[@xxjorjorlover2239xx]

[@fanficrulez]

[@System6VideoProductions]

The old saabkyle videos.

[@Meteor62x2]

I have a '61 Ford, too. Drives like a dream. Love her! Currently being repainted light pink.

[@jambocamera07]

gotta love the classics. that is truely a one of a kind

[@FalconGhia]

Pretty nice car! It reminds me the Ford Falcons of the 60's in details like the mirror, the door opening levers.What a pitty it doesn't work, but as long as the body remains in good shape it is not impossible to fix or replace, Iguess. Greetings from Argentina!

When you pulled that paper out of the glove box at 8:45 I immediately recognized that barcode in the upper left corner, it's for an optical scanner to advance the counter on a microfilm camera. I spent six years doing that in the mid 90s for insurance documents, feeding them into a slot on the machine that would take a picture of both sides at the same time onto dual rolls of 16 millimeter microfilm.

Thing has tons of potential, if someone got it running you could drive it the way it sits I'd say. A Mayberry patrol car is on my list of cars I need, I love police cars in general but its so cool to see the old ones and how they were set-up compared with new cruisers.

[@OsbornTramain]

This isn't a Ford Galaxie, it's a Ford Fairlane. Galaxie's had completely different roof lines from the Fairlane. The Galaxie Shared the Roof with Mercury Montery's and Meteor Montcalm for 1961. Police cars would have been the less expensive Fairlane in 1961

[@alfredomatta]

classic!!! i love it

[@Cad4702]

I wAnted this car but it was maybe sold out

[@MercedesF700]

Wow. These were the old cars that had those old big V8s in them. 5/5

[@EasilyWowed]

Always loved the 61' cat tail lights/cat ear wings.

[@avgeek1930]

Great car

[@chorstma44]

That is such a cool car. That would be a good car for someone to restore. Was it owned by somebody or some company or just an abandoned car?

[@chorstma44]

That car is amazing. I would buy it and then restore it if I could

[@EricAtMazda]

Damn that's pretty well worn out, funny about the hood release, my grandfather's 1957 Beetle has a traditional hood release inside the vehicle, I wish there wasn't snow all over the place, I want to drive it!!

[@Goldenrod636]

That car has a power antenna? What car does our father have now that his Escalade is gone?

[@robertwenzell9510]

Nice '61 Fairlane.It does not have a 390 FE engine;it does have a 292 Y-Block(you can tell by the exhaust manifolds and the valve covers-and that looks like the original engine color;Ford Red).The car has no power brakes,just standard drum brakes and a 2-speed Ford-O-Matic Transmission.As of the date of this post,I really do hope Someone got this beauty road-worthy.Thanks.

[@davidforsberg848]

you should make a video on a 1965 mercury marauder

[@mrfarmerjimbob]

I think it's a 292 with a Fordomatic. That's not an FE block-it's a Y-Block& I don't think that Ford did the 312 in 61. I think, that the only Y-blck available then was the 292 with a 2-barrell, although I'm willing to be proved wrong if anyone knows better. Looks like the body is pretty solid & straight & wouldn't be too difficult to restore--the interior could be another story.

[@userunavailable3095]

Yeah, in 1961 it was rare that anyone would think of popping your hood to jack your battery or crosswire your engine.

[@TateLaPrade]

First comment in 2 years baby :)

[@codyrichey6070]

I got a ford galaxie 500 in my driveway runs but needs lot of work done

[@barnie7219]

don't leave it parked on the grass for long term it will rot the floorboards

[@matanegozi]

can you do a ford model t

[@randomrazr]

ford galaxie has a nice ring to it lol

[@matrox]

Didnt need an inside hood release back then because most people had sense and no one was steeling batteries and messing with peoples cars. Most people then left there windows down all night unless rain was expected.

[@matrox]

A 50 year walk back through time.

[@gajda1984]

Now... THAT'S A CAR! Does it got a 352? So sad to see it sitting around, someone needs to get it running. My grandpa had a 65 burgundy exterior/interior one.

[@fordf22raptor]

@rob16875 ur right my 1970 ford f100 and mustang do it ford did so there no way to really tell unless you wrote it down

[@RetroVintageItems27]

Hey, ? what does this mean "it does not fun". Do you mean it does not run??? RetroVintageItems27

[@matrox]

When he opened the glove box I first thought the bottle of oil was a .38 service revolver case.

[@codyrichey6070]

The car was in NASCAR no joke

[@lightningmcqueen5225]

This isn't a Ford Galaxie Sheriff Andy Griffin this is a Ford Fairlane 500 Sheriff Andy Griffin Tribute Sedan.

[@検閲]

Alrighty then

[@gojoe283]

Actually it's not a Galaxie. It's a Fairlane, the cheaper model in the big Ford line for 1961...It's got an FE series big block (probably a 390), Fordomatic transmission, power steering, manual brakes, radio delete. Probably that way a cop car would have been ordered back in '61...

[@vochus56]

Nice Fairlane¡¡¡

[@herbielover535]

Cool car just needs some work done on the paint, a new headliner, a gas peddle, a horn rime, some work done on the chrome, the door lock needs to be fixed, work on the back seat and the floor, clean up the engine and get it running, apart from all that this thing looks awesome, it’s so cool I love classic cars. Just saying if you have a classic you want to show it off kind of hard to do if it doesn’t run

[@herbielover535]

Oh and fix the shifter display so that it will show that it’s in park when it’s in park instead of saying it’s in neutral when it’s in park

[@Bam1x]

2021 anyone?

[@DarkMan2555]

old old car but it is nice you can put a new motor in it

[@fordf22raptor]

who ever owned this doesn't know the true value of it how much is it?

[@luigi2999]

Gomer has some work cut out for him.

[@artthefarter]

they dont make them like they used to.

[@randomrazr]

all metal dash....now that would last a long time, but ina crash, i think id rather have my face smashing agaisnt a vynal dash (or airbag lol) then an all metal dash XD

[@matrox]

I bet that car still smells like Otis.

[@Gunny426HemiPlymouth]

Your both low, that's a police car, its probably 234,000!..... Andy and Barn had a lot a ground to cover....

[@monarch1957]

Pretty basic car no radio clock power brakes or windows. But they were about $2500 when new.

[@jimmtpicornell]

Christ we have a 1960 Ford Galaxy in the philippines my dad bought it in 1967 we still have the car up to now but its in the repair shop for body works and it has been their since 2005 hahahahahahaha its been decades ..... lol

[@lightningmcqueen5225]

There is no such thing as a Ford Galaxie Sheriff Andy Griffin Tribute Sedan.

[@matrox]

Most would not recognize Mayberry today. I understand it has 2 shopping malls, littered with new townhouse communities, the interstate runs right through it. Lots of illegals migrate there and the town mayor is gay.
