A few days ago, I bought a 1964 Galaxie 500 2 dr post car from a friend. He got it in trade when he sold a truck, did some work on it, but he wasn't into it and dropped the price low enough to get my interest. Under the hood, is a 4 bbl FE engine. He thought it was a 352, but I can't any info these cars got 4 bbl 352's in 1964. I am currently scraping 50 years of grease and muck off the engine and trans in order to figure out what it really is. The trans is 3 spd manual, on the column.
Current plans are to get it running and driving again, reliably and safely, clean it up really well, new tires, wheels and exhaust. Then probably pass it along to someone to finish.
For being from Nebraska, it is pretty solid. The trunk pan is a bit rusty, the floor pan and frame are really solid. the left front fender is done in, but the local yard has 6 of these and I am told two of them have good left fenders. We will see.
The pics below are the ones I took the first time I looked at it. I have more to upload later.
