1968 Ford Galaxie 2 door hard top 302 V8
Summary:
Best everyday car ever
Faults:
Most of the things that went wrong with this car was do with how old it was.
Radiator cracked and had to be replaced.
Master cylinder started leaking and it had to be replaced.
Lower ball joints had to be replaced.
Exhaust manifold cracked.
General Comments:
This car was the most reliable car that I have ever owned.
The car handled as if it were a boat. It leaned in to the turns and you could not make the rear tires spin if you wanted to. This car would drive far better if it had a 390.
The car was 213 inches long and 80 inches wide. Because of that you could fit 3 people in the front and 3 people in the back legally.
Sadly I can no longer drive it because a person ran into it an totaled it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wow. Some one would have to hit you very hard with a newer car to total an old ford like that. Back then cars were big enough to be safe with out those dredfull air bags.

Uh, no. When the car's market value is less than $1000, it doesn't take very much damage to "total" it, even if it is still drivable.

Nice to hear someone else had a great experience with a Galaxie 500. Mine was also totalled, but thanks to this tank I am alive!
