Default 66 Fairlane vs. 67 Galaxie

Sorry, not a race, but I'm thinking about getting rid of my Bronco since I have no use for it and picking up either a 66 Fairlane or a 67 Galaxie. Won't be buying to race, just as a nice backup/Saturday car. Which would you guys choose? And if anyone knows of anyone looking for a 4x4 toy send em my way!
My bronco...


66 Fairlane


67 Galaxie

I could look at pictures of both body styles all day and still never decide. I've found that the Galaxies are a little cheaper though, not sure about the resto parts.

Galaxy hands down. Big enough car you can take friends with you, and they still have sexy styling. My aunt has a '65 she is working on now, needs some love, but still looks great

Yeah I like that it's so big, could fit plenty of people comfortably. I have a feeling that it'll just come down to what's available when I'm ready. I have a little work I want to do to the Bronco before I actually post it for sale anywhere. I need to finish the tune for it, I converted it to mass air when I rebuilt the motor.

Oh, and no luck with the fog light diagram, my buddy gave me his login info but I still couldn't access it. It keeps slipping my mind. He's got my wife's car right now, I'll get her to get a copy of the book diagram while she's there.

Either the Galaxy or or the Fairlane. Both can be really sexy if done right.

True but between the two pictures the galaxies is pure sex

Fairlane, takes a lot more work to get a Galaxie to look that good if your just looking for a cruiser.

If I find one I'm sure it'll be rough for a while. I'm in no hurry though, just an idea I'm kicking around.

Fairlane will be cheaper to build / find nice parts for, and will be worth more in the end. You better like the Galaxie because no one is looking for them.

If it were me, I'd add a Comet to your list!

Yeah I've been looking into parts availability too, and as for resale I know I would't make near my money back anyway so it wasn't a huge deal breaker. That second picture reminds me of when I used to want to build a Falcon gasser. These days I want to be able to fit a few people in it if need be and go for a cruise.
