'65 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan on C/L - Cottonwood, NM

Yep, I'm going to rush on down to Cottonwood, NM to buy this car - for $8k - on the basis of four pictures and the description "runs well". Oh, I forgot - it has airbags!

Another seller with great expectations.

Can't even haul plywood or dogs with the airbag junk. Wagon does look nice from what we can see.

 

I've seen this car. It is actually well done. IIRC, the paint is pretty nice on it.

Jim:FYI - there really isn't an actual town of Cottonwood! It's just an area on the West side of Albuquerque.

 

Thanks, I always have a hard time with C/L trying to figure out where the place is. My favourite is still the "Space Coast".

 

"Space Coast" is Floriduh! Nice area...Melbourne, Titusville, etc. Or at least it was when I was there briefly.....

 

I have to ask as you have seen this car..... what is up with the rear end/wheels? OK, could be just a weird angle photo but it sure looks like both side of the car, the rear wheels are far to far back in the wheel well. Sure it has mini bling low rider wheels but comparing the as close to as possible same angle shot of the car something just does not look correct, this wagon's rear end is.....shoved back..???

 

When I seen it, it was in traffic, and driving as normal. Nothing about the rear axle looked amiss. I live close to this area. I've only seen it once, and I was smitten by the paint and the "mild custom" look to it.

 

Airbags do NOT hurt carrying capacity. They actually enhance it, if they are inflated properly. Had them on my old '96 Ford F350 Crew Caw 4x4 on the rear axle. Loved them!
