It's been fun!

Well, I did it... I sold my 94 Lightning. I had her for 8yrs, learned alot and had alot of fun. I teared up as she drove away but she has a good new owner.

On the flip side, picked up a 67 Galaxie Fastback 390 XL with a built motor, all forged internals, balanced and blue printed, Edelbrock Performer heads and intake with a big lopey cam. Car dynoed 425 HP and 451 TQ. Mechanically in real good condition but needs some love inside and out. Car also has a toploader 4 speed fully built with all RAM parts and a Lakewood Bellhousing... FUN FUN FUN to come!

It's been real guys, I'll be around... GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

Good Luck with the Galaxie.IMO that is the last good year for the Galaxie.My favorites are 63,64 and 67s.

That Galaxie will be fun for you. The 390 heads were not very good, small valves and flowed poorly. New heads really wakes that 390 up, so you should be good to go with that 4 speed and all. Have fun. Post up your times...

Mark,

Congrats on the new Ride Enjoy.

So who bought your truck?

nast94 · 04-02-2008, 12:51 PM

Guy named Warren in Katy, gonna use it to pull his T-type Grand National.

Here are some pics of my new car and a little more information.

It has it's original 390 FE engine which has been built up to 425 HP. It is a factory 4 speed car with top loader transmission. I have the Marti Report. It is 1 of 753 with this engine/transimission combination. Original color is Clearwater Aqua and car needs a repaint. Car is very straight with solid rear quarters, rocker panels, trunk pan and bottom of doors. The car had a vinyl roof and there are some rust issues near the back window on the sail panels that will need repair. It has black bucket seat interior which is original and in great shape for a car 40 years old. A couple of small tears in the upper portion of the drivers seat and on the door panels. Carpet and headliner need replacing. Dash has some cracks. This car runs and drives excellent with tremendous power. The engine dyno-ed at 425 HP and 451 ft pounds torque.
