Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 07-01-2002 11:19 PM Yesterday I just saw a (if I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't believe it)64 Custom 300 2 door sedan with a "D" code 289 210 HP 4v engine. It's in the serial number. Just goes to show you that all you READ you can't always beleive. It is FACTORY! 3 speed with overdrive and in pretty fair shape. I saw it in Wisconsin outside a classic car museum.

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 07-02-2002 10:25 PM 406 tri power "64" is VERY rare Mike. Most (99%) HIPO 64's were sold with 427's. Hell, even a 63 406 is pretty rare. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl IP: Logged

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 07-19-2002 09:36 AM Actually Comets were considered intermediates after 1963. They did not regain compact status until 1971. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl IP: Logged

Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 08-05-2002 01:46 PM They all shared a ton of parts. Mustang, Falcon, Fairlane, Comet, Meteor. That is how FoMoCo could sell them so cheap and sell so many of them. Nevertheless, the Fairlane/Comet was considered/classified as an intermediate back then. Falcons, Lancers, Valients and Corvairs were the compacts. The classifications were based on wheelbase. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl IP: Logged

mustangs68 Moderator Posts: 17504 From: Hampton,Virginia,USA MCA#39406 M&M #12 Registered: May 99	posted 08-14-2002 06:35 PM Hey Alex, One of my past co-workers had a '68 Galaxie she bought from this old fellow everything orginal on it down to the Am radio. Best I can remember it had a small block but I'm thinking it had a 302. She had the motor rebuilt, bumpers rechromed and fresh paint..GOD that puppy looked sweeeeet..I nicknamed it the Red Barron sam IP: Logged
Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 08-27-2002 10:05 AM 302 2v was the base V-8 in full size cars begining with 1968 Sam. No 4v small block was available. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl IP: Logged
Slow65Stang Gearhead Posts: 113 From: Reading, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2002	posted 08-28-2002 02:13 PM Alex, Im glad you liked the pics of the car. Personally i hate the color, but when its free ya cant complain. The title lists the car as and XL and it has all the XL emblems. Its been through 9 owners before me so maybe at sometime the emblems were added and it carried over to the title with some PA DMV incompetence. PA is known for their quality control. At the same time i got the 64 i also got a 1966 LTD 66,000 miles 4 door hardtop. 352 4v auto factory am/fm radio and 4 way flashers. The car had a frame bend on the drivers side in front of the A-arm (about 1/8 in bend. The car was completly rust free but the motor was out. (the previous owner pulled the motor and trans to replace the motor mounts and trans mount. dont ask, he's a putz). Anyway when i got the title it read that the car was a 1965 ford 4 door hardtop. But the VIN which matched the car was 6........... SOOOOOOOO go figure. IP: Logged
Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 08-28-2002 11:50 PM Yes XL's were all hardtops or converts. All had buckets and console floor shifts except for three speed manuals. Even the 4 doors. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl IP: Logged
Moneymaker Administrator Posts: 19611 From: Lyons, IL, USA Registered: May 99	posted 09-04-2002 07:56 PM I am very sad to report that there were no full size FoMoCo's at the recent MCA show in Charolett NC. ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator/ non 65-66 Mustang owner sensitivity co-ordinator NHRA/IHRA/SRA/MCA member NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Part time secret agent license #0089 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."

rm302 boss Moderator Posts: 578 From: Austin Texas Registered: Dec 2002	posted 12-16-2002 05:11 AM I am trying to put a 65 XL 500 w/390 3speed auto together for a guy here in Austin. I was shocked to see power windows and power locks in that car. I must say i am at a loss on some of it. it was taken apart years ago and moved from place to place. We picked up a 4dr parts car just to help out on all of the stuff that has neen lost.I am a mustang guy at hart and am by no means a galaxie expert but no one will touch this project. It pains me to see it like that. So i drag on.... Rene ------------------ 1970 Boss 302 1990 Taurus SHO 1985 Mustang GT 351W 1995 Land rover Disco 1980 Triumph Spitfire (auto-X car) IP: Logged
