The seat belts are getting upgraded along with a roll cage. The car is getting a large shot of direct port N2O .
Badass Nick! And you know I dig your car and had a blast shooting it
Love your car Nick!
@@AutotopiaLA for sure Sean. We will do it again soon. Keep up the good work my friend. Love what you do!
A roll cage will be a nice addition ' and I suppose the new seat belts will be attached to it ? Lap belts really aren't a great idea 'and there aren't many options' although I've seen lap and sash kits for Mustangs that mount on the top forward area of the rear quarter panel.
Woah, Nick ain’t playin around. I love his car.
The 63 and a half for me, it was built in his garage in his budget. The other is just a checkbook build. 😎👍
Nick's Galaxie is my choice. It's more as a daily driver than the Bone's Fab one. A twin turbo 1000hp show car is beautiful but you are afraid of it and for it.
Nicks car for me. My reasons are the NA big block, great stance and wheel choice. It’s cool while totally retaining it’s ‘60’s vibe. But mostly because while very attractive, it’s a car you can drive and beat on without being worried about breaking some one off, irreplaceable part.
Nicks white ‘63 does it for me. I like the stock interior and it’s more of a daily drive. $1mill is to over the top for me.
Love ‘em both for so many reasons. The cage, side rails and harnesses on the Bones car inspire confidence but there’s something indescribable about a gnarly badass car like Nick’s. Something wicked about that big upscale body style on both.
I like them both my dad on the 63 so I'm leaning that way.
Love the Galaxies!!!
Hey Shawn, remember the opening scene from History of the World Part One? Well these two Fords turned me into Our Forefathers when I was old enough to not only love cars but also appreciate the design characteristics that Ford came up with to battle in NASCAR!!! Ok you can stop laughing now but these are my favorite of favorite cars!!!
The white 63.5 is my pick mostly because I have a 63.5 Galaxie 500 which I have owned since 1986 and I love it more every time I look at it. I like that he has kept it stock looking because IMO Ford got it right in 1963 and it needs no improvement.
63 is the boss
agree... 64 headlights bulge out...rear end of both is beautiful... 63.5 Front end just looks nicer... horsepower wars are outta control... full cage...maybe if you race it...or drive crazy... harness or 3 pt shoulder/lap is a good idea... Sean, I think you're really into the safety aspect since your last encounter with a dashboard... that car shouldn't have been on the road with the brake and throttle issues.
Agree!
Nick for the win!!! I have a 62 4 door hard top with a 390 stock at the moment.. but god willing she will be a beast or at least a cruiser😂
Loving the VS episodes, brother ❤
Definitely have to give the nod to the white 63'!
Change the hood and the wheels and it's the ultimate sleeper. OMG
That black galaxy is one of the finest builds I've seen in awhile. certainly at the top of the galaxy chain ..
Bones fab for sure. Just my style black everything!! The brushed ads a great touch. The white galaxie is a stunner as well and as a garage builder myself, i can respect the effort he put in it
There both are beautiful rides 👍👍
Based off of your Experience on Lap Seat Belts, last year I installed shoulder Straps on my Built 71 GT Torino. Great Piece of Mind for the Oh Shit Moment that we all Hope Never Happens. 😎
This Is the BEST EVER CAR RESTO SHOW I EVER HAVE ENJOYED SUCH PRECISE AUTOMOTIVE EXPERIENCE OF ANY OTHER COULDN'T HOLD A CANDLE 🕯️ TO WHAT THESE GUYS OFFER US IS FANTASTIC SHUNE IS THE GREATEST MASTER OF CEREMONIES THANKS
They're both stunning builds, I would take the 63 1/2. Love that big NA motor, and the original interior.
Though the black one is beautiful, I love home built rides and stock interior. So for me it's the white one!!!! That engine is so sick too!!!
Give that editor man a raise!
Intro was sick!!
I like Nick's car the best. I agree the interior needs modernized & I would paint it a different color... 🏁🏁🏁
I love white on a car. At least it isn't nearly as hard to make look good as black.
Nick for the win! The garage build getting it done, minus the interior, with cash left over.
Gosh this is a hard one, normally there is a clear winner in my mind but I really like them both. Totally agree the white one needs at lease a hoop and some race belts 👍
A tough pick, I love the looks of the 65 but really dig the exhaust of the 64 1/2. Always a sucker for tear drop hood scoops.
White N/A big block 500 for me! Something about a big power N/A big block hits different man that is my dream engine set up I will have one, one day😊
Sean Love you man!! Hands Down Best Car Videos on CZcams!! Keep up the good work!!
Crazy money goes into these cars.....
"BONEHEAD GALAXIE" FOR THE WIN !!
Too close to call, both FTW🏁🏁
If I had an easy mill to throw at a supercar, I'd buy the white one and a new duramax, Rmax, and a few other things. But what a way to spend it! 🤙🏻
Shawn, love your vids. I am much older then you. I put seat belts in all my cars. Even my wood push carts. But 1964 USA made all cars to have front only seat belts. 1963 they had to have holes in the floor boards to install seat (lap) belts. So all my child hood we never had seat belts(lap belts). My first car with factory installed lap belts was a 1972 Corvette 454, 4 sp. T-tops, plus AM/FM (not stereo) n A/C. Then....
For me, the white one hands down. The XL interior combined with the stock dash is just awesomely simple and handsome. The only things I'd change on it would be to put a stroked FE in it with real cold air intake tubing pulling air from in front of the radiator.
Man, tough call on this episode because I love both of them! I will go w/ the '63.5 w/its awesome na build.
Great review man love both badass cars but NA ftw
The White & Blue 460 for me. Beat that sucker everyday. The black one is a cammer. But I don't wanna horse around on that every weekend.
The white one for the win. I love the black one also.
Both are great rides
Have always loved
The Galaxy style
Nick your ride
is straight Cool
I dig it
I'd have to agree
with Ya on the
Bones Fab build Sean
Amazing work
Huge power
I've always been big on
the pro touring builds
Great show AutotopiaLA🏁
Cool to see how
Far It's come👍
Love those galaxies
I got to the cage on the 64 and bailed. This is one of my favorite Fords. As much as I would love to have a 64 Galaxie 500 XL I would never want a full cage.
love your channel ,the white one by a country mile 10/10 AAA top shelf ,the black one to me is too much
I like both cars are awesomeness
The white car is probably way more fun to drive. You can't beat Ford interiors from the 60s. Across their whole line up from 62-66, they were all stunning.
Enjoyed!!!
I like the white one from the get go
Beautiful cars
The white one. Garage built and will see many more miles
That million dollar price tag is why I chose to build my Galaxie
For me it's the '64 Ford, one of the most sleek and clean body lines Ford ever designed.
For me it's the 63 Galaxy. But it needs an upgraded interior and roll cage to be a perfect car. I've always loved this style of Ford, ever since I was a teenager.
For this comparison, my vote is with Nick's car. Love the original interior/look, but gets up and goes when needed. All motor as well.
It’s a beast for sure and he’s adding a cage and harnesses currently which is awesome!
I'm going with Nick's white 63 1/2. Strictly because it's more attainable and usable. Throw a bit more money and time at the interior along with a cage for safety then it's a clear winner in my book.
I like that the 64 has a SOHC FE. However the 63 is my favorite because of its grassroots type build for the common guy. But I can understand the worry about harnesses and other safety features in a 1000+HP car, especially after a traumatic event.
I vote Nik 63 galaxy. It’s not overdone. Tried to keep as much original as he could. While coming with a great rebuild Gbu. Fr hartley
Black car for me, what a menacing looking ride!
I love videos like this that shows the different levels of this car game!!I'm definitely picking the black one..
Love both the cars Shaun,awesome
Awesome!
Yes, there’s opinion. Mine, as having been born in the early ‘50s and a gearhead at birth, is the ‘63 1/2. Affordability aside, this car does it all for me. INCLUDING the interior 😁
Just my opinion 👍
Dudes gonna have PTSD about every car with lap belts only. Especially after the red car.
Has to be the 63 1/2. Reminds me of factory racers you could buy. With that said agree more attention to safety features. 👍
Perfect
I'm sure easily half of that $Million dollar was labor. Love the car!!
I like nicks car. It’s stock drag pack look is awesome. The other car is to show look at me my million dollar car. It’s over done and over priced. Nick for the win👏🏼👏🏼
Hands down the 63 1/2 Galaxy which are used in the vintage Goodwood races in the UK... that is the one I would love because it's much more stock looking, particularly on the inside with just the lap belts and No roll cage. Probably much easier to service as well mechanically.
BONES for the 🏆
As a '64 galaxie owner, I have to say, on paper, the bones fab car is the perfect galaxie, the sohc using the old school high beam delete induction is fantastic. But I'd rather have the '63 in this case. The stock xl interior (bucket seats/center console) is great in these cars, and all the changes to the interior on the bones fab car ruin it for me.
The welds and the stance of the 63 are perfect, and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it all the time unlike the million dollar machine.
Nick's car with seat belt upgrade for me !!
Yeah man; I think the stock interior thing's cool & all, but for comfort & safety, the Bones Fab one has all the good stuff!
Hey Shawn, Both are awesome builds in there own perspective. I'll take either one them, just sayin.
Im with you Shawn, if you've ever been in a "life flashed before my eyes and that movie wasnt long enough!" accident, proper safety equipment in a car equivelent to the build, moves right to the top of the list for me too. Bones Fab for the win
Trouble picking a winner this go around. Loved Bonehead but I think the White Galaxie just barely gets it for me
Both Body shapes look good. Of course if I didn't have to pay the price difference, I would want the black car because it cost 10 times more. 1 million versus 100,000.
Not a this or that reply, but all $$ aside- I'd choose the '64 SOHC Galaxie MINUS THE TURBOS with a real FE setup. Everything else is outstanding! Turbos muffle that great SOHC FE sound, and I wouldn't miss the extra 400 hp. Those FE's are good for around 600 hp NA in race trim, and that's plenty for me. 500 + on the street is good, too...
I agree with you
Original muscel Power, i ❤IT 😊
Bones for the win 100%
I am building a 63 galaxie 500 4 door with a 352, and I personally throw away every single receipt for every single thing I buy for it, because yeah it adds up and don't want to know how much I have put into it when I am done.
Both awesome car's and yeah I like safty as well now as getting older with injury's do's that to you lol plus the seats need to be hugging you from moving around to much 🤙
Both are cool ' but I think 63's are way better looking than 64's ' and this '63 look's traditional ' and the wheel diameter isn't over the top .Although the sohc in the 64 is very desirable.
63.5 hands down. I would
Walk by the 64 to get to the 63 any day
Both are very cool and nice, but it is tough to beat a cammer😉
I'm glad he spent it and helped people keep there shops going. So sad he never drove it. Life's a bitch like that.
I'm for the white one
Stop it you know you cant make up your mind just like us but if i had to choose .
I'D TAKE BOTH.
CAKE & ICEING😂❤
I'm going the white car. The other car is too much for my tastes. I would quickly swap out the front seats for real buckets and harnesses though.
These are two great builds, no doubt. Mid 60’s Galaxies are just not my cup of tea, and I’m old school, cause I’m old, never was a fan of the Teardrop hood scoop. I certainly wouldn’t sink $1,000,000 into a Galaxy. I do like Nick’s car for the win with a little more money spent on safety.
Not a loser in the pair. But, I'd probably roll with the white car. I'd want to drive it and it looks way more user friendly. And a rock chip or small scratch wouldn't break my heart
Both
I love them both but the BLACK GALAXIE is the one i used to own a white GALAXIE 65
I like the 64 manly because of the body style and SOHC. What I don’t like is that full cage. If I’m going to have a Pro touring car, hide that unglamorous cage.
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Not gonna lie, both are truly "Dream Cars" even to a blind man. But ya know... that 429 Cammer Twin Turbo.... holy sh**. Right? RIGHT? I mean both are their own, I would even go as far to say if the white one was a 5 spd manual.... than there is NO comparison other than in model name. I'd have to roll the 429 Cammer. All day long.
No offence....it's a FE SOHC 427 !!
Both for the win!
And to those who worry about the price of someone else's build. Well, you know.
STFU!!! LOLOL
STAY FROSTY
DTIAFG!!!
Rip... to the man who didn't even get to drive it
I prefer the garage built over the throw a ton of money at.I don’t have to have somebody build me a car .nothing to say at car show except I paid a million dollars for a 500.000 car .😳😳😳
Shannon Hoon would've lost his mind.
Black all day
It's hard to pic the blacj
I’d take the white one all day long
2:44 9:15 Stance.
👍✌
