hello

my first post, so please don't flame me too hard :-)

I have just bought and shipped a 1959 Galaxie from the US and just got her back to UK.

The 292 in her is locked up, any suggestions for freeing her up and maybe getting her running?

The odeometer reads 66k-ish, and given the general overall feel of the car, I get the impression that someone dies and she was rolled behind the barn in 1971 (there is a service sticker on the A-post for early 71)

here's a couple of pics

Cheers, Taff

1959 Ford Galaxie 2dr sedan, 292 (just woken up after a 38 year sleep!)
