For full features; Go to 1962 Galaxie for sale
Hi all,
I have a 1962 Galaxie with a 223 straight six, 3 on the tree 2 door hard
top. It needs work.
Starts but doesn't run long. Gas tank may be rusted out. It's been sitting
in a pasture for many years but body isn't too bad considering.
My dad got it sometime in the late 1970's when it had only 30,000 miles on
it and was pale yellow. (It was Corinthian white originally, according to
the id plate). He gave it to me around 1985 with 60,000 miles and shortly
thereafter the speedometer (and odometer) cable broke. I drove it till
about 1998 and then parked it because it began overheating and I didn't
have time to work on it. (I think it may need a new water pump). It was
painted blue around that time, too. It has the optional full cover hubcaps
and replacement taillights that include back-up lights. (I think I still
have the originals.) The upholstery is mostly shot. I also have reprints of
the original shop manual, dealer pamphlets etc. although those are pretty
weathered.
It always ran well before I parked it and was quite fun to drive.
I'm not sure what it's worth but would be interested in selling it if
anyone wants to make an offer.
I live in Northern Kentucky 9 miles south of Cincinnati.
I can email pictures if you like.
Thanks for your time and interest.
Kyle
