I know where a convertible one is setting (62 galaxie)... it's white, the top is ripped up and the rats live in there now... I thought about asking the propety owner how much he would pay me to haul that away for him..... ha ha... It is in Vallejo, off Curtola Parkway somewhere.

So, how did this thread deteriorate from a motorcycling legend to... what are those anyway, they appear rather large and clunky and have four wheels. I guess that is what normal people refer to as cars. Frankly, I've never given a rats-ass about them...., they seem to look best in junkyards. Rust does wonders for them.

It was only for a couple years before I went from 4 wheels to 2.

I had a friend who bought a new '62 Galaxie rag top. 406, tripower, four speed. Blue on blue. A very nice car.

A very nice car. | My hardtop is an original G-code 406-405HP 3-deuce car- even though it's a top-of-the-line XL, no power options or auto available- manual steering & brakes, and 4-spd. Solid lifters & factory cast iron headers
And the heavyweight of the fleet, with a 428- this is what the new 3-deuce is going on

Did someone remove the original 3-duece? is that why you needed to get a 'new' one? if so, that's cool to get it back to original parts.
