1967 Ford Galaxie 500 XL 390 V8 Original Barnfind, Body, Interior, Motor ALL ORIGINAL

This video is about a 1967 Ford Galaxie 500 Original Barnfind

[@mikecagle984]

Had one just like it when I was a teenager back in '77, but it was white with a blue interior. Man I miss that car!

[@diogocatalano9557]

One of the most beautiful cars ever designed.

[@MetalsGuru]

This was my first car. I bought it in 1973 when I was 13. I wrote out a check for it for $200.

Excellent !! My first car in Boston ,as student around 1973..Stratis ,Thessaloniki

[@39thala]

I had one of these 67's with a stock 289. That engine was too small for a big heavy car like that. But it chugged right along and cruised well at high speeds. I had thought about boring it out to a 302 but never followed through. But then I had a '68 Galaxie 500 with a 390 like this one has. One of the best motors Ford ever made. It was fast, powerful and dependable. Absolutely LOVED my 390!

[@FawleyJude]

My folks had a '67 Custom 500 with that same 289. It really was underpowered, but I think they planned that when they bought it because it became the car my brother and I learned to drive on. A teenager couldn't get into too much trouble with a car as mild as that.

1967/68 were such terrific years for many cars. This one is no exception.

[@kosycat1]

and for music =] everything was awesome back then

[@1575murray]

I would include 1969 and 1970 too. After that emissions controls were added that cost mpg and reduced power and cars got heavier due to new safety standards.

[@tomfrazier1103]

'33, '41, '55-'71!

[@39thala]

Totally agree, I owned a Galaxie of both year models. The '67 had a 289. The '68 had a 390. Good running dependable cars. The 390 in particular was really fast and powerful. But I loved driving both cars!

[@51bobtube]

I think the styling is great. Very pretty car.

[@glenwilliams9752]

I bought the 67 mustang new in 67 with the 390 engine and four speed. It had twenty miles on it . Loved the engine. I was in Officer candidate school in Lawton Oklahoma and a fellow candidate bought that car with the 390 about the same time from the same dealer. Between us we left a lot of rubber on the roads around Ft. Sill. Both our cars were white with that red interior.

[@rescoalminor]

Sweet ride. Underrated car with great looks. Who could ask for anything more. In my opinion it looked better than the same year Impala.

[@seanmcgivney7631]

WOW! Fantastic, such a wonderful car! My brother had beautiful 67 ltd 4 door hardtop, dark green with the black vinyl roof. it was perfect in every way . His wife wrecked it in 1975, sad. I love the effect of having someone crouch down inside and rev, blinkers and all very clever!! great video!!

[@doug9066]

Car is as old as I am, nice to see a car from my birth year. Very nice looking car.

[@user-ku2bm6kw2k]

Beautiful car except those wheels

[@officialclownbusiness7788]

I knew this would be the first comment I saw the second I noticed those rims on the thumbnail. Truth be told, I kinda like them. Sure, they are tacky, but it's in a 90's way that reminds me of car magazines and hotwheels toys from my childhood, rather than the "biggest rims + smallest tire profile" look of today, which isn't merely ugly in my opinion, but also increases rotating weight and often requires raising the ride height, and thus, the center of gravity with it. It functionally ruins the handling, braking, and acceleration aspects of the car unless everything around the giant rims is redone to compensate for them, at which point it becomes an entirely different car.

[@gpiano88]

@John Texas A set of Thunderbird factory rims would be much more in character with the styling of that time. It's still a beautiful car. I had a '65 2 door hardtop with a 352 ci T-Bird V-8. It was tight and solid and only weighed 3200 lbs. Pretty light for the day is why it was so fast. I wish I had it now.

[@gpiano88]

@John Texas Both the 352 T-Bird and 390 were engine options over the 289 cid. The 390 was used into the early 70's mercury and Ford engine options. Do some research on Ford power plants of the '60s.

[@doug9066]

@John Texas I agree, i was thinking the same. Look better with stock wheels.

[@doug9066]

I thought the same before saw your comment. Would look better with stock wheels.

[@davebrittain9216]

[@Bobbyliscious]

The original wheels had to be in production for all street legal cars per NASCAR requirements. And I hate them also.

[@pre1980cars]

Yeah, its out of character, would look better with factory wheels and hub caps

Very helpful! I'm in the middle of restoring a 67 galaxie convertible with the same motor...need some inspiration...almost ready for the road but the top is done for and the body leaves much to be desired. Beautiful machine!

Ya, true, not an XL but 67 had such nice lines, kinda carried over to 68.

[@gtpcruiser02]

Why is the brake pedal missing the rubber cushion? XL would have a automatic floor shifter with a console and bucket seats. That's what makes it an XL. I know because I had a 1966 Galaxie 500 XL. This is not an XL

[@user-se5zg7en8z]

I love galaxies,I remember when they were everywhere😮😊

[@larryhawkins3294]

This car had the rare safety convenience control panel which had automatic power door locks in addition to the big block V8, power steering, brakes and air conditioning. Well equipped for the time period. It desperately needs thin white wall tires and period correct 67 full wheel covers.

[@soyounoat]

If that's all original, it's a great find. Doesn't appear to be an "XL", but it's real fine. And the wheels - they are way better than the 5.5" steelies and caps.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

I used to have this car but the LTD trim level, yet much of the appointments look the same. Those wheels have international agreements against their use and are classified under the “Psychological Warfare” clause. Mine was beige, with black vinyl top, and I was the second owner. Got it from a retired Citadel professor. AC blew cooooold. It had manual drum brakes though, but after I rebuilt them, they stopped surprisingly well, albeit with more force needed from the leg. That thing floated down the road, 390 pulling like a freight train. I don’t know much about old paint, but the paint on my LTD has a very satisfying luster, and was smooth as can be, even though there was some cracking here and there, and small rust spots in the usual places. I miss that car. I had bought it as a driver while I was restoring my 1968 Country Squire, which was my favorite car I’ve ever owned. 1967&1968 are my favorite years for most cars, especially full sized Fords. Just beautiful, handsome, elegant, mean, stylish, understated, and sexy as hell all at the same time. As an indicator of my affinity for these cars, if I were to win the lottery, I would acquire one of each of the 1968 body styles, all in the beautiful maroon of my Squire. If I’m not mistaken that would be six cars. Wagon, convertible, 4-door sedan, 4-door hardtop, 2-door hardtop formal roof, 2-door hardtop Sportsroof. All either 390s or 428s. The Sportsroof one would need to be 428 4-speed though. Awesome. The 1967 is right there though. 1966 are too square, 1969 are too corny and 70’s looking. I like my porridge 1967 or 68.

A beautiful automobile, but I don't think it's an XL. Dad had a '64 Galaxie 500 XL when I was growing up. The interior on the '64 put the '67 to shame, but I like the lines of the '67 body a lot more.

[@georgeesquivel2517]

Man look at that beautiful motor you know how do maintenance to it not like these motors today

[@MrChevelle83]

About 21 yrs ago I test drove a well kept original 67 Galaxy 500. 390 automatic 2d HT White paint with blue interior It rode and drove so smooth!! Had glasspack dual exhaust, all it needed was some interior TLC and It would have been right near a perfect car. It even had a set of the old Magnesium American racing wheels! yes they were corroded and obviously the real deal but nothing a little cleaning wouldnt take care of. I didnt buy it due to it being a big block and my financial situation wasnt the best to drive a 390 4bbl daily. Yall wont even believe the price I could have got it for but Ill tell it anyway. $1200 without the mags and $1500 with the mags. Yes i know i should have bought the car LOL

[@asteverino8569]

Ya man AM radio sucks, we have some channels here but most is the news channel. Put a modern radio in it. I would warm that 390 over too! Mine was warmed over to 400 hp and would boogie!! Wasn't a race car but had balls, would turn 13.70s at the drags. It was heritage Burgundy with Cragars. I want that car, what's the sticker shock.??

Most of todays society didn’t know how Smooth and quiet these engines where. I still recall testing a used ‘66 Galaxie in 1985 that I didn’t even know the car was running from inside the car.
