'67 Galaxie 500

Please forgive the slightly off topic post, but this car appeared in my yard yesterday. Anybody know of good dependable vendors for restoration parts like upholstery, trim, repro parts?

Thanks!

 

Try Dearborn Classics.

 

i recommend a full-blown nascar-style approach, then you don't need any repro parts!

 

That would be cool and if the car was mine I'd think about it! Especially since it's just a little old 289... but the car used to belong to my wife's dad and has been in the family forever, so no NASCAR stuff.

 

Thanks! Found they have a "side" company called Galaxie Parts. Perfect... How are they to do business with?

 

I love '67 fastbacks. In 1992, my dad had a '67 xl w/390. I was 12, could barely reach the gas and brake, and I got to drive the car...........no power brakes or power steering.

 

My dad had several T-Birds with 390s... always fun cars to drive!

 

I've bought lots of stuff from them for my Comet, and have always had great service. I'm pretty sure they are owned by Bob Drake.

 

Dennis Carpenter has lots as well.

Excellent, thanks guys! I've heard of Dennis Carpenter from the Model A guys I know, but didn't realize they did later model stuff...

 

Dennis Carpenter has a bunch of Galaxie stuff.And he is right there in Charlotte.Order you a free catalog online from his website.
Auto Krafters is another one with Galaxie stuff.I think they are in Virginia.

 

+1 on Dearborn... they are better with Fairlanes, but still have lots of Galaxie goodies.

Their convertible tops and upholstery are nice too. I put a top and interior in my '68.

 

Neat old car. Please keep us updated as you progress.
