  • ***SOLD***This is a real deal 60s muscle car. You would not expect this car to move the way it does. It has a total of 23,XXX original miles on the body, the paint is 90% original and the interior is 95% original! It has zero rust, and only Ford components were used for the restoration of the FE 427ci Motor. She sounds like a jet taking off. First Person to see and hear her in person will surely buy it. It is a no B/S car with the original build sheet included. This specific unit was built by a former Galaxie / 427 collector. It was done right!
    Interior:
    The interior is near perfect; the only mark I can find is on the rear seat bolster (drivers side) less than ¾ if an inch located near the hinge. Otherwise, it is pristine. Take a look at the pictures and you will see what I mean, It’s like you stepped back in time! It even has the OE mats inside! The Hurst Shifter looks menacing and shifts flawlessly. All the glass goes up and down with ease; all of the gaskets are in pristine condition! Watch our walk around/ test drive video! The trunk is like new inside, and you could easily fit
    Exterior:
    The exterior has 90% original paint with two small touch-ups. I would rate the paint an 8-10. There are minor imperfections due to the sheer size of the canvas! The paint shows very well and has great luster. Wheels and tires are excellent and all of the dog dishes are near perfect. All the chrome is in excellent condition. The Door handles are original and show minor wear. All of the seals are in excellent condition. Looks like it rolled off the assembly line. There is absolutely no Rust on this chassis and or body.
    Mechanicals:
    This is a straight line Speed Boat. I use the word boat because of the sheer size. It is powered by a 427 FE motor from 65 mated to a T10 transmission with all the power laid out via a Detroit locked 28 spline 3.50 Ford 9 inch rear. She has 3-inch big bearing brakes up front. The Carbs are correct and have the Green tags on them, when the secondary’s open up, hold on because this high revving motor will not stop pulling. This is the same motor run in the Lemans Racecars of the era. It was built to run at high rpm for hours on end. The internals of this FE motor are all OE Ford components She easily has 450+hp. It is set up exactly how a weekend drag car would have been from the era, this includes the Track Bars and Full 3 inch Exhaust. All the bushings are in excellent condition and the suspension feels great. This big girl hooks and pulls until you let off. This is a turn-key Galaxie that needs nothing to enjoy!

    - Borg Warner T-10

    I hqd a friend in high school (we graduated in 1965) who drove a 1963 1/2 Galaxie 500XL 406 dual quad (His folks had WAY woo much money). He never took it to the local drag strip, but on Friday night, the Dodges still had more, but the 409's (as long as we had more than 1/4 mile) never shut him down. The soul of this car came at the other end of the road. As you head out of town, the roads are a mile apart. He had already figured what car dealer or grocery store was about 120 yards past 440 yards. Worked almost every time!

    Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories for me. In 1965 my Dad brought home a 63-1/2 Galaxy XL 500 with a 427, 4 speed. It was factory metal flake gold with a white top, white interior with bucket seats and floor console. It was special ordered by the owner of our Ford dealership in Sarasota, FL. He would take my older brother and myself out for cruises...he was a drag racer in the 50's and early 60's and had even bought a 1957 Fairlane Custom with the factory supercharged 312 brand new. I loved that Galaxy and in 1976 I had a 1967 Mustang GT Fastback with a Holman-Moody 427, 4 speed and 9" Locker Rear. One thing you were wrong on was the red line...the cross bolt main 427's would easily wind to over 8,000rpm all day long as they were developed for NASCAR and turned that on the track. I reved mine to 8k when racing for 3yrs and never hurt it. I wish I had seen this when you first put it out as I would have have bought this fine ride in an instant. Thank you again for the walk down Memory Lane and for the sweet video.

I constantly here my dad talk about getting one and having it restored to original condition. So I think that I have found the perfect Father's day gift for him and hope that I can pull it off. I never met my grandparents/ his mom and dad but he speaks so kindly of them and I'd love to give him a constant reminder of them because they sound like they were amazingly hard working and as loveable as he is..

Bucket seats, console, etc. We got the whole interior out of it. It was black and perfect. We managed to get all of it in without mishap. He pulled the old 390, which had a lotta miles, and was showing signs of old age. He rebuilt the engine with a mild cam, 11 to 1 pistons, porting and a nice balance job. This old car surprised a lot of people who thought that they had fast cars. I still remember the throaty sound when you stamped on the "loud pedal"

      TheRatshooter - Nice post about home made muscle car / sleeper. This would be a great thread to start ie "My favorite sleeper".
      In 1967 I talked a gear head buddy of mine down the street to build a wicked sleeper. I found a 57 Chevy 210 4 door post in light green that was owned by a school teacher in our neighborhood. He went to a wrecker and bought a nice 427 Corvette motor and rebuilt it to near radical street machine level. The car had dual quads, headers, full flow muffler system, 4-speed, posi, racing clutch, big radiator, scatter shield, very beefed up suspension and brakes, tach and gauge panel ect. Except for traction bars, wide rear rims, and cheater slicks the cars appearance was bone stock. I don't have to tell you a lot of guys got a nasty surprise. I think the most beautiful thing about that car was the sound coming out of what looked like little school teacher stove bolt. The best part was the investment was minimal to build a bad ass machine.

Went a wrecking yard and got everything from the bellhousing back for $250.00.
      Put stock full hubcaps on the car with only cheater slicks hinting at what the car was designed to do...sucker 327 Chevy's into street races they had no chance of winning....A 63 1/2 Galaxies with a 427 four speed with 3 K miles could be bought off a used car lot in Santa Rosa for 2900.00 at that time..good old days for sure!!!

    A great car. I've seen a very few at premium prices. You mentioned the hood. Most 63 & 64 Galaxy 427 had a raised hood to vent heat with some having a center bubble hood. If memory is correct. It also provided more height for the tall air cleaner covering the high rise intake and air cleaner. I believe the single quad 427 was rated at 410 HP and ran quarter-miles around 14..0 remember. This is a big and heavy sedan. I'm not sure about the dual quads 427 (full race engine) other than it was rated at 425 HP. Thanks for sharing a great piece of history

    What really makes this amazing is that FoMoCo did not get into performance in the 1960's until Lee Iacocca came to the helm and started dropping V-8's in cars in mid 1962. For the Falcon, the 144 straight six was the standard engine until 1963 and their first V-8's were just 260 small blocks. I restored and owned a 1963 Falcon Tudor with a 144 CU six and it was a putt mobile:)-John in Texas

      That's not exactly true.
      They had supercharged 312 "Y" block motors as options in 1957.
      and a 430 c.i./400 hp MEL available up and down the Lincoln/Mercury line in 1958.
      The FE engine started life as 332 c.i. and debuted in 1958 which was the basis for all the variations of 352's, 390's, 406's, 427's and 428's.
      Yes, Robert Strange McNamara had to go.
      He walked in one day and made the command decision to tone things down by forcing engineers install two barrel carburetors on Lincolns and everything.
      All this when everybody, including FoMoCo, was on a tri-power kick, among other things.

This was one of the cars I never wanted to sell. I appreciate all the kind words from the gear heads all around the world. It does have extensive race history, and was signed by some of the greatest.

    March 1967......just returned home from Vietnam and on a 30 day leave, looking for a car and found a red 1963 Ford Galaxie, 390 cu in, 300 hp, 4 spd, with a bench seat at the local Ford dealer. Not an exceptional fast car but I did win a few street drags but I was selective in what I raced, no GTO,s, Corvettes, never a 300 hp 327, and certainly never a Dodge/Plymouth that had dual exhaust etc, etc. Can't count the number of times my hand would slip off that shift knob and land on my fiancee's knee and most times a little higher. Yep, got out of the Army in Sept '67 and married my fiancee on Oct 21 1967. Today is April 14, 2020 and still married to the same gal. Later I bought a 1969 SS 396 Chevelle, 375 HP with a Turbo-hydramatic, posi-trac, damn that car was fast! Now I'm on my 3rd Corvette and these things are even faster than the "69 Chevelle was.

    Rebuilt the engine in Junior college machine shop with used parts.
    Installed it and after break in put my foot in it at a stop light... scattered the three speed...went to another junk yard and got everything from the engine back out of a wrecked 427 car...cost $250.00.
    Put stock wheels with full hubcaps on it with a set of Lutz cheater slicks.....passed it off as stock...left the column shift in place....had a single Carter AFB with 352 air cleaner and valve covers.. looked stock under the hood....had a blast playing with all 327" Chevys in town.
