1970 Galaxie 500 2 Door Sportsroof.

This is my 1970 Galaxie 500 Sportsroof.
After owning my 1965 Galaxie for about 18 months, I decided the only way to go was with a 2 door fastback Galaxie. After going to the 88 Summernats in Canberra, and checking out what was available over there, this is the car I came up with.
It originally came from Washington, thought to be brought to Australia around 1977 for government use, and in 1988 I purchased it.
It looked like a wedding car when I got it, but it didn't take long before I gave it a matt black paint job to toughen it up a little, a set of wheels, and a lowering job. Four variations later, and it now carries a front end painted in gloss Wild Violet scallops.
The left to right hand drive conversion was done by the previous owner, and uses an Aussie 1971 Galaxie dash.
It runs a warmed over 460, a shift kitted C6 auto, and a 3.25 nine inch.
