Replying to: ghulet (Jul 05, 2009 1:47 am) I think it had PW, yeah...the little cranks are for the wing/vent windows, I think....I remember my Galaxie had normal cranks for the side windows, and small ones for the wing/vent windows. The fintail just has a round dial that is turned to open those windows. I think that car would be a fair enough deal for 2 grand, assuming that it has no major mechanical needs....but if one does a nut and bold restoration, they are still going to be buried alive in it.

Replying to: fintail (Jul 05, 2009 6:59 am) Sounds like it might be a neat car to have and drive around in for $2K or, hopefully, less. Like Ghulet, I've always had a thing for those big 4-door hardtops. I'd never put any serious money into it though, unless it was a true labor of love.

Replying to: andre1969 (Jul 05, 2009 7:05 am) What would that thing have in it, like a 394? I will say I like that color combo a lot...the exterior color reminds me of the "diamond blue" of my old W126...a color that doesn't seem to work well on most modern cars...or it is seen very seldom anyway.

Replying to: imidazol97 (Jul 05, 2009 6:20 pm) The blue car had vertical sewn lines in the inserts like the brochure....the insert cloth also seemed kind of wrinkled, I don't know if that was a factory texture or an age issue. I won't be down there again for about 8 weeks probably...but it might still be there. I'll make an offer on your behalf
