anybody think the vw truck is worth hooking up? I've been looking around vwvortex.com a lot and there are some sweet rabbits.

Duuuuude! You gotta drive the Galaxie in the background... I'm driving mine until I get another car.

OH.. is that thing fully restored? Dad's got a toolshed full of parts for it if you need some.

block

Oh i do drive the galaxie very often. I drive it even if my car isnt wrecked. Its not restored. it needs paint and a top. other then that its great. rebuilt motor 6 or 7 thousand miles ago. I wish it was a 390 or a 427 but its a 352 auto. I would restore it if I could afford it.

block

i cant think of any parts now except the dipstick tube. the shop that put the motor in lost it. other than that its complete

man.. don't you love that 2 speed auto?!

dad's is a 3 speed w/overdrive- which the OD kicks in on 2nd and 3rd gear.. so it's basically like driving a 5 speed. pretty cool stuff..

his only has a 289 in it, but when we rebuilt it, we put a crane cam, holley 4bbl carb, and TRW pistons in it. stock is 275HP.. we're guessing this one does around 325. it'll stomp most of the little civics around here.

the 352 is a dog. way slow. 2 bbl. i wonder what stock hp is on it. this one is a convertible. I really like the styling of the 63's

I forget what the stock power is on that engine.. I think it's around 250 though..

plus the auto doesn't help much, and the 2bbl carb really slows things down.

is yours a 63 or 63 1/2? dad's is a 63 1/2 with the fastback hardtop on it..
I'll see if I can dig up a pic of it in my archives.

I had a horrifying experience today at lunch...the galaxie had an engine fire. K&N oils helped it burn way fast. Only damage was the kn filter and a huge bubble on the hood.

its a 63 1/2 but i read somewhere that 63 1/2 convertibles were never made.

I think I am going to upgrade the carb and intake.


your dads looks nice.
