(17,086 posts)My 2006 still has the same basic engine block as AMC's, and I'm not missing that front leaf spring suspension at all.

(17,086 posts)I think the rear was a "two-pack" (?) leaf spring. Talk about a saggy rear end...
Done right, they are good for transferring the power to the street, but for four wheeling, they kind of suck.

(47,675 posts)The Galaxie was never beaten in a drag. The owner's manual said not to do over 70 in 1st gear. I popped it into second at 75 a few times. Talk about a NECK breaker. She never lost a drag. I've had her in storage since '89 and she's still in great condition. My grandfather bought her new when I was five.
He put in the "AROOOGAH" horn.

(47,675 posts)There were very few H1's available (and Ahhhhhnold owns one). The others are just ugly over-priced pieces of shit, mostly owned by real estate agents.
