Question
Ford Galaxie 500
I bought this "as a favor" from a friend who needed money and I know NOTHING about cars. I paid $2200. I had the oil changed and the guys showed me there is '0' rust underneath which they say is just unbelievable. It needs painting/upholstery but drives like a DREAM. I probably won't keep it because I really know nothing....what do you think it would be worth? Where would be the best place to sell it?

From what I can tell from the picture, you may have paid about what its worth. In Excellent (Show Car) condition, you would get $5,000 to $8,000 (Depending on options). Otherwise, $2,000 to $3,000 could be normal.
eBay may be your best bet to get more money for it. There are a lot of classic car owners that look for unique cars on eBay, including me.
