benjaminmeyer+FollowMy First Solo Mod Project 😎 '64 Ford Galaxie 500Finally took the lead on a car modification project myself. Usually I'm just lending a hand or watching others work, but this time it was all me from start to finish. That's my 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. Didn't go for anything too wild or complex. The biggest change was lowering the chassis a bit. Also decided to put some fender skirts on the back wheels. Don't really see those on a Galaxie every day, right? Some folks called it "gaudy" or something. I don't care. For me, it just feels right. "Things ain't so bad, cuz I got a Galaxie 500." Just wanna know what you all think of the changes. And see what you got. #FirstCarMod #CarMods #FordGalaxie500 #ClassicCars #CustomBuild #FenderSkirts #DIYCarMods #CarCulture #VintageCars 32Share
patrick16+FollowHow do I convince some stranger to sell me their Thunderbird that hasn't moved in 8 years?My dream thunderbird is dying on his lawn. For over eight years, I've been obsessed with this yellow 1962 Thunderbird just sitting and rusting away on a nearby property. It's truly my dream car, even though it's basically a rust bucket under a tree right now. Last weekend, I finally got brave enough to go over there with my dad. We found out the guy we thought owned it was actually a neighbor, so I just left my contact info. No call back yet from the actual owner. Has anyone ever successfully bought a neglected car like this from a stranger? What's the best way to make a good offer without completely turning him off? #DreamCar #VintageCars #Thunderbird #CarRestoration #CarCommunity #HelpMe #AdviceNeeded #ClassicCars #BarnFind #Cars 8480Share
schmidtgeorge+FollowThe Coolest Karmann Ghia Builds I’ve Ever SeenI grew up surrounded by Karmann Ghia and dreamed of driving one, but by the time I was finally old enough to get behind the wheel, most of them had already rusted away and disappeared. Seeing one now always brings back a wave of old memories. While browsing cars for sale recently, I came across this 67 Karmann Ghia. The owner calls it Low-La😄. It's not permanently at this ride height either, it's on bags and suspension details are below: -2.5” drop spindles with a EvaResto full premium air ride system with four way management (toggle for each corner) with a 4” narrow beam and impact plate to protect under the hood -front disc conversion with Porsche pattern 5x130 Porsche Fuchs wheels -chrome air tank and two chrome air compressors sitting on an EvaResto mount awesome, right #KarmannGhia #67KarmannGhia #VintageCars #CarMods #ClassicCars #Cars 40Share

jimmy13+FollowDid 1950s Car Culture Spark Rivalries? 🚗Anyone else notice how those mid-1950s car photos totally capture the start of car fandom drama? It’s wild to think families flexed their chrome rides like status symbols, but did you catch the subtle shade between Chevy and Cadillac owners?

Imagine the forum wars if social media existed back then. #VintageCars #CarCulture #1950s #Entertainment00Share
