I love '67 Galaxies, every since my dad's friend bought a beautiful XL hardtop new in '63. His was a good-looking turquois color, like this:...
Hmmmm...where have I seen that one before........?
I had just graduated high school in the summer of '69, and was pretty busy with work and having a bit of fun before college in the fall. I was...
In 1960 when the compacts came out, NASCAR started a 'compact' junior race car series featuring the compacts - Falcon, Valiant and Corvair. The...
The Peterson and Farmers Market are in fairly close proximity - you could do those two together.
Your kids will probably be disappointed with Pacific Park. It's basically just a bunch of run-of-the-mill amusement rides crammed onto the south...
I was there! I remember this wagon.
Don't know if they have the kit you need, but from what I hear, these people are very good (and not cheap). in Signal Hill, CA. (near Long Beach)...
HEY! - I'll keep a lookout for you around town. You go to the Fins gathering? Marshall (I don't have an old car.)
Hey Dave, that Courier looks familiar......
I saw that ad a day or two ago. The guy is nuts.....Not one of the 3 wagons is more than a very rough project (In fact, I'd say the Comet and one...
People are funny..... So he's showing absolutely no interest in the vehicle? It may be because he has no interest in the vehicle - it might...
Don't know if you need any help, but these guys are near you. Old school hot rodders, although they mostly do regular collision work now. I do...
A buddies; '71 VW Squareback. Bought myself a 4-speed Corvair Corsa not long after.
Beautiful. IMO, the most beautiful of the '61-'63 models. What you have is the 'Landau' model, but you probably already know that. I had a...
BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! Love the look of the 427 SOHC... Was at a local show in Eugene, Oregon a few weeks ago...... This [IMG] Was in this:...

Is that a Kodiak chassis? Looks great! [IMG]
Great question! I'm going to keep my answers to those who are still with us....... John Force Tony Stewart Chip Foose (that conversation is gonna...
I agree with most others. Unless it's a very rare, almost one-of-a-kind vehicle, the 'paperwork' isn't necessarily going to add much in the way of...
Got a buddy on another forum attempting to join up here. Hr can't get things to work correctly, can't get logged in to be able to post....
Great project, Ken. I'm going to follow this one. My first car as a 17-yr old kid in Southern California in 1969 was a '63 F-85 Cutlass post...
Well, if I still lived in Orange, I would have been there......
That last pic looks to be out front of Helms Bakery in Culver City.

Door openings are not parallel from top to bottom. Neither are the center pillars. Where (vertically) do you want the measurements taken from?
Now I could go for an In-N-Out double-double anytime, but it's kind of difficult when the closest one is 321 miles away........ As another...
