love it love it love it love it my dad used to have a '62 Galaxie 500XL convertible with a 352. I always wished it had the 406. If there's one car in my life that I miss, it's that one.
I'm not a Ford type guy ,BUT if I had one like that with the top painted the same as the bottom I sure could become one !!!!!!!Very nice ride.
Well hopefully later this week I will take it on it's first Maiden voyage far from home. Last weekend I took it on a few short trips and it did fine just has a few small bugs. Some leaks
Update: just going in at 1:30 from hopefully getting it ready for a 20-30 mile round trip. Hope it makes it. Still have to get an alignment and cleaning and other small ends
IMO, THE best looking car Ford ever made. I had an all black one in high school, and have always wanted to get another one.
