Galaxie but close...

 

I'm looking for a '62 Galaxie 2dr. post sedan. Drivetrain doesn't matter. Anybody know of any?

 

Here go my '62. It has four doors, but I think I may be somewhat cool when cruising this thing. Deluxe.

 

,,,,if anybody interested, I looked at a '62 4 dr. in NC last week, decent, w/ a 292 3 sp.

 

Nice Merc, Snowman. My dad always told me that a Merc is just like a Ford, except all the bolts are tight.

 

My wifes. All original, we are the second owners. Garage kept, 74,000 original miles when we bought it.

 

I have a '63 Galaxie 500,2 door boxtop,same style as the '62 before the switch to the fastback style:

 

Here's my 500XL, everyones probably tired of looking at. Stock height with skirts and og convertible boot, and then sitting on the frame. Ive got the og front bumper guards back on now. There is a 1962 Galaxie registry online that is pretty cool, lists all the options, colors, engine combo's etc.

 

I found a 62 Galaxie 2 dr post that I'm thinking about in my area. Surprised to find that it has a Y-block 292.

 

Here is my 1962 Galaxie 500, 2 door post

 

Ok, I don't own a Galaxie, but I found one that I am thinking about if I can get my $$$ together. Here it is...don't laugh:



I always liked the early 60s big Fairlanes and the pre-63 Galaxies. Here's a few pics from here on the HAMB that have inspired me:

 

Sick Nailz!!! Never tired of this one!!

Here's mine, well my wife's now!!! This one is getting a major overhaul very soon!!!! We got some major plans, she's gonna have a very period correct early 60's custom!!! except air ride of course, not for the purists!!

 

nice. i like the 62s

 

ive got a 62 galaxie ht. bodys pretty god interior aint bad all orginal. 352 auto.gotta 429 with a c6 gonna drop in her this summer. but for now im just gonna drive her. post pics when i can find the damn camara.

 

This is my wife's '62. We're gonna finish the '49 Plymouth and then my '63 C10 before we jump back on it.

Would love to get more ideas for '62's ... it's hard to find kool examples.

 

No pictures but I can still see it in my memory, an acquaintance, that was a year or two older bought a brand new 1962 red Galaxie two door post, the cheap one, it had a radio, heater, stick and OD and to top it off, a 406 (385 Horse) I lusted after his car and his girl friend more
I only rode it in once A few years later a friend bought it from him after he came back from Viet Nam, stuffed a 425 Horse 427 in and did some racing He since built a clone of the car (and it is nice) but he said it never "hooked" like the original car He still has the org car but said it is wasted

I can't remember what I had to eat for breakfast but I remember that event in 1962!

 

My dad had a black 1962 Galaxie 500 XL, 390/automatic.

I got my first ticket in that car, $17.50 ~ man that was a lot of money in 1966. HRP

 

Here is one available:

I came real close to buying this one from another HAMBer and good friend a few years back. I did end up with the wheels and tires after someone else bought it…

 

That's a slick looking example

 

Malcolm had a nice one, he sold it to another hamber. HRP

 

Talk about bringing an old thread back to life.

My '62 Monterey (pronounced: re-badged Galaxie)

 

I owned this 62 ragtop for awhile. Sold it back in late spring. 390/cruise-o-matic car.

 

My ‘62 Ford in a frock.

 

That is beautiful. My wife has been looking for a wagon like that.

Very nice!

 

My old '62 went through a few different owners. I bought it back about 10 years ago and ended up selling it to a friend here in Omaha. He drove it for a while and sold it. It ended up getting wrecked to the point that it went to insurance auction and as far as I know it ended up in a junkyard in NW Missouri.
