Vehicle Description
1964 Ford Galaxie XL "R" Code For Sale - Factory 427 Dual Quad,
Rare Factory Red On Red LMC is proud to offer for sale this 1964
Ford Galaxie 500XL R-Code for sale. When it came to "Total
Performance", no one could hold a candle to Ford in 1964. That year
everything seemed to come together with superb styling for the
passenger cars and some of the hottest engines the American auto
industry has ever seen. Introduced for mid-year 1963 was the
ultimate FE big-block engine, the 427ci V8. Available in two
levels, 410bhp with a single four-barrel, or 425bhp, "R" code
version with dual four-barrels. Known among fans as the
"side-oiler", these power-houses would propel full-size Fords into
the front of pack be it on the street, strip or track. If someone
had a hunger, a need for speed, Ford had a full menu ready to be
served up. Built at Ford's Atlanta, Georgia assembly plant towards
the end of November 1963, it was factory finished in gleaming
Rangoon Red on the exterior and Red vinyl bucket interior. It was
originally delivered new to the Altanta ordering district as
denoted on its trim tag with a DSO of "21". Best of all the
original owner had stepped up for the pricey top of the line
$461.60 "R" code 427ci dual quad engine option, which also required
an addition $188 for the 4-speed manual transmission. All that
grunt is channeled through a bulletproof 9-inch rear axle. As if
that wasn't rare and interesting enough, this car also has the
500XL package, making it surprisingly comfortable even as that
barely-detuned race engine churns away just on the other side of
the firewall. Not many would expect a car this big from this period
to be so fast, but it is. This vehicle has been well kept over its
lifetime and remains largely original with one exterior repaint in
the correct Rangoon Red colour. This is a rare opportunity to
purchase a prime example of a full-size performance Ford from the
breed's golden age. Don't miss out! Additional Details: 1964 FORD
