AMT Ford Galaxie 500 kits?

Man that sounds sweet. Well i'll build mine with the Shelby wheels with black paint. Maybe red or white leather interior. In fact I have it here at work with me at my desk so I can go over the parts. I see already that ther are no Cobra valve covers so I can use some I have left over from a '65 mustang kit if they will fit. I know that isn't a Cobra Jet but I think I can live with that.lol (then again it does come with some monster size crome covers. Decision decisions...

Shelby/stang wheels on a Galixie is not strange at all. Back then you could order your car the way you wanted it. You could order those wheels on just about anything Ford made. That Galixie could be ordered with a 7 liter V-8 (428 or 429 cid I think) . Bucket seats and a 4-speed trans were also common as well as a choice of (IIR) three rear end ratios. Add the police package suspension, disc brakes, radiator, and alternator and you had one hot ride. I had a close friend who ordered the Shelby/stang Cobra Jet 429 for his Galaxie with the 4 speed and posi-traction rear end and the police suspension and cooling package, and the Shelby/stang wheels . Bright red with white leather interior and a white vynal top. Man what a ride.

 

those were the days 

you could actually order a car they way you want

Well got my '69 Galaxie. Haven't had a chance to fully check out the contents but what the review says is true about the wheels. they are a set of deep shelb 'stang type wheels. How strange...

no been around a couple of yrs

Is the scale auto site new? There were VERY few reviews. There was one on the Duster. I am still undecided on the Galaxie but I have my Hobby lobby coupons and I am on my way to the store on my luch break!LOL

the duster was a plymouth  a valiant under the skin

the demon was the dodge  a dart underneath

valiant one of my favorite cars of all time

I just wondered waht extra bits might come with the '65 and '66. Funny you should say that about Scale Auto. I just found Scale Auto today and signed up thanks for the heads up!. Yeah you are right about the LTD thing because when i saw the kit Iwas think it was an LTD but it said galaxie. Same deal with the AMT Duster that is really a Dodge Dart.lol I'll got cheack out that review. Thanks!

also check the archives here or  scale auto (their sister site) archives one of them did a review on the 69

well  on the hide away headlights it technically word be a ford ltd not actually a galaxie

but as the 65/66 goes if you built 1 you built both
