And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Nice. Very correct looking hot rod. 427 side oiler on a stick maybe? Be my first choice, all round Brembo's, Crown Vick front suspension unit, super duty limited slip. Yeah brother!
When queried about possibilities for my first car, Daddy told me we would get me whatever kinda car I could afford and after saving and conniving the cash it was gonna be a '65 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible (red, black top, buckets, console, floor shifter, factory styled wheels, a 352 and the ultimate advantage, I had the money!) and that was when Daddy give me the second piece of the puzzle: Whatever kinda car I could afford as long as it didn't have too big an engine and haul too many hoodlum kids, and to keep looking. I think about that car today and still grind my teeth in frustration.
That is a '67. I had one, my first car, bought in '73. I was broke, paid $425 for it. If I had another $50 or so, I probably could have afforded a car with reverse.

ReplyDeleteI miss my 1969 LTD. That 390 was a wonderful engine.
ReplyDeleteBelieve that's a 67 Galaxie 500.
