Hi Dan...That was long before I move down to Fla. I bought it from Dickie Estivez. It was a fast back two door bench seat Galaxy . I had a brain fart I guess. Wished I still had it. It was a 390 Police Interceptor with solid lifters. It was like new. Getting rid of it is just one of those things I wished I had never done like getting married and having kids....LOL. Back then it was just a car and only paid Dickie around $9500 for it in the middle 1990's. I have a cpl. of pictures but I'm not sure if I can post them ? I will try.

Sounds like something Dickie would have . You're right , they were just cars at the time. Like everybody else I wish I had em all back . Unbelievable the cool cars I had and took for granted.

“Why did Ford get out of building sedans?”

Is what the next CEO will be asking when they are pulled in from another company to save the big blue oval once again.

It nearly did not recover Jacques Nasser house of Brands that was a huge miss step.

I miss Mulally

Actually worked for Mulally at Boeing (granted, a few ‘notches’ below him) and what a great leader. We knew he would right the ship and that’s exactly what he accomplished. Many of the ills suffered by any organization (NHRA is one prime example) is often self-inflicted by the lack of leaders with energy and vision. They also don’t marginalize any of their constituents. Think Ford has made a grave error here relative to their US market.
