No Power Brakes, No Problem: 1970 Ford Galaxie 500 Country Sedan Wagon

I've got to assume that prices of used cars (classics, late models, you name it) are gonna take a hit due to this COVID-19 thing...firstly because the economy is playing rope-a-dope and second because people are supposed to be sheltering in place instead of going around and buying/selling cars. Regardless if you surf over to the craigslists in the places hit by this nasty virus, you'll still see people selling cars...and while nobody loves a vulture...everybody loves a deal?  Is it wrong to look at Seattle or the Bay Area Craigslist and see what you can get with a face mask and a pair of rubber boots?

Red Red Wine: 1964 Ford Galaxie 500

Nothing puts a smile on the face of strangers like a classic muscle car cruising down the street and nothing pisses them off like doing obnoxious burnouts on their street.  This next car is certainly built for the former, but could do the latter if you were so inclined...just don't do it in my neighborhood.  Find this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 offered for $11,500 in Albuquerque, NM via craigslist.

Green Monster: 1972 Ford Galaxie 500

Out of all the terrible retro styled junk to come from Detroit in the past few years, I really think they've missed the boat on...well...old boats.  GM should bring back the Biscayne name on some giant gas guzzler sedan, and Ford should bring back the Galaxie, complete with pushrod V8, larger than life styling, and color coordinating vinyl top.  Nah, the product planners at Ford are probably working on the next cross-over to fit between CUVs and small SUVs.  If you want to rule the galaxy, you'll have to buy a classic -- like this 1972 Ford Galaxie 500 offered for $4,500 in Stanwood, WA via craigslist.
