Hello from Pa.

[62Galaxie500]

Thanks for the add. Just found this cool forum today. We picked up our new to us 22 Bronco Sport OB last Saturday. Really liking it so far. One thing for sure about it is the Michelins are going to have to go because they don't.
Guess who ever owned it previously only ever drove it on pavement. I added the ventshades and removed the black pinstripes that were on it so far.

Michelins come standard on some BS's; I have a set on my Outer banks model.

I'm very happy with the michelins for the majority road drives my BS does.

Congrats on your purchase; welcome aboard.

My tires are about 5/32 now, so I'm most likely going to purchase the same tires I had on my 2001 Honda CR-V (GEOLANDAR A/T G015). Never got stuck once after traveling on the Trans New Jersey Trail from Brendan T Byrne State Forest to Batsto Village in 2021, plus drove it a few times on the sand roads in Wharton State Forest NJ.

Thanks Bucko.

Do you own a 62 Galaxie 500? If so, PLEASE post a pick. My dad had one, and I loved driving around with him in that car.

No, but it was my first car. I have a pic somewhere but it's not the best. Think it's a Polaroid.

My first car was also a 62 Galaxy. I barn find my grandma bought for me in 1976, cost, $200. It was a real gem as I remember. It had a 390 Thunderbird engine, C4 trans, 2-door, bench seats, Robins Egg Blue. It still had the plastic on the rear seat from the factory. Loved that car, for a 16 year old country boy that was even more freedom. No more riding my bike 8 miles to visit friends! I think I was paying just under .50c for a gallon of gas in 76. I seen a similar 62 Galaxy completely restored at a Barrett-Jackson auction last year, reserve bid was $50K. Who would have thought that in 1976.

I owned Several Trans-Am's in the 70's, one being a 455 SD. I've seen those go for insane money on these TV auctions.

I still have my 67 Camaro; that won't leave my family. It goes to my son, and perhaps eventually my grandson, provided there's still gas available then.

Sounds really familiar, I rescued mine from a local Junk yard... (that's what we called them back in the 70's) It was in fairly good shape at that time.It had a little rust that I repaired in our drivway. It was Wimblton white with red trim in the chrome side trim, with a red interior. 390 automatic. I drove it home, the price was $75.00. Those were the days.

Welcome. Nice looking Sport.

That cyber orange is a beautiful color! Seems to be a bit rare considering they unfortunately seem to have discontinued it for some reason. I love it!
