Abandoned 1964 Ford Galaxie Hasn't Run in 32 Years! | Roadworthy Rescues

[@ViceGripGarage]

This was a really fun build!

[@Rob-Müller]

Ya, but I thought you moved down south to avoid the white stuff! That chrome valve cover will getcha home....nope. Home built Blue Bottle exhaust I see.

[@donaldmccracken217]

when can we see the rest of this story its very interesting

[@futten3230]

with i could have heard that thing i bet is sounded real sweet

[@Kamphausen]

sorry to see this great revival beeing crunched into 19 minutes...looking forward to an "editor's cut "

[@brianmashak5413]

its from his tv show you probably wont get the whole episode on youtube @@Kamphausen

[@Red-ng6jd]

Hate how these episodes are so short. Always leaves me wanting more!

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

Yeah. That's the point. They want you to pony up for their premium service. Honestly though it's pretty cheap, and there's lots of good content.

[@skotsman_8161]

Totally agree. SMH

[@mr.intensity2685]

They are short because they are from the Motor Trend channel. They are teasers to get you to subscribe to the Motor Trend streaming service. I believe that the only full episode on KZbin is episode 1 with the Mustang.

[@johnlombardi1021]

hey do it on purpose so youll subscipe to motortend and your right want more and that sucks

[@Meatpipeify]

Go watch Vice Grip Garage! Tons of this stuff in long form.

[@HappyHands.]

I would of loved to have seen this as a full Vice Grip Garage episode

[@koolkar55]

I have absolutely no idea how you find time to do these " outside your channel" builds. You are an amazing man Derek. Truely outstanding. Billy J.... Australia.

[@Powerstroke98]

I agree, but he sure seems to have fun doing so! Better than working the 9 - 5 jobs for sure!

[@denisegoble4161]

Derek we bought a classic Mustang yesterday! 1965, my dream car! We are going to fix her up. I love watching your videos, I am helping get her fixed up and I have learned so much from you! Keep on bringing the thunder!

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Derek I sure hope you continue filming this project . I remember as youngster when that car came out. Back in the day myself and friends could name and date every new car that was produced. Gosh how I loved those days. They were just beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸👍. Artie

My oldest brother was like that, no matter what car it was he knew what it was with details. Sadly he passed away, the car community lost a great one there! He was also the "Clutch Man" for Don Prudhomme "The Snake" from the great Snake vs Mongoose days!!! Wish he was still here to help me set up a small tire no prep car!

[@Sean-i4r]

So glad Derrick got a main stream show.Give this man a raise

[@kayeninetwo3585]

Love the Galaxie. One of the best looking full size cars of the 60's...and there were many good looking full size cars back then. Look forward to seeing it run.

[@parlance.electricco]

I need an hour of this...

[@craigmay8713]

I love the way you teach the next generation that these old cars are not that scary to bring back to life so they can live on and look cool ... keep on trucking Derrick...😁👍🇦🇺

[@terrytackett2403]

Love the old Galaxies. Such a great looking car. Looking forward to seeing it running and on the road.

[@standardnerd2046]

I feel like it's a waste having Derek do a revival but only showing 20 mins of it. Maybe the intended audience is folks that wouldn't watch VGG but it sure would be nice to have the 20 min version and the "full" version ( not the hours and hours of raw footage obviously so I guess they would need to put in a bit of editing work still )

[@Bluedino6996]

Couldn't agree more

[@MarkKatzeff-mp1bn]

Absolutely. The best part of these shows is the work

They were great old cars. My sister had a 61 what a beauty it was, a convertible too. This was back in 1970-71

[@johncaballero8013]

Really sweet built Ford 6 with dual fours?! That ‘64 Custom 500 is gonna rock and roll!

I hope we see more of this build. I'm not a Ford guy but, those 64/65 Galaxie's are an exception. C'mon Derek, don't tease us 😎

[@Powerstroke98]

I agree, my buddy's mom use to have a '64 Galaxie, with the 390ci engine, and boy it sounded nice!

When I watch VGG I have my check list handy so I can keep up with Derrick. #1 Buy car on site, unseen = check #2 Always check trunk first = check #3 Raise the hood and hope the motor will run so he can get it home = check #4 always ignore and pretend all the things you don't want to see isn't there = check # 5 Always travel all the back roads you can possibly find so you wont draw attention to yourself = check

[@mwaynem]

What a great find I love 60's fords. My parents bought a used 64 galaxy wagon in 65 or 66. I have 3 brothers so it was way better than the falcon sedan that we were in. Later they bought a 68 country squire what a beautiful car, and the 64 became dads pickup. It worked really well because everything in the back was steel. I also built a big straight 6. It was a Chevy 292. I put 10 to 1 pistons, an hp cam, offenhouser intake with a holly 600 and Clifford split manifold headers. In would do high 13's in a 67 short narrow pickup. You can get some assume low end torque out these long stroke engines. This car needs to be built it's beautiful.

[@tombiggs4687]

My first car was a 1964 Galaxie 500 station wagon with the fake wood and everything. I bought it from a co-worker of my mother's, for $200, in 1975. It was a real sleeper - someone had ordered it with the 352 V-8, 4-barrel carb, dual exhaust. A heavy sled, but it would leap at stoplights when I put my foot in! I had a lot of fun with that car... but only for a year... 17yo me learned a hard lesson that balding tires, heavy rain, and speed don't mix. No one got hurt thankfully, but I did shed a tear for the car.

[@brad2119]

Thank you for visiting my neck of the woods, hopefully you enjoyed the little snow we have.

[@jj3vgt]

That offy cover is cool! Looked like a fun little thrash build!

[@57Banjoman]

I know that you new it was a Custom, not a Galaxie, but it brings a nice memory-my Dad always bought the Custom-wen I asked him why he didn't buy the nicer Galaxie, he always said "The chrome and extra options were a waste of money"-thanks Derek!

Derek, you must have one of the best production team as in the world to not only produce but to help as well - great episode.
